Bulk Barn Protein Powder??
Hi Guys!
Has anyone tried this protein powder? Im having SUCH a hard time with protein powders/shakes....all of the powders I have bought taste terrible and they don't dissolve properly...I'm not kidding that I have about 8 opened bottles of various powders that are all gross! The premade ones I find waaaay too sweet. I was drinking Premier Protein but lately those have become very thick and gloppy/blobby. They are making me gag!
I bought some of the chocolate whey protein isolate last night from the bulk barn...and OMG, it's fantastic! It dissolves well and tastes great. Here are the stats on it: ...remember this is the nutritional info for 100g of powder...you only use 35g per shake:

Any reason not to use this?? I almost feel this is too good to be true! LOL
I used it before surgery and really liked it. I didn't know the nutritional value of it so I was afraid to use it after surgery in case of dumping. Thanks for putting up the link for the nut. info. It is low in calories, protein is good, no sugar or sugar alcohols. Good I'll be getting it out to use again, The info is for 3 servings of powder so I Divided the nut. info by 3 to get the single serving nut. info. I also like their unflavoured protein isolate you can't taste it when you put it in things. Thanks for your post I never even thought to check Bulk Barns site for info.
Wow, this one looks good too....I've sunk soooo much money into powders that I'm afraid to buy more! lol My hubby will have a fit if I throw another bottle away! hahaha I realize now that the bulk barn one seems to be crazy high in fat....which I guess I'm OK with as I am the one who just discovered I am pregnant after the birth control patch failed for me even though I used it religiously. I guess a bit more fat is OK for now.
I do have a Popeye's just down the street from me and I've been thinking about checking them out. Thanks for the suggestion!!
Hi, I was at Costco yesterday to pick up some Protein Powder for after surgery (next week hehehehe) and a costco employee overheard me talking with my sister about paying $48 for 2k of powder only to find out I hate the taste. He came over to us and told me not to think twice about trying it out and if I don't like it....Bring it back (no problem). He says they do it all the time and don't have an issue with it as it is part of their policy. That was really nice to know....so I bought the Kaizen whey isolate powder (40g/150 cal/35grams protein) for $48. It is sweetened with stevia and is vanilla ice cream flavour. It is pretty good. Thanks for the link for the bulk barn one....good to know.

I LIVE off the Unflavored protein powder from the Bulk Barn...it's all I use....except occasionally the chocolate one from the Bulk Barn.
I lean more towards the Unflavored one because it's a smidge higher in protein and I can "flavor" it however I want using Davinci syrups or fruit etc. so I can have different shakes without having to change my powder I have read a LOT of protein powder labels and this one was the best I have found. Plus the added bonus of being able to buy as much or as little as you want is a bonus. I have been using it for 3 1/2 months and love it
I'm going to have to look for the unflavored protien powder at bulk barn. I wonder how it tastes if you add it to soups ect?? I'm picky on the powders too and have wasted tons of money over the years. Either too sweet or powdery tasting. I like the Isoflex brands and can tolerate them the best. Oh, and congrats on the baby.....guess you'll have to change your name to hmtmomof5??
Good luck, Kim
Thee unflavored kind is the only protein powder I bought that I could tolerate.
I usually add berries a bit of milk and a banana and with enough sweetener and lemon juice you can barely taste the horrible horrible protein powder after taste.
I resorted to this one because I can only stand the taste of sweet & low and all of the flavored powders have sucralose in them that I can't stand.
Another benefit is that I could control the amount I got and did not need to buy a gigantic jar that is the size of my entire kitchen
