    No whey!

  • +13

    Garbage.

    Only use their "100% Whey" powder.

    • elaborate pls? they claim 90% whey, with ~12g of sugar per 100g.. so on par with others
      edit: nvm, saw some comments further down - agreed this is not great

    • 900g, don't we normally see 2kg tubs ?
      Or is this a similar price per kilo to those

  • +1

    Shame Coles had 2kg tubs for $40 a few weeks ago (although quickly OOS unless you ordered early)

    • +2

      Yah they regularly at Chemist Warehouse for $80/2kg but waiting for them to drop to $60/kg again. Wish I was one of the ones that snagged the 4x2kg.

    High Protein

    Yes, this protein is ’high’

    Better off waiting for “100% Whey” 2kg tubs deals ($40) or avoid altogether

  • Apologies, new in this topic. Why 100% whey is better? This one seems have higher protein (30g vs 25g in 100% whey?

    • +4

      Their serving size is 45g, so this is 30g in a 45g serving size. Better to compare how many gms is in 100g serving.

    • +2

      It's only higher protein because the serving size is bigger (45g vs 33g). You end up with less protein per tub.

    • +2

      It’s better to compare the per 100g table. Whey protein isolate normally have around 80% protein + 10% carbs and 3-5% fat. While this one is 67% protein, 14% carbs and 8% fat.

      • +4

        Isolate (wpi) is usually 90%+ protein with only 1-2g of carbs and fat
        Concentrate (WPC) is around 80% protein and 4-5g of carbs and fat.

        These then have even less protein once you add flavours (cocoa) and all the other stuff in the ingredients list.

        • +1

          Understand now, thank you very much to every answer.

    • +1

      This has tonnes of guff filler. If you're buying a protein powder, stuck to whey, with minimal additives (few Ingredients, nice high protein/100g, at least 75g)

  • +1

    $75 RRP. What a ripoff. Even $35 is too much for 900g.
    It was $40 or $50 for 2kg recently

  • So their 100% whey is around $80 for 2kg at CW at the moment , are people saying better to hold off for a special? I'm new to protein powders as only started in the gym recently.

    Is this brotein any good?

      Apparently not, bro.

    13% sugar. Real healthy

      There is nothing inherently bad for you about sugar unless you are diabetic.

      Nobody is overconsuming sugar from protein shakes lmao

      • -2

        That's the funniest crap I've heard n my life 😅😅😅😅😅

        • +2

          Keep believing the substance your body can literally make from almost everything you eat is poison 😅😅😅😅

          Oh noooo your body is producing glucose it must be unhealthy, run & hide from the scaaaary sugar, be afraid of the minuscule 6 grams of sugar in this protein powder it is going to instantly give you diabetes after all. Ignore all information from people with an actual education that state sugar, even refined, has no negative health effects when consumed in moderation…. someone on social media told you to be scared! Its on the internet and was the first thing you saw regarding this, it must be true!

          Let me guess, you also believed fat was unhealthy when that was the boogeyman of the week?

          Tell me what EXACTY is inherently unhealthy about sugar consumed in moderation. Yes refined sugar is empty calories, but 6 grams is MEANINGLESS considering the product it is contained in.

          • -1

            @Vinodra: As always, truth lies somewhere in-between - there are many sugars, some healthier than others (fructose, glucose, sucrose etc.).. and while most people's bodies can convert all of them (some more efficiently than others), big food corporations have been over-stuffing them in almost everything.. especially in the US (in AU we have stricter food standards at least, and the health-star rating, while not perfect and definitely influenced by bribes etc.. definitely does help to give a rough gauge on how much of each thing you should be consuming)
            So limiting the amount by keeping an eye on sugar content is probably a good idea

            • -1

              @Jaspa7: 6 grams in a protein shake isn't hurting anybody that isn't diabetic and sugar (all kinds) is infact fine to eat if you are mindful of what you eat.

              Someone that isn't diabetic eating 2000 calories a day with 200 from refined sugar isn't going to be anymore overweight or unhealthy than someone eating 2000 with 0 refined sugar.

              There is 0 evidence in scientific literature that says even stuff as "extreme" as high fructose corn syrup results in negative health outcomes when calorie intake is otherwise controlled, that's why I said there is nothing inherently bad about it.

              Demonising specidic food ingredients instead of actually educating people about what makes them unhealthy (overconsumption) is why we go through fads of "this specific thing is bad", just in living memory we have had MSG, Fat, Sugar, Refined Carbs and seed oils. Lately the grifters have even been trying to target whey protein of all things.

              All that does is result in people overconsuning something else while assuming they are now healthy because they aren't eating x thing that was terrible and making them unhealthy.

              • -2

                @Vinodra: @Vinodra You may want to read scientific literature regarding sugar. It's more for pleasure and should be limited.

                https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10921393/

                If people call this out for a relatively high sugar content compared to other WPC/WPI why dispute it? Their comparison would be correct if other brands contain less sugar and additives. Hence why this one is going cheap.

                • -1

                  @pma: I have, and what I am saying is there is no negative health affects when consumed in moderation, not that there is no negative health affects when people are overindulge in it, I think I made that quite clear.

                  This is also NOT WPC or WPI and is for people that don't like the taste of those options and is for a completely different customer.

                  100% whey from the same brand is also the same price so I have NO idea where you are getting that last point from. You can not eat sugar and that's fine but there is no reason to spread misinformation about it or misconstrue what I am saying about it, can you provide ANY evidence that a small ammount of sugar is bad for an otherwise healthy person because that is not what that article you linked says. When you factor in that physical activity also differs within that sample size and that even the lowest group is still consuming quite a lot of sugar at 17% of daily calories its findings are complete irrelevant for what I am saying.

