I will replace one or two meals a day through each one shake, preferably in the evening immediately after exercise (5 times a week 1 hr.). Otherwise, I eat low carb and spare fats where it goes, but there is not exaggerating. Finally, should still taste like something the meals. For this I take BCAAs and Krea-Genic (both of Weider Maximum) a. With very good results, this much I can say.
A little research I found that the protein powder contains all essential and two semi-essential amino acids, that all amino acid building blocks that can not be produced by the human body. Almost 20% of the protein contained consists of glutamic acid, perfect for building muscle. Overall, the protein mixture is as high quality to call (I'm not a sports doctor, just a normal doctor). Unfortunately, there is not on the package, which I considered appropriate but, especially Weider the content really does not need to hide! In addition, vitamin B6 and calcium have been added, an overall good mixture.
The taste: I like to have some choice and always order something else, that's why this report is mainly concerned with the taste.
Chocolate: tastes strongly of milk chocolate, a bit like some chocolate. With water it reminds me of infused water with cocoa, probably not so positive. With soy milk you get a very thick "chocolate mousse" that you have already almost spooning. It is best to mix it with skim milk or they are diluted in half with water. I do not like the variety.
Strawberry: mixed with milk it tastes like a McDonald's strawberry shake, but also with 100% water he's okay. The strawberry flavor is slightly artificial, like you might know it from strawberry milk. It's just not as if you bite into a fresh strawberry, not that I would have expected that. Strawberry is not my favorite variety, but still head and shoulders above the old Multipower strawberry (now they've got a new box, maybe they have since been working on the taste. When I had bought 2 years ago tasted horrible).
Toffee-Caramel: my favorite variety! Tastes absolutely not low-carb / low-fat but very rich! After a drink you think you would have just eaten grandma Karamelcremepudding, the taste is very good. Particularly with milk (eg 0.1%) the taste is great! The floury flavor have almost all protein powder is imperceptible, it tastes like something that could be "sports nutrition" sell without the hint.
Citrus quark: Also one of my favorites! Tastes nice and fresh, mixed with water, it is delicious with milk or half / half it increases again slightly. Tastes slightly mealy, but does not bother me at Quark taste.
Cookies & Cream: One should not think that a liquid shake ever "keksig", can taste in this case after butter cookies; But he does. And even quite good. With water I have not tried this variety.
Cappucino: The tastes like at the time of Nescafé frappé, if you can remember the. Significant coffee taste even in water it tastes very good. Not too sweet, with a few ice cubes, it would pass for a commercial ice coffee.
One should at Shaken (I have the Smart shakes of Body Attack and the Standard Shaker Weider used) really pay attention until the liquid and then fill the powder is then obtained after only a few seconds a perfectly homogeneous mixture, without anything sticking to the cup inside remains , Stirring I have not even tried, a fairly reasonable Shaker costs from 5 and so can be achieved the right consistency quickly and without much effort, without the same effort a blender.
The Weider protein powder contains aspartame, who suffers from phenylketonuria or generally skeptical about Aspartame is As for the 80 plus should avoid; I for my part, also take over other light products of aspartame to me and survive it until today, but also do not suffer from phenylketonuria.
The bag is resealable, namely airtight. That sounds good at first, but you should squeeze out most of the air out of the bag when closing. I put a bag in a shopping basket and then thoughtlessly thrown with a carton of milk. Here, the protein powder bag is cracked on the side, beautiful mess.
Overall, I rate the Weider Protein 80 Plus shakes with "very good". After a hard workout you would be right on the Shake, most other powder were more of a punishment that you had stoically into battle in itself. With the 80 plus Shake it is not difficult to take the necessary calories in protein shape and carbohydrates largely to replace, even if a lust grabs something sweet. Since the Shake is mixed correctly thicker formula he lingers long enough in the stomach to produce a feeling of satiety, which I find very positive. Some report of bad breath when they drink the shakes, I can confirm, however, is not the so-called the shakes but probably. "Ketone breath" when you feed on carbohydrate. In contrast, you can for example eat a banana, if it bothers a self or others. Brushing helps at best temporary.
A small suggestion to Weider by my side: Sold Tester sets with a choice of flavors all in 30g bags! Varieties such as Tiramisu and wild berry yoghurt me laugh though, but somehow you're still skeptical and does not want the same order half a kilo. Varieties like chocolate, I would rather have given me. The 2kg bag there, unfortunately, only in the basic flavors, which I think is quite a shame.
Soon I will still test the hardcore Water Whey from Best Body Nutrition and see how it tastes. I will then be directly compared with the Weider Protein 80+.
