Bulk Pure Whey Protein Powder Shake, Chocolate, 1 kg, Packaging May Vary

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 :)

An unflavoured protein shake might sound boring, but in a world of overly sweet and artificial-tasting supplements, it's a breath of fresh air. I've been using this high-quality unflavoured whey protein isolate for a few months now, and I can confidently say it's become a staple in my routine.The beauty of it lies in its versatility. It truly is unflavoured, meaning there's no cloying vanilla, sickly chocolate, or weird fruit aftertaste to contend with. This allows me to seamlessly integrate it into various foods and drinks without clashing with their natural flavours. I've mixed it into my morning oatmeal for an undetectable protein boost, blended it into smoothies with fresh fruit and vegetables where it simply enhances the creaminess, and even stirred it into soups for an extra dose of muscle-repairing goodness.Beyond the culinary flexibility, the quality of the protein itself shines through. It mixes incredibly well, with no chalky residue or unpleasant lumps. It's easy on the stomach, which is a major plus for anyone who's experienced digestive issues with other protein powders. I've noticed a significant improvement in my recovery after workouts and feel sustained throughout the day when I incorporate it.For those who appreciate control over their diet and prefer to avoid unnecessary additives, an unflavoured protein shake is an absolute game-changer. It's a pure, effective, and incredibly adaptable way to meet your protein needs. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a no-nonsense, high-quality protein source.I highly recommend this product.

My second favourite Vanilla flavoured whey powder. We use for cooking rather than as a drink. Best value generally with the pricing on Amazon

As someone who’s always on the lookout for a high-quality protein powder, I decided to give the Bulk Pure Whey Protein Powder Shake in Chocolate Caramel a try, and I’m glad I did!First off, the taste is fantastic. The chocolate caramel flavor strikes a perfect balance not too sweet, but rich enough to feel like a treat after a workout. It mixes well with both water and milk, leaving no unpleasant lumps, which is a big win for me.In terms of nutrition, it delivers 22g of protein per serving, along with 5g of BCAAs, which is great for muscle recovery and growth. It’s also low in sugar and fat, making it a guilt-free addition to my fitness routine.What I really appreciate is its versatility. I’ve used it not just as a shake but also mixed it into smoothies and even baked goods for an extra protein boost. The powder dissolves easily and doesn’t overpower other flavors.The 500g size is convenient for trying out the product without committing to a larger quantity, and the resealable pouch keeps it fresh. Plus, knowing it’s made from grass-fed European cows adds a level of quality assurance that I value.Overall, the Bulk Pure Whey Protein Powder Shake in Chocolate Caramel has become a staple in my fitness journey. It’s affordable, delicious, and effective everything I look for in a protein supplement. Highly recommended!

I recently tried this protein powder for the first time, and I'm really happy with it – it was a great experience! It mixes really well with water, which is a big plus for me. I got the unflavored version, but it still had a slightly sweet taste, which was great because it didn't taste nasty at all. Plus, it came in a big bag, so I think it's a great value for the money!

Early days for me to know how effective it is, but its very good in terms of usability. It mixes well and easily - but shake it, don't try stirring.I got unflavoured as I didn't want any additives. Tastes ok but I'm now experimenting with adding my own flavours or a bit of soft fruit - things that will mix in.
