OZB-SPRING
Quick Intro
My deal video: https://youtu.be/qFcFh67R2U0
Thank you to everyone who has continued to support us on OzBargain and our website! The support and feedback has been incredible, allowing us to continue to improve as a team and a brand. We have again received a number of requests for a new deal and so here it is, a little better than last time, which I hope represents some great value.
The Deal
Amino Z Whey Protein Isolate 4kg for $149.99 Delivered + $50 back in store credit (Repeat Customers $55/Pre-Existing & Paid Club Z $65)
I note that we've made a bit of a change - if you have purchased from us before, you'll now get back $55 in credit as a token of our appreciation of your support.
Plus we have some aggressive offers on these other products of ours:
- Amino Z Micronised Creatine Monohydrate 1kg $37 Delivered
- Amino Z Ultra Shaker $4
- Amino Z Tongkat Ali 60 Capsules $37 Delivered

- Amino Z Horny Goat Weed 60 Capsules $17 Delivered
- 30% off any other Amino Z and Bandito Labs supplements (free delivery)
Coupon code: OZB-SPRING (add in shopping cart)
You will get the store credit just so long as you order 4kg of WPI (or more). You can order anything else on top of this and you will still receive the bonus credit amount.
WPI Flavours
We now have 21 flavours available to choose from. (I recorded the above video and then our team added even more new flavours for this deal!)
Our new releases are: Aussie Choc Malt (reformulated - thank you for the feedback on the old flavour!), Chocolate Honeycomb, Pandan & Coconut Gelato, Taro Milk Ice Cream, Choc Hazelnut (extremely limited quantity available)
All flavours are naturally sweetened. All use thaumatin except for Cinnamon Icing (which uses stevia). Please note that some people find the stevia aftertaste unpleasantly bitter, so we'd recommend avoiding the cinnamon icing flavour if you're concerned about this.
We have transitioned over to thaumatin for the fact that it is an all natural plant based sweetener, a superior flavour profile, a neutral insulin impact (as it is a protein) and being very gentle on the gut. A bit of trivia, thaumatin is about 10x the cost of artificial counterparts (eg. sucralose) and more than 5x the cost of stevia based on weight! Our focus remains on product quality.
Also note the Unflavoured option is straight WPI with just sunflower lecithin added at the point of manufacture to assist in mixing and reduce frothing (less than 1% w/w). There is no sweetener added either.
Flavour Availability:
Flavour availability will change throughout the deal. I will this area updated as flavours run out.
- On Backorder (Can be backordered): Taro Milk Ice Cream (back in stock Aug 28-29), Pandan (back in stock within 2 weeks)
- Sold Out (Cannot be backordered): Cinnamon Icing, Chocolate Hazelnut (Note, if you already ordered Chocolate Hazelnut, it will be shipped next week - please ignore any auto emails about it being out of stock)
All other flavours are in stock.
Product Breakdown
- 100% Australian Blended and Packed in our Sydney Facility
- Our manufacturing facility is owned by us and is a NSW Licensed Food Facility with an approved Dairy Processing license
- For the nutritional information for each flavour, please click on the "Nutritional Info" tab. The best macros are for Unflavoured (Per serve: 29.7g P / 0.3g F / 0.4g C), and the flavour breakdowns will be variable. All other flavours have less than 1g of fat per serve and 1.2-3.7g of carbs/serve. The new Aussie Choc Malt is the only exception with 9.9g carbs/serve (from the malt component) - I highly recommend it for the taste, avoid if you want to keep the carbs down.
- We only use WPI in this protein - this is not a blend of other cheaper proteins (for example Whey Protein Concentrate/WPC)
- Protein is added hormone free, ultra and micro filtered and cold pressed
- Naturally sweetened with thaumatin (except Cinnamon Icing which uses stevia). We do not use artificial sweeteners.
