Whey Box Review

Protein. It is something I have reviewed and written about more times than I care to remember, I have two other brands and another on the way which you can look forward to in the near future. I get through a lot of the stuff having a scoop most mornings in my breakfast shake or a pick me up shake after a heavy gym workout. My only gripe with the stuff is, no matter how much you enjoy a particular brand or flavour, you usually have to buy a whole tub of one flavour at a time. Unless you have endless space for tubs and a particular love for one flavour this can be a bit tiresome, so Whey Box are here to help.

Whey Box is a monthly subscription service supplying handy 30 gram sachets of protein which is available in ten different flavours. The best thing about this is that, if you don’t like a flavour, you don’t have to try and get rid of a full tub of the stuff or leave it gathering dust. The sachet packets make them ideal for transporting to the gym so there will be no exploded powder in your gym bag or less than appetising pre-made shakes getting lumpy in your shaker.

Each sachet contains around 22 grams of protein, 2 grams of fat, 3 grams of carbohydrates and 120 calories so they are pretty much on par with the majority of protein powders that are on the market today. The branding is simple and clean with the flavours clearly recognisable on each sachet meaning when preparing blurry eyed of a morning, you are unlikely to mix up the wrong one.

I usually whizz up my protein shakes in my Nutri Ninja because any trace of a lump makes me feel physically sick. I wanted to try this in a shaker though because the portability of it seems a waste to then have to decant into a blender at home. Unfortunately I did find it was a little lumpy when mixed with water and shook in a shaker bottle.

Lucky for me my friend had won a Promixx not so long ago so I whizzed up my Whey Box protein on the go direct in the bottle (I have ordered one so will review as soon as it arrives!) to see how it tasted when blended rather than shaked. The lumps disappeared leaving a smooth shake but I do think the flavours are a little bland despite using the amount of water suggested on the packet. Because I only had one of each flavour I couldn’t use more to see if this helped but I would guess with more protein the flavours would come out better. There is a whole host of recipe ideas on the Whey Box website so I will be giving some of these a go for different ways to use my protein in the future.

In conclusion, I love the concept of a subscription box of different flavours of protein that are easily used and transported where needed. Something unique in such a saturated market is refreshing although I do think the flavours need a bit of work. Well done Whey Box, which flavours do you think they should include next?
