04/09/24 8:47AM Update: We have done one final extension off the back of a few email requests given that we have (just) enough stock to sustain us. This deal will 100% be ending midnight tonight - I am sorry but we cannot extend this any further due to stock limitations. Thank you to everyone who has supported us in making this the Deal of the Month for August (our first gold badge woohoo!) and our most upvoted protein deal ever! - Jay

Quick Intro

My deal video is here. (Slight error on Mint Cookie Crunch, once sold out it will not be able to be backordered)

  • Sold Out (Cannot be backordered): None

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.

Flavour Descriptions

Thanks for the suggestion to include these @gimmebubbletea! Written by Chiara on our team (I do not have the creative wording ability for some of these descriptions!)

  • Aussie Choc Malt (New and Improved): Transport yourself back to the childhood days of mixing spoonfuls of chocolate malt powder into full-cream milk with our Aussie Chocolate Malt (New and Improved) flavour. This flavour is mildly sweet with a distinct malty taste that pairs perfectly with gentle notes of milk chocolate, resulting in a well-balanced and delightful flavour profile. Contains Gluten.
  • Banana: A moderately sweet and creamy shake, with the prominent taste of ripe bananas.
  • Brazilian Chocolate (Brigadeiro): A velvety taste of chocolate with hints of caramelised condensed milk.
  • Choc Cherry Delight: A flavour that captures the beloved taste of a classic Australian chocolate bar, it blends the richness of dark chocolate with the sweet tanginess of cherries and subtle hints of coconut, creating a delicious and satisfying shake that mimics the real deal.
  • Chocolate Caramel: Inspired by a popular Aussie Chocolate caramel lolly, our chocolate caramel flavour harmoniously blends the sweet and sticky profiles of caramel and butterscotch with a subtle milk chocolate base.
  • Chocolate Coconut: A blend of rich dark chocolate with sweet, creamy, and nutty coconut undertones.
  • Chocolate Honeycomb: A combination that showcases the richness of milk chocolate paired with the sweet and distinctive taste of honeycomb. Its velvety texture complements the flavour notes, elevating the overall taste experience.
  • Chocolate: A smooth and velvety chocolate flavour with a delightful sweetness and prominent cocoa notes.
  • Coconut Ice Cream: A creamy, moderately sweet flavour with a hint of nuttiness that closely resembles the flavour profile of sweetened coconut milk.
  • Coffs Harbour Choc Banana: Staying true to its name, the Coffs Harbour Choc Banana is a creamy shake that strikes a delightful balance between smooth milky chocolate and ripe banana flavours.
  • Cookies and Cream Ice Cream: Cookies and Cream Ice Cream flavour blends creamy vanilla with crunchy, chocolatey cookie bits and hints of dark cocoa. The sweet vanilla and rich cookies create a perfect balance of smoothness and crunch, with a thicker, more decadent mouthfeel that makes it especially indulgent and satisfying. Contains Gluten.
  • Creme Caramel: A creamy shake with multiple caramel flavours that blend together harmoniously, and a touch of salt to create a balanced sweetness.
  • Fruity Cereal Milk: A nostalgic blend of zesty, fruity kids cereal and milk flavours. Delicious with water, but when made with milk, it tastes exactly like the sweet milk left at the bottom of your fruity cereal bowl.
  • Iced Chai Latte: A delightful blend of sweet and spicy flavours, reminiscent of the authentic taste of chai with a touch of creamy vanilla. If you're a fan of the classic chai latte, you won’t be disappointed by this flavour.
  • Iced Coffee: A harmonious blend of robust coffee flavours complemented by milky undertones and subtle hints of vanilla.
  • Indulgent White Chocolate: A sweet, buttery flavour, complemented by hints of caramel, vanilla, and milk.
  • Matcha Green Tea Ice Cream: It's a delightful harmony of sweet and earthy matcha flavour combined with a creamy vanilla base.
  • Melon Milk: Inspired by a popular Korean drink, our Melon Milk flavour melds the taste of fresh honeydew melon with milky, vanilla notes. It's a refreshing, vibrant, and perfectly balanced flavour that's considered to be anything but dull.
  • Mint Choc Chip: A refreshing blend of peppermint, perfectly balanced with the creamy richness of milk chocolate. If you're a fan of the classic ice cream flavour combination, you're in for a delightful treat.
  • Mint Cookie Crunch: Mint Cookie Crunch flavour combines the flavours of mint ice cream with crunchy, chocolatey cookie bits for a delightful treat. The crisp mint flavour perfectly balances the rich chocolate, while the added cookie pieces create a satisfying crunch, making every sip both refreshing and enjoyable. Contains Gluten.
  • Neapolitan Ice Cream: A perfect trio of strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla ice cream flavours. This flavour is considered to be sweet and moreish, making it a great choice for those with a sweet-tooth.
  • Pandan & Coconut Gelato: A South East Asian inspired flavour featuring the sweet and refreshing taste of pandan blended with creamy coconut notes. Together, they create a smooth, sweet, and tropical-flavoured shake.
  • Smooth Milk Chocolate: A milder, lighter chocolate taste and sweetness compared to our regular chocolate flavour.
  • Strawberry: A lightly sweet and creamy shake with prominent strawberry notes, nicely balanced by hints of vanilla.
  • Taro Milk Ice Cream: A smooth and creamy blend, coupled with the distinct flavour of taro and subtle milk undertones.
  • Vanilla Creamy: This flavour is inspired by vanilla ice cream and is celebrated for its well-rounded, pleasantly sweet taste, as well as the smooth texture it brings when made into a shake.