- Soy free - we use sunflower lecithin instead of soy lecithin (soy is common in whey proteins)
- Backed by our 110% Guarantee. Try it and if you don't love it, we'll give you 110% back (in store credit) or a full refund (including delivery). As I mentioned in the video, we offer this so you can try the product risk-free. If you've opened it up to try it we're not going to make you send it back either.
Commonly Asked - Amino Z WPI / ON 100% Whey / Musashi 100% Whey (The 3 most popular products here on OzBargain)
In almost all of our prior WPI deals, I have been asked how our WPI compares to two other very popular products on OzBargain that we sell (Optimum Nutrition 100% Gold Standard Whey and Musashi 100% Whey).
One thing I want to emphasise is that we sell all three products and despite us obviously having a vested interest in our own brand, we firmly stand behind the quality of all three products (hence why we stock all of them).
I asked our team to put together a comprehensive and objective video detailing many key differences between the three products. So if you're interested, the video can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LBeV33fArc
Obviously taste will come down to personal preference so we haven't touched on this, we have instead focussed on key attributes of each product. I hope this presents a fair representation of each.
Other Notes/Common Questions
- Choose Multiple Flavours: We pack these into 1kg pouches. Choose the multi-flavour option for 4 different flavours.
- Packaging: All our WPI now has the new zipper packaging. You can purchase a plastic tub separately (select the option just above the "Add to Cart" button)
- Nutritional Information: To view the full nutritional panel, just click on the "NUTRITIONAL INFO" tab on the page and then select the flavour.
- Best Before Dates: Best before dates will be 18-24 months away. We turn this product over very quickly so all current stock has been produced recently.
- Free Delivery: You will get free delivery on your entire order when you order any Amino Z or Bandito Labs supplements.
- Applying Store Credit: To apply existing store credit (Z Points), firstly make sure that you are logged in. Then, go into checkout and after entering your delivery and shipping choice, select "Load Payment Methods". Once loaded, you will see an option entitled "Spend Your Points". Click this and then enter how many points you wish to apply as a discount to your order. You can apply points acquired from previous deals to this purchase.
- Applying the Coupon Code: Please apply the coupon code in your shopping cart before checking out.
- 30% Discount: The 30% discount will be off the full price before discount, not on the already discounted price.
- Receiving Store Credit: Store credit is assigned as "Z Points" to your account within 10 days of your order shipping. It can then be applied to any future order that you place.
- Store Credit Limit: There is a limit of one lot of bonus store credit per person during the promotional period. You can order more than 4kg of WPI, but the store credit will be capped so we can stay in business and keep doing deals like these.
- Other Store Credit Info: Store credit does NOT expire. Also, you do NOT have to be a Club Z member to retain your store credit.
- Club Z: Our Club Z membership program is a paid subscription with the most common membership being $9.99/month with $10 back/month for each monthly renewal. This is different to having an account on our website. We frequently run Club Z bonus offers, such as in this deal where anyone who was already an existing active and paid Club Z member (immediately prior to launching this promo) will receive a total of $65 back in Z Points. Full info here.
- Referral Codes: Please note that this offer won't stack with our referral code offer, nor any other offers.
- Our 5 most popular flavours: Chocolate, Vanilla, Aussie Choc Malt, Iced Coffee and Matcha Green Tea Ice Cream.

