“Taste is spot on
The chocolate browny flavour is great. Mixes really well in a shaker and texture is really smooth. The only improvement I would say is the bag it comes in rips easily and I had to store it in a container as the seal broke.”
“We Aussies seem to be a bit hard done by when compared to the availability and affordability of supplements afforded to our mates in the US. I've tried at least 10 Australian suppliers over the years for bulk protein and this is the first product I've gone out of my way to recommend to other gym-goers.
I call it the "every man" protein powder, we don't want to be paying an arm and a leg for quality supplements (most of us are trying to gain mass after all). This is the product I would recommend to new lifter and veteran alike, I'm confident you won't find another Aussie product that tastes or mixes better for the price.
As far as nutritional content goes I keep it simple, I'm just looking to substitute a bit of protein intake from meals, it is what it is, protein supplements aren't the make-or break for your goals.
Always delivered quickly, professional company that I look forward to doing business with for years to come, keep it up!
*Whether you buy 1kg or 100kg, make it all choc brownie. Too good.”

I have never left a review of any product on any site before, however I was quite impressed by the service and felt inclined to leave one.
As a uni student, i'm definitely looking for value, so i've made my way through many a dime a dozen different supplement brands. Buying in bulk (~5kg) at a time, I decided to try UPROTEIN this time.
I'll give it an overall score out of 50. Score is relevant to the price of the product and its competitors.
PRESENTATION: I was very impressed by how professional they are, especially considering the price. A lot of other brands i've tried cut corners in this area. The website looks good and is easy to navigate, the packaging is quality and well designed. An 8.5/10 for me
TASTE/TEXTURE: I got the choc brownie and banana sundae flavours. I have no issues with mixing or clumping, and both flavours are quite pleasant. There aren't as many varieties for flavours as some brands, but I don't think that's super relevant. Only issue to pick is that the packaging doesn't actually specify the flavour on the outside. I rate this an 8/10.
INGREDIENTS/QUALITY: i'm not a nutritionist or scientist, nor will I pretend to be. So the most important factor is really just protein % per 100g. At 80.9g protein per 100g, it is definitely respectable as non WPC. The previous brands i've used e.g SSD or BBP tend to fall around the 80 - 81g mark for standard whey. There is also extra additives which would benefit some, but for the sake of this review i'll ignore those. This gets an 8.5/10.
PRICE and REPUTATION: This is one of the most important factors for me. you will struggle to find 4kg of whey for $100 from another reputable brand. I have previously bought 5kg for $100 from SSD. However there just wasn't enough information or reviews for me to justify continual purchasing. As a trustworthy and mainstream brand, 4kg at $100 is fantastic. I rate it 9/10.
POSTAGE and DELIVERY: This is what did it for me. As soon as I opened the parcel locker and saw the branded box, I decided I was going to leave a review. My order came within 4 days via my absolute preferred courier Aus Post (I can only get deliveries via parcel locker) so that was a huge bonus for me. One of the reasons I stopped buying from BBP was due to them using a dodgy courier. Not only does it come in a branded cardboard box, but it also comes with air cushions - other brands i've used have literally sent the protein packages in a tightly wound material comparable to a garbage bag, with exploded protein everywhere inside. The only problem i'd have is - with the quality comes a price, auspost will cost a bit more and so too will the packaging. However this is quality i'm willing to pay for and I give this area a 9.5/10.
It's sad you can't trust manufacturers or brands these days, especially in the fitness industry where everybody is plugging new supplements everyday. Basically in a world where everyone is out to make a buck with little regard for service or performance. UPROTEIN is a reputable company with a great brand, good price, value and service.
*Overall I rate them and this product 43.5/50 or 8.7/10.
I would highly recommend this to friends, family and anyone really. Fantastic value and I will be ordering again until I find a better alternative. As of right now leaving this review, this is my go to brand and product.
Quick disclaimer* - they do offer incentives for leaving reviews. However I don't care much for it and just wanted to leave a review solely because I was impressed by the quality of the product and service, especially in comparison to the numerous other brands i've tried. Hope the review helps.”
“Terrific product in terms of Protein content to Carb totals.
Very easy to consume with great taste.
Highly recommended and will purchase again for sure.”
“I am really impressed with my recent purchase of 4kg Whey Protein Hydro from from Uprotein. The formula looks to work quite effectively and you can see the difference between Hydro and regular protein in the way the powder reacts with water. The taste is great and the delivery arrived quickly. Very happy customer.”
