Impact Whey Sample Pack

Hi there, I`m a female ultramarathon runner and started using whey about 18 months ago, mainly because I don`t eat meat and struggle to get enough protein. I usually have a shake between training and shower, before or with food. Pretty happy with the results, I gained a little muscle but no body weight, and I never had GI problems from it. No idea if it`s the protein or training but I got some PB`s and medals. The MP products are easy to use, rather cheap, taste ok and mix well. Had big bags of chocolate brownie (great!) and chocolate nut (good, but tastes like hazelnut) that I usually mix 2:1 with flavourless whey because they are quite sweet. Had samples of cappuccino and cinnamon danish but I found them way too sweet so I decided to get this sample pack to look for something new. I mix a 25 g pack with some unflavoured protein and half (almond) milk and water. Didn`t think I`d like the fruity ones, but I got surprised. I LOVE the raspberry and vanilla, it`s like a good raspberry yogurt. Pure raspberry, strawberry and the blueberry cheesecake are nice too, not too artificial in taste. Salted caramel is drinkable but mainly sweet, if I had tasted it blindly I might have said it`s vanilla. Vanilla is... vanilla. Sweet. Can imagine it`s quite nice when mixed with some fresh berries. Banana is absolutely disgusting, I couldn`t even get it down after I blended a big handful of blueberries into it. If you want a nice banana shake, try this: a fresh or frozen banana, a big scoop of unflavoured whey, half a scoop of chocolate brownie or chocolate, water or almond milk. In winter with some cinnamon, in summer with ice cubes. It`s heaven.

Water is ok, milk is too creamy for my taste. I usually take half/half water and unsweetened almond milk.

Its a great idea to buy a sample box if you're not sure what flavour of protein you want to go on to and buy next or even just to have a taste and try of some of the different flavours that Myprotein has to offer. I've only tried a few at this point, but all of them are very nice with the natural chocolate being the nicest one yet. One thing I would say that would be nice though would be if there was a few different boxes with some of the other flavour samples in it so that you could try even more of the different flavours that Myprotein have to offer. It is worth the purchase though as it does give a good range of flavours.

Very good taste, mixes easily with either water or milk, the only real downside being so many repeated or similar flavours, with 2 of each flavour - (eg. two Natural Vanilla, and two Vanilla) If you want this to try a bunch of flavours, this might not be quite the one for you as at least for me it mostly consisted of the standard flavours (Chocolate, Banana, Strawberry, and Vanilla) with a few others (Blueberry Cheesecake, Strawberry Roly Poly, Apple Crumble & Custard, and Chocolate Brownie). In fact, it would be quite cool if MyProtein split the samples... Standard, Fruity, Chocolate, Dessert and Mixed sample boxes perhaps?

Water or Milk

I have purchased this product multiple times as the mix of flavours has always been great. All of which are delicious with my morning oats. During the birthday sale I decided to buy 3 in one order, unfortunately they haven't given all the flavours as advertised. They have duplicated certain flavours e.g. natural strawberry x4 and left out others (mostly the chocolate flavours). A little disappointing but still a great option for variety in general, just go back to having all flavours as advertised.
Goes Well With:
Water, milk, smoothies, definitely oats

I was able to sample a wide selection of flavours of the protein before committing to an entire kg of one flavour. My favourites were the pecan pie, banana, and strawberry rolie polie. Will now be buying a kg bag of each.

Milk

Due to the disappearance of ‘Stroopwafel’ when ordering, I have had to branch out and try some new flavours. Therefore I thought this box would be ideal. I had never tried chocolate flavours until now but I am really impressed with the Natural Chocolate and Chocolate Banana. You could be drinking a real full fat milkshake with these and not know the difference - heavenly! I would say these were my favourite flavours in the whole pack. Blueberry cheesecake was IMO a bit too sickly. I mixed it with porridge oats as this is normally my go to for breakfast to find they went a baby pink colour when mixed. I paired it with frozen berries and banana and it tasted more like an over sweetened yoghurt than anything. May be okay for some who mix with natural yoghurt to make sweeter but not for me, unfortunately.  Also found the same issue with Jam Roly Poly.  Happy to see the Cinnamon Danish in there. I had this as a smoothie with Greek yoghurt, banana and almond milk and it was lovely.  In terms of mixability, Sticky Toffee Pudding wins hands down in this pack for me. Even with just water, it gives oats such a creamy consistency that I’ve never seen with any other flavour or powder. I would definitely order this in a bigger pack.  Cookies and Cream - worst mixability for porridge. I thought I’d incorrectly timed the adding of the powder to the oats or should have used water instead of almond milk as the consistency was very grainy. However, I tried again the next day with water and found the same issue.  Overall - the box is great for beginners who need to distinguish a firm favourite before branching out on a big bag but I do agree strongly with a previous reviewer who suggests being able to order boxes based on categories such as ‘Chocolate, Fruity’ etc.. as I now know I won’t reorder one of these boxes knowing I’ll get the flavours I don’t like. I also think it would be nice to have more flavours instead of doubling up on most as if you find one you don’t like, the other becomes a bit redundant.

Almond Milk/Water

I’m glad I bought this because otherwise I never would have tried the blueberry cheesecake flavour which is 😍🔥👌🏼
Goes Well With:
200ml of almond milk

The selects offer you choice every time you reach for your protein shake. It was surprising to enjoy some of the flavours on offer, would highly recommend!

Love this selection box, gives you a chance to sample various flavours without needing to buy a big bag first.

I love this box, I mix my protein with my porridge in the morning and ordered this in order to try new flavours without having to buy a full bag. Since I'm having it every morning though I may carry on ordering a box now and again to mix it up and not get bored! Absolutely loved the apple pie and custard flavour and pecan pie flavour is to die for 
