PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Lean Protein Powder, 1 kg

I've only tried this product for 2 days so far but it is quick and easy to prepare using a shake bottle and is really filling, it is a bit sweet but if you add slightly more water than it suggests its still thick and less sweet. I haven't needed to add milk and it's still thick and filling enough for me so I'm cutting out calories I would need for other shakes which require mixing with milk. I'm aiming to lose half a stone and already have a balanced diet and exercise plan in place; I'm using this to help when I feel hungry and so far it seems to be working. It does stress on the packaging that this is not a replacement for a healthy diet and I agree, but it seems to have helped with my energy levels when I drink it before I am at the gym and has certainly done me no harm whatsoever, so I think personally that it's worth a try if you want help with weight loss, compared to the more expensive shakes available which I have looked at before I chose this one.

Best protein powder I’ve used. Tried others but taste is not great. Creamy and real vanilla taste. Need to mix with blender or electric whisk as lumps if mixing with a protein shake mixer or hand whisk.

At roughly 100 cals a scoop, you can’t go wrong. I’ve used PHD off and on for the past 7 years, tried multiple flavours and vanilla is hands down the best. Its levelled up my 3 ingredient pancakes, smoothie bowls and homemade protein granola. I personally don’t like it mixed with water on it’s own, but have added it to collagen powder to mask the bovine or marine taste. It also works when the store bought bone broth jelly is too salty. My workout routine consists of low impact, mobility and body weight training. Pros and cons experienced using this powder below: Benefits 1. Longer hair growth, stronger nails in conjunction with 30 mins of cardio 3-5x a week. 2. Leaner, even if I go crazy on sweet treats over the holidays, any body fat % increase, comes off once I return back to my routine. 3. Fuller for longer, temporarily satiates snack / junk cravings for a day or two. 4. Doesn’t bloat or make me as gassy as other vegan or whey proteins. 5. Dark circles and sunken eyes are less pronounced when taken with collagen. Weird side effect. But not mad at it. 6. Keeps me regular. 7. Kills post workout fatigue, especially if you prefer fasted workouts. Negatives 1. It’s a lil grainy. To solve this I sift it as I decant it into an air tight sealed glass jar. 2. Freshness: The packaging makes it easy to unintentionally not seal the bag properly. I decant roughly 18 servings worth into an air tight jar so I don’t need to into the bag every day. 3. Acne: If I don’t drink more than 2 litres of water after drinking I get tiny bumps on cheeks, chin, and back, this doesn’t apply to protein pancakes or anything heated. 4. Scoop: I wish the handle was longer. I use a different scoop that clips onto the jar I keep it in. I’ve given this 5 stars for convenience and price over the years. That being I’ve paid more for better, this is an affordable alternative for when my fave is sold out.

Easy to mix with shaker. Good quality. Tasty.

I've only just started using protein shakes and was recommended the PhD products by some of the people I train with and I have to say I'm very impressed. I haven't tried drinking the shakes with water, I opted for semi skimmed milk for the start and reading other views I'm glad I did! Although it recommends using a full scoop and 175ml of water or milk I increased the amount of milk to 300ml as the shake is incredibly thick!! Vanilla - definitely my favourite of all three I've bought and incredibly tasty. Strawberry - very nice flavour, a close run thing with the vanilla Chocolate Orange - My least favourite of the three I've purchased so far. Although there is a hint of both flavours I found the drink quite bland. Although not a product I'd buy again it is easy to drink and not at all unpleasant. The shakes definitely curb your hunger and if you do use it to keep hunger at bay then they will help. I don't like breakfast during the week so I've started taking a drink in the morning and another one after training to help the protein do its magic on the aching muscles. Doing it this way I've definitely not had any after effects the next day after a long session. Super stuff.

It's ok. Doesn't mix well at all so knocked some stars off but taste is good and good macros. Slightly chalky but not much. I mix it with an immersion blender and blend in ice. Works well

I've tried other brands of protein shakes but they made me bulk up rather than lose weight even as a meal replacement. Having just had a c-section and not being able to workout for 12 weeks I decided to try protein shakes again as I have stopped breastfeeding and needed to get back to lower than my pre-pregnancy weight. The results have been amazing in only 3 weeks I have lost 4kg by using the vanilla protein shake (2 scoops with water) as a breakfast replacement or 1 scoop and some fruits for breakfast. I also use myfitnesspal and a calorie restriction of 1200 calories a day alongside walking an hour a day. They keep me satisfied until lunch time. I have only tried the vanilla and it tastes great now I am mixing it with water. My first shake I mixed with almond milk and it had a bitter after taste which is no longer noticeable with water. Using these shakes was going to be a temporary weight loss aid but the results are so good I have just purchased two more (vanilla and banana) and will continue to use them as I increase my exercise to include more cardio including HITT.

Not bad tasting

This was a massive disappointment, i had the old product of this, it was 25g scoops that gives you 20 g protein and 1 g carbs , the new IMPROVED powder is 32g scoops with only 20 g protein and 3.5g carbs !

On the tube, it says that one scoop (scoop comes included inside the tube) equals 25 grams of the product. However, as I discovered, this is not accurate as the scoop itself weighs 7 grams and a scoop full with the product weighs 37 grams, so that means that one scoop full with the product contains 30 grams and not 25 grams as it is erroneously stated on the tube. This is probably not that important for the casual user, but if you are serious with your nutrition and on a cutting phase and you are calculating everything on an excel spreadsheet, this error in dosage could mean that you could be getting 30 grams more of the product (abt 105 calories) per day than you had originally calculated if you are like me and you eat around 6 scoops of the product per day. This is even more important if you are female and on a cutting phase, as females have got less leeway in calories than males do, so be careful.

My favourite protein powder

not the same as the one i usually order. Thought it was but this one is not gluten free, grass fed etc.

Buon rapporto qualità prezzo, purtroppo il gusto è molto lieve e non si sente molto la vaniglia. Ho provato altri gusti di questa marca e li ho trovati migliori. La busta è resistente e c'è molto prodotto all'interno, consiglio questa quantità a chi si allena giornalmente, per evitare che scada prima di averlo consumato tutto.
