Bulk Pure Whey Protein Powder Shake, Salted Caramel, 500 g, Packaging May Vary

Amazing product. Other protein powders I took were very heavy and thick when I mixed with milk, which is what I have it with. This was surprising light and not that filling, which is personally a good thing. I didn't even need to blend it, which is what I had to do with others. Just a quick shake with a shaker, and it mixes perfectly after a few seconds. Doesn't separate if left for a prolonged period of time. Very nice, quick way to get in a free 20g of protein, as the whole process of me preparing, shaking, drinking and washing my shaker only takes about 15 minutes (10 minutes drinking). Very convenient size, good seal, aesthetic packaging. Very easy way to put on extra muscle, highly recommended.

Shakes are the best non-meat protein source ive found so farChocolate - Okay, just as youd expectChocoate Honeycomb - Not that different from chocolate, barely a differencePistachio - Good lord burn this s*** it taste like freezer refridgerant, I had to bin my whole bagSalted Caramel - Good, sweet, smooth. Its pretty good but I wouldnt wanna have more than about review stating FlavorsChocolate cookies - Same as honeycomb its barely different from chocolateVanilla - Its okay, as youd expect vanilla to taste, its pretty calm, you may not get bored of it as its more creamyStrawberry - Taste a little bland but yeah its strawberry. def not as strong as your normal strawberry milkshare, you will get bored of this afterWhite chocolate - as youd expect, akin to nestle milkybar mixed with a slight flowery/powdery taste. This is on the sweeter/sugary side and tbh it does clearly state "With sweeters"Berries and cream - This one is a bit unexpected. It does not taste like normal berries or fruit. Its more kind of like how those fancy sounding vapes smell? I mean its good, but if you were thinking strawberry/blueberry specific, thats not what it taste like. Does it taste fruity, yes just not like any actual fruit

I was pleasantly surprised by the unflavoured protein powder - it actually tastes pretty neutral, which is exactly what I needed. It's not too sweet and doesn't have any strong aftertastes, so it mixes well with both water and milk. What really impressed me though was how easily it dissolves - no clumps or grainy texture here. The only thing that could be improved upon is the packaging, but overall I'm happy with this purchase!

Having used a fair number of protein brands out there over the years and struggling to find one that is affordable, tastes nice (or even ok), and mixes well, I am pleased to find that bulk powders satisfies all three of these criteria. It, especially the larger bag here (I ordered 2.5kg), represents excellent value for money for what is a decent and high quality product that will last me a fair amount of time. I’ve broken down my review into various aspects below. The powder arrived swiftly after ordering, securely packaged, and in excellent, undamaged condition.TasteOk, so a load of protein powders I have had in the past taste absolutely awful. Bulk Powders, as any protein powder, won’t be winning any culinary awards but does, in my mind, taste far and away better than a lot of what’s out there. Over the years I have tried vanilla, chocolate, chocolate cookies, raspberry, and strawberry. All of them are great and very drinkable with just the right amount of flavour and sweetness. Ordinarily, vanilla and strawberry are my favourites, and I find they all taste (much!) better when mixed with milk. With water they’re ok but are much more ‘thin’ and lacking in a bit of depth of flavour in my opinion.Vanilla, chocolate and strawberry all mix well into smoothies too and complement, rather than overpower, other ingredients. I like to make a coffee/protein shake in the morning and mix in some espresso shots with a vanilla shake. The vanilla especially is useful in baking and other less traditional uses for protein powder and blends well into recipes.TextureI usually shake mine up with milk, which with a little shaking produces a relatively smooth and palatable drink without lumps and, importantly, is not gritty. It is almost an in between of a protein shake and a milkshake.I’m less of a fan with water, but for me that holds true whatever protein powder I am using. It’s more thin and I prefer the thicker and creamier texture of when it is mixed with milk. However, mixed with water still produces a perfectly fine shake that is not, unlike many other brands, lumpy and gritty. I typically mix with water when taking it to the gym with me as I don’t want to have milk in my bag and am not disappointed with the results.QualityBulk Powders protein powder are high quality in terms of nutritional profile. Even though it’s much cheaper, it stands up against more established premium (read: expensive) brands. I’ve had no issues with using this and it’s a fantastic dietary supplement.Storage and measurementUnlike many brands out there that come in bulky tubs, Bulk Powders come in a durable plastic bag with a resealable (zip-lock style) top. The material the bag is made of makes it as sturdy as any tub and I have never had any issues of them breaking or tearing or any other issues. It’s easier to store as it’s much more flexible and has a bit of give to it where solid plastic would not. The only issue I do have sometimes is being able to reseal it successfully. This isn’t usually a problem, and the seal is very useful in maintaining the integrity of the product over time by keeping out air and moisture, but is a little frustrating and fiddly at times. That said, I struggle with most seals of this kind and my issues here are likely a product of that as opposed to this particular bag.A powder scoop, measuring one serving of powder, that comes with the bag is absolutely wonderful. It’s easy to use and to accurately measure your servings without having to faff around with spoons and scales. It’s made of a durable plastic and is a really handy addition to the powder.Value for moneyBulk Powders are definitely one of the most affordable producers of protein powder out there. They are consistently one of the cheapest brands out there and you can save a great deal of money when purchasing from them, especially if you buy in (as their name punnily suggests) bulk. Even though it’s cheap and excellent value for money, it does not compromise on quality, making it a sure bet if you want to add some protein to your diet.SummaryIn summary, this protein powder from Bulk Powders is high quality, excellent value for money and, in my opinion, consistently of a much better taste and texture than other brands out there. It stores well and lasts a long time and is housed in a convenient and high quality bag with a really useful scoop added. Having used this brand for years (for many different flavours as well as their creatine supplement, which is also excellent by the way) I am confident in giving this a wholehearted five stars and a high recommendation.If you’re going to get yourself some protein powder, you’d do well considering Bulk Powders.If you’ve found this review in any way useful or informative, I’d be grateful if you could let me know by clicking the “helpful” button below :)

Amazing protein powder! The flavour of the tiramisu is there whilst keeping the sugar content very low. It’s high in protein and low calories - hence pure protein. Reasonably priced and high quality. I love how on the packaging it says, “Grass Fed Whey” because it shows its high quality. Amazing stuff.
