WheyUP

Product Type:Functional: Energy Drink: Regular; Container: 16 fl oz
BevNET Review: Repackaged and reformulated, the Wild Berry flavor of Whey Up is significantly improved over previous versions that we sampled. The product packs 20g of protein (with 90 calories and only 1 carb), B vitamins, calcium, and caffeine into each 16 oz bottle. The flavor has noticeable traces of the whey protein and sucralose, but they've improved the berry flavor to the point where the aftertaste has been reduced. On the outside, we like the concept of the new look, but the execution is a bit off. Specifically the entire bottle is wrapped, including the top portion of the bottle, which uses a less than attractive clear plastic wrap. These two points aside, this is definitely one of the more palatable protein drinks out there, plus we like the "2 drinks in 1" approach with the added energy. Overall, an enjoyable product that needs a few minor improvements.

BevNET Review: The new addition to the Whey Up lineup is Tropical Citrus which, like its counterpart, features 20g of whey protein in a sugar free formulation. We enjoyed this flavor over the Wild Berry, mainly because the naturally acidic flavor of the citrus flavor helps cut the pasty flavor of the protein. The result is an enjoyable fruit flavor that has slightly less aftertaste. Packaging is really what needs the most improvement, with the full wrap bottle ending up looking a bit sloppy. Overall, improved taste and packaging, but it still needs a little more to cross the finish line.
