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)

  • In Stock: All Flavours

  • 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. 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.

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!

  • Still got some from last deal but couldn't resist stocking up. Thank you guys as always for the great deals definitely sorted for a whole now haha

    • Thanks again for ordering to stock up for more @BMX221 !

      Hope you're able to order and try our new flavours too :)

      • Vanessa
  • Placing an order for WPI but checking out pricing of other products as anew customer and noticed adding 5kg of WPC multi flavour doesn't give me the option to select flavours and just adds to cart with no selections, I am not actually ordering WPC so it is not affecting my order.

    • @BaryGusey thanks sharing this.

      With WPC, we have actually discontinued this and so there is only unflavoured remaining in stock. We decided to focus all our efforts on our WPI given how much more popular this has been relative to WPC.

      Thank you for the support of this deal and for the order!

      Jay

  • Thank you @aminozcomau , we keep supporting you! Another order placed :-)

    • Thanks @and! The support on here is incredible as always and our team is working their butts off to get all these orders out on time. Thank you so much for the support and the new order!

      Jay

  • Awesome, just ordered. Still have two bags left, but what great time to top up!

    Just curious if the formula has changed for the strawberry flavor; it seems to clump, and no matter what I do, I can't get it to mix properly, even in lukewarm water. It's the batch with the red zipper; all the previous strawberry batches were fine.

    • Thanks for the new order @ArtlessArt!

      The strawberry formulation hasn't changed recently and that is very helpful feedback.

      Would you mind sending through a direct message with your order number and the batch number of the strawberry that wasn't mixing as well? We'll be happy to send out a replacement. This will also be helpful so we can further investigate to try to figure out why this may be the case. I'll give Vanessa a heads up on this.

      Thank you again!

      Jay

  • Got 5kgs last time, 3kgs a month ago and 5kgs again…

    Got all the remaining samples from the flavours I didn't try yet as well, just confirming that this is refunded right?

    Thanks

    • +2

      Thank you for the new order @guieloi!

      For the samples, so long as you haven't ordered those sample flavours before, the full amount paid will be credited back to your account as Z Points (store credit). It's a maximum of 1 per flavour. To avoid any confusion, they won't be refunded but credited instead.

      I hope this clarifies. Thanks again for the ongoing support!

    As a Brazilian I can confirm that Brigadeiro tastes delicious!

      Thank you for the ongoing support of our brand!

  • Hi OP,
    I have 2 kgs left with best before Nov 24. Opened one bag, but smell of powder is a bit off. Not what I used 2 kgs last year.
    Do these go off? Should I discard these bags as I can't consume with that off taste?
    What's expiry date of these ones now?

    • +1

      Hi @EnALup, thanks for asking.

      As long as they have been stored in a cool and dry place, the powders should be good until their best before date. That said, if you have noticed the smell to be off, we'll be happy to send out a new bag at our cost. I would recommend to discard that product (we won't require it back given that it is quite old now and will be an older formulation).

      Would you mind sending through a direct message with your order details and also the batch number (so we can further investigate on our end)? I'll give Vanessa a heads up on this.

      The best before dates will be 18-24 months away for all our current stock as it's all been freshly produced.

      Thank you for bringing this to light and thanks also for the support of our brand!

      Jay

      • Thanks. Appreciate

  • I was down to my last bag and about to panic.

    You saved my gainz!

    • 😄 Great news, glad we got the timing right for you @MomoShoppingNow! Thanks for the ongoing support!

      Jay

  • New buyer. Looks like good quality stuff. Keen to try. Just ordered!

    • I really appreciate you giving us a go @stuckster!

      Since you're new with us, we have all our Amino Z branded products backed by our 110% Guarantee. So if you're unhappy with any of the products, please feel free to reach out and we'll be happy to replace (at our cost), or refund or give you 110% back in credit.

      Thank you for the order and I hope you like our product.

    Have you guys possibly thought about mango flavour? :)

    • +4

      @Crazyziano we have indeed. Actually we previously had a mango flavour when we were using stevia, but discontinued it because we transitioned over to thaumatin instead as a natural sweetener without the bitter aftertaste of stevia.

      You're not alone in terms of requesting a mango flavour as it is one of our top requested flavours to return. We have been working on this and while we don't yet have something good enough to re-release, we are getting close. We are hopeful to have a mango option in our range in the foreseeable future, but that will ultimately depend on when we get our formulation 100% ready.

      Thank you for sharing, I really appreciate the input!

    I'm a very skinny guy in his 40s. I have never been able to gain weight. Will this make me bigger?

    • +4

      I would suggest you doing a bit more research

    • +3

      Thanks for your interest @BluebirdV.

      This product alone will not. If you're looking to gain weight, you will need to take a look at your exercise and dietary habits and look to develop a caloric surplus.