                • -2

                  @pma: don't bother mate - he's clearly read every piece of scientific literature on sugar out there.

                  oh wait - must've missed:
                  Dietary Sugar Intake and Incident Type 2 Diabetes Risk (Della Corte et al., 2025)
                  Carbohydrate quality and health: distilling simple truths from complexity (Willett, Walter C et al., 2019)

                  summary:
                  1. Higher sugar intake → worse glycemic control (even if total carbs are equal).
                  Sugar produces higher glycemic and insulinemic responses compared with complex carbohydrates.

                  1. Higher added/free sugar intake → increased long‑term diabetes risk.
                    Systematic review shows dose–response increase in type 2 diabetes risk for added sugars.

                  2. Whole‑food sugars behave differently from added sugars.
                    Sugars in fruit do not show the same adverse association and may even be beneficial.

                  3. Sugar‑sweetened beverages are uniquely harmful.
                    Strongest and most consistent association with diabetes risk, independent of carb quantity.

                  4. Complex carbohydrates provide metabolic advantages at equal carbohydrate levels
                    Lower glycemic index/load → gentler glucose response → lower insulin demand.

                  • -2

                    @Jaspa7: Again I am not claiming that excessive refined sugar intake isn't harmful. I am arguing that refined sugar is not harmful when consumed in moderation.

                    I really don't know why everyone is miscontruing that I am saying that. It doesn't matter how many times you claim that's what im saying, it simply isn't and never was.

                    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23684466/

                    "It would appear to the authors, however, that a reasonable recommended upper limit of sugar may reside at consuming no more than 20% of calories from added sugars and then only in a hypercaloric situation. This recommendation rests largely on our view that the evidence suggests a potential signal for elevated triglycerides at consumption levels greater than 20% of calories in hypercaloric trials. "

                    "Singling out added sugars as major or unique culprits for metabolically based diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease appears inconsistent with modern high quality evidence and is very unlikely to yield health benefits. The reduction of these components of the diet without other reductions seems very unlikely to achieve any meaningful results. "

                    6 damn grams of refined sugar (24 calories worth) in isolation is not harmful, plain and simple. You are deliberately misinterpreting those papers if that is what you think they are saying. The upper safe limit is actually significantly more than that even.

                  • -3

                    @Jaspa7: Not to mention he doesn't realize consuming glucose with whey results in a higher insulin spike. That's cool though it ain't my body so more power to him if he enjoys sugar and all it's negative effects.

                    • -2

                      @pma: There is 0 negative effects of 5.7 grams of refined sugar in an otherwise healthy diet, stop spreading misinformation.

                      If it helps you feel better about yourself to not consume it, im not saying you shouldn't, but it is definitely harmful to spread this sort of misinformation.

                      I don't drink this protein powder or any for that matter as they are all a ripoff as I and really anyone can get all they need from actual food, that doesn't mean I cant call out people spreading bullshit about it though.

                      Protein powders are all really lacking or absent of in some cases fiber, vitamins, and minerals (im not saying it doesnt have some of these, its just not great in comparison especially if its where you get most of your protein) compared to getting the same ammount from a variety of whole foods which is why I don't use it, especially when its so easy to get protein from said whole foods, note I am not spreading misinformation about it just because I don't like it like you are with a minuscule amount of refined sugar though. It has its place just like any calorie source when consumed in a balanced diet.

                      (inb4 you say I am saying protein powder is as bad as refined sugar, which is not what im saying, but I can already tell you'll make the claim I did with how you deliberately ignore 90% of what im saying).

                      • -2

                        @Vinodra: Whey already causes a insulin spike. A simple carb such as sugar will increase that spike.

                        That protein power contains for sugar per 100g/ml than coca cola.

                        Musashi High Protein Powder Chocolate Milkshake 12.6g Sugar Per 100g

                        Coca Cola 10.6g Sugar Per 100g.

                        You could argue with the protein the effects of the spike isn't as bad as coca cola. However that's a lot of added sugar for another brand that uses no added sugars.

                          @pma: Hey, you aren't being honest here. Are you consuming the protein powder dry or mixed? You should compare protein powder dry vs Coca-Cola syrup if you want an equal comparison.

                          5.7g serving of sugar in 300ml of water will make it 1.65% sugar.

                          5.7g serving of sugar in 300ml of whole milk will make it about 6% sugar.

                            @FabMan: Enjoy the cheap sugar tainted whey. At least it's cheap I guess.

                            • -1

                              @pma: I won't be eating it, I'm just correcting your misinformation. 1.65% sugar when mixed with water isn't high. Take 'untainted' whey then mix it with some sugary flavours and you've done the same yourself, or then drink a sugary soft drink later, or eat a sugary snack.

                              • -2

                                @FabMan: Percentages? You're still consuming the same amount of sugar throughout the whole container it doesn't disappear because of dilution.

                                Whey on its own mixed with water tastes fine. Like a light milky flavor. I usually just buy the Aminoz unflavored and it's fine.

                                • -1

                                  @pma: Right, so why compare to Coca-Cola and mention it's % of sugar then if you have a problem with percentages? Moving goalposts.

                                  Yes, 5.6g of sugar per serving, and it's recommended your daily intake of calories shouldn't be more than 6% of your diet or 36g for a man.

                                  Even Whey isolate has some sugar in it too (1.2%), from the milk it is extracted from. So, if you think some sugar is acceptable, where is your personal made up threshold?

                                  I assume you don't smoke, vape, drink alcohol, take any recreational drugs. ever consume anything sugary, that you drink filtered water only, and eat only the finest processed foods while you condemn everyone else for being less than you.
