Best MyProtein Flavours & Ones To Avoid

MyProtein is now one of the biggest sellers of protein shakes and as such they have enough demand to offer the largest range of flavours on the UK market.

They have come a long way since their incorporation in 2004 and following acquisition by The Hut Group in 2011 they have become one of the fastest growing supplements globally and are the biggest protein supplement brand in Europe.

Being based in the UK (Manchester) is a plus in our book and although we weren’t exactly thrilled to be taking on 55 different MyProtein flavours, our quest to find the best MyProtein flavour seemed like a noble one and one that would open us (and hopefully you) up to more options than the standard chocolate, banana, strawberry and vanilla that have dominated the market for decades.

10 Best MyProtein Flavours

With no less than 55 flavours of MyProtein Impact Whey to choose from (one of which is unflavoured) we figured you might not want to sift through every single one to find the best overall My Protein flavour – so we have compiled our top 10 right off the bat.

1. Vanilla and Raspberry
2. Chocolate Brownie
3. Vanilla
4. Unflavoured
5. Chocolate Mint
6. Summer Fruits
7. Natural Strawberry
8. Salted Caramel
9. Banana
10. Chocolate Coconut

Vanilla and Raspberry

MyProtein have mixed the classic vanilla flavour here with a dash of refreshing raspberry flavouring and we have to say it is one of our favourite flavours out of all 55! This tastes good whether you mix it with water or with milk and the consistency of both protein shakes is excellent. We used a standard MyProtein shaker and we didn’t have any lumps with the milk providing a much creamier consistency as well as making for a perfect flavour combination. The vanilla flavour is not too strong but there are enough subtle hints of it throughout to make a sweet but not sickly shake. With 21g of protein per scoop and a mix that was easy to digest we found vanilla and raspberry to be one of the stars of the bunch.

Chocolate Brownie

Despite being chocolate lovers in the office (and let’s be honest who isn’t) we aren’t necessarily all overly fond of chocolate flavoured drinks – but the MyProtein chocolate brownie flavour was one that garnered universal approval. A slightly lower 18g of protein per scoop was the only real negative but this is more than made up for by the smooth and rich taste of chocolate brownie that we found with this protein powder. It was a little watery (surprise surprise) when mixed with water but with milk the overall taste was simply sublime. There was no sense of it sitting heavy on the stomach after drinking and it gets another big protein packed thumbs up from us.

Vanilla

Vanilla has long been one of the main staples of protein shake flavours and if a protein manufacturer can’t manage a decent vanilla flavour then there is a problem – thankfully, the MyProtein Vanilla flavour is bang on. We could have quite easily put vanilla right at the top of the tree and if vanilla is your preference of flavour with other brands then this should be a good alternative. Nutritionally solid, great flavour and a smooth easy to blend texture makes this one of the best flavours in the range – even if it is tried and tested – sometimes the oldies are the best.

Unflavoured

Okay so this is technically not a flavour but it is an option so we have included it in the 55 flavours. Lots of people prefer as natural a blend of protein as possible or simply prefer to add their own flavours to their protein shake – no problem there and the MyProtein unflavoured mix will not disappoint. You get the same high quality as with the other flavours and a whopping 21g of protein per scoop. Mix with fresh fruits such as banana or strawberry for added vitamin C or mix with peanut butter for an added protein and healthy fats boost – or if you can stomach the lack of flavour you can of course drink it as it is – simply mix with water or milk to your desired consistency.

Chocolate Mint

One of three chocolate flavours that makes our top 10 list is chocolate mint. This is available with Stevia or without and we tested the standard chocolate mint flavour. 18g of protein per scoop are mixed with chocolate and mint loveliness to create a decadent blend that is rich and easy to stomach. The mint element is not too overpowering and gives this flavour a freshness that takes away any sickliness that you might sometimes associate with chocolate flavours. We found that mixing this with milk provided a lovely creamy consistency and the lump free blend was a pleasure to drink.

Summer Fruits

Maybe not one for the winter months but for those hot summer workouts sometimes you want something a little more refreshing on the palate when you’ve gotten all hot and sweaty. The Summer Fruits flavour from My Protein is just what is called for in those situations and if you have the time you can even mix this over ice and add some fresh berries for that added vitamin C blast. It might not quite feel like sipping on a cocktail (and we wouldn’t advise adding alcohol for sure) but its about the next best thing and as far as protein shakes go we had to put this in our top 10 flavours.