      WPI in itself is not a very high calorie food. It's low in carbs and fats and high in protein. While it may help with recovery after a workout (which is a common use case), I would primarily be looking towards consuming more calories from healthy food sources. Once you have a healthy and well-rounded diet in place, if you're still unable to gain weight, you may wish to consider a weight gainer product as a supplement to help boost your caloric intake (eg. this is ours)

      I understand this is very broad feedback, but your specific requirements will be very dependent on your individual needs (lifestyle, exercise, specific body requirements etc), so I can't exactly get prescriptive here and would recommend seeking professional advice and doing your own research to better understand what would be necessary for you here. I do however hope that this can be of some assistance, at least as a high-level starting point.

      Thanks for your interest in our range!

      Jay

        WPI in itself is not a very high calorie food

        I'm a little curious about this as your offerings per 100g are between 374.8 to 390.8 cal, while your gainers are 374.6 to 379.5 cal

        While I understand the ratios of macros are quite different, the stand out difference simply seems to be the serving sizes for the gainers being much larger.

        So I could simply have ~4 servings of your WPI and hit similar calories (depending on flavour).

        Is it an unfavourable idea to be having such high ratios of protein/is there a notable advantage to having a higher ratio of carbs for gaining weight?

        Could you speak to this? I'm mostly curious due to the much more broad and appealing range of flavours for WPI (especially noting the couple with caffeine to boot!)

        PS how are your products in terms of lactose intolerant individuals and those with sensitives to FODMAP foods?

        • +2

          Hi @ilu

          So perhaps I didn't word that in the best way possible. You're right in terms of the calories per 100g and it will ultimately boil down to the serving sizes.

          Weight gainers will typically have a much lower percentage of protein. For example, ours are 36-39% protein. Those other calories are contributed primarily from additional carbs and a bit from the MCT's added in.

          Technically yes, you could opt for around 4 servings of WPI, but then you would be consuming around 100g of protein in a single hit, which is likely going to be excessive. I'm unsure as to why there would be the need to consume 100g of protein in a single hit. So to your point, yes, a gainer will offer a more favourable macronutrient ratio for someone who wants the additional calories.

          That said, WPI is a key ingredient in our gainer and you can effectively create your own version if you did want to use WPI for convenience. For example, you can mix in WPI, oats, LSA/nuts/nut butter. The protein can of course be sourced from whole foods too, this is just an example using WPI.

          In terms of lactose in our products, our WPI is a milk derived product and will contain up to 1.2% lactose, which will equate to around 0.4g per serve. If you cannot tolerate any lactose, I would advise to avoid this product and instead consider a lactose-free option such as our Vegan Protein.

          In terms of FODMAP foods, whey itself is a milk derived product with some lactose as mentioned, but as WPI does have a relatively low amount of lactose, my understanding is that it is considered low FODMAP. I would be considering the two new cookie flavours as they will contain some cookie crumbs in them.

          I hope this assists, thanks for your interest!

  • Any recommendations on flavours? I love the coconut icecream. which others are better? If I do not like a flavour, can I return it for something else in excahnge?

    • Thanks for your interest in another order with us @accessdenied!

      In terms of flavour popularity, our top flavour options are Chocolate, Vanilla, Aussie Choc Malt, Iced Coffee and Brazilian Chocolate (Brigadeiro) (which recently overtook Matcha).

      That said, Cookies and Cream has just been released and is one of our top flavours. I personally highly recommend this, but note that there are a few more carbs in this flavour (refer to the nutritional table in my original post above).

      If you don't like any flavour, yes you can take advantage of our 110% Guarantee. If you're unhappy with any of the products, please feel free to reach out and we'll be happy to replace (at our cost), or refund or give you 110% back in credit.

      Thanks again!

      Jay

  • Thankyou! I have been out for a couple of weeks now and I've had to live off off crappy musashi's 100% I bought on sale because I wanted to wait for this sale to buy it in bulk… 5kg ordered. Thanks again!

    • Thanks for the new order @Tythefly86!! Always appreciated.

      Jay

  • Hey may I know the dimensions of the box you'll use to ship 4kg whey + 1kg creatine? I'm trying to figure out if this will fit in an auspost parcel locker. Would it be larger than 35 x 44 x 61cm? Thanks

    • +2

      @Undercut 2241 I can confirm that the box we would use is 32cm x 32cm x 33cm, so yes, it would be smaller than those dimensions you have quoted.

      Thanks for asking!

      Jay

  • What's the craze? Why so many people like this?

    • Thanks for your interest @Poor Ass!

      I'm obviously biased as the business owner, but we have been blessed with the amazing support we continue to receive on OzBargain. This has been particularly true with our protein deals that we post up a few times a year.

      We've been trying to lean into a really unique and extensive flavour range that provides a healthier option to the real thing (ie. without all the refined sugars and fat of an equivalent milkshake for example). So ultimately that's how we've been trying to differentiate our offering and we have been blessed with the feedback we receive. Ultimately we get plenty of suggestions for improvement too - it's not always overwhelmingly positive!

