    High protein per scoop. Low cal. Clean profile. Amazing taste. Make love to me TheWhey. I need you inside me.

    —-Introduction—-
    Chocolate protein powder. Legit my favorite supplement of all time. I’m always excited to try out a new brand or a product with an interesting ingredient profile twist. I’d never tried any MyProtein brand supplements before and appreciate them letting me run a tub of TheWhey.
    —-Ingredient Profile—-
    LOVE the profile of this product. A solid 25g of protein (mixture of isolate, concentrate, and hydrolysate) at only 2g of carbs and 120 cals per scoop. Also included are Aminogen and Digenzyme for digestion and absorption. And nothing else. Clean and basic.
    —-Taste/Mixability/Dosing—-
    I requested and received the Chocolate Fudge flavor. I’ve probably tried 40 different brands and types of chocolate flavored proteins and this is honestly in the top three. Outstanding. Tastes like chocolate pudding. I loved the taste from the first scoop to the last. Mixes easily in a shaker cup with no foaming or clumping. I primarily dosed one scoop in the AM regardless of whether or not I worked out. If I did lift, I would take post-workout. On weekends I’d throw a scoop of this in the blender with a banana and coconut milk. Delicious.
    —-Effectiveness—-
    Petey had a great breakdown in one of his recent reviews on protein effectiveness that I want to reference as it mirrors my personal stance: “I would strongly challenge someone to give a valid reasoning for saying that one protein is more effective than another in how much they gained from it. The minuscule differences that are noted by a user outside of a lab environment are overblown by saying a certain protein is more effective than another. You really don’t need a protein supplement period post training, and in my last 10-12 weeks of contest prep, use whole food such as chicken breast, ahi tuna and egg whites for my post workout protein and imagine that…it’s just as effective.” I’ve always struggled with gauging the effectiveness of products like protein and multivitamins. In my opinion these are staples of a well-balanced diet and should be used in conjunction with a solid exercise regimen. And I’ve never prescribed to the notion that you’ll only see results from using a pure, high-quality protein. To that end, I pick my proteins based on their profile, taste, and price. As for TheWhey, it worked as well as any other protein I’ve tried and I had no issues with digestion or gas.
    —-Value—-
    TheWhey is not widely available. I was only able to find it on Amazon at $60 for 60 scoops. $1.00 per serving for whey protein is high in my book. ON’s Gold Standard has a similar profile and includes amino acids, and will cost you .79c per serving. The cost isn’t necessarily a deal breaker for me, but many similar products can be had for right around .85c per serving, and that’s not including the frequent deals to be had by using major websites.
    —-Side Effects—-
    None.
    —-Conclusion—-
    Overall I loved TheWhey. It’s exactly what I look for in my daily protein supplement. The only drawback for me is the price. If this was slightly less expensive or I could get it from a major vendor site at a discount, it would legitimately be my #1 go-to whey protein. Even so, I’ll be willing to spend a few extra dollars and will absolutely be buying this in the future. 100% recommend.

    New whey blend from one of my favorite protein companies

    —-Introduction—-
    As the title states, this is a new whey protein blend from one of my favorite protein companies. MyProtein has shown me that their quality and value are some of the top in the market and that is backed by their LabDoor testing.
    —-Ingredient Profile—-
    This whey protein blend consisting of isolate, concentrate, and hydrolysate contains a clean profile with 120 calories, 1.5 g of fat, 2 g of carbs, and 25 g of protein. They also added digestive enzymes in the forms of Aminogen and Digezyme. Adding these enzymes to the already well absorbed isolate and hydrolysate should allow this protein to be completely absorbed by the body. I was not really a fan when I saw they included artificial flavors and both Sucralose and Ace K, but it is what it is I guess.
    —-Taste/Mixability/Dosing—-
    Taste 7/10: I requested and received the vanilla ice cream flavor and thought it was okay. I originally wanted the vanilla to mix in with my oatmeal in the mornings, but I thought it made the oatmeal taste awful; so I only did that once. After that, I just mixed it in water after my workouts and thought it was a little above average for being mostly isolate. It was a pretty light flavor. I would probably opt for the chocolate fudge flavor in the future. Mixability 10/10: This mixed flawlessly. One scoop in water and it immediately started dissolving without even shaking it. Once shaking, it took maybe five quick shakes and it was fully dissolved. No floating chunks or sticking to the sides. Dosing 10/10: This is a protein, so it can basically be used as you see fittingly.
    —-Effectiveness—-
    Aside from the one oatmeal test, I mixed this every other time in water immediately after training. I noticed that it was very easy to drink and light on the stomach. Never gave me any digestion issues. It did not really fill me up, but isolates are not really meant to do so. From a macro standpoint, this is on the higher side as far as protein goes and it still contains low amounts of fat and carbs. My recovery did not decrease in any way while using this, so this was as effective as any other protein as far as recovery is concerned.
    —-Value—-
    I think this protein is priced fairly for the amount of protein and types of protein it contains. On the MyProtein website, this is priced a little bit more than a dollar per serving for the 30 serving tub. However, for the 60 serving tub, this is priced a little less than a dollar per serving. You can find this for $55 for the 60 serving tub on their website. MyProtein also frequently has deep discounts which is what I would recommend looking for if you want to purchase it.
    —-Side Effects—-
    No sides.
    —-Conclusion—-
    I was really happy with this protein. Between the mixing, digestion, and quality I think MyProtein created a strong blended protein. I would definitely recommend looking into this protein, but try out the chocolate fudge flavor. I also hope that MyProtein creates a Stevia flavored The Whey, as I would really prefer that option. Thanks for sending this out!

