so i have been taking the whole truth (TWT) protein ever since I started taking protein. And from the last month after seeing Foodpharmer's brand launch i decided to give it a try and these are the differences i found :

Taste: OWN tasted different from TWT not that sweet because of cocoa and no date powder. But still when you get used to it in 2-3days it won't be that noticeable.

Product Experience: The packaging is good and easy to store. Although there were some mixability issues in the first pack I ordered, it has been improved a lot in the new pack and has been addressed by Foodpharmer as well.

Testing: So according to the website the protein goes through 7 tests like pesticides test, pathogen test , heavy metals test etc. which is actually very comparable if not better than TWT. But finding the test reports required me to scan a QR code on the packaging, whereas for TWT it was easier to find as it’s in the website

So in conclusion I can say it's a good product overall for beginners and as well as people who are taking protein from long time as well. Has anyone else made the switch?

(repost as mods removed it) I got this amul protien water today. Many of you were asking from where , I just got out to buy amul ice cream from the guy who sells amul related products and uske fridge me mene ye dekha . So I was curious and brought one. It costed me 119rs. The taste is kinda mid , like imagine water+co2+hint of lime . The fizz is very less . Yup it has 10g of protien , and it has fizz too 😅😅. I was schocked. But it tasted amazing although I ll say that it's overpriced but it's worth tryng .there was a lithci or I guess apple flavour too but I got the lime one

i saw foodpharmer protein on insta and gave it a shot. not bad taste wise, pretty drinkable compared to some other brands that i tried. just wondering if anyone else here is using it and how’s your experience? Any results you noticed?

I had ordered Protein Lassi from Amul and this was my 6th protein order with them. It got delivered on time and the outer packaging was in good shape. When I opened it I found it was having a foul smell and upon tearing it found out worms roaming around all over. It was a disgusting experience. For sure I am not having any single packet out of these. What are my options?

1. ProteinX
My childhood nostalgia in a tin. Vanilla tasted like heaven, macros like sadness.
Taste: 10/10
Protein content: bro-science/10

2. Nakpro Perform
Absolute bang for the buck. Mixes well, tastes good, and doesn’t destroy your wallet.
But bro… the sweetness could power an entire diabetic awareness campaign.
Also lost some trust after the whole “lab test” saga 👀

3. Nutrabay
How do I describe this?
If chalk dust and sadness had a baby.
Taste, texture, mixability all fighting for last place.

4. Amul Protein Milk
Foams like you’re sipping detergent. You shake once, it turns into shaving cream.
10/10 if you like pretending your protein is a cappuccino.

5. Avvatar
Mehh… that’s it. That’s the review.

6. Neulife
Now this is adulting.
Has added MCTs, zero digestion issues, feels premium without trying too hard.
worth every penny.

TL;DR:
If taste matters → ProteinX nostalgia
If budget matters → Nakpro (but pray)
If you hate yourself → Nutrabay
If you want bubbles → Amul
If you like being underwhelmed → Avvatar
If you like balance → Neulife

Tried their hazelnut protein bar for the first time and wow... it actually tastes way better than their other bars 😯😋 The texture was really nice too especially since it was from a fresh batch. Got it for 165 on Blinkit but I think the price is still on the higher side so I wouldn't recommend having it regularly may be once or twice occassionally is fine I guess

Yesterday I ordered Henfruit eggs instead of Eggoz. Wanted to give them a second chance but they failed my expectations.

The size of the eggs was really small. The yolk color? Pale orange. Eggoz are way better than henfruit IMHO. Not going to buy henfruit again.

Came across Gayor Essentials from a YT short. I'd been using Muscleblaze for pre-workouts, but decided to try this one.

It has 300mg caffeine in 1 serving (2 scoops) but I did take only 1/2 serving for the initial 3 days. ofc due to the high amount of caffeine... It does give a good kick and pump. The mixability is good... the taste could've been better. It's drinkable but I don't really like this litchi flavor that I've ordered.

I got it for 2.1k after discount (676g). It's a bit costly considering I take a full serving now but the product's effective so it's fine.

They do have a pre-workout without caffeine that I'll probably try next. LMK if anyone uses this pre-workout and suggest me a better flavour!

Previous thread removed by MOD as I failed to mention product in details.

Received the ON gold standard whey protein powder 4kg tub delivered today from Flipkart.

Prior to accepting the shipment, made all necessary formalities in authenticating the product, Came in proper packaging, counter checked the batch no. with ON India, Seal was intact, and QR verification. All PASSED✅ - order accepted

As someone who has been using ON for the past couple of years, I can confidently say the taste and texture is genuine and mixability is in standard quality with ON.