      I'd recommend checking the discussion in this deal and also in prior deals. But I do greatly appreciate you taking a look into us.

      • some reason get bloated with protein powders

    • +1

      value and flavour are hard to beat with protein powders suffering a significant price increase in recent years sadly.

    • +6

      Because it's good quality protein at a fair price.
      I guess building muscle mass and training recovery is important to a good percentage of the OZB community, which is good to see.

  • Loved seeing another amino z whey deal on my feed.
    I’ve ordered 5kg on all the previous promotions too.

    I’ve tried a few flavours and my favourite is definitely indulgent white choclate. The others have all been great too. Little disappointed with the Aussie choc malt, had 1 scoop of it and never had it again. Most people here seems to love it though, might just be me 🤷‍♂️

    Ordered some melon milk this time as it seems to be popular, looking forward to it!

    I would like to ask if you plan on ever doing a deal like this in the future with increased quantity?

    I see the bonus z points are always capped at 5kg. I’d be happy ordering 10-20kg at a time as I go through them pretty quickly 😅

    • +1

      Thanks for the feedback @seramo!

      I'm really happy to read that you've been happy with those flavours, but sorry about the Aussie Choc Malt that you've been disappointed with. Can you send over a direct message to us? We can replace it with any flavour of your choice (at our cost) - and no need to return it either. I'll give Vanessa a heads up on this.

      We have had a few requests this deal for an increased quantity option. We will be considering this. For this deal we have capped it at 5kg mainly because we likely won't have the stock available to accommodate for many significantly larger orders. But this is not off the cards for future deals.

      Thanks also for the new order!

      Jay

  • great customer services and love the products :D
    Gonna stock up ../..

    • Thanks for the ongoing support and the kind words @sicinadan!

      Jay

  • First ordered from AminoZ back in 2015! Been an CZ member since Feb 2020, seriously the best value supplier around and it's been great watching them improve their products over the years. Here's to another order!

      Wow, that's almost a decade…our products have certainly gone through some major changes since then. Thank you so much for supporting our business for so long, I really appreciate it @YELNATS!

  • Hi, just to confirm - I am not currently a paid member of the site and never have been / have never purchased. Am I not eligible for the $50 credit?

    • +1

      Thanks for asking @mickop

      I can confirm that you will be eligible for the $50 credit on 4kg of WPI as a new customer for this deal. You don't need to be a paid member, nor have purchased from us before to qualify for this.

      Thank you for your interest in our brand!

      Jay

      • Thanks Jay! And if I were to purchase now, would I still get a $55 credit on a future purchase assuming this promotion comes back with the same terms later on? Or would I need to be a paid member to get a credit at that point?

        • You're correct in that if you place a purchase now, should we do a similar offer in the future, you will receive the bonus credit as a repeat purchaser (in this deal is $55).

          You do not need to be a paid Club Z member. This is only optional for the top credit tier.

          I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any other queries.

          Jay

  • -2

    do only people that go to gym drink these?

    • @Poor Ass no not necessarily. They are often used after exercise, but also as lower calorie/healthier options to high calorie foods (eg. a chocolate milkshake). A lot of people will also use a protein powder if they are deficient in their typical protein intake (for example, this can be the case if your diet is primarily plant based/vegetarian).

      Jay

  • Hi Jay,

    I ordered 5kg WPI yesterday, and would like to replace the iced chai latte with chocolate. Could you please assist? the order number is #109959818. Thank you :)

    • Hi @Gyudonburi, would you mind sending through a direct message so Vanessa can check this out to ensure it's not yet packed off? I'll give her a heads up right now also. Thanks in advance!

      Jay

    • @Gyudonburi Vanessa has let me know that it's currently being worked on and our team will be back in touch with you shortly. Thanks for the order!

      Jay

      • Thanks Jay, looking forward to receive them :)

  • i've ordered, can we please have a deal on pre-workout next, thanks.

    • Thanks for the order @thydzik!

      We do plan on doing a pre workout promotion again, we just don't have a confirmed date as of yet. Your request is noted though, thank you for the feedback!

    Thanks for a ripper deal, once again. I love how "full disclosure" you guys are about your product and ingredients - it helps us make truly informed decisions about what we're buying and consuming.

      Thanks for the feedback @penno2! I appreciate the insight and the support!

      Jay

  • @aminozcomau can I place multiple orders and take advantage of the offer multiple times?

    • +1

      Thanks for asking @Ace26.

      In a nutshell, no. The store credit will be capped at a maximum of the 5kg offer per person. So if you wanted more than 5kg, you may as well put it all into the single order to get the lowest price/kg and the full store credit amount. It's not going to be sustainable for us to offer multiple lots of store credit per person.

