I got protein yesterday from Walmart. Yes I decided to be lazy and get a crappier brand than usual. I've had cookies and cream but it was muscle Pharm. This one was six star. It smells a bit off but also tastes slightly funny. Could it have gone bad? Expiry is 2021. Is it bad to keep it? Not sure if anyone else tried this one and if that's how it tastes. Not worth going back to Walmart and returning but just wondering if it's okay to use.

That said, take it back if you don't like it.
There's nothing wrong with protein powders at all and no reason to avoid them if they fit your lifestyle and nutrition goals.
Six Star is a brand, not a rating.
I get that very same protein powder from Costco and the stuff is like the finest wine compared to some of the other protein powders I've tried, at least taste wise. Costco also sells Gold Standard. Pretty sure roaches won't eat that *kitten*! lol
Haha thanks. Six star is actually the name of the brand lmao. thanks 👌
Ah okay. This one was the six star brand. Mp usually has never smelled for me. Maybe next time I'll get mp again thanks. Just saw these posts.
Hey. Muscle Pharm is a good one that I've used. The one that smelled was actually the six star brand from Walmart. It seemed there was no moisture. I basically stopped using the Walmart one for the most part and will probably go back to using MP. Probably the best one I've had.
Haha exactly 👌
My protein powder has no flavours or sugars, it's just whey.
Also I have heard studies where the raw egg protein was not as digestible and significantly less vs cooked egg. I would be mindful of that.
Sham; a thing that is not what it is purported to be.
Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's a sham. Now if you think they're lying about the nutritional value that's another story, but the well-established brands are well-established for a reason; because they're legit.
