Whey Protein Review

Kinetica Whey Protein

Amazon Link: Kinetica Whey Protein 2.27KG - Vanilla

Mixing

I always mix my protein in a standard Shaker Cup.  Kinetica whey, along with Syntha 6 have been the most outstanding proteins I have used in my 8 years or so of using supplements. Generally I used one scoop per 250ml of Semi Skimmed milk, and about 20 seconds of violent wrist action later, it was good to go. No lumps, no nasty surprises. After some time I used a heaped scoop, so basically 1.5 regular scoops, and had no complaints.

Taste

This is where this protein really shines. I have tried chocolate, vanilla and even banoffee (the shop had no others available so i took a chance) and each one has been great. The banoffee was even a little addictive.

Sometimes, chugging down 3 shakes a day can get very monotonous, and you may begin to grow resentment to downing it. Not with this stuff! I took on a lot of protein using this, and never once got bored of it.



Cooking

As the price was fairly high in comparison to other proteins online, I didnt feel comfortable using it all up on cooking experiments. A few times I did make chocolate whey pancakes, and even mixed it into a batter with an egg for a chocolate based cake texture dessert thing. It cooked as expected and held the taste very well. No complaints, but I could have experimented further if I could afford it!


Value for Money

Probably the only point here I wasnt too happy with. Compared to ON Whey or other big brands, at £45 per 2.2kilo tub it was around the usual price range. I have found some on Amazon for about £40 now which looks like a good bargain. Before the recent raise in taxes on sports nutrition products its all got a bit more expensive anyway!