      Thank you for the support of the deal!

      Jay

      • Thanks Jay

  • Hi there,

    Which one do you recommend if i want mass gainer? To gain weight quickly?

    Im new to this

    Thanks

    • +1

      Thanks for the question @vn02063007.

      If you're looking specifically for a gainer, we have our Amino Z Gainer which is going to be higher in total calories per serve with additional carbs and fats.

      Start off with looking at your diet and bump up your caloric intake through food and a healthy diet. A gainer should compliment this as it's more a convenience product to get extra calories in and supplement your diet.

      I hope this helps and thanks for your interest!

      Jay

  • when is the amino z testosterone coming back?

    • @AdHod we have no firm plans around this one returning I'm afraid. Due to constrained resources, we have shifted our focus exclusively to powdered products and particularly our protein range. Else we found that we were just spread too thin otherwise.

      Thanks for your interest!

      Jay

    Hi aminoz,

    I'm also eagerly awaiting the bubble tea flavour amongst many others - hope there's a similar deal when it releases 🙏

    • Thanks @chickens! There have certainly been a number of requests around this one!

      I appreciate the support!

      Jay

  • 1st time ordering. Usually buy from Bulk Nutrients their WPI plain and iced coffee.
    Order 1kg x plain & 1kg x Creme Caramel + 1 x sample of every flavor available to get a taste of the others (seems a safe way to do it).
    order is #xxxxx1131
    If the OzB community call it a good deal and trust the product, then I'll join in for a dance.

    • +1

      Thanks for giving us a go @nonpop! I really appreciate the order and please don't hesitate to reach out to our team should you need anything.

      • They arrived and all well. Liked the Creme Caramel very much (using a 50/50 blend plain / flavoured).
        Have now just ordered 2 x 1kg Creatine of your brand to now try on order #xxxxx2637

        • Fantastic, I'm glad you like the Creme Caramel @nonpop

          Thank you for the new order!

          Jay

  • Just placed an order for 5kg as an existing customer.

    Thanks for the great deal Jay.

      Thanks for sharing this @squeeb, you've been through a lot! I'll be passing this along to our team, this is great insight.

      Also FYI, we are in the process of redeveloping our Strawberry :)

      Jay

      • Strawberry flavour is my favourite. When will the new strawberry formula protein come out?

        • +1

          @EnALup it will likely be in 3-4 months as our team just tried the final prototype last week and we unanimously agreed it was a notable improvement on the current version. The new version is much closer to a strawberry milkshake.

          We will still be producing the current version for now as there is a very long lead time to order in the updated flavouring and then to actually produce it.

          Jay

    • +1

      Everyone has different taste. Taro and Pandan were not up to the hype for me 5/10. Cherry delight is best taste so far for me 8/10. Trying the 5 new coming flavours

    • +2

      Maybe I should give Creme caramel a second chance based on your rating.

      S tier: Cookies and Cream Ice Cream, Indulgent White chocolate, Brazilian chocolate, Choc Cherry Delight, New Aussie Choc Malt
      A tier: Chocolate, Coffs Harbour Choc Banana, Fruity Cereal Milk, Matcha, Melon Milk, Mint Choc Chip, Mint Cookie Crunch, Neapolitan, Smooth Milk Chocolate, Pandan
      B tier: Taro, Vanilla Creamy, Banana, Strawberry, Chocolate Caramel
      C tier: Cinnamon Icing, Iced Chai latte, Creme Caramel, Choc Honeycomb, Choc Coconut
      D tier (all discontinued lol): Chocolate Hazelnut, Choc Orange, Old Aussie Choc Malt

      Newest flavours have been crazy good IMO, I hope they bring back the Choc PB and Mango Sorbet flavours one day

        This is awesome feedback, thanks for sharing @johndoe and I'll be showing this to the team for insight.

        Hi Jay. Got my order and love the new bags. They are much easier to poor into a container. Great work! One thing I would like to know is if the bags are able to be recycled? I can't see any info on the bags about disposal… Thanks

        • tell me too

        • Sorry @Tythefly86 I missed this previously amongst all the comments.

          Great feedback on the bags, most appreciated and I will share this with the team. The bags cannot be recycled however, they do need to be thrown away.

  • I had issues years ago when I used Protein powder WPI from Amino Z. I think it was the sweetner. Any recommendation with less artificial sweetner.

    • @AeyJey thanks for having tried our products.

      If you tried our product years ago, it would have been using a different sweetener to what we currently use. Previously we used stevia, but we have moved our entire WPI range to thaumatin, which is a natural sweetener. We do not use artificial sweeteners in any of our Amino Z branded products.

      If you decide to give our range another go, we will back it with our 110% Guarantee. So if you don't like it, we'll happily replace (at our cost), refund or provide you with 110% back in store credit.

      Thanks for your interest!
