PhD Nutrition Pharma Whey HT+ Protein powder - 908 g, Vanilla Crème

Over the years I've bought a quite few 1kg pouches of these PhD protein powders in varying flavours. Initially I was loath to provide a review for something so subjective as taste, but after buying yet another pouch in yet another flavour, I thought I'd try and help give an insight into what these various powders taste like.In general I mix 25g with 300ml of semi-skimmed milk and that's all that's needed. Any less milk and I find it's a bit too thick and doesn't drink too well. I mix them with a variety of other things too, which I'll write about more below.Vanilla Creme - I don't like this powder. I find it very sickly sweet, mixed with anything but especially with milk. I've tried it stirred into porridge, into quark and Greek yoghurt, and none of them have really tickled my fancy. I was able to finish the pouch but just through holding my nose and chugging my shake down. In my opinion it tastes nothing like vanilla... it tastes vaguely like a very sweet custard, very artificial and not particularly pleasant to drink... maybe a little bit like evaporated or condensed milk.Chocolate Mint - Heavier on the mint than on the chocolate. Quite nice mixed with quark/Greek yoghurt, not particularly nice in a milkshake. There's a very noticeable aftertaste of mint which I find fairly unpleasant just with milk, and it doesn't particularly lend itself to blending up with anything else (kale and spinach anyone?). Mixed with quark/Greek yoghurt tastes vaguely like less chocolatey Aero peppermint bubbles and makes a really nice snack.Strawberry Creme - This one tastes best nice blended with milk and fruits... strawberries in particular (no surprise there). It's a little bit tart but still plenty sweet and I find it does taste quite strawberry-ish. It's the one I find is most "true" to the describing flavour. I've mixed it with porridge in the morning (super-pink porridge) and also with Greek yoghurt and it's very tasty. Makes a good "fro-yo" too.Chocolate Peanut - I love this one. I mix 15g of flaxseed, sometimes some ice if I've got it available (otherwise I blend it and chuck it in the fridge before my workout) and blend it together as set out above. The only way I can think of describing this flavour to you is... it tastes like wafers. Again, nice thick consistency... gritty with the flax (but I like that) otherwise smooth just mixed with milk.I've tried it with water and it's OK, much less flavoursome than with milk (and I don't really like the taste of milk).Banana - You know when bananas get so ripe you can smell them from another room in the house? that's what this tastes like. I don't like it - I like my bananas still a bit firm and a tiny bit green - but if you like the flavour of banana bread and things with an artificial, very sweet, banana flavour then you'll probably like this.Belgian Chocolate - Blended with milk I don't find this tastes very much of chocolate, perhaps I was expecting too much (being a massive fan of chocolate) but I found it very vague of chocolate when mixed just with 300ml of milk. A little bit like chocolate milk (which I don't enjoy). It's very nice mixed with porridge for a hit of protein with all the carbs for breakfast, and tastes more chocolatey... since you're expecting a much thicker mix, it's really pleasant to eat.Cherry Bakewell - Another really, really nice one. Does it taste like a cherry bakewell? no. Not really. If you're expecting a sweet glace cherry with marzipan flavour, you'll be disappointed... but it does taste incredibly good. It's slightly tart (reminiscient of cherry wheels/laces, if I'm honest) with a gentle sweetness behind it. I've only mixed with milk thus far, but there's no need to do anything more elaborate with it when it's so good with milk.I've yet to try the chocolate orange, or the white chocolate, but I'll update when I do.Lastly I should say that PhD now - they didn't when I first began purchasing from them - do 50g sample sizes of various flavours and I'd recommend buying these (from the phd-supplements website) to try out before you take the plunge for a 1kg/40 serving pouch... or worse, a 2kg tub... and find you don't like it.

Being a big fella, I struggle to get enough protein in without devouring 2 dozen eggs or £20's worth of steak a day. Though I prefer not to eat "un-natural" foods, from a budgetary and practical stance, I have little choice. I researched the market on protein powders, and the prices can vary dramatically. PhD have a good name, and the price seemed reasonable, so I gave it a whirl.The primary thing with any of these (for most people, I expect), is what do they taste like. Well, the vanilla is lovely. Really, lovely. No peculiar after-taste, and that is a big plus if you're knocking one back as soon as you wake up. I only drink full fat milk, so for those interested, the macros come out like this (200ml full fat milk, plus one scoop of this stuff):230 calories8.8g of good fat11.2g carbs (8.2g net carbs)26.8g proteinOne, or at the most, two of these a day has me comfortably hitting my protein needs...plus you don't have to cook it! It mixes easily, I just use a standard shaker, put in the milk (or water), a handful of ice, and the powder and two or three shakes and you're done. I always use ice, as it keeps it cold (drinking cold stuff burns more calories), and the ice helps break up any lumps that may have formed.I have tried 4 flavours, though some of the others are available at better prices elsewhere (google it). I order of preference:1. Vanilla (this one) and banana.2. Strawberry (quite sweet, I let the ice melt a bit to dilute it)3. Choc and mint (not as sweet as the strawberry, but does have a slight after-taste).Your taste may vary, but you can't go wrong with the vanilla for starters. Being available on Prime is a plus.The packaging is cumbersome, so I just got 4 little plastic tubs from Wilko, each holds a weeks worth plus the scoop (you get one in the pouch, and each is exactly one measure).You can't go far wrong at this price.

As mentioned in the title, this is a supplement that works for me, after trying out different products in the past they all gave me the runs and never benefited from those products. It helps me hit my daily diet targets. I take a normal serving for pre-workout and a super serving for post then finally a normal serving before bed. I only had the chocolate cookie flavour so I don't have much of a knowledge for the other flavours but I've been recommended vanilla and banana which I won't hesitate to purchase in the future.Mix ability is outstanding it never clumps up for me. Its smooth all throughoutTaste is not what I expected its more like coconut but it isn't. I can't really describe it but its delicious regardless (according to my house mates and myself). A friend of mine, whom isn't into fitness, sometimes wants to purchase a serving off of me 'cause of the taste.Effectiveness is also outstanding due to me never experiencing the runs. Also my recovery time improved.I'm currently on a low carb diet (as of March 2016) and the carb content in these are fine for me. It is actually great for weight loss.I am delighted to say that I became a loyal buyer of the Phd Whey.Another thing worth mentioning is that the packaging design is well done; it is nothing fancy with all of the crazy colours slapped on to them- it is very professional looking.Will urge people to buy this. You will not be disappointed.

Whey protein ever!

Wir haben das Whey heute am 06.05.23 erhalten und es ist abgelaufen seit Dezember 2022... Nicht nur das... Die Packung sieht passend unappetitlich aus und macht dem Ablaufdatum alle Ehre und Reste von einem Insekten-Kokon kleben auch noch an der Verpackung.Zum Geschmack und Verträglichkeit kann ich selbsterklärend leider nicht Stellung nehmen...Sehr enttäuschend! 👎🏻