Natural Strawberry

If you find some of the flavourings in protein shakes to be artificial that’s because… well… they are artificial. MyProtein has tried to rectify that with their natural range that includes natural flavourings rather than artificial ones. The result is a higher sugar content but these natural sugars are all good so long as you aren’t caning cans of Coca Cola all day long. Strawberry is another big favourite and has a history of being a top seller – this one tastes great, has a lovely smooth texture and packs 20g of protein per scoop.

Salted Caramel

This one is more of an acquired taste and the chances are you will either love it or absolutely hate it. The general consensus in the Fitness Brain office was that it was a hit but one member of the team refused anything more than a sip after the initial tasting. The sweet yet savoury taste is not too dissimilar to mixing peanut butter and honey or maple syrup in your overnight oats – but of course it has that little bit of added salt flavouring. Nutritionally, this flavour ticks all the boxes and if you like salted caramel you will like this – but drinking it every day is a bit much for some so we’d only suggest going for it if you really love salted caramel. We also found that this flavour was best mixed with milk.

Banana

Another of the classic flavours and again it is probably not surprising that all three classic flavours make the top 10. Banana is the least popular of the ‘big 3’ but this is a really good version of banana flavour from MyProtein. There are actually 3 varieties of banana flavour from MyProtein with natural banana, banana with stevia and straight up banana – the latter being the one we preferred. 20g of protein per scoop are combined with 4.5g of BCAAs and 2g of leucine to provide a nutritionally well balanced blend of whey protein. We could not fault the flavour, consistency or how easy it was to digest and it was even good enough to convert one member of the team to MyProtein from a more expensive brand for the foreseeable future – enough said!

Chocolate Coconut

Another interesting flavour combination here and one that we usually associate with Indian desserts than with protein flavours and if truth be told we didn’t hold out too much hope for this flavour combo – but we were more than mildly surprised. Think Bounty but with a little less coconut taste and you are on your way to imagining what this tastes like. Mix with milk if you prefer a lighter chocolate flavour but we should point out that this mixed pretty well with water too. This one did sit a little heavier on the stomach but that was on a double scoop and it was nothing too difficult to handle. Overall, we are happy to say this flavour snuck in to our top 10 flavours.

The Other 10 Chocolate MyProtein Flavours

With 13 chocolate flavours in the My Protein range it would be easy to get lost choosing which one is best for you. As a general rule, we found the chocolate flavours all pretty tasty with subtle differences between most (excluding those mixed with a second flavour such as mint or orange) and most mixed well with milk or water. In addition to the three that made the top 10 here is a brief summary of each of these flavours:

Chocolate Banana – A pleasant taste that will please those that can’t decide between banana and chocolate but like both. Easy to drink and more chocolatey with some subtle banana tones coming through.

Chocolate Caramel – A little sickly for most of us as one of the sweetest chocolate flavourings on offer. If you have a really sweet tooth then this might be a good option for you.

Chocolate Nut – Light nutty flavours come through this chocolate protein powder. An enjoyable taste with a nice smooth consistency.

Chocolate Orange – Not quite on Terry’s level but a nice blend of chocolate and orange flavours that give you something a little different. Quite sweet but pleasant all the same. We preferred it mixed with milk.

Chocolate Peanut Butter – We though’t we’d quite like this one but it didn’t appeal as much as other chocolate flavours. Worth a try if you like peanut butter mixed with chocolate but not a hit for us.

Chocolate Smooth – One of the best that didn’t make the top 10 list. This is your Ronseal of the MyProtein flavours – it does exactly what it says – giving you a super smooth chocolate consistency that tastes great.

Natural Chocolate – Similar to the smooth chocolate but made with natural flavourings.

Chocolate Stevia – This had more of an artificial taste than the other chocolate offerings but was still very drinkable. This did not sit heavy and was easy to digest.

Chocolate Mint Stevia – Similar to the chocolate mint flavour that made our top 10 and was very pleasant.

White Chocolate – One for the pure chocolate fans here and those who like things sweet. We recommend mixing this white chocolate flavour with milk otherwise a double scoop becomes quite a challenge to take on.

The Best of the Rest

With so many to choose from and of course being a fairly subjective review it is pretty much impossible to rank the rest of the best MyProtein flavours in order. But these are the others that we would recommend with them pretty much tasting as you would expect:

Blueberry, Blueberry Cheesecake, Coconut, Coffee Caramel, Cookies and Cream, German Gingerbread, German Hazelnut, Hokkaido Milk, Latte, Pineapple, Plum, Raspberry, Rocky Road, Strawberry Cream, Strawberry Jam Roly-Poly, Tiramisu.

