MyProtein Flavdrops - The modern way of sweetening? (Review)

I tested Flavdrops for a really long time and very thoroughly. In today's review, you will learn whether it is worth investing in these products that promise "easydiet and can drive away sweet cravings without the guilt and excess calories.

What are Flavdrops for?

Flavdrops from Myprotein are primarily used to flavour or season drinks and meals. They have come to market to make weight loss easier for people who have a sweet tooth. Flavdrops therefore offer a great alternative to sweetening your diet as they contain no calories.

Nowadays, this trend has grown considerably and we can now find hundreds of recipes and ideas on how to use Flavdrops. They can be used to flavour fruit or milk protein shakes, they can be added to yoghurtor cottage cheese, or they can be added to more sophisticated recipes like cheesecake or other sweet desserts.

Ingredients

The ingredients of Flavdrops don 't vary much from variant to variant, so I decided to describe them more generally.

The primary ingredients used in Flavdrops are flavourings and flavourings. Depending on the flavour chosen , these ingredients can be of natural or artificial origin. Both variants are completely harmless to humans and do not interfere with the products in any way.

The sweetener used in Flavdrops is sucralose. You must have heard about this sweetener on our website, I have written about it many times. It is a very popular sweetener that can be found almost everywhere. Some studies claim that excessive consumption of sucralose causes excessive water retention in the bodyor even impairs the digestion of food, but these effects are not something you need to worry about as a regular consumer. You would have to consume an incredible amount of this sweetener for it to have a negative impact on your body.

For some of the flavors chosen, there are colorants like caramel, saffron, lemon, beetroot, curcumin and many more. Almost all of the dyes are naturally derived (the exception being the strawberry and raspberry flavors), which is the best option. For the chosen flavour chocolate we can find unspecified in the composition amount of caffeine, so I would appreciate it if the manufacturer at least wrote what amount is found here.

Of the Flavdrops ingredients, these are the most shielded points and now we can dive straight into the taste.

Flavdrops flavour reviews

We are getting to the main point, which is the reason why we buy Flavdrops in the first place, and that is the taste.

I have to start by saying that I wasn't expecting anything tasty at all, quite the opposite in fact. I was expecting a very chemical or bland taste. Nevertheless, in the end, the product pleasantly surprised me, because the taste of all variants was absolutely natural, and I did not encounter any exaggerated chemical overtones in any of them.

I have tried the Flavdrops in many foods or drinks, but I liked them the most in Greek white yoghurt, which they flavoured just perfectly. Personally, I liked the vanilla, strawberry and hazelnut flavours the best, however this opinion can be very subjective.

The flavours were tested mostly in 300 gram quantities of white yoghurt, to which I always added 10 drops of Flavdrops:

• Chocolate (7/10) is not too strong and tastes asleepThe final result is not bad at all. I recommend to add 100% cocoa to this flavour and you will get the perfect rich chocolatey sweet taste.
• Toffee (6/10) was quite a disappointment, after opening the package there was a pleasant lovecoffee aroma, however, once added to the yoghurt the taste was hard to identify. Only a strong sweet undertone could be smelt, but the Toffee flavour was almost impossible to find.
• Strawberry (9/10) is undoubtedly one of the most successful flavours. When added to white yoghurt, it produces the typical strawberry yoghurt you know from the store. The flavour is completely natural.
• Peanut Butter (5/10) is a flavour I'm not a big fan of. The smell and taste are not very strong and there is no trace of peanut butter. However, if you often make porridge with peanut butter or want a flavour peanut butter may be the right option for you.
• Maple (7/10), or maple syrup, is a very popular option. I have to say at the outset that I don't really like the flavour of maple syrup.d, but to keep an objective point of view, the smell and taste of maple syrup is really very recognizable. Aficionados will certainly enjoy it.
• Butter cookie (5/10), I rank this one right up there with the peanut butter flavor. Neither the aroma nor the taste are at all distinctive, they are rather chemical and taste-wise it is rather a flop. I had to force myself to test this flavour more than once.
• Cheesecake (6/10) pleasantly surprised me. I wasn't expecting much from this flavour, but I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed testing it. Taste-wise, it immediately reminded me of the real, unadulterated taste of cheesecake as we know it from the store. I don't really recommend it for drinks, yogurt or cottage cheese, but if you want to prepare cheesecake in a healthier way, it's the perfect choice.
• Peanut (9/10) is also one of the most successful flavours. The resulting flavor when added to the yogurt was a beautifully natural, nutty flavor. There was no chemical aftertaste. Plus, if you mix the nutty and chocolate flavours, you get a completely identical Nutella flavour in a healthier form.
• The marzipan (7/10) was rather disappointing. I don't recommend taking it on its own unless you really love the marzipan flavour. I personally wasn't impressed by the marzipan, but on the other hand I think it will definitely find its place in recipes. After tasting it, the marzipan flavour is easily recognisable.
• Vanilla (9/10) is definitely my favourite of all the flavours tested. The vanilla flavour is absolutely identical and when mixed with yoghurt, it literally creates a vanilla termix. There is no chemistry, quite the opposite. The flavour is completely natural. I definitely recommend this variant for all kinds of applications (recipes, cottage cheese, yogurt, etc.).
• The white chocolate (8/10) was also very good. The aroma and taste are subtle and natural. When mixed with yoghurt, it made a unique combination. I wouldn't be afraid of this variant in the future either and will definitely come back to it again.

Are Flavdrops expensive?

For one small 50 ml bottle, you'll pay approximately . Even with frequent consumption, one Flavdrops sweetener will last you several weeks or months.In the overall monthly budget, Flavdrops will be completely lost.

That's why, from my point of view, it is a relatively cheap investment that will sweeten unflavoured products and make any diet more enjoyable.

Final evaluation

Finally, we come to the final question. So is it worth investing in Myprotein Flavdrops? For me, definitely yes. Before testing, I myself was inclined to think that it was an unnecessary investment and not needed for a healthy lifestyle, which is true.

However, some of the flavours really are so hilarious that it would be a shame not to take advantage of them. I myself like to use them at the moment and it's quite nice to combine different flavours when I have so many options to choose from.

Products of this ilk are certainly not for everyone, but I can understand why they are becoming increasingly popular these days. And as for the ingredients, taste and price? Despite a few minor flaws, I have almost nothing to complain about MyProtein Flavdrops. I think it's a great buy that you won't regret in the end.

And that's all from today's review. If you have a favorite or another favorite brand of Flavdrops, feel free to drop us a line in the comments.
