When it comes to the world of protein and supplements, Ghost is said to be one of the best. Their flavorsome protein powders are considered to be the standard against which other such companies are measured by most consumers. To no one’s surprise, the launch of Ghost Whey Oreo Protein Powder created a huge buzz in the market. While a large number of market consumers became (and are becoming) instant fans of the product, many felt (and still feel) it to be a disappointment, as compared to other protein powders already available in the market.

GHOST Whey x Oreo Protein Powder Review

In this article, we review this Ghost Whey Oreo Protein Powder against a list of parameters, and list down all the positive reviews, along with the critical ones, that consumers have felt on a general level. The review has been done after collecting information from various sources and doing adequate research. However, these reviews are objective and usually vary from one individual to another.

Cost and Value

The price of a product is the first thing any average consumer notices during the purchase process. We tend to buy a product only if we find that the price we are paying for it is at least equal to the value we get from the purchase. None of us are a fan of buying something expensive and unworthy.

So, we start this article by reviewing the oreo protein shake based on its pricing in the market. For those unaware, a 25g pack of oreo protein powder costs almost $40.

• This 25 g packet gives almost 26 servings (1 serving is 39g) to an individual, so investing in one pack is nothing less than investing in 26 meals (if you use the powder in baked goods and other forms, as a meal supplement). Moreover, $40 for 26 meals – costly or not?
• Yet, many people do negatively review the product, calling it ‘overpriced for a whey blend that includes cheap whey concentrate protein’.

Nutritional Value

The nutritional value of any food item we consume is quite essential to know. Many times the products that might seem healthy and nutritional tend to be a disaster for the body. Therefore, you must be thorough with the nutrients you intake from your oreo protein powder as well.

• A 25g pack of oreo protein powder contains 25G (or more) of the purest, fully disclosed whey protein on the market. It has 90% whey protein isolate, along with 80% whey protein concentrate & hydrolyzed whey protein isolate. When mixed with water, we find that the oreo protein powder has 150 calories per serving and only 3 g of sugar!
• Furthermore, it has 2g of fat, and 1g of fiber, along with 7g of carbs.
• Outside of these, the product also contains 10% of your recommended daily intake of calcium and 6% of your iron. To cater to the needs of consumers with a more restrictive diet, the product has 40 mg of cholesterol, which is almost 13% of the recommended daily intake, and 160mg of sodium, ie., 7% of the average daily intake.
• Although a significant number of consumers use it dissolved in their milk, in the form of a protein shake, you should keep in mind the added calories, fats, and sugars that come in in this process. However, this is not much of a problem usually, since you can get at least half of your daily protein intake from one such protein shake, which when combined with a reasonable diet, pushes you to reach your daily protein goal quite easily. Plus, protein powder does taste at least 10 times better in milk than in water- so you are good to go!

Taste

We all can talk on and on about how we consume a food item for its nutritional value, and to make ourselves fitter. But still, it all comes down to the taste of the product – the most important food criterion! Most of us will not put anything in our mouth that our taste buds revolt against, no matter how healthy it might be. If someone does force himself to do the same, he/she will have a torturous and disgusted expression on their face!

So, the taste is the one, most essential criterion it all comes down to. Now, we check if the oreo protein powder is tasty, or if it’s only healthy.

• The taste of oreo in a protein powder is usually loved by all consumers. While on one side, many tend to get the motivation to drink protein shakes, etc. just because of the oreo flavor, on the other side, people call the powder a huge disappointment due to a lack of flavor.
• When the powder is added in the adequate water to protein powder ratio, as preferred by an individual, the base taste of the powder is said to be a deliciously addictive semi-milky, creamy flavor with a touch of rich chocolate. If the balance is more water than powder, the taste of the cookie bits is said to pop and stand out a bit more.
• To add further value, the powder comes with some chunks of actual oreo added to it, which makes it quite flavorsome and gives it quite an authentic flavor. However, the opinions of people are divided on this aspect as well. While many love these crunchy bits that suddenly pop into their mouths and give them an authentic oreo taste, a different section of people disregard the product due to the same reason, finding the crunchy texture quite annoying and difficult to chew.
• A customer has also reviewed it saying that the product is ‘as if you took the milk you dunked a row of Oreos in, added some protein to it, and elevated it to a 12’.
• Some review the product saying that its aftertaste is very strong, unlike other protein powders, which makes the product a failure for them.