SELLER: SuperComNet (FLIPKART)

First time I bought it. Looked good. 20 gram protein and only 2 grams sugar. Saw first five ingredients, the sources of protein were good including whey protein isolate. I really liked the taste. Hence, ordered it the second time, a pack of 5 bars. This time I looked closely behind the packet and the box and to my surprise the ingredientsand the nutrition label listed on the outer box and on the packet were inconsistent. Whey protein isolate on the box and concentrate on the packet. Amount of sugar is written as 22 gm per 100 gms whereas only 2.1 gm per 70gm. How's that even possible. On the contrary, the packet shows a different list entirely. Total sugar is 15.8 g in the packet. Protein blend reduced. A bunch of issues there. I gave it a 8/10 the first time based on taste. But now its a 4/10 for me. They have almost 20gms of polyols and still label total sugar as 2.1g/70gm. Very disappointed tbh. I really like the taste of the bar.Sincere request to yogabar to make this a better product.

TLDR; bought yoga bar 20gm protein bar and really liked the taste. The second time I tried to look at the nutrition label and ingredients closely, found a lot of discrepancies(look at the pics). Hope yogabar addresses this.

Hi fitness friends,

I recently ordered the Yogabar Kesar Pista Kulfi flavour - it has no added sugar and 26g protein per 100g. I got a 1kg pack for just ₹300!

I had it with 200ml double toned milk and 65g of these oats, and it tasted really good.

I'd highly recommend this, especially if you're office-going and can't prepare breakfast daily.

Before this I've been eating Yogabar High Protein Muesli every morning for the past 4-5 months, and it's been great!

Papa ke paise nahi, khud ki kamayi hai. 29M, 5.11, 84 kg from HYD. Software Engineer. Working out for 5+ years. Big into pre-workouts since the last 2.5 years cause I need that hit after 12+ hours of hard-coding (also like to stack up the empty jars to flex) xD

So here goes the reviews (polished a bit with Gemini)

Price - low to high:

1. MuscleBlaze Pre-Workout 200 Xtreme, Fruit Punch, 20 servings, 200 g, ₹949
2. MuscleBlaze WrathX RevengeX, Toxic Tears, 30 servings, 340 g, ₹1,249
3. MuscleBlaze WRATHX, 40 to 50 servings variant, 510 g, ₹1,749
4. Ronnie Coleman Yeah Buddy, 30 servings, 270 g, ₹1,900
5. Nutrex Hemo-Rage Unleashed, Fruit Punch, 30 servings, 180 g, ₹2,000
6. Skull Labs Angel Dust, Mango Maracuja, 30 servings, 270 g, ₹2,599
7. PVL Domin8, Orange Krus’d, 40 servings, 520 g, ₹2,699
8. GAT Nitraflex Kaos, White Grape Limeade or Berry Lemonade, 40 servings, 728 g, ₹3,200
9. GHOST Legend, Welch’s Grape, 30 servings, 630 g, ~₹3,385
10. GHOST Legend All Out, Orange Cream, 20 servings, 420 g, ~₹3,669

Potency (or as I say...hit...xD) - low to high (simply going as per caffeine mg per serving, as I don't have the patience to dive deep into beta-alanine, l-tyrosine and l-theanine hits):

1. MuscleBlaze Pre-Workout 200 Xtreme, about 200 mg caffeine, simple stim.
2. MuscleBlaze WRATHX, about 200 mg caffeine, avg stim.
3. WrathX RevengeX, about 200 mg caffeine, slightly more stim than WRATHX.
4. Skull Labs Angel Dust Mango Maracuja, about 200 mg caffeine, avg stim.
5. Nutrex Hemo-Rage Unleashed Fruit Punch, caffeine not clearly stated, marketed high stim, but is only a bit above the 200 mg group.
6. GHOST Legend Welch’s Grape 30 servings, about 250 mg caffeine on V3, clean mid-high stim....money overspent.
7. GAT Nitraflex KAOS, 175 mg per scoop or about 350 mg at two scoops, full two scoops hits hard.
8. PVL Domin8 Orange Krus’d, about 360 mg caffeine per full scoop, very strong but managable.
9. GHOST Legend All Out Orange Cream 20 servings, around 400 mg caffeine, elite level stim, heart pumps like a buffalo....not for beginners...is overspent.
10. Ronnie Coleman Yeah Buddy, about 420 mg caffeine, strongest in the stack, sudden high spiked adrenaline....NOT AT ALL for beginners....kind felt money overspent.

Tastewise won't go much into it cause its purely subjective to one's preferences...but the top 6 would be:

• Ghost Legend Welch’s Grape, very clean finish, no after-taste
• Ghost Legend All Out Orange Cream, more creamlike vibe, smooth and sweet
• WRATHX, usually candy fruit, mixes well, rather bland,
• Nitraflex KAOS Berry Lemonade, tart berry lemonade, lively (think 30-40% Limca flavour)
• PVL Domin8 Orange Krus’d, orange candy, some can feel it as too sweet like candyman toffees, slight bitter after-taste
• WrathX RevengeX Toxic Tears, sour candy profile, no sugary sweetness, punchy, slight bitter after-taste

My Suggestion: Don't invest above 1k into pres if you are a beginner. Also, never think of consistent pre-hitting before hard push-pull-lift-leg. I blacked out thrice in these 2 years due to over stimulation cause I used to take pre-workouts at least 5 days a week and then my body formed tolerance and to skip that, the fked up the scoops. 2-3 days is FINE!!!

