WPI Flavours & Nutritional Info
We now have 27 flavours available to choose from.
We have two brand new releases:
- Cookies and Cream Ice Cream: A blend of creamy vanilla with crunchy, chocolatey cookie bits and hints of dark cocoa. The sweet vanilla and rich cookies create a balance of smoothness and crunch, with a thicker mouthfeel. If you're not blown away by this one, hit us up for our 110% Guarantee.
- Mint Cookie Crunch (Limited Edition): Think mint slice, but in a protein powder. Mint ice cream, rich chocolate and real cookie pieces with a crunch. Fully backed by our 110% Guarantee. Once sold out, it's gone and won't be available for backorder.
All flavours are naturally sweetened. 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.
In terms of nutritional information, it will vary between flavours. Here's a breakdown (thanks to @Chaffix and @Jamiess in prior deals):

To help guide, here are the category descriptions from the table above:
Category | **Description ** |
---|---|
STRAIGHT | Unflavoured and optimised for macronutrients (90% protein). Due to omitting flavours and any sweetener, this is just straight WPI from the manufacturer (less than 1% sunflower lecithin added at the point of manufacture). Use in cookies, smoothies etc. Or if you just want the best macros and don't care for taste! |
CORE | These flavours have between 75-87% protein. They will also be low in fat (0.3-0.8g/serve) and also low in carbs (1-3.7g/serve). As a general guide, suitable if you have strict dietary restrictions and want to keep the carbs/fat down, but want something more exciting than unflavoured. |
INDULGE | These flavours will have 64-68% protein with a higher serving size. Notably, carbs will be a bit higher in these flavours (6.8-9.9g/serve) and the cookie flavours will have around 1g extra fat/serve - which contributes to an extra 20-30 calories per serve. This extra latitude with macros and ingredients allows us to elevate the flavour to be what we consider amazing, while not being a complete cheat meal. Given the popularity of Aussie Choc Malt, we're experimenting with a few others in this category and have recently released our two new cookie flavours. |
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
- We only use WPI in this protein - this is not a blend of other cheaper proteins (for example Whey Protein Concentrate/WPC)
- Protein used is added hormone free, ultra and micro filtered and cold pressed
- Naturally sweetened with thaumatin. 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 proteins 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 (or have sold) 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).
In a previous deal, 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.
Whey Protein Prices in 2024
Whey pricing is something I have been making mention of in our prior posts, more as a heads up about a possible increase in retail prices. Anyway, we have now seen this transpire across several brands.
In summary, prices have gone up at the supplier level over nine months ago and we have now seen price increases across the board. We did raise our prices in July as a result of this.
Full transparency; this deal has also increased because we can no longer sustain the lower price point. Itβs up by $2.50/kg (for 4kg, same credit) and we have kept the optional 5th kg at the same price but with reduced credit. This is the first price increase weβve had on these deals since the end of 2022. Despite this, I do hope that this continues to represent great value.
Z Points FAQ
- What are Z Points? Z Points are the same as store credit. Your account is credited and you can use this as a discount on any future order with us.
- Can I use Z Points/Credit from a prior deal? 100% Yes. If you received $50+ last time, feel free to use it as a discount this time.
- How do I use my Z Points/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.
- How long until I receive my Z Points/Credit? You will get your Z Points assigned to your account in about 10 days of your order shipping. It can then be applied to any future order that you place. This cannot be expedited.
- Other Z Points/Credit Info: Z Points do NOT expire. Also, you do NOT have to be a Club Z member to retain your store credit.
- Z Points Limit: There is a limit of one lot of bonus store credit per person across all our promotions for the next three weeks. You can order more than 5kg of WPI, or place two separate orders, but the store credit will be capped so we can stay in business and keep doing deals like these. We do not plan to do any other OzBargain promotions during this time.
Other FAQ
- Choose Multiple Flavours: We pack these into 1kg pouches. Choose the multi-flavour option for 4 (or 5) different flavours.
- Packaging: We are now using new pouches. Should you have issues, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team.
- 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 full sized Amino Z supplements.
- 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.
- 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 ($75 for 5kg). 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 Brazilian Chocolate (Brigadeiro) (which recently overtook Matcha).
A word of thanks
This community has supported our business now for years and I am eternally grateful for the ongoing support and feedback. The way in which we have continued to improve our offering most certainly would not have been possible without the input we receive on OzBargain. Thank you so much to everyone.
As always, I will personally be on the deal page engaging with everyone. Vanessa (our head of customer service) will be handling all direct messages. Please do not hesitate to reach out should you have experienced any issues or simply have a question.
Thanks again everyone!

A quick note to anyone who has recently purchased in the last 7 days prior to the launch of this deal (and only just missed out on this offer). If you wanted to take advantage of this deal, please feel free to send us through a direct message and Vanessa can look after you.
We get asked this every deal and we will be more than happy to accommodate. The fact that you are supporting our brand outside these deals means the world to us and we do not want you to feel like we've done you a disservice when you could have waited a few more days.
Thank you as always!
Jay
