Where are we going for protein?

I'll hang fire for now, but I've been buying from them for over 5 years, and the list price has never been this high that I recall. 45% off has always been my trigger point. Bars, flavour drops etc are the same price as the last order, it only appears to be the whey.

Try it again - put in Sale then Honeygold. 5kg for 68e

I have both isolate, total blend and impact whey all from MP.

Isolate is definitely the thinner of the three shakes in terms of texture. Is it worth an extra €40 for a 5kg bag compared to the total blend, 90% Vs 82%, definitely not.

Unless a person is looking to compete in Mr Olympia then I don't think they will see any physical difference between taking impact or total blend, versus isolate.

If money is no object and you prefer the thinner texture, go with isolate. For the other 99.5% of us who won't be competing and train for fun and to be healthy, then impact whey or total blend offers far better value for your hard earned cash.

No way €115 for 5kg Impact Whey is the new normal. There does seem to be a moderate increase so I don't expect it to dip below €70 very often for the next while but I'll not be paying more than €80 for my usual order of 5kg impact whey.

Not yet - picked up some Whey from Discount Supplements on offer, which pretty much price matched the current myprotein prices. Doesn't mix as well as Impact but tastes as good (Vanilla). Mixed with yogurt or blitzed in a smoothie in our house though, rather than shaker.

I'm skeptical on these Protein blends. I'm not seeing what percentage of different proteins they have included in the blend. It could be 99% of one and trace amounts of the other 6 proteins.

Blend contains- whey protein concentrate, whey isolate, hydrolysed whey, milk protein, micellar casein, calcium caseinate, and free range egg white powder

I'm aware, just normally don't need the extra protein from the yogurt to hit my goal. We were buying it, and then it disappeared for a few months, and then it wasn't available on click and collect (when we started doing that in the meantime), so it just kinda slipped off the shopping list when you can just go "repeat order"! Cost of whey definitely changes the equation even more towards whole foods rather than supplementation though, so I'll probably revisit.

Regarding the Total Blend, ultimately, does the make up matter? Genuine question, as it all looks milk protein + egg white, and if it's overall protein in take that matters?

Doesn't matter a sh1te unless your 6 weeks out from Mr.Olympia.

80% protein and less calories than the impact, cheaper at times too, no brainer for me. Chocolate smooth is good.

Have 5kg of strawberry I must try next.

It seems to be only the protein, as other stuff I get from them don't seem as affected. I do wonder is it something Brexit related, as Bulk are the same. Where as, so far at least, Irish suppliers don't seem to be affected.

My response was in reply to the post above yours.

I don't view competitors, when MP have certain discounts on that match my criteria I stock up, I usually have at least 6 months of whey in surplus so I'm never stuck and need to buy at their silly prices.

I have about 18kg of unopened whey that will last me until maybe October, if an offer comes up that equates to €12 per kg or less in the mean time I will most likely make a purchase, if not I'll happily sit out the next 6 months and buy on my terms.

The ones that come on here moaning about price are the ones that get down to the last few scoops of their stash, panic and think if their not consuming shakes, they'll lose their gains and struggle to curl an olympic bar in the squat rack anymore.

It simply has.

At least 2 occasions this year so far I have gotten impact whey for €12kg delivered or cheaper, got the blend for about a €10 per kg as have others so what you are saying is false and incorrect. You only have to look back on the previous page to see the evidence of those offers.

The unfortunate thing is there is no way of knowing when these deals occur. They can be very random, as such I'd suggest checking on the website daily, I don't sign up to their email campaign, I heard you can get 2-3 emails per day off them. Check daily and it's luck of the draw, when one of their better discounts comes up then go to town on it and stock up because you just never know what way prices will go now with inflation and all the other knock on effects that effect cost.

I hadn't looked at Total Blend until this order. tbh I hadn't needed to move from the default 5kg of Vanilla Impact Whey, which I've never had an issue getting €60 - €65 until this restock.

I accept it could be missing deals, but I didn't have an issue getting them before, so perhaps they're just live for shorter period of time.

Any sign of a price drop to the €60 mark for the 5kg whey? Ridiculous increase since February and not many deals since.

Code is not valid or expired. I’ll try adding to basket and see if they send me one.

Have you received this yet?

I got the choc mint and choc PB

Choc mint tastes nice but BB date is August so I'll use that up first.

Didn't think the choc PB was great, that's dated march next year, I'll probably mix a scoop of vanilla with it and alternate with flavour drops too.

Still less than €13kg for a quality 78% protein is an excellent deal.

Stack the true geordie code with it

Not sure how I was able to get both codes working. I only entered in true geordie, think the other discount applied automatically.

why in the name of zeus' butthole do companies still deal with fastway?

3 weeks ago I placed my order, with MP, lovely, tracking away on the fedex website, you can see it being picked up, transferred, leaves country,

then, it gets to the bermuda triangle that is fastway, and no sign of it.

Back to MP to see WTF is up, and they want me to download a missing order form, which ironically is also missing as the link is dead.

scaldy email delivered and a new one is on its way, almost a month later.

I'd chalk it down to bad luck, but the only couriers I've ever had an issue with are fastway.

5 seconds is enough, couldn't be dealing with those bloody shakers!

This looks like reasonable value - 5kg for €67. 71g protein.

What flavour did you get?

Few of us bought that recently.