MyProtein also offer a range of vegan friendly protein – check out which one of their vegan range we think is best as well as other top vegan protein powders here.

The Ones We’d Avoid

These flavours might appeal to some people but our general consensus within the office was that these flavours were not all that great. Some of them were just too sweet or just plain odd tasting:

Black Sesame, Cinnamon Dash, German Cinnamon Star Cookie, Golden Syrup, Liquorice, Maple Syrup, Marzipan, Milk Tea, Peach Tea, Red Bean, Sticky Toffee Pudding,

To Conclude

Most people find a flavour and stick to it but what we have found with this Myprotein taste test is that it can pay to try something different.

Just like you should mix up your nutrition and exercise routines it is probably a good idea to mix up your protein flavours – after all, you wouldn’t eat the same thing for dinner every day so why restrict yourself to one flavour of protein when there are so many good ones to choose from.

Women with straight or wavy hair can benefit from using a hair straightening brush. The tool can help add volume and body to your locks and give you a polished look in just minutes. If you have frizzy or flyaway hair, a hair straightening brush can also help tame it and give you sleek, smooth strands.

What’s Great About a Hair Straightening Brush?

One of the best things about using a hair straightening brush is that it’s quick and easy to use. You don’t have to spend hours curling or flat-ironing your hair to get sleek, smooth strands – a hair straightening brush can do the job in just minutes.

If you’re new to using a hair straightening brush, you may be wondering what kind of brush to use. There are two main types of hair straightening brushes: ceramic and ionic. Ceramic brushes are great for all hair types, while ionic brushes work best on thick or curly hair. So, if you’re unsure which brush to use, ask your stylist for a recommendation.

The Best Way to Style Your Hair With a Hair Straightening Brush

So, getting started with using a hair straightening brush is easy. Just follow these simple steps:

Start With Clean, Dry Hair

The first step is to make sure your hair is clean and dry before you start styling. If you wash your hair prior, use a quality shampoo and conditioner to cleanse your locks, and then use a towel to blot them dry.

Give your hair a quick brush to detangle it, and then use a blow dryer in a cool setting to remove any excess moisture. Once your hair is completely dry, you’re ready to start styling.

Apply Heat Protectant

Before you start using the hair straightening brush, it’s essential to apply a heat protectant product to your strands. It will help protect your hair from heat damage. There are many different heat protectant products on the market, so choose one that’s right for your hair type.

If you have fine or thin hair, look for a lightweight spray or serum. For thicker hair, cream or oil can help to weigh it down and add some extra moisture.

Divide Your Hair Into Sections

Once you’ve applied a heat protectant, it’s time to start styling. But before using the hair straightening brush, divide your hair into sections. It will make it easier to style and help prevent damage.

Start with small sections of hair near the front of your head, and work your way back. Use a clip or hair tie to keep the areas separate.

Start at the Roots

When you’re ready to start using the hair straightening brush, begin at the roots of your hair. It will help you get maximum straightening power. Next, slowly glide the brush down the length of your hair, and go over each section multiple times.

If you’re having trouble getting your hair straight, try using a higher heat setting on the hair straightening brush. Just be sure not to use too much heat, as this can damage your hair.

Repeat These Steps Until All of Your Hair is Styled

Once you’ve finished styling one section, move on to the next until all your hair is straightened. If you have any stubborn flyaways, you can use a small amount of hairspray or serum to tame them.

And that’s it! You’ve successfully used a hair straightening brush to style your hair. Just remember to use a heat protectant and take your time while styling to avoid damaging your hair. With a little practice, you’ll be a pro in no time.

Shop GIFTS FOR HIM

But now that Miles isn’t as destructive and Henry is still immobile, there’s no chance I’m going to be lazy about decorating this year. I want to create memories for my kids that are magical and festive for the holiday season. So that’s why I’m heading to everyone’s favorite store for all my needs. Today I’m sharing my picks for the most festive Target Christmas decor under $100.

Festive Target Christmas Decor Under $100

You can find Christmas decor just about anywhere these days, but let’s be real, Target is the best. It’s affordable and gorgeous and there’s something for just about everyone. For us and our home, I prefer to keep things traditional with my decor – reds and greens, twinkle lights, and yummy scented candles. But if you like more unique or modern color or decor options, Target has that for you too!

A few examples of things I’ve purchased from Target in the past for the holiday season can see in this post. They’re simple and festive but not so big and bulky that they can’t be easily stored in the attic the other 11 months out of the year. So do you shop for Target Christmas decor this time of year? What are your favorite finds? Let me know in the comments below!