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. It’s 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 we’ve 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.

  • 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.

We do not plan to do any other OzBargain promotions during this time.

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!

        It'll be really helpful if you add these descriptions to each flavour so we know what the differences are. The downside with offering so many flavour varieties is that we get analysis paralysis and close the page because we don't know which flavours to get (especially when many flavours look similar, like the chocolate ones). I suspect your conversion rate will increase too. We don't want to risk getting a weird looking flavour because of the risk of being stuck with a bag (or 5!) of protein powder that we struggle to finish (or throw away) because we didn't have a better idea or expectation of what the flavour will be like.

        Anyways, just my two cents.

        • Great feedback, thanks for sharing this @gimmebubbletea

          Very valid indeed…we've gone nuts with the flavour options and some are very similar. I'll add our flavour descriptions to the OP to assist.

          Thank you so much for the insight!

          Jay

      • Thanks Jay, I will give it a go.. you thinking of running any promo soon (1-2 weeks). If its mostly likely, i can hold on to, to get my WPI, Macha for that.

        • Hi @mountains, all good. I can confirm that we won't be running a promotion in the next 1-2 weeks. Thanks for your interest!

    Do you have any plans to make your own version of the protein dessert mousses?

    I've tried the Bodyscience and Man Shake versions and they're not too bad for a higher protein not-exactly-healthy-but-maybe-better snack

    My attempt at using Cottees instant custard powder and protein powder didn't come out right!

    • We have certainly had this suggested to us @TheFrunj and it is on our consideration list (which is a very long list 😂).

      While we do not have firm plans around this, I will certainly take note of this. The references to those other brands will be very helpful when we look further into this potential project.

      Thanks for the suggestion and also for the support of this deal!

      I can recommend mixing any of the WPI with a bowl of yoghurt to make a delicious dessert. I use an electric whisk to mix it up.

      • I mix the unflavoured Amino Z powder to berries and yoghurt all the time, never thought to whisk it though!

  • Dammit my order from last week is arriving today. Woulda gone the full 4kg

    • @diggityfish, if you only just ordered feel free to send through a direct message. Vanessa will be happy to look after you.

      We really appreciate the support outside of these deals, so we are more than happy to support you if you only just missed out on this one!

