Hi everyone :smile:

I recently bought whey protein powder for the first time (vanilla flavour) and I'm down to the last 2 scoops in the tub, so I was thinking of getting more but a different flavour. I also didn't realise it tastes a lot better when mixed with milk than just water this evening when I whisked up a milkshake - oh well, lesson learned now.

Holland & Barrett have a buy one get one half price offer just now so was thinking of getting 2 tubs but not sure what flavours to get - there's strawberry, banana, chocolate and cookies & cream.
I'm tempted to go for strawberry and either chocolate or cookies & cream since I like to have bananas on their own anyway and it might be nice to whisk up a smoothie with a banana and one of the other flavours…hope that makes sense.

Anyone got any suggestions from their own experiences? I need to watch my money so I'm going for 2 of the 250g tubs.

    UPDATE

    Had a look around online and discovered another brand called the Protein Works. They've got a product called Diet Whey Isolate 97 with so many enticing flavours for £15.99/500g:

    Banana Smooth
    Banoffee Pie
    Caramel Macchiato
    Cherry Bakewell
    Choc Mint Brownie
    Chocolate Silk
    Milk Choc Coconut
    Rocky Road
    Rum 'n' Raisin Ice Cream
    Stracciatella
    Strawberries 'n' Cream
    Strawberry and White Choc
    Vanilla Cream
    Unflavoured

    I want to get 2 but torn between all these flavours (ruling out banana smooth, vanilla cream and the unflavoured versions though). Any suggestions - based on how they sound and personal experience if possible?

    Cheers :smile:

    Any particular kind from their site you would recommend? I'm looking under the fat loss category (as that's my primary objective these days…as well as fat loss and protein increase)

    to be honest I only get protein from there, I use their go whey 80 its low in carbs and sugars and there's about 20g of protein per serving. sorry I can't give you much more help as the protein is the only products I use off them.

    I'm addicted to the BSN-Syntha-6 Strawberry milkshake protein powder. The calories are higher than my other protein powders, but it seriously tastes amazing.

    The strawberries are usually fake tasting and chocolate ones are rarely chocolatey enough so I would say cnc.

    I had two tubs of cnc last year and got through it pretty quick, so good!