Usage

Most of us like to know the diverse applications of any food ingredient that we buy. We tend to lean toward those products that we might be able to use in a variety of ways, be it in their raw form, or as an additive ingredient. All of us dismiss products that have a limited number of uses, calling such things a waste of our money.

Therefore, like most of the protein supplements available in the market today, Ghost Whey Oreo Protein Powder has been made keeping in mind a versatile behavior in its usage.

• While some add it to their oats and pancakes, many others use the ingredient in their healthy, protein-based ice cream, smoothies, and other baked goods.
• The powder is widely used to add protein value to milkshakes and is preferred by the parents of a lot of teenagers who wish to add more protein to their children’s diet. However, these beverages are not recommended for younger children. While many consumers absolutely love these protein shakes and consume them daily, others call them too thick and dismiss the product. Many advise to drink the protein shake shortly after mixing it with water, as when it sits for too long, not only do the Oreo pieces lose their crunch but some of their flavors too.
• Some consumers even use it to add some nutritional value to their morning coffee. All you have to do is stir the powder occasionally in the liquid, such that it does not settle at the bottom of your cup. Adding the powder usually gives the beverage a slight vanilla mocha flavor. Not only does this help you take your daily intake of caffeine and protein in one go, but it also makes for a wholesome breakfast that can keep you full till lunch.
• Many also add this powder to their iced coffee. However, you must remember to shake the beverage well after, to ensure that the protein powder dissolves completely.
• Quite a lot of people also review the product by saying it is apt to replenish the body after gym workout sessions.
• One can also consume it safely at night, as during the morning. It is recommended to mix the powder into something with fewer carbs and more fat, like yogurt, or simply in water when consuming at night or during a period of low activity.

Health Benefits

Knowing about all aspects of the product is not enough, it is always crucial to know the actual impact the item might have on your body.

• The powder is said to help digest protein and minimize gassiness
• Consuming it has also been linked to reduced inflammation and soreness after exercise.
• The product does not spike a consumer’s insulin, since it is soy and gluten-free, unlike many other protein powders.
• The product is low in the typical allergens like soy, corn, or gluten, and the presence of lactase should also help the lactose intolerant.
• Consumers who dislike artificial sweeteners should know that this oreo powder does contain sucralose. However, it does not contain any other sweeteners, like acesulfame potassium, which is said to be worse, and yet is present in a large number of protein powders available in the market today.

Overall appearance and packaging

Although protein powders and other supplements are just bought for their health benefits, the overall packaging and appearance of the product play a very important role in deciding to purchase the same. Many buy products just because they love the look of them!

Moreover, sometimes expensive items turn to waste due to poor packaging. Therefore, the ease of using the product, and storing it for future purposes, all depend on the packaging, which is an important aspect that should not be ignored.

• In a time when most protein powders come in serious black tubs emblazoned with block letters and terms like “ultra-premium” and “extreme muscle,” Ghost stands out in a cream-colored tub with ghosts, monkeys, and funky, graffiti-like branding scrawled across it. It attracts most consumers at first glance, especially catching the eye of the energetic youth.
• The packet features a 100% transparent label that fully discloses the dose of each active ingredient. Zero proprietary blends confirm that you know what you are getting in each scoop.
• Moreover, it comes in a convenient and easy-to-use box, which can be opened, closed, and stored effortlessly.

To end, keep in mind that every individual has his own likes and dislikes, own taste buds, own expectations, and nutritional goals to fulfill. A product you might love and consume daily might be the same thing your friend tried and vomited!

So, it is advisable that you should do adequate research before trying a new product, read all its ingredients and other descriptions on its packet, and figure out if it might be suitable for you or not. You can always do a market survey to understand the opinions and reviews others hold of the product, but you should not stick to any of them. Only when you try something for yourself will you be able to understand if you are in the section of the society that thanks God for the launch of the product, or if you are in the section that will be dumping it into the bin right away!