  • Thanks I ordered 4kg bag of beans - great value $159. Does the coffee store okay in the freezer til I'm ready to grind it?

    Do you guys have any protein particularly suitable for cooking /baking? Have used your stuff in a few cookie recipes and it just doesn't seem to come out great.

    • +1

      I've asked the team and they have advised that either the Vegan Protein or Casein Protein is better suited to baking rather than our WPI, as our WPI won't hold moisture as well.

      Those will both be covered with this code for 30% off and free shipping.

      Thanks for asking @chriaj2689

      Jay

      • Thanks for checking out. Is it possible to mix my order with , say 4kg of the usual whey and 1kg bag of the casein?

        • +1

          @chriaj2689 you can do this. But to clarify how the structure of this deal would calculate it all out would be:

          • 4kg WPI deal (with the associated 4kg Z Points)
          • 30% off the full Casein price
          • Free shipping

          I hope this clarifies. Thanks!

          Jay

          • @aminozcomau: Ah thanks I didn't realise Casein isn't priced the same or part of the same deal!

            • @chriaj2689: No worries, glad I could clear that up for you. Thanks again for asking.

              Jay

  • Still have 3 bags left, but I think it’s time to try some new flavours!

    • Thanks for the support @SuperGreen! I really appreciate the new order!

    Hi OP

    Looking to try these.

    Which flavour do you recommend that’s has the least or zero amount of sugar? (Apart from unflavoured)

    Also are these good for use in cooking/ baking as well?

    • +1

      Thanks for asking @YoursTruly

      In terms of sugar, the flavours with the lowest sugar % will be Matcha Green Tea Ice Cream, Vanilla Creamy, Banana, Coconut Ice Cream and Mint Choc Chip (all are 1.4% or lower, and 0.4-0.5g/serve of sugar). The sugar component is almost all lactose in these flavours, so it's only slightly off unflavoured.

      For baking, generally the Vegan Protein or the Casein Protein will be better suited as these will hold moisture a little better than our WPI. Both will be 30% off with this code.

      I hope this helps.

      Jay

      • The sugar is mostly not an added sugar? And is rather mostly a lactose component?

        Did I get that correct? If so, can you please elaborate on the added sugars component with more detail?

        Thanks mate

        • +1

          Hi @YoursTruly, that's correct especially in these flavours.

          Lactose will be 1.2% of the product as a maximum and is from the WPI itself. The flavouring may contain small amounts of sugar. For example with these flavours, there it will be about 0.2% sugar from the flavour, which in a 32g serve is ~0.06g - ie. pretty negligible.

          None of our flavours have sugar added in as a separate ingredient. I must however note that in our three "INDULGE" flavours, sugar is higher due to the additional ingredients we add in. Aussie Choc Malt has malt, while the new cookie flavours have actual cookie crumbs (which will contain some added sugar). This won't be the case in the "CORE" range.

          I hope this provides some more clarity around this.

          Jay

          • @aminozcomau: Hi Jay

            I went ahead and purchased WPI 5kg close to midnight, and intended to add 1kg creatine to the order but realised after the purchase confirmation that I hadn’t.

            Trying to purchase 1kg creatine after the fact with the coupon OZB-COOKIES returns with the error ‘not valid’.

            I would like to add the creatine to my purchase order (and possibly even a pre workout supp.), or purchase it/ them separately with the coupon.

            Probably a bug? Could you please assist with this?

            My order number for the WPI 5kg is 109962532.

            • +1

              @YoursTruly: @YoursTruly thanks for the note on this.

              I've just checked the order as Vanessa is currently offline. I can see that the order has been placed on hold presently to add in the additional item(s). So don't worry, we won't ship this off before sorting this out for you.

              I'll give Vanessa a heads up on this to follow up with you on the matter once she comes back online and we'll be able to finalise this. We will be able to do this at the discounted price with no additional shipping.

              Thanks for the order and sorry for any confusion on this.

