I don’t used Horleys supps, but I was talking to a gym owner about a year ago, who is in his 60’s and claimed to have the inside word on Horleys and told me they use very inferior portein to keep their cost down. He told me Horleys whey protein wasn’t even whey. I don’t know if it’s true or not.
I don’t use Horleys purely because I got a free sample and it wouldn’t mix without a large blender.
I do use Horleys Replace drink powder, for electrolytes, but it has no protein.
I use Leppin Pro4 Protein, which tates really great, vanilla or choc, and mixes super easy, you bearly need to stir it. It is a combination of 4 types of protein.
They also do a Muscle version which has carbs in it.

Regarding Horleys, I think I used some of their “wieght gainer” type products about 10 years ago. Nasty taste, nasty consistency. All around nasty (IMO).

Kia Ora Lifer,
Most protein shakes tasted bad in those days anyway! I having using Horley’s ICE Whey recently - can’t say it is extremely effective but it tastes good IMO.

Horleys is owned by NZ Milk, a subsidary of Fonterra

I believe that Horleys is desighned for the supermarket shopping Mums on a diet week.
I have the same feeling about this shopping Mums thing too, perhaps Horleys can be found in Supermarket?

most supplemnet manufacturers want to place their prodcuts on the supermarket shelf. Bbrs are a small population, cant make money trying to rely on them alone. Miada, leppin etc included.
You’re from Ireland cycomiko, how do you know about a totaly NZ brand? The only way to buy Miada is by going to their store in Newton Rd AK or by ordering online at miada.co.nz. I’ll coment on Irish products if I ever have the chance to live their, but with the way the Lions play I wont be going any time soon
I did. Tastes nasty and doesn’t dissolve well. The 4kg bucket one do not have additional favour, which tastes even worse than the same stuff that comes in a smaller size with favour. I switched to Horley’s ICE whey from that just for the taste.
Since everyone on board is praising Miada, I may as well give it a try.
Do you travel alot, or just like messing with people?
Also, do you work for Horleys?

the world is my oyster
Dont work for horleys… they make some reasonable products, as do nutralife (whos flavouring seem odd as shit), leppin makes some nice but also has flavour issues… I have imported some from the states that taste good.
