Protein Shake Reviews

Our main aim here is to try and give a review to all of the major Whey Protein Powders that are avaliable to you. It is a little subjective, as it is difficult to measure the results of each correctly. We have however split the judging system down in to the catagories below to give you more of an idea as to the merrits and failures of each. The tests were all done in a uniform way, and mixed with water.

When we review the Protein Shakes, we will take the following in to consideration:

Quality: The quality of the product to supply, in our oppinion, the best quality protein and product. This will take into consideration type of protein, and the amount of carbs and fats.
Mixing: How well / easily the product mixes.
Taste: Does it taste like the flavour it is supposed to? Is it too / not sweet enough, any chemical or nasty aftertastes?
Overall: The overall rating, based on all the previous factors.
