All APOLLO Protein Powders Ranked
Hi all! HAPPY NEW YEAR! I’m excited to wrap up 2020 with my very first non-recipe blog post. I’ve always wanted to include random tips, life stories, and product ramblings in my blog, but never got to it. This feels like the exciting start of something new. Thanks to UNICO Nutrition for sponsoring this post! They wanted you to be able to get some protein too- discount code for 20% off their site is “peggy20”!
I was sent a sampler box from UNICO Nutrition so I could tell you all about their best-tasting protein powders. Their packaging is really cute! I found tasting and comparing the protein powders to be a fun at-home activity. The sample box comes with 8 different single servings of their APOLLO protein powder. I linked the flavors down below:
To make the shakes- just add 6-12 oz. milk to a packet of powder, then mix or shake! I used their fancy blender cup so shaking them was so easy. I felt like I was shaking out cocktails LOL You can also mix in other ingredients such as fruits, veggies, or spreads. Another really fun way to use these powders would be in cooking or baking. I can just imagine the fun pancake flavors that could be created.
Overall, I would say that they were better than I remember protein powders being. I love the creative dessert flavors and how easy it is to make the shakes. the blender bottle gets the shakes SO SMOOTH.
Back in the day, I would have never even looked at protein powders. However, age changed my body so much. There are days where my unhealthy eating catches up to me (cue sluggishness and fatigue) and I need to find healthier ways to satisfy my sweet tooth. These are the perfect low-carb sweet treat to do that.
My ranking (Please keep in mind that this is personal preference and everyone is different.):
8. Cinnamon Roll- actually does taste a little like a roll. not enough fragrant cinnamon flavors for me! also very sweet.
7. Chocolate PB- this felt more like chocolate powder and peanut powder. however, you could transform this by adding real peanut butter and cocoa powder.
6. Cookies n cream- real cookie bits inside! just doesn’t quite taste like it. maybe the cream wasn’t bright or sweet enough?
5. Vanilla- Tasted fairly standard for a vanilla protein powder, but perfect as a base to add mix-ins to
4. Salted Caramel- More savory than the rest, but I like that?
3. Banana- LITERALLY TASTES LIKE BANANA CREAM PIE! Almost no protein powder flavor. Amazing.
2. Chocolate Lava- Much more chocolatey compared to the chocolate pb flavor. Cannot go wrong.
1. Birthday Cake- If you like eating cake batter then get this. It is EXACTLY like it, all the way down to the battery feeling. It even has fun sprinkles to give it a little birthday magic. Btw, real cake batter shouldn’t be eaten because of raw eggs. Drink this instead!
Have you tried UNICO’s protein powders? What are your favorite flavors?
