Aftermath, All in One Whey Protein Isolate Powder, Double Chocolate , 2.1 kg, Packaging May Vary

This review is for the double chocolate flavour. This is a protein powder that I use post workout. Two scoops (it says heaped on the packet, but that is unnecessary. A level scoop is 35g, so 2 level scoops are 70g, no need to heap them.) gives you 40g's of protein, approx 22g's of carbohydrates, as well as 5g of creatine, with the remainder being made up from other nutrients. It's hard to say if its had an advantage over ordinary protein powders. As I take a mixture of the two, singling one out as 'better' is difficult, however I shall persevere and report back. The double chocolate flavour is nice. Very chocolatey. Do not be put off with the smell from the open bag. It does smell rather unpleasant, but tastes great. No idea why that is. It does mix very well. In a metal ball shaker cup, I find it mixes much smoother and quicker than my complete protein blend. This is one of bulk powders 'Informed sports' supplements, that means it is certified free from any banned substances. Not something that would ever affect me, but it could be relevant to you, if you're competing at a high level. I purchased in July 2020. The best before date is June 2023. Overall, I'm pleased with this post workout supplement Price wise, it's very close to a normal protein powder. It tastes good, mixes well and is easily digested. I can't honestly say it has improved my gains compared with a standard powder, but it's still early days yet. I hope you found this review helpful.

This is the best all-in-one protein supplement money can buy! Great taste, clean mix and incredible results. A must have for anyone looking to add lean muscle mass!

There are essentially two kinds of protein powder supplements. The single ingredient protein (e.g. whey) and the 'all your supplements in one' kind. Bulk Powders Aftermath fits in the latter category despite not being as 'complete' as some other brands in terms of what is included. What you get in the bag (and yes, it is always a bag with Bulk Powders) for Aftermath is a mixture of protein powders, some carbohydrate powder, glutamine powder, creatine powder, and HMB powder. And to round it all off you get whatever flavour you chose and some sucralose to sweeten it all. The directions for mixing are to use two scoops which should yield 40 grams of protein, and 5 grams of creatine (on average) when mixed with water. So the first thing to pay attention to is the creatine. You don't need more than 5 grams a day, so you definitely won't want to be drinking more than one of these shakes per day. And if you are not used to taking creatine you should be careful with it. Some people can get digestive problems from jumping straight to 5 grams per day, so if you are in any way concerned you might want to take a single scoop to yield 2.5 grams (average) of creatine for the first few days to ease your way in. I went for the double chocolate flavour. And it really is double chocolate. A bit like drinking a chocolate cake, but one made with sucralose instead of sugar. I find the taste to be almost overpowering but I can get through it. If I buy another bag when I finish this one I won't pick double chocolate again. The powder mixes okay, but not perfectly. There is always something left in the water than does not dissolve. That may be specific to the double chocolate flavour since it includes cocoa powder as part of the flavouring. I could try mixing some with hot milk to see how well it dissolves as a cocoa drink but I am not that dedicated to experimenting for my Amazon reviews! Regardless of the small amount that does not dissolve it is still perfectly fine overall in terms of the texture in the mouth, and thus goes down perfectly well. It is quite hard to determine how effective any particular brand of 'all in one' type powder is in terms of contributing to strength or muscle gains. Not least because any gains may essentially boil down to the increase in calories from adding the shake to your diet. You also have to weight up the pros and cons of taking everything together vs taking individualised amounts of the various ingredients on your own schedule. I find these 'all in one' type powders are best used as a jumping off point for your own personal experimentation. Some will be happy to take everything included in one go for convenience, whereas others may prefer to split say their glutamine intake from their creatine and so on. The good news is that if or when you want to go down that more specific personalised route you will be able to get all the ingredients in Aftermath as individual bags from Bulk Powders if you so choose. The bad news is that it will cost more to buy it all that way.

Excellent all in one protein! No bloating like other powders can, tastes really good, and has the perfect combination of creatine, carbs and protein 👍

Optimum Nutrition stuff tastes much better.

Absolutely the best. Cannot doubt it at all. Reasonable price and feels good straight after training and don't feel bloated as well. I have tried many post workout and this is the best so far

Just received my order and already pleased. Mixes up early easily and tastes great, will definitely be reordering when it runs out.

Excellent product, does what you need if you put in the work

Geschmack, Löslichkeit und Wirkung top. Einzig der Preis tut weh :-)

Ich habe jetzt auch schon einiges an Protein Shakes probiert, dieser hier ist aber mein absoluter Favorit! Geschmacklich top und die Inhaltsstoffe sind auch super. Kein lästiges zusammenmixen mehr, alles drin was man so braucht!

Das Pulver wurde pünktlich geliefert und war sicher verpackt. Das Pulver befindet sich in einem ZipLock-Beutel. Ein Löffel für gestrichen etwa 30 Gramm, gehäuft etwa 35 Gramm, wurde mitgeliefert. Dann mal der Reihe nach: - Beutel geöffnet. Der Geruch ist einladend, geht in die Richtung Brownie, Marmorkuchen oder Teig von Schokoladenkuchen vorm Backen. Die Konsistenz des Pulvers ist fein und gleichmäßig. Die Wasserlöslichkeit hervorragend. - Der Geschmack ist widerlich süß. Bei Doppel-Schoko habe ich etwas kräftiges und herbes erwartet, zumal das Pulver auch vom Geruch her in die Richtung ging. Das Aroma war dem Geruch entsprechend super. Aber obwohl kaum Zucker drin ist, hatte ich das Gefühl, dass mir nach dem Trinken die Zähne fehlen würden. Das Trinken hat ein gewisses Maß an Selbstüberwindung erfordert. Wenn man mit Wasser nachspült und einen Kaugummi kaut, dann geht es. - Der Shake sättigt eine Stunde lang ziemlich, also lieber nach dem Essen konsumieren. - Ich hatte keine Probleme mit der Verträglichkeit, auch nicht nach einer Woche. Persönliche merkte ich auch schon nach wenigen Portionen eine Wirkung. Mehr Wiederholungen und mehr Gewicht pro Wiederholung. Auch die Waage zeigt im Mittel eine Steigerung um knapp unter 1kg pro Woche. - Den Shake hatte ich als Sonderangebot entdeckt: €10,99 für 2,1kg. Da konnte ich nicht Nein sagen. Ich werde das Produkt auch weiterhin verwenden. Nächstes Mal probiere ich dann aber Erdbeere, in der Hoffnung, dass der Shake weniger süß ist und hoffe, dass der Hersteller diese Rezension liest und etwas weniger Süßungsmittel verwendet.

Absolute Kaufempfehlung
