Black Belt Protein

This is my go to brand for protein. I mainly get vanilla for my breakfast yoghurt, but I also love protella and glazed donut. Would love to see caramelised biscuit!!

I really wanted to love this protein powder because the macros and protein content are genuinely great, but the flavour was really disappointing for me. I bought it specifically for the chocolate hazelnut flavour because I wanted something different from the usual plain chocolate proteins, but honestly the flavour just isn’t there. The smell has… Read more

a nice hazelnut scent, but the actual taste is extremely weak and mostly just tastes like a very mild chocolate protein.

I even mixed it with 300ml milk and 300ml water to try and get the full flavour experience, and I could honestly taste the milk more than the protein powder itself.

To make it enjoyable, I’ve had to start adding cocoa/cacao powder for extra flavour, which kind of defeats the purpose of buying a flavoured protein in the first place.

It mixes fine and the macros are excellent, but if you’re buying this mainly for the choc hazelnut flavour, just be aware it’s very subtle.

50% of the time Blackbelt Protein delivers every time – Roll the dice! It'll probably be great- the protein after all is pretty good value for money BUT, wait until they screw up, OH MAN, they screwed up?? What are the chances the protein company sends the wrong protein? HIGH, they CONSTANTLY SEND THE WRONG PROTEIN FLAVOURS. No problem, free returns right? Technically yes- but paying for packaging to… Read more

return their mistake while I p*ss my time away pushing for an outcome is not how I want to live.

Here's how it goes down every time there's an issue.

start of month. Ordered 4x WPI for $110. They screwed up- wrong flavour. I contact support. First thing they want is their protein back even though it's open. Sadly AusPost don't come pick stuff up and return it- better start the car, go to the post office, grab some change since now we need packaging,... I send it immediately. 3 weeks pass. They have their protein back, I don't have mine. Better send another email. A half apology is received- it contains no protein or micronutrients though, so I would probably prefer the protein company sends my protein.

Luckily the 9th email confirmed that they sent it and the tracking is probably in my junk mail because I don't understand how email works. No email tracking, but I do make a note of the day and time so I check the tracking and find they didn't send it til days later. But the day arrives.,... and there's a delivery slip- so I drive back to the post office and finally get my protein 1 month later.

Hasn't happened to you? That's great! It probably won't happen. Probably

PROS: protein is good CONS: amateur hour, learn customer service skills

Great supplements and an amazing price – I have just placed my second order through blackbelt as they had a great bundle deal with their whey, aminos and pre. I still have half of my first order that I am working through and it is amazing. Tastes great, mixes effortlessly and looking at the ingredients list - is exactly what you want when buying these products. I really like the range… Read more

of products they have catering for cheat days, plant based diets and the fact you can categorise by your personal goals. the website is great and easy to use too, with navigation and purchase being easy.

Shipping times so far have been excellent and accurate and I have every confidence with the procedures in place to make sure orders are picked and packed accurately and will arrive when advised.

After going to local supplement stores I am still baffled at how something this good can be so cheap but I can assure you it is! I now have a cupboard full and when that gets low I will definitely be ordering again!

Managing director reached out to rectify an issue – UPDATE: The managing director of the company reached out personally and apologised profusely for how the staff member poorly handled my complaint, and offered to uphold the deal offered. I don't need the protein yet, so I can't comment on how it tastes, but if the guy who runs the business is willing to reach out personally to rectify things for… Read more

me, that's a big positive.

I've updated the rating from a 1 star (for the reasons below) to a 4 star. I'll update again when I've tried the protein out.

--------------- Original review: 'Terrible service - false advertising and won't honour deal' Blackbelt had a paid advertising campaign for 6kg of WPI for $99 which they refused to honour. --- Tues, 18 Feb: Emailed asking how I get the deal because I couldn't find it after clicking the Google ad. Got a response the same day that my query would be passed on to the appropriate team. Fri, 21 Feb: Emailed asking if they'd gotten a response Mon, 24 Feb: Reply saying the ad is obsolete and they'l take the ad down. Offered me 10% off my next order. Thurs, 27 Feb: I respond as I saw the Google ad again, and insist that they honour the deal on their ad, linking to the ACCC website about false advertising if they don't honour what's advertised. Also sent a video showing that it takes me to the WPC section of their site and that the deal isn't actually claimable. Tues & Wed, 3 & 4 March: Claimed it takes time to remove the ad from Google and would forward my email to appropriate department. Claimed the "advertising department is working with google to remove the banner" and because it's a "3rd party platform" it "may take sometime before it full gets removed" and said they can't offer that price anymore. Wed, 4 March: I respond with a screenshot that the ad is still up - 15 days after my first email and 9 days since they said they would take the ad down. I included specific sections from the ACCC website, such as: "It makes no difference whether the business intended to mislead you or not. If the overall impression left by a business’s advertisement, promotion, quotation, statement or other representation creates a misleading impression in your mindsuch as to the price, value or the quality of any goods and servicesthen the behaviour is likely to breach the law." I sent links to Google Support which show how to take an ad down (which may take 12-24 hours to take effect) and called them out for being deceitful / misleading me. I asked again for them to honour the deal in their ad. Fri, 6 March: They close my query with no further response.