    Everything you want in a protein, and at a reasonable price.

    —-Introduction—-
    Hey guys. Finally back and ready to get some long overdue reviews. Thanks to MyProtein for sending out a big tub of TheWhey for the TROOPers to try. I have used MyProtein quite a few times in the past and have always enjoyed their products. It’s safe to say that they are a reliable company at this point. TheWhey is their newest protein product. Sorry again for the delay in my review.
    —-Ingredient Profile—-
    Getting right to it, each scoop is 32g in size and contains 25g of protein. For those of us that like to stay low on the carb intake, each scoop of TheWhey contains only 2g of carbs with no sugar. Included in the protein blend are Whey Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate and Whey Protein Hydrolysate. Each scoop contains 5g of BCAA. Two unique ingredients they added are Aminogen and Digezyme. The MyProtein website states the following: “an expertly developed blend of enzymes that break proteins into their amino acids before being digested to form the building blocks of protein within the muscle.” Cool.
    —-Taste/Mixability/Dosing—-
    I received the Cookies and Cream flavor and absolutely loved it. It was not overly sweet or thick, which are two things I can’t stand, and it had bits of dark chocolate cookies in every scoop. Unfortunately, these bits couldn’t help themselves from falling to the bottom almost instantly after missing, but once you got there, they tasted great. Mixability was perfect in a standard shaker cup with the ball. The only residue sometimes left was the bits of cookie. I used TheWhey at many different times, but mostly as a postworkout drink. I mainly used it at one scoop at a time because I liked how it tasted.
    —-Effectiveness—-
    On their website, MyProtein says “Our unique tri-blend is scientifically proven to help build muscle and shape your figure, delivering the ultimate all-day, every-day shake you need to accomplish what you set out to.” Based on my results, I feel this is a very fair statement. I did use it all different times of the day, always finding a time for it to be useful. In terms of digestion, this stuff went down great and stayed down great. No disgusting feeling while drinking it or stomach irritations after. It also did not make me feel disgustingly full afterwards. As hard as it is to gauge effectiveness of a protein powder, I do think it is safe to sat that TheWhey helped me achieve my goals in the gym and throughout the day.
    —-Value—-
    The 60 serving tub, which is what I received, goes for about $54 on the MyProtein website. I checked Amazon but it only found it to be more expensive. I am comfortable paying $.90 per serving of a protein that I know is good quality and made by a reliable company.
    —-Side Effects—-
    None.
    —-Conclusion—-
    Once again, I was way late on this review. I didn’t get it done before I went camping for two weeks up in the sticks with almost no service. Not a responsible move as a TROOPer. With that being said though, I think this is a great protein product and more than likely I will be purchasing some more. I loved the added cookie bits in it and also how light it felt. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to try a new powder. Thanks for reading and thanks to MyProtein for letting us try their products.

    YEHW EHT: It’s THE new WHEY! Myprotein has another.. PROTEIN!

