SERIOUS Protein – Protein Powder – 4kg – Low Carb – Supports Lean Muscle Growth – Recovery Supplement - The Bulk Protein Company - 133 Servings (Salted Caramel)

As far as cheap protein powder goes, it's what you'd expect. The flavour is a bit off, but not that terrible - there's no weird artificial flavour in there or anything unpleasant. It mixes well and providing you do it thoroughly there's no clumps. So far all the bukets I've bought have survived Amazon's delivery system without damage. That is a thing though, you're buying a giant 5L bucket of protein powder - those buckets they sell fence paint in... it's that big. Good luck fitting it in a kitchen cupboard.

Got salted Caramel Flavour. Peoples negative reviews of this stuff is absolutely unjustified. It's really not bad considering its low sugar content, like at very worst I would rate the taste as Meh, smells OK but no it's not winning any awards. Don't like the taste or texture? Mix something with it which changes the taste and texture profile. Lumpy? Put water in first and shake it quickly, use a chopstick to unstick lumps stuck on sides or even use a whisk. It's really cost effective protein powder that serves its purpose and all protein powder tastes a bit rubbish.

I picked up this 4kg tub of the Salted Caramel "Serious Protein" primarily because of the price-per-serving ratio. With 133 servings listed on the tub, the value proposition is hard to ignore compared to smaller premium brands. After working my way through the first kilogram, here is my honest breakdown. The Packaging & Size First off, be warned: this tub is enormous. It barely fits in my standard kitchen cupboard. If you have limited storage, you might want to decant this into smaller containers. The lid seals well, which is crucial for a bulk buy this size to prevent the powder from clumping over the months it takes to finish. Flavor & Texture (Salted Caramel) With Water: It mixes relatively thinly. The flavor is sweet, perhaps a little artificial on the aftertaste, but drinkable. It doesn't have that thick, milkshake consistency when mixed with water alone. With Milk: This is where it shines. It becomes much creamier and the "salted" note comes through better, masking the artificial sweetener taste. Mixability: I use a standard shaker with a metal ball. It mixes about 90% well, but I do notice occasional small clumps if I don't shake it vigorously for a good 45 seconds. It's not the finest milled powder I've used, but acceptable for the price. Nutritional Value For a "Serious Protein" blend, the macros are solid for lean muscle support. It is low carb, which fits my current diet macros well. However, note that this is a soy/whey blend (check the ingredients label carefully), which explains the slightly different texture compared to 100% Whey Isolate.

Flavour is very weak with this power. Could do with a more powerful flavour. Great price for the amount of protein you get, Needs thorough shake so there are no lumps of protein when you drink.

I bought this powder some time ago. Ok admittedly people are right the sugar Vs protein content is excellent it gives you a great 24g of protein per 30gs of powder with low sugar so can't complain. It's cheap enough so for a basic protein powder your winning. My issue is I've trained for years I've used numerous protein powders from the top end ones to the cheaper ones. The issue I have is this one has to be admittedly one of the worst I've tasted. The consistency of it doesn't mix well even in a blender and it triggers my gag reflex almost instantly. Don't get me wrong I've even tried it with other things, milk, porridge, and yoghurt but the result is the same. I bought it 4+ months ago and I still have over half a tub so you can guess this is now my emergency powder for when I haven't hit my protein goal. I've honestly found the quickest way to deal with it is use the smallest amount of water possible and neck it back like a shot. It's not one I'd mix up in a shaker and be glad to take with me out of the house. Bottom line if you want a cheap high quality decent protein powder this will fit the bill. But it will not win awards for taste or texture. I do have to agree with some reviews though it's awfully similar to vanilla not salted caramel

Bought the Salted Caramel flavour, If you just drink it straight with water/milk it has noticably grainy texture compared to whey protein. Vastly improved with a banana I add 1/4 tsp vanilla and 300ml milk then blend it up, texture becomes smooth and creamy. Pretty decent as overnight oats also. Update: Tried the Chocolate Peanut butter flavour, Salted Caramel has a noticable soy bean aftertaste that the choc peanut one doesn't. It has a rather subtle chocolate flavour can't really notice any peanut in there but so far I'd say it's a nicer flavour than the Salted Caramel mainly because of no aftertaste but it's sweeter and more pleasant overall. Value still can't really be beat.

PLEASE READ! I have brought 2 diffrent flavours from them chocolate bulk and salted caramel low calorie , both items came damaged with powder on the item and in the box the caramel had the SEAL BROKEN. TASTE: both items tasted awful no flavour or even a hint of it TEXTURE: does not mix well at all ! I had to use a blender and sometimes even still had clumps of it in there . It was incredibly thick even adding a lot of water. I tried milk with the same results , sometimes so thick I could literally eat it with a spoon or turn it upside down. It taste and acts like concrete. Please save your money and spend a little extra on a better product. SHORT VERSION: doesn't mix well , taste like concrete and flour , no flavour. Both items purchased were damaged. A shame I even gave this product a second opportunity. Granted macros looks great but it is soy not whey protien

One of the best protein powder we have found. Does need a good mix.
