Monday Morning Review #1 - The protein works, whey protein 80 choc mint brownie | HarleyJade

So this is a new series I'm wanting to try out, if you have any better names for it please let me know. But here it is, weekly reviews to be posted on a Monday morning, I'm thinking around 7am, just in time for everyone to wake up and read with their breakfast?

But today's review will be on The Protein Works, Whey Protein 80 in Choc Mint Brownie. The price starts from £10.99 from 500g so it is pretty budget friendly. Plus, they always have an offer of some sort on (If you are wanting to make a purchase for the first time you can use the code HW125353 and you'll receive a 250g pack of whey protein 80 for free!!). 

Mixing:

Personally I take this protein in a morning, and I mix it with soya milk and ice cubes in a shaker bottle with a grid. Mixing the protein this way I find that it doesn't have any lumps. I used to use a blender to mix the protein, however I found this gave the drink a frothy head which I found difficult to drink. 

Taste: OK, so obviously if you was to take this protein with whole milk rather than soya milk it would have a more authentic milkshake texture as it would be thicker- my boyfriend has tried it this way and the taste in 10x better, however I cannot afford the extra carb/fat. The taste with soya milk is actually kind of weak, with a strong mint taste. 

There is no after taste for this product and it doesn't upset my stomach at all, unlike some other brands.

Overall: On a whole I would have to say that this is my favorite protein flavour that I have tried, the strong mint flavour overcomes any artificial chocolate taste (many chocolate proteins taste artificial in my opinion). I would recommend everyone to try this flavour, and I know when I run out of my bag I will be purchasing this in a larger.
Nutritional values: I have inserted a photo of the nutritional values below, and as you can tell that they are pretty good for a protein powder- probably one of the best I've tried for the taste.

I give this 4.6/5