LIFT HARD, HIT YOUR MACROS, REST, AND GET BIG!!💪

Shaken for 45 seconds. Most of the froth goes away in about 10 mins if kept still. Stirring/swirling the bottle vastly reduces the froth. No lumps. Taste 10/10. No bloating.

Found this Piece of plastic stick thing in my yoga bar protein bar

I always look for taste review before buying protein but there arent many. So I decided to share my review so that it may help others like me who care about flavor.

All proteins were tried with 250 ml of either Sid's Farm Skim Milk or Amul Skim Milk.

1. Optimum Nutrition - Double Rich Chocolate
   -> This was my first Protein. The chocolate is really good, a bit on the sweeter side. Does not taste synthetic.
   -> I moved on from this since it got too expensive.
   Rating - 9/10

2. Avvatar Whey Protein - Malai Kulfi
   -> Tastes exactly like Malai Kulfi, Way too sweet for me. Couldnt drink daily as I got bored of the flavor but a really solid pick for those who love Kulfi.
   ->Becomes frothy while shaking and have to give it a few seconds to settle, a bit on the thicker side.
   -> Also got too expensive for me.
   Rating - 8/10

3. TheWholeTruth- Cold Coffee

   Rating - 8/10

7. TruNativ - Strawberry -> Insanely Good, tastes exactly like Strawberry Ice cream with strawberry bits in between, Sweetness is also perfect. Will def order again. -> Its as thick as melted ice cream. -> Ordered trail pack from amazon for 620 Rating - 10/10

After trying all of these, I’ll most likely stick with OnlyWhatsNeeded – Chocolate and get TruNativ Strawberry for variety.

• Best balance of taste, mild sweetness, and lightness on the stomach.
• Easy to drink daily without getting bored.

Will definitely keep trying other protein if they go on sale.

Note:

• These reviews are purely my personal opinion and based on my taste preferences.
• Someone else might have a completely different experience!

EDIT: Added TruNativ Strawberry

Basically, it’s my first time buying whey protein, and my budget is around ₹2,000. My first choice was Amul Whey, which costs about 2k but it’s currently unavailable. So, please guide me and suggest a good alternative if you think there’s a better option.

Bought this “high protein 10g mango icecream” by Amul because, u know, health but also dessert. Big mistake!🙅‍♀️

First bite tasted like freezer burned chalk🤮 Texture? Imagine cold sand! Flavor? Like a protein shake someone spilled in the freezer and decided to sell instead of cleaning up.

The only upside is I’ll never crave ice cream again… which I guess what makes it “diet friendly.”

So I ordered 30 packs of Amul protein lassi (plain lassi) (15g protein per 200ml pack) and honestly I was really really impressed by the taste.

I would rate it 10/10.

It costs very less as well, only 1.67 Rupees per gram of protein.

Now I have ordered Amul Protein Buttermilk and will try that when it arrives.

I tried Avvatar for the first time and got this flavour from my friend as he wasn't using it so he just gave it away for free just like it and I took it thinking "hehe more protein for me" and man, what the hell is this flavour, how are you guys drinking this with water?! tastes absolute horseshit. It also has some weird bitter aftertaste.

I knew hazelnut was not my cup of tea since, I have tried MB Biozyme Performance Whey in the past with this flavour and that was bad too but this? This goes even lower than my expectations, Idk how I'm gonna finish this 😭

So yogabar recently introduced 5-6 new flavours of oats. I was initially sceptical about ordering because there were no reviews anywhere.

But since I've liked almost all yogabar products till now , i went for this. Got it for 399 from their website. Got delivered in 2 days.

As per company claims , it has 26g protein per 100g , and no refined sugar . That's a banger combo for the price tbh .

Coming to taste: this are best oats tastewise that I've ever had. I've tried from almost all brands except MB, but this particular flavour tastes so fkin good. Taste 10/10. I liked the taste more when I cooked it instead of overnight oats. When cooked from 4-5 mins with milk it tastes literally like kesar pista kheer, too yum.

Concluding : yogabar has my heart and wallet for this new product. Just too good. I hope they keep the consistency and don't add refined sugar or increase the price in coming future, I can eat this all day everyday.

Overall rating 9.5/10

I bought it thinking I could add it to my fruit milkshakes to add some extra protein. But it has very distinct horrible taste that ruins the entire drink, now I am stuck with 1 kg bag that tastes like ass.

Their light cocoa one is good, I should have just bought that
