PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Lean Protein Powder, Belgian Chocolate, 1 Kg, Bag, Vegetarian

I really love this diet whey protein powder. I have been using this brand for 1 month and have only tried the Belgian chocolate flavour which is always my go to flavour, and this has such a great taste but I'm braving it today and have ordered the strawberry. When I was a kid there was a dessert called angel delight which was a powder you whisked with milk and chilled in the fridge and it was a thick pudding and the taste of this shake reminds me of that. It really satisfies my sweet tooth. My advice tips to make this shake its best is start with a good shaker bottle as it makes all the difference. There are a load of shakers but after trying 4 different styles the one to to find is with a sieve thing (it's really a 1/2 centimeter square grid pattern) and it justs clicks in the top (about an inch down the open lip of the cup) I have a very 'cute 700ml black colour shaker (I don't mind it's not clear) and it has a dome lid so it has plenty of room above and below the sieve to shake (hence the 700ml size). It's so so much better than a small shaker and I won't get started on shakers with the ball as they never fully get rid of lumps. I shake it for 90 seconds as not only does it mix it really well it helps dissolve the powder so it is never unmixed and will never leave you with a powdery aftertaste, which for me shows its a bad mixer and not because the powder won't mix properly. I know using a blender will give a great smooth texture but I am rarely near one for day to day use. This powder is also great made into a smoothy with a few berries etc and what's perfect for me is you don't have to use a banana as the smoothy base as the powder has a thickener. The chocolate flavour is so good that it covers the taste of the extra milled flaxseed I add to my shake. At the moment I use this shake mainly for breakfast so I choose to have the 350ml size and use 50% lactose free SS milk and 50% water - I love mine very cold and I drink it within about 10 minutes of it being made so it stays really cold. I think my 50/50 mix gives a great consistency, some reviews have said it's too thick and when it's measured and made perfectly it is a shake on the slightly thicker side but i don't think it's gloopy and honestly just customise it for your own tastes and let it out with more liquid but adding a bit at the time! A good tip if you make yours before the gym/workout to have ready as you finish, make it as you would normally or even slightly thicker and as you leave pop some ice cubes in (you'd have to trial how many) and they'd melt during your workout and by the time you're ready they will have melted, given you the liquid for your preferred consistency, so another few shakes just how you like it and the bonus it will be nicely chilled! I've lost count of how many powders I've tried and this Belgian chocolate really comes out on top by a long shot in flavour, consistency, price, amount of protein, vitamins and the specialised combination of nutrients. It leaves me feeling full for a good 4 hours and I'm loosing weight. Perfect! Definitely recommend.

I have tried many protein shakes over the years. None of them ever came close to the Myoplex range. Protein shake reviews rely on personal taste factors and one size does not fit all as they say. For years I have bought grass fed natural plain whey isolate powder which is healthier as - no fillers. Issue with that is its grainy texture. I have to use frozen berries or ice to thicken it and get rid of the grainy texture. This means I have to use a blender each time. I decided to try PHD diet whey, I dislike the fillers and fake sugars but I would use it occasionally when no blender available. Firstly this is the first protein powder to mix thick without blender. Best result is with a blender and some sugar free almond milk but ice water in a shaker produces a very nice drink indeed! The only negative I can think of is the slight artificial chocolate taste and it's rather sweet. This is easily fixed by mixing a scoop with a half serving of plain whey isolate powder. I like this shake, it's not perfect but much better if you want a thick filling shake. It mixes very well in porridge and chia pudding.

I’m a prime user, so I got this the next day. Slight issue with the delivery though being sent to the wrong address but when I finally got it I followed the instructions on the back and quickly whipped up my very first protein shake in my nutri bullet blender I used 200ml water instead of 175ml, ONE scoop of powder but it tasted really warm so I added a handful of ice cubes and blended again. Perfect. As for flavour, let’s be honest, it doesn’t taste like a chocolate bar but it satisfies you if you have a strong sweet tooth like me and what with it being filling you wouldn’t want to eat anything else afterwards, which is great. The reason for me buying is because I’m always in a bit of a rush in the mornings and never get a chance to have a proper breakfast, only a few sips of coffee then it’s out the door straight to work. Seeing how quick it is to make this protein shake tonight and how filling it is, this is now my new breakfast! The only major con and big let down, hence why I had to go down a star is because of the packaging. It says on the front that the pack is “resealable” and to cut along the line, so I was expecting one of those grip seal bags, for me to open it and it’s velcro. Sorry, correction, chocolate powder covered velcro that won’t even seal shut. I had some pegs lying around so got 2 and sealed it myself by folding the top down. This shouldn’t have to be done though so I’m quite disappointed. Overall, the product is worth the money, your paying £17.99 (if you have prime as the delivery is free), for a big bag of protein powder, the taste is great, super filling, great as a meal replacement.

Easy to use and mix decent taste

Really nice flavour. I've tried a few others and while vanilla creme is my favourite, this one is still very nice. I will say though, while the single portion of this is smaller than some other flavours, the recommendation on the back of the packet to have two portions has left me feeling bloated, and it is quite sickly. Stick to one, and you can't go wrong.

Conclusion The flavouring is spot on here but severely let down by texture. Due to the texture, I would not recommend this protein powder. Myprotein is the best, but it's now extremely overpriced. My search for a good-value protein powder that ranks highly in all categories continues. >> UPDATE (Dec 2022): I finally managed to try a new powder... PBN Chocolate Hazelnut, and yes, it's a winner! I can finally subscribe to it on Amazon - It's good value, tastes great, and mixes great! Once I finish this, I will try their other flavours and provide another update. >> UPDATE (Feb 2023): I'm not sure if the taste changed with Choc & Hazelnut, but I'm no longer enjoying the taste quite so much (I have to add more milk). I've now tried PBN Chocolate, and it's much better than Choc & Hazelnut. PBN Chocolate takes the top spot in all categories and is now the one to buy! >> UPDATE (May 2024): I've just tried the new Chocolate Whey Protein from High5, and it's amazing! It easily takes the top spot in all categories. Unfortunately, the premium price means it's not something I can buy frequently so I'm still subbed to PBN Chocolate (still excellent). I'll buy it as a treat when it's on offer.

Good product

I’ve been using the PhD Nutrition Diet Whey Lean Protein Powder (Belgian Chocolate) for a few weeks now and I’m really impressed. The chocolate flavor is smooth and not overpowering, which I appreciate, It doesn’t taste artificial or overly sweet. It mixes quite well with water or milk using just a shaker, with minimal clumping. The protein content is excellent for a lean formula, and it keeps me full post workout. Overall, a solid choice for anyone looking to support fat loss or muscle maintenance without compromising on taste.

Absolutely disgusting taste and texture. Couldn’t shake it to proper liquid form.

Love this brand, been using it for years now. Favourite are the chocolate and vanilla.

I purchased PHD Diet Whey Belgian Chocolate and I am very satisfied with my choice. For months, I have been trying similar products, and all of them were extremely sweet and hard to drink. This one is not overly sweet, which makes it much more pleasant and easy to consume daily. Even when mixed only with water, it has a creamy texture and a well balanced taste. The product arrived very quickly and without any issues. I am so satisfied that I will also purchase the vanilla flavor. I recommend it to anyone looking for a tasty protein shake that is not too sweet.

Great quality

Excellent for meal replacement and take off some weight. Just mix with water and you get a quite heavy shake. You can also add fruits, but mandatory. Great taste too.
