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

Product Information

It may sound unusual, but egg white protein powder isn’t quite like consuming your morning omelette in drink form. In fact, in the case of Blonyx’s Egg White Protein Isolate, it’s more like a tall glass of chocolate milk. Having spent many years in the Gym, and many attempts at bulking/building on protein shakes I have finally put two and two togeather and realised that the shakes I have been taking were leading to some interesting toilet habbits. Habbits I would have rather gone without. If you’re not a fan of long ingredients lists where you can’t identify half of the items listed, you might prefer what 33Fuel has to offer. The brand has a range of natural sports supplements that deliver the same performance gains as other products, while tending to be a little easier on the stomach owing to the natural ingredients used. Whey concentrate is the most common form and is often the cheapest, according to Rachel Butcher, head nutritionist at Natural Fitness Food. “It typically has low fat and cholesterol content but the protein levels can vary from 40 to 90% depending on the brand,” she says. “If your goal is to build muscle, a whey concentrate with a higher protein content is probably the best to go for.”

As discussed, a vegan option is of course healthier if you’re not able to consume dairy. But for those who can and are willing, whey has plenty of benefits for the body. Protein powders may be convenient for building muscle but they’re only really necessary for vegans, who don’t eat enough protein or elite athletes who are training most days every week. Personal trainer Max Lowery wrote in a 2mealday blog post, “The average untrained person needs as little as 60-75g of protein and the average trained person who exercises three times a week needs 1.2g - 2g per kilo of bodyweight. You can easily get enough protein from eating real food - the western diet is protein dense.” Protein supplements are used by all sorts of performers and athletes from football, tennis and golf players to stage performers and dancers,” says Shane Collins, founder of Circuit Society gym and co-founder of NUA Health supplements. “But we all cause damage to our muscles every day just by walking around and lifting things, and certainly when we train. Protein helps repair that damage.” This powder uses pea, rice and sunflower protein to deliver 20g of protein per serving and, aside from those three ingredients, all it contains is coconut sugar, cacao and banana. The powder mixes easily in water and while it does have a slightly grainy texture, it tastes great, with the banana and cacao standing out. Since no artificial sweeteners are used, the powder is relatively high in carbs and sugar at 15g and 10g respectively, but there are just 175 calories per serving and it also contains a mix of vitamins and minerals. To decide on the best protein powder for you, it helps to ask: what are protein powders for? Protein is a nutrient needed all over the body to help build, repair and maintain tissue. It is made up of chains of amino acids, nine of which are termed ‘essential’ since your body can’t make them itself.

Vegan protein powders are the fourth option. Pea, hemp, rice and soy are popular sources but there are plenty of others. “What’s key here isn’t just looking at the protein content, but the quality,” says Butcher. “You can tell that by looking at its essential amino acids – it’s ‘complete’ if it contains all nine. To achieve this, you’ll want a blend of at least two protein sources.” What is the healthiest protein powder to drink? Mass gainer’ protein powders may seem the obvious choice for those wanting to build muscle,” says Kristoph Thompson, director of S8 Training, which offers courses in PT and sports nutrition. I guess I will need to give it a couple more weeks to tell if its producing any awe inspiring gains, but for now I am thankful that I have found something that I can stomach. Wondering if a daily shake is too much? “As long as you’re not completely relying on them over whole food protein sources, which will contain more micronutrients, it’s fine to use a protein powder every day,” says Butcher. If you’re bored, try some in your morning porridge or smoothie. Which protein powder is best for weight loss? A combination of retail monitoring and supplement verification gives you peace of mind that Impact Whey Isolate is free from any impurities or banned substances.

So what’s best? “Building muscle requires resistance training, sufficient protein and a small calorie surplus,” says Thompson. “In theory, any type of protein powder can be used to boost protein intake, but a protein powder with added creatine may help maximise training performance and therefore gains.” Is vegan protein healthier than whey?Bottom-line is, I'm very satisfied with the product and considering the price it might become my new favorite protein powder. Heads up, these details are based on unflavoured Impact Whey Isolate. The nutritional content may vary based on the flavour you choose.

For a healthy body, the recommended nutrient intake (RNI) is 0.75g of protein per kg of bodyweight per day. If you don’t typically eat many animal-based sources, protein powders can help you hit that target. And they’re not only for people who go to the gym. With its higher protein percentage, whey isolate may be your best bet, Butcher suggests. “If you’re eating in a calorie deficit, it will help give you high protein content while cutting down on unnecessary extras.” Whic protein powder is best for building muscle?Nutritional values are based on our best selling unflavoured version.