Shae Walker: Describe your style in 3 words:

Maria Chammas: “Refined and feminine but still playful.”

SW: Where do you primarily shop?

MC: “I primarily shop at Alice + Olivia, that’s just been the brand I’ve gravitated to the most since high school. But I love having basics and neutrals in my closet too, so I go to brands like Theory and Aritzia for those types of pieces. “

SW: If you could raid one person’s closet, who would it be?

MC: “I’d raid my mom’s closet! She has the best style and so many iconic pieces. I definitely get my love of clothing and fashion from her. If only we were the same shoe size But if I were to raid a celebrity’s closet, I think I’d go with Hailey Bieber. She always looks so chic and put together but still cool and trendy without even looking like she’s trying.”
SW: Where/ who do you draw inspiration from? 

MC: “I’ve shifted from obsessing over certain influencers and instead I draw inspiration from TikTok and Instagram in general. I also love checking out street-style photos during fashion week to see what new trends are popping up.”

SW: If you could only wear one piece for the rest of your life, what would it be?

MC: “The piece I’d wear for the rest of my life is my pearl ring. It was my grandmother’s, and she gave it to my mom when she was a teenager. A few years ago, my mom gave it to me and I wear it every single day!”

SW: What are your beauty essentials?

MC: “My main essentials are my gold jewelry pieces that I never take off. They’re a good base that helps me feel more put together even if in reality I look like a mess. But for beauty products, the Fenty tinted moisturizer is my absolute holy grail. It is so beautiful on the skin and just evens everything out without too much coverage or product use. “

SW: What are your go-to spots in Dallas?

MC: “My go-to spots are Fachini (if you haven’t tried the meatballs, you’re doing it wrong), Lounge 31 and Musume. These places have the best food, drinks and overall aesthetic/vibes. “

SW: Favorite look you’ve ever worn:

Image Courtesy of Maria Chammas

MC: “My favorite look is a winter look I wore this past December when I was celebrating Christmas with my family in Lebanon. We were up in the mountains and the weather was a little cold, so I styled a brown Sandro vest over a cream turtleneck, with a vegan leather Alice + Olivia skirt and this amazingly tailored Alice + Olivia coat. My boots and sunglasses are Dior and I felt like they pulled the outfit together perfectly. I just love the way it looks to layer neutrals in the wintertime! “

Diverse Style Options

Diverse style options are one of the first reasons people wear wigs. The great thing about wigs is that they come in so many different looks, styles, lengths, and colors. If you like to switch up your look and hairstyle on a regular basis, wigs are an excellent way to do that. If you want to rock your natural hair a few days a week and wear a wig on the others, you have the freedom to do so. Wigs are a perfect way to mix things up and enjoy diverse styles.

Experiencing Hair Loss

Another reason that many people choose to start wearing wigs is if they’re experiencing hair loss. Hair loss and hair thinning can be frustrating to deal with, and trying to style your natural hair can become a challenge. Fortunately, wigs are a fantastic solution for hair loss. You can use wigs or hair toppers to conceal your hair loss and create a hairstyle with thickness and volume. You can find a wig that matches your natural hair color and length if you want to maintain a cohesive look.

Trying Out a New Look

Trying out a new look is another one of the benefits that human hair wigs offer. If you are considering a new hairstyle but aren’t ready to commit, a wig is a terrific way to give a new style a test run. For example, if you have long hair and are thinking about chopping it off for a short bob, you might want to try a wig first to ensure you like the style before making a drastic change. You may also want to dye your hair but aren’t sure if the color will look good on you. You can find a wig in the color you want to try to see if you love how it looks.

Protecting Natural Hair

People also wear wigs to protect their natural hair. If you experienced a lot of breakage, split ends, and heat damage, you might want to give your hair a break for a while. Wearing a wig is a perfect way to let your hair rest and recover. You can style your wig how you would normally style your hair without damaging your natural hair in the process. For example, you can curl your wig with a curling iron while your natural hair remains safely tucked underneath.

Now that you know the main reasons people choose to wear wigs, you can decide if a wig is the right solution for you. Trying out a wig for the first time can feel like a great adventure, so don’t be afraid to try something new.

For me, I always seem to leave stocking stuffers until the end. These are typically the small gifts that don’t even need to be wrapped, ya know? The ones you can scan online or in-store and pick up in a breeze. For my family growing up, our tradition is going through your stocking first things Christmas morning, and then moving on to unwrapping presents. What is your family tradition for stockings vs. presents under the tree?