  • Thanks Jay

    Top shelf product! My partner has always had stomach issues due to lactose intolerances, and Amino Z WPI has been incredible for her. No stomach issues, no rotten farts (she loves me for that).

    Well done!

      That's fantastic to read @Pascawali. I am so happy to read this and thank you so much for sharing this!

      Lack of bonus aroma is always a good thing 😂

  • Hello, Have you solved the issue of your bags zippers breaking about 30% of the time yet?

    • @Oliver we have exhausted those horrible bags we had earlier in the year and moved to new pouches.

      They aren't 100% perfect, but the rate of issue is a fraction of what it used to be, they are much more reliable. We are in a constant pursuit of improving these pouches.

      If you run into any issues please feel free to hit us up and we'll be happy to sort out a replacement for you.

      Thanks for asking about this.

    Hi Jay, have you experimented with Ninja Creami yet? Looking to use whey protein and see what kind of recipes you can make out of it!

    • +3

      We certainly have @everydollacounts!

      One example is here for a Milo flavour and another is here with our Matcha flavour. We're still experimenting with others too.

      On our Instagram page we have a bunch of other recipes that are not necessarily using the Ninja Creami. It's a work in progress.

      Thanks for asking!

  • Hi,
    For some reason I am unable to select the option to use Z points to pay for the 5kg option, I've done all the steps leading up to the checkout and when I click on load payment options it only comes up with the normal card, afterpay and bank transfer options. I don't see anywhere to use the Z points. I was wondering if you could help me out.

    • Thanks for asking @eighto

      Are you definitely logged into your account? If so, please send over a direct message to Vanessa and she can sort this out on our end for you. I'll give her a heads up now about this.

      Sorry for any inconvenience on this matter.

      Jay

      • Hi Jay,

        I'm definitely logged into my account as it has remembered my address and payment details. I'll send Vanessa a message now aswell.

        Thanks

        • Ok great, she is aware of this and will be able to assist. Sorry for the issue.

  • Anyone else notice the consistency of the WPI has changed? It’s even finer now which is annoying as it’s so light it kinda gets everywhere on your hands when you reach into the bag and scoop.

    • +1

      I can confirm that this has been an update as part of our process @nomoneynoproblems

      We had a number of complaints about the powders clumping together, so we updated the way in which we blend our powders to yield a finer final texture. This was done earlier this year.

      I will take note on this feedback however. And if anyone else has similar concerns please share as this will be helpful for me to take to the team.

      Jay

    • i did notice this too actually - but i just make a point of kind of pushing the sides together as i reach in , which kind of makes the opening wider.

  • +2

    It is getting a bit expensive now. jumped from $149 to $159. Eventhough I tried going back to other brands , but they don't taste as good or mixes that well. Ordered another 5Kg.

    • +1

      Thanks for the comment @listenam and I do appreciate the new order.

      We did put through a price update on the website and subsequently on this deal too by $10 as you mentioned. We have been hit by increased commodity prices over the past eight months or so and the lower price point just wasn't going to be feasible for us with such slim margins. The major culprit has been in the material cost of WPI which has seen a very sharp increase since last year. We have now seen a number of price adjustments across a number of brands as a result of this.

      I greatly appreciate the ongoing support and we will be doing everything we can to keep our prices as low as feasible.

    Hi reps, pure WPI from most brands all contain BCAAs, do yours too?

    Also the source of origin of your whey protein?

    • +1

      Thanks for asking @sol3x

      So yes, ours will contain BCAA's as part of the protein itself, as WPI will inherently contain BCAA's. We don't add in additional BCAA's, but do note that most brands do not add in additional BCAA's.

      BCAA's are amino acids and amino acids are the building blocks of protein.

