The Great Protein Taste Test: Myprotein’s Best and Worst Flavours
Choosing a protein powder in Singapore can feel like a high-stakes gamble. With a 2.5kg bag often costing upwards of $60 USD, the last thing you want is a flavour that tastes like "weird chemical mouthwash." To save you from the "Pineapple" disaster I experienced, I decided to take one for the team. I personally purchased and tested 23 different Myprotein flavours, scoring them on a strictly arbitrary scale of 1 to 10. Whether you are prepping for a HYROX race at the Singapore EXPO or just trying to hit your macros, here is the ultimate guide to what actually tastes good.
The Standout Champions: The 8/10 Club After months of shaking and sipping, two flavours rose to the top of the standard Impact Whey range. If you want a protein shake that you actually look forward to, these are your best bets:
Chocolate Mint: This is the undisputed heavyweight champion. It perfectly captures the essence of mint chocolate ice cream without being overly "fake." It is sweet, refreshing, and—most importantly—it does a brilliant job of masking that weird, milky underlying taste that ruins so many other powders. Even after a 1kg bag, I wasn't bored of it.
Blueberry Cheesecake: This was a pleasant surprise. It smells incredible and tastes consistently of blueberry rather than a generic "fruit" blend. While it can start to taste a bit artificial if you drink it every single day, it is a fantastic alternative for those who aren't fans of chocolate-based shakes.
The Mid-Range Reliable: Good for Daily Use If you prefer something simpler that won't overwhelm your palate, there are several "safe" options in the 7/10 range. Banana is a solid choice; it’s a weaker, smoother flavour that lacks the nasty aftertaste found in some of the more complex blends. Chocolate is another reliable workhorse, tasting very similar to a standard chocolate milk (think Yazoo). Vanilla Raspberry also deserves a shoutout—it’s significantly better than the plain Vanilla, which I found quite unpleasant due to a lingering chemical finish.
The Absolute Misses: What to Avoid Not every experiment was a success. In fact, some were downright "insane" in how bad they tasted.
Pineapple (1/10): Avoid this at all costs. While it smells great, the taste is reminiscent of the medicinal mouthwash you only encounter at the dentist’s office.
Cookies and Cream (1/10): A massive disappointment. Instead of the dessert-like experience I expected, it tasted more like vanilla-scented shampoo.
Rocky Road (2/10): Watery, weird, and simply unpleasant. It’s a definite miss in the texture department.
Final Verdict: How to Buy
My top recommendation for the Singapore athlete is Chocolate Mint. It is robust, sweet, and consistent. If you hate mint, go for Blueberry Cheesecake. Pro tip: use a shaker ball to ensure everything dissolves properly, and try using slightly less water to keep the flavour concentrated. "No protein powder tastes ‘great,’ but finding the one you can tolerate daily is the key to consistency," and for me, Myprotein’s Chocolate Mint is the clear winner.
