Overview
HO’WHEY, powered by Muscle Magpie, is a
high quality, fast release whey protein formula that uses 100% premium whey.
HO’WHEY combines a specially developed blend of whey isolate, hydrolysed whey
and whey concentrate and is designed to give you an immediate supply of high
quality amino acids. Muscle Magpie insists on quality assurance as standard so
has further enhanced and fortified HO’WHEY with Glutamine, BCAA’s and Digestive
Enzymes.
Glutamine (4g per serving) is the most
abundant amino acid found in skeletal muscle. Glutamine gets depleted during
times of intense exercise and becomes conditionally essential. High levels of
Glutamine are vital for muscle health and recovery. BCAA’s [Branched Chain
Amino Acids] (5g per serving) are considered to be the most crucial amino acids
for athletes. We have strengthened HO’WHEY with BCAA’s to ensure that there is
a sufficient pool of these vital amino acids. Digestive Enzymes (50mg per
serving) have been added to HO’WHEY in order to maximize and magnify absorption.
With 22g high quality protein per serving,
this low carb, low calorie, low fat, protein shake will tick all the boxes for
you!
Nutritional
Information
22g of protein from Whey Concentrate,
Isolate and Hydrolysed Whey. The protein has been fortified with glutamine and
BCAAs. The carbs (1.7g) and fats (2g) are kept low to fit in with any diet plan. Although the Sugars are
less than 1.5g it would have been nice to see just Stevia used - although trace amounts of sucralose isn’t going to hurt too much.
Although no creatine has been included you
do receive Glutamine in a fairly strong dose and a digestive enzyme to make
sure you absorb as much as possible.
Taste
We have tried all 5 flavours Chocolate,
Mint Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry & Banana. All of them are very pleasant
to drink but the Mint Chocolate does have a slight aftertaste which is a shame
because it tastes like melted Mint Aero. There isn’t really a weak flavour
among them but if I had to rank them I’d say the Banana is the best. All of
them mix well in a standard shaker in single or double servings and apart from
the mint chocolate none of them have an aftertaste.
Side
Effects
None
Price
£27.99 for a tub with 30 servings. If you
use code MAGPIE20 then you get 20% off making it a much better at £22.39 per tub.
Results
Muscle Magpie is a pure protein shake so
its not specifically designed for postworkout, fat loss or mass gain. Its basic
structure isn’t a drawback it just means that it can be used on any cycle to
help you hit your macros. The nutritional information itself is fairly good –
decent protein content, low fats, low carbs. The
Glutamine is nice addition as speeding up recovery will help with almost any
cycle. The extra BCAAs are a little bit overkill but they aren’t going to hurt
you. We never experienced any side effects with Ho’Whey so the digestive enzyme
must be working.
Ho’Whey tastes great in all its flavours but
I have to recommend the Banana, 350ml of water and a double scoop of Ho’Whey
and you have a high protein banana milkshake. The vanilla flavour was actually
very useful for baking protein treats.
Muscle Magpie have priced Ho’Whey
competitively but with the additional 20% discount code (MAGPIE20) it makes it
only £0.75 a serving which is excellent.
Ho’Whey is a great all round protein shake
that can be slotted into any diet to help fit your macros. 8/10