      Below is the amino acid profile per 100g of protein (unflavoured):

      Alanine: 5500mg

      Arginine: 2200mg

      Aspartic Acid: 12100mg

      Cysteine: 2400mg

      Glutamic Acid: 19200mg

      Glycine: 1700mg

      Histidine: 1800mg

      Isoleucine: 7300mg

      Leucine: 11400mg

      Lysine: 10800mg

      Methionine: 2400mg

      Phenylalanine: 3200mg

      Proline: 6500mg

      Serine: 5000mg

      Threonine: 7700mg

      Tryptophan: 2100mg

      Tyrosine: 3000mg

      Valine: 6400mg

      Also in terms of the source of protein, we are currently using protein sourced from USA.

      I hope this helps!

      Jay

    any options for lactose free?

    • @enkidu79 we don't have anything completely lactose free, but all flavours, including Unflavoured are low lactose (1.2g/100g).

      Thanks for asking.

      Jay

    Hi Jay
    Massive fan of your deals!
    Lots of information about the protein but can you tell us more about the flavours you use? They taste awesome but where are they coming from, how are they made, have they been tested?
    If I take a simple flavour like strawberry for example, is it all artificial or is it based off real strawberries?

    • +1

      Thanks for the support @ibex

      So our flavours will come from flavour houses based either in USA or Australia. The flavours will generally be spray dried flavours. Many of the flavours will be derived from the actual food itself.

      There is a lot of grey area in the legislation as to what constitutes "natural" flavouring, so we don't make any claims in relation to what is and isn't natural with our flavour components.

      In addition to the flavours we add, we do have other ingredients that contribute to the flavour profile which are not done in a lab. For example, cocoa is used in all our chocolates, matcha is used in our matcha green tea, coffee is used in our iced coffee etc.

      I hope this provides some insight here.

  • Damn, just ordered the Creatine last week. Guess I'll double it up. Anyone tried the Pandan flavour?

    • We can always look after you with the creatine if you only just ordered if you don't want to double up - please feel free to shoot over a message to us and Vanessa will look after you @RefreshingTea

      The pandan is a lighter pandan flavour but has been quite popular in our assortment. I'm sure others will be able to share their feedback here. But if you're unhappy with it, you can always hit us up for our 110% Guarantee.

      Jay

      pandan

      was pretty good, will get 1kg next time again.

      • can i make pandan waffles with it ?

        • I guess… I always thought heat ruins protein though?

        • Generally I would avoid very high temperatures with the WPI. Beyond 60 degrees you do risk denaturing the protein, as it is very highly processed and can be sensitive to high heat when cooking.

          Jay

    • The pandan's nice, but I don't really like the coconut flavour being used.
      I add a ml of pandan extract to mine and to me it's awesome.

  • Amino Z back with another 🔥 offer

    Might not buy this round as still getting through my 3 bags from last time but just wanted to post to say the Neapolitan Ice Cream WPI is a banger!! Please don't ever discontinue this one 🙏🏻

    Thanks Jay and team for continuing to look after us!

    Please let me know what's the next flavour you might recommend me if my faves so far are Aussie Choc Malt, Neapolitan, Smooth Milk Choc and Matcha Green Tea.

    Not too huge on the Taro, Melon Milk, Banana or Iced Coffee so far as they get sickening quick for me

    • +1

      Thanks for the support @expiired!

      No plans to discontinue the Neapolitan and I'll share this feedback with the team.

      If you like those, a couple of the newer ones - Cookies & Cream and Brazilian Chocolate might be worth giving a shot. Cookies & Cream actually tastes like the name. The Brazilian Chocolate is similar to the smooth milk or our regular chocolate, but more with a caramelised condensed milk undertone.

      I hope this helps and thanks as always.

      Jay

      • Awesome stuff Jay! Might give the Brazilian Choc a whirl on my next order 💪🏻

    Not sure if youre able to comment but do you foresee any further increases to your prices in the next couple months/year? Appreciate the transparency

    • +3

      Thanks for asking @drryn

      I think it's pretty unlikely in the next 6 months at least.