....yet, I am on their mailing list and get emails with better offers than they initially offered to me. If they honoured their deal, they may have swayed me away from Venom Protein, but this experience convinced me that Venom is not only better value, but better service.

Been using BlackBelt for a while now and always solid. WPI is clean, mixes easy, no bloating. Chocolate tastes good without being overly sweet. Good value for money compared to other brands. Delivery’s been quick every time. Also using their creatine is simple, no issues. Will keep buying.

3rd time coming back in 5 weeks. Best company on the market, best prices. I’ll definitely keep coming back. Glazed doughnuts is my fave protein power of all time

I have been using Black Belt Protein for about 3 years. The price is well below similar products and the company is Australian. The flavours are great and the service and delivery have always been great. Totally recommended.

Was going to buy something from there website but there payment page wouldn't work ( tried to click on the " place order " button but nothing happened). I then did a search on Facebook and seen all the negative reviews about there product ( protein powders ) and I feel so lucky the payment didn't work now. Don't get stung buying there protein, will be the worst mistake you make

Good for a try and price – Flavour needs working on but for the price per serve and amount of protein, you can't go wrong. Add a tsp of vanilla essence to vanilla or a small spoon of Nutella to the protella. Use a small amount hot water to mix and then add cold water/milk and ice.

Don’t recommend – Disappointed in the protein flavours. Purchased the Protella and it tastes nothing like Nutella and lacking any flavour as well as the Peanut Butter Chocolate and didn’t bother trying the Choc Caramel. They have a very odd smell to them as well and almost like a chemical taste.. To be honest this would have to be the worst protein powder I’ve ever… Read more

tried and won’t purchase from them again. Refunded for the protein powder but very difficult in getting a response through emails so had to continually message through product review just to get a response from them. Makes me wonder if the positive reviews are fake!

Just want to say a massive thank you for actually having affordable prices and the fast shipping. Have ordered multiple times now and you guys never disappoint. Do not hesitate to buy from these guys they are amazing and ive used over 5+ different supplement places and the prices from black belt are unbeaten and quality is amazing. Thanks guys :)

I googled my butt off to find the best price for the best products. After reading through all the specials online shops were offering, it worked out by far Black Belt Protein had the best prices and product without the specials. Lots of information on their site. I'm taking their product to lower my cholesterol. Protein content is excellent. Great range and easy to navigate. Took me days of reading and comparing heaps of sites.

I found your excellent website to be most informative & provided the best value for money product I was searching for. We very much look forward to trying your creatine - I'll have no hesitation in using BBP in future & also recommending your products to colleagues...keep up the great work! Cheerz Shane

Hands down one of the nicest tasting proteins I tried over the last 10 years. Mixes perfectly with oats. It's not too sweet and the consistency is perfect. Thanks!

After a little hiccup during ordering that was immediately rectified I got my protella flavoured protein powdernot gonna lie, it's absolutely delicious!! I'm going to have to show restraint not to drink it all in a week lol

Top quality product. No bloating and no lethargy from their protein. I've been training for 10 years and Blackbelt is by far the best brand that I've used across the board. And they're Australian! You bloody ripper!

I’ve been using BBP products (WPI, BCAA’s and creatine) for a few years now and I can’t rate it highly enough! Everything tastes great and the quality is second to none

We are long time regulars of Blackbelt Protein. A solid part of the daily routine in our home. Great product, great taste, easy on our stomachs, and competitively priced. Service is excellent! I'll recommend every chance I get!

Good Stuff! – Easy to order. Prices are great. Was having trouble locating where to create an account. Only when placing an order I seen an option to create an account. Be good if this was on the front page, unless im not looking properly.

Never going back to other mass gainers – I have tried many mass gainers in the past. They have been both expensive and difficult to digest. Mass gainer XL from Black belt protein has by far been the best tasting and easiest to digest. It is also very good value for money.

Got here for the taste, stayed for the quality – Great tasting protein that actually hits your protein goal. No need to double scoop to get a decent amount of protein.

Superb – “Im glad i was introduced to BBP, what a great product! The flavours are outstanding with a big range of products. Wont hesitate to recommend to friends.”

Doesnt taste like Nutella – Protella..... great labelling and great marketing - unfortunately it tastes nothing like nutella. the taste is a little disappointing to be honest.
