BIO-SYNERGY WHEY BETTER
MARKS OUT OF 10
TASTE: 8 / MIXABILITY: 9 / POST-RUN APPEAL: 8
Easy to take on board immediately after a tough session, this tastes like a milkshake (even when mixed with water) and, more importantly, doesn’t leave an unpleasant aftertaste. Quite pricey, but worth it if you’re serious about recovery.

XF WHEY EXTREME
MARKS OUT OF 10
TASTE: 7 / MIXABILITY: 8 / POST-RUN APPEAL: 7
Don’t be put off by the in-your-face marketing: there are no ‘extreme’ levels of protein here, just a perfect 23g. The Chocolate flavour is very sweet, so won’t be to some runners’ tastes, but it goes down smooth with either water or milk.

PULSIN PEA PROTEIN
MARKS OUT OF 10
TASTE: 9 / MIXABILITY: 7 / POST-RUN APPEAL: 8
Used predominantly after hard sessions or long runs, your tester did feel like it helped with recovery. Gives a good blast of protein (20g) per sachet and has minimal added sugar. Tastes good but occasionally wouldn’t be that easy to mix which is the only downside with this product. Would recommend.
