You could try Olympus Health Protein, its a mixture of whey and soya protein which some say is better than 100% whey. Its not really thick but its normally on offer for £29.99 for 5kg. I use the strawberry and cream flavour.

www.bulkpowders.co.uk

Pure protein, tastes lovely and its high quality.
Plus you get money off your first order if you google for the discount codes.

Also they deliver via DPD free shipping if you spend enough, which gives you a 1 hour time slot so you know when to be in to recieve the delivery.

Thanks, I've just ordered some. Only ordered the 1Kg of the Raspberry for now to try it, but I got 10% off with a couple of free samples.

Word of cheeky advice, they do a referal system where if you refer someone you get £5 to spend and they get money off.... If you have someone else in the house with a card, refer them, get them to order you something that way you get more money off and £5 credit on your account.

So far my mum, my dad, my missus and my grandad have ordered for me earning me £20 credit and money off at every order!

Hey, that's good thinking. I'll get the OH to order me some stuff when I next need it.

No problem, been using the stuff on and off at the start of my weight loss and running, tried a few different ones from different companies.... However my choice is made and for the last 3 months I've used nothing else but that, just based on price and taste.

The worst one I tried was the PhD Chocolate Orange Deluxe Diet Whey Protein Powder from amazon, it was way too thick for me.

I love toffee popcorn flavour, I mix in some fine Scotish oats to make it a bit of a bulkier drink for after a 5K run. Gets rid of my carb and sweet after run cravings xD

I agree with the Bulk Powders ones. I love the vanilla - it doesn't taste fake like others I have tasted. Yum yum.

I use myprotein.co.uk too, fast delivery and a really wide choicest products. I use the whey protein and am slowly working my way through the flavours!

Another vote for myprotein.co.uk :-)

Alternatively, make your own with some soya milk, and cocoa powder. It's not rocket science.

A couple I really don't recommend are the PHD diet flavours in the chocolate or the vanilla, they're really only palatable if I plonk them in porridge. Other than that... Blergh! They're so so sweet!
Going to go for myprotein next time I think, I've heard loads of good things about both them and theproteinworks

I only ever get the Strawberry one from the PHD diet range.
I agree with all the others being way too sweet now.

Perfect for overnight oats.

I'm looking to add on muscle to my frame and am wondering whether I should add a shake of some kind to my diet? I wouldn't be looking at using it as a meal replacement but as an additional supplement. I used to take one called 'Precision Engineered Muscle Size Gainer Powder' which tasted perfectly fine, however didn't see much improvements. Any advice would be appreciated, also what do people think of BCAA tablets?

You only need to supplement with protein shakes if you aren't meeting your protein goal.
There's nothing magic about protein shakes for muscle building - just a liquid food that is high protein and very convenient. A very common recommendation is 1g of protein per pound of Lean Body Mass.

The big guys in the gym drinking protein shakes also lift big weights!

I'm another fan of the protein works I use their shakes, bars & have their choc mousse to try too!

I just ordered from the protein works. Very quick, took one day and has so many other things. I also got cal free syrup. and you get a free bag if you get the code online and 20% first order. NO i am not advertising lol. Just passing on a good deed.