    —-Supplement Facts—- With the use of SR and the Troops I can’t say my purchasing of products has stopped, in fact I believe it is just as much yet rather justified or proven effective purchases. For me the most frequent purchase I make would be from Myprotein, which it typically their Isolate or Aminos with the addition of their protein bars also on occasion. To say the least I am a fan of them, and with good reason as I have purchased + reviewed + seen the labdoor testing proving them to be ahead of the curve on quality and value. With the addition of The Whey, it is something that isn’t necessary new with a whey blend adding some digestive enzymes yet it is a better quality formulation due to the order of ingredients. I loved the Gaspri Myofusion back in the day which was a very “similar” product, and damn if I miss the peanut butter cookie flavor! This isn’t isolate or a typical why blend, which is due to the enyzymes and the flavoring I believe being stepped up a notch from their typical products. We have a low carb and fat profile with 25g of protein and the added digestive enzymes for digestion, bringing us to 78% protein per serving which is a great content vs many of the other products on the market for blended proteins! —-Taste Mixability Dosing—- The flavor I got was chocolate fudge, which was really tastier and improved from their normal flavoring. Most flavors from MyProtein are on the weaker flavoring side but that just means you get more protein for your money, yet this product proved to be the best of both worlds. Mixability was fine, with not issues mixing or foaming up. I simply dosed this based on my dieting needs, which would be smaller than a scoop at time and all the way up to 2 scoops. —-Effectiveness 9/10—- Realistically rating a product such as this really comes down to how well it was utilized in your diet, and how well it was digested (ie no irritable bowels or issues with consumption). I was able to fit this protein product into my daily supplementation to fill in the gaps for my macro needs, or to replace them in relation to convenience. I have added this into my pancake mixture in order to hit my macros for the day, and the flavoring was strong enough to make them taste like chocolate pancakes/waffles. I didn’t have any issues digesting this product, nor did I feel it had any issues with retaining my fullness when utilized in between meals. I found that my recovery when using this product alone was enhanced, but I typically will use a protein powder after the gym regardless and there wasn’t much of a improvement using this product that I could notice on that note. —-Value 8.2/10—- I feel the value of this product is comparable, especially if you buy it right when they have their sales. However, the 4.4lb tub comes to $0.92 a serving which is a bit much to me for the added digestive enzymes. Of course one could argue that the enhanced absoption due to the DE will increase the potency of this product vs a plain isolate or blend. At any rate, my value placed on this product is as is and yet I would purchase it in the future as needed. —-Overall 8.6/10—- I highly recommend Myprotein to everyone I know that asks me what protein powder to use etc, while I may not always go with the Isolate I will always choose MyProtein for their quality and value which is set above all others.

    Sweet tasting and versatile protein for all needs…

    —-Introduction—-
    First I would like to thank MyProtein for sending a 60 serving tub of Thewhey out for review, and the SR TROOP’s for making the connection possible. This is MyProtein’s push to add something need to their already wide selection, and indeed it was a good decision for them to make. A little on the sweeter side, but overall effective and affordable.
    —-Ingredient Profile—-
    Main ingredient is a tri-blend of different whey appropriately mixed to make an awesome protein to consume every scoop. You get 25g’s of protein per serving! This is a good amount without any creatine, taurine, or other extras making it seem higher. Each serving is only around 120 calories making it a good choice for all uses whether it’s for bulking or leaning. Also you receive 5g’s of BCAA per serving, which is about the amount in most BCAA supplements. Coming in with only 2g of carbs and under 2g of fat, Thewhey is definitely a heavy hitter in the protein wars haha On top of all this, you also get digestive assistance to help break this supplement down even more efficiently.
    —-Taste/Mixability/Dosing—-
    Taste was creamy but a bit sweeter than I prefer, but not in a way of it tasting like artificial sweetener either. I received the vanilla ice cream and it was awesome overall. Mixing is perfectly fine in water. milk, AND orange juice (my favorite breakfast shake). No clumping or weird grainy texture. Dosing is what you need protein for throughout the day. Some days I needed only one scoop post workout while others I need 2 or 3.
    —-Effectiveness—-
    Digestion wise this protein broke down efficiently and didn’t cause bloating or the feeling of being gassy. Recovery wise I felt this worked quite nicely compared to other protein powders, which I believe is due to the ingredients they added in to help with breaking the nutrients down. Obviously I can’t say for sure this was the best protein for recovery, but I did feel a bit better while running this tub with reduced muscle soreness and muscles being fueled more efficiently. I will note that taking this before my workout was really nice because most other protein supplements made my stomach a bit upset during the workout and possibly even tooting around the place.
    —-Value—-
    This costed less than a dollar per serving for the $60 serving tub sold on their website for $55. That’s honestly pretty cheap, plus they always have codes to use that take 10% or more off. That’s about 91 cents per serving and it’s a quality, lab tested protein as well I definitely feel the price is affordable and worth paying for.
    —-Side Effects—-
    None
    —-Conclusion—-
    Overall Thewhey is a great addition to their website and I may go back on there and buy a tub when there’s a sale and I need some more protein. Thanks again for sending this out MyProtein!