      We will generally secure stock around 6 months in advance at a particular price, so we will have some idea of how retail prices will move once that stock arrives into the country and is manufactured into product for sale. But beyond that, it's a little hard because obviously anything could happen to impact commodity prices and our dollar.

      I hope this at least provides some transparency here.

      Jay

  • hi - just wanted to check if cashback/price works on 2-3 quantities of the 5kg?

    • Thanks for asking @Securityclearance

      The price per unit before Z Points will remain the same for 5kg and higher (ie. $38/kg). But the Z Points will be capped at the 5kg amount for this particular deal.

      I hope this helps.

      Jay

  • +2

    I note that the 5kg deal with cashback comes out slightly more expensive per kg than the 4kg. Is this intentional? In previous deals the 5kg was slightly cheaper per kg.

    • +3

      @dijitr I guess this will be the case with Club Z because of the bonus Z Points awarded here, but won't be the case with the other categories.

      I guess this was a bit of an oversight and so we will make an adjustment for Club Z on this matter to be $7 back in store credit for the 5th kg (up from $5).

      Thanks for the feedback on this!

      Jay

    • +1

      Thanks for the new order @squeeb!

      I'm sorry to say that we don't currently have the Chocolate Coconut available for sampling. We are working on expanding our sample flavour range, but it has been challenging with the variety of flavours we now have available.

      That said, if you do order the full pack, it will be covered by our 110% Guarantee if you don't like it for whatever reason.

      Sorry I couldn't be of more help here, but thank you for the ongoing support!

      Jay

      • Thanks for your reply Jay. I totally understand.

        Any news on how far away the protein water is? Coles has it at 50% discount this week but I prefer to wait for yours.

        • +1

          @squeeb we are in the final stages of developing the protein water, but realistically it will still be months away (3+ in all likelihood). There are a few final kinks we're trying to iron out before we attempt to release anything in the protein water range.

          Jay

        • link ?

  • +1

    You should fix your system so the bonus Z points are more accurate.

    My last order with the July special was "Spend $300+ (after any discounts) to get $65 back as Z Points" I spent $350 and received only 6500 points, whereas if I had ordered $300 in a single order and $50 in another, it would have been 6650 points. It's a minor thing but slightly annoying.

    • Thanks for raising this @bikboy That's a valid point.

      Ok I will take note of this and we will look into implementing a fix here. Please feel free to shoot over a message to Vanessa and she can sort this out on your account for you also.

      I'll give Vanessa a heads up also.

    • +1

      Thanks for asking @vinja

      This one did change, we had to change the flavour house that we were using as our original suppliers could no longer supply this. We did try to get the new flavour as close as possible to the original.

      Can you send through a message with your order details? We'll be happy to send out another flavour of your choice at our expense. I'm sorry this didn't live up to your expectations.

      I will certainly be passing this feedback over to our team for review. Thank you for asking and for sharing this.

      Jay

      • hey Jay thanks for the offer, i've just sent you a DM

        • No worries @vinja, Vanessa will look after you. Thanks again!

          Jay

  • Hi Jay. I’m ok for now. Just wanting to know when is your next WPI special like this, eg. Black Friday, so I can plan ahead?

    • @Cwt thanks for asking and for your interest.

      We do plan on doing a Black Friday promotion, but the particulars are not yet confirmed.

      WPI may be involved (as we have done in prior years), but this is dependent upon a few factors. They key one will be around adequate supply of raw materials, as we cannot run a large-scale promotion if we don't have a very significant amount of stock available. While this is likely the case, unforeseen circumstances can always arise and so I cannot definitely confirm that WPI will be the focus.

      Anyway, I hope this provides some insight here. Sorry I cannot provide any definites around this.

    Hey Jay,

    When you guys finish with the milk tea flavours can you do a deal like this or a sampling kinda deal so I can try all of them out? Very very keen to get some new milk tea brotein.

    As always, love the vid and will be putting an order in later.
