After several months buying my whey protein exclusively from MyProtein I’ve recently decided I needed something that tastes nicer. So I’ve gotten hold of some Boditronics Express Whey. I opted for their Cookies ‘n’ Cream flavour but they also offer the following flavours:
- Strawberry
- Rich Chocolate
- Chocolate Mint
- Vanilla
- Caramel Peanut
- Strawberries & Cream
- Vanilla Ice Cream
- Banana Split
- Dark Chocolate Orange
- Black Cherry
- Raspberry Ripple
I wasn’t sure if I’d like the flavour, but I was keen to try something different. In actual fact I think it’s delicious - by far the nicest protein shake I’ve ever had!
The nutritional breakdown is pretty good:
Nutritional Breakdown per 100g (42g serving)
Protein 73g ( 31g )
Fat 8g ( 3g )
Carbohydrates 14g ( 4.9g )
Sodium 14mg ( 4.2mg )
Calcium 23mg (6.9mg )
Phosphorous 19mg ( 5.7mg )
Zinc 24mg ( 7.2 mg )
Energy 454 K calories ( 190 Kcal )
Not as high a protein level as unflavoured whey protein concentrate (typically 80%) or whey protein isolate (typilcally 90%) but more than enough.
Despite being sold as whey protein it also includes micellar casein although I’ve no idea how much. For those that care the first three ingredients listed are whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate and micellar casein which indicates that the bulk of it is whey protein.
Overall verdict? I’ll be buying Boditronics Express Whey again!