Updates
21/08/23 5:05PM: This deal has been bigger than we anticipated and we are now running low on a few flavours. Cinnamon Icing (will be sold out once exhausted), Chocolate Hazelnut (will be sold out once exhausted), Taro (if it sells out, will be back in stock by Wednesday), Pandan (if current stocks sell out, it can be backordered and will incur a 2-3 week delay). These flavours are all still available and in-stock and the website will update when they run out. - Jay
22/08/23 2:55PM: Taro Milk Ice Cream is temporarily out of stock. We are in the process of making more product today so any orders should not be delayed. You may however see a notification on the website saying it is on backorder. - Jay
22/08/23 4:43PM: Taro Milk Ice Cream has come back in stock, no orders will be delayed as a result. Please ignore any automated emails you may have received if you ordered while it was out, your order will dispatch on time. Cinnamon Icing, Chocolate Hazelnut and Pandan flavours continue to be relatively low on stock for now, but still available. - Jay
23/08/23 10:25AM: Orders are continuing to be dispatched on-time (within 24 hours). We remain low on Cinnamon, Chocolate Hazelnut and Pandan flavours, but they are still in stock at this moment. Thank you to everyone of the support of this deal, our entire team is working overtime to ensure everything goes smoothly. For anything urgent (eg. order fixes), please PM Vanessa on OzBargain (under this account) as our customer service team are a few hours behind in responding to emails due to the volume of orders we are currently processing. - Jay
24/08/23 8:54AM: Orders are continuing to be dispatched within 24 hours of placing your order. We've managed to keep on top of manufacturing demand and remain in stock of all our flavours. Our customer service team is still a few hours behind on emails, so please send through a message on OzBargain for anything that is urgent (eg. order changes - so we can hopefully catch it before it ships). As everyone is now receiving their deliveries, should you have any issues please reach out to our team and we will be more than happy to rectify (eg. damaged in transit, any issues with the pouches, or if you just don't like it). Thank you again for the overwhelming support of this deal! - Jay
25/08/23 11:15AM: Taro, Pandan and Choc Hazelnut flavours are currently on backorder. If you have backordered Taro or Choc Hazelnut, your order will ship on either Monday or Tuesday next week after we produce more stock so there should be minimal delay (if any). If you have backordered Pandan, your order will ship within 2-3 weeks (we are waiting on more flavouring to arrive). If you receive an auto-email about Choc Hazelnut being unavailable please ignore this, we will have your order sent next week. Feel free to contact us to change flavours if this causes any issues. Otherwise all orders are being shipped within 24 hours of being placed. - Jay
27/08/23 8:53AM: Cinnamon Icing is now sold out completely. Any backorders for Taro and Choc Hazelnut will be fulfilled in a couple of days. Pandan backorders will be fulfilled within about 2 weeks. All orders are being dispatched on time (weekend orders will be sent Monday). Thanks again for the overwhelming support for this deal! - Jay
28/08/23 8:51AM: We have decided to extend this promotion after receiving a number of requests from some of our loyal customers who missed out. This will only be for a short period, but given how much support and constructive feedback we have received, we feel it is only fair. Thank you to everyone who has supported this deal and made it our highest upvoted supplement offer ever! Please note, taro will be back in stock today/tomorrow and pandan will be back in stock within 2 weeks. Choc hazelnut backorders will be fulfilled within 48 hours (but sorry, we cannot accept more orders for this flavour since we have a supply delay on the flavouring and cannot guarantee a new dispatch date yet). If anyone has any issues whatsoever, please reach out to our team and we will do our very best to fix so you're happy! - Jay
28/08/23 11:35AM: We just produced a new batch of taro, but even more backorders have been created on this flavour. We are waiting on more flavouring to arrive and we expect these new backorders to ship within 2-3 weeks. Should this be too long for you, please PM us and we can change flavours, or split your order into 2 shipments. Thanks for your understanding! - Jay
29/08/23 7:35AM: I realise I made a mistake yesterday when extending the promotion and have now rectified this, it is set to finish on Wednesday after which we will 100% have to end this promotion. We have just produced some more chocolate hazelnut and the good news is we have a small quantity remaining if anyone is after this very popular flavour. Please note, choc hazelnut cannot be backordered due to ingredient supply issues. Taro and pandan will both have a wait time of approximately 2-3 weeks for backorders (we are doing our best to expedite this, but are waiting on more flavouring to arrive). Thank you again to everyone for the ongoing support of this deal, we have been extremely fortunate to have such an amazing customer base and we will continue taking on board all of this amazing feedback so we can do even better. - Jay
It's totally fine! I've just rolled the top and put some pegs on it instead! Thank you!!
