Mass Gainer NZ

Mass gainers are higher calorie than regular protein shakes so they're suitable for supporting mass gain.

The extra calories may also be beneficial for post exercise recovery as they can provide an extra boost of energy.

We've developed this product a little differently though...

All of our other protein powders are so clean that we thought we'd develop one that can be used as a cheat-shake treat as well. (Don't worry, we won't tell anyone).

It's a bit bad, but it's really good! And we've done it this way on purpose.

Our mass gainer protein is a big thick-shake. But a real thick-shake - the kind you get at your favourite burger shop. It's seriously big.

It's mandatory, therefore, to mix this product with ice cold water or milk.

You'll want to make sure that you have a big shaker too. Our Wave XL shaker is the best for this because each serving is 100 grams.

Mass Gainer Vs Whey

The main difference between mass gainers and whey protein shakes is that mass gainers have more calories.

The extra calories may be beneficial for those who have a difficult time building and maintaining mass.

It can also be used as a post exercise recovery shake.

Whey is a great muscle building protein because it provides a concentrated amount of amino acids and branched chain amino acids that are suited to muscle growth and repair.

Whey also digests quickly so is a good protein source for times when the body may be depleted, such as post exercise.

Great news then - our mass gainer product contains most of its protein from whey.

Our mass gainer also has milk powder which digests slower than whey. This product therefore has a blend of fast acting and slow digesting milk proteins to provide fuel for longer.

Tasty and easily mixable, though I wish this mass gainer relied less on so much unhealthy sugar to get the calorie count up. NZPROTEIN REPLY: the sugar content is naturally occurring from milk powder

Tastes okay, but like another person said - between the instructions (6 scoops and 400ml milk) and the shaker bottle, this turns into a thick gloop that doesn't even pour. Best consumed with a spoon... Pretty unimpressed but I guess it still works?

Good tasting and easy to mix
Review by: Anonymous on Sat, Aug 31, 2024 12:24 PM
Guttered about this product. Followed all the recommended dosages, turned into a thick custard like texture and wouldn’t pour out of the Big wave shaker, ended up using a spoon at the gym which wasn’t ideal. I purchased this product and also bought the recommended shaker which was a waste of time and money.

I emailed NZ Protein over a week and a half ago explaining my frustration, the team still hasn’t replied. Fast logistics, slow email tractability. Wouldn’t recommend this product at all, the product doesn't match the description. Will look at shopping elsewhere from now on.

all round good for my needs, just a bit more difficult to mix in than i expected so i just use a smaller portion per serving
Review by: Anonymous on Tue, Jul 2, 2024 3:57 PM
Doesn't taste very nice and doesn’t mix well with milk. You would need to use about 800ml of water for it to not be a chunky mess.
Review by: Olivia on Tue, May 14, 2024 4:29 PM
Excellent. Tastes great, mixes well using Wave Shaker XL. I use mine as 400mL of ice cold water, 6 heaped scoops of Mass Gainer and 2 heaped scoops of NZ Whey Protein Isolate double chocolate flavor. The XL Wave Shaker has just enough space for both products. Shake very well, then add extra water to 550mL to 600mL level. I have changed from NZ Protein Meal Replacement as a post workout meal. I train intensely 6x weekly and have noticed as part of my upgraded nutrient intake diet that I recover faster post workout. Highly recommended and I will buy again.

Review by: John on Sat, Mar 16, 2024 1:05 AM
Bought for my teen who needs extra calories in breakfast protein smoothie. However didn't like that it requires a much bigger serving (6 scoops) than normal protein powder (so less value for money) and he gave the taste a thumbs down. Pity.

Tasy but too sweet. Im trying to gain weight but so far only 2 kgs
Review by: Jean on Mon, Nov 13, 2023 4:53 PM
Mixes so well and is the best tasting protein shake I've tried to date. Was a bit worried about it being a thicker drink but it's yum!
Review by: Reg on Thu, Nov 2, 2023 1:52 PM
Very quick delivery. Bought vanilla mass gainer, very sweet but can just adjust water levels for this. All around good quality product with quality ingredients. Best price around and would definitely recommend.
Review by: Stephen on Fri, Jun 9, 2023 12:00 PM
Got vanilla flavour to add fruit to make it taste better but its actually really tasty as plain vanilla, really thick and makes my blender work overtime but highly recommend
Review by: Bryce on Mon, Jun 5, 2023 2:05 PM
Standard taste but the price makes it taste better
Review by: Liam on Mon, May 1, 2023 3:05 PM
Great taste, mixes well. Had to adjust the amount of liquid tho as was very thick.
Early days yet but it appears to be helping increase weight and appetite of severely under weight teenage boy.

Review by: Anonymous on Fri, Jan 20, 2023 11:06 PM
Just a suggestion to the product developers.
Its too sweet, perhaps come up with a formula that has perhaps 50% less sugar.

The flavor is fine.

Thanks

The chocolate is a great taste and mixes up easily. To early to see any results though.

Love the taste and feeling so full of energy afterwards. Have only just started using this product, but hoping it works as good as it tastes.
Review by: karl on Mon, Jul 4, 2022 3:21 PM
Easy to dissolve and it tastes yummy. Best for a early morning pick-me-up.
Review by: AL on Sun, Jun 12, 2022 9:35 PM
very nice to create smoothies, with banana, as an example. No unpleasant aftertaste. However, I can't rate the mass gained as I've only been using the product for a couple of weeks or so.
Review by: Bradley on Wed, Jun 1, 2022 10:43 PM
Doesn't ruin your stomach after drinking. Vanilla is better than chocolate.

Best part of NZ protein is the delivery times.

-1 since the choc flavour tastes like cheap choc.

Hello, yes I am very happy with product so happy I will certainly get another one thank you.
Review by: Anonymous on Thu, Apr 23, 2020 12:30 AM
There's more protein and calories in the regular protein powder. The ingredients are slightly different, but would be better to just take more of the protein powder??

It does taste great though! Reliable and delicious flavours always, but a bit disappointed with the product in all. NZPROTEIN REPLY: this has more calories per serve. It's a different product for a different purpose.

Test Reports

Here at NZProtein we always strive to be the best at what we do. We invest heavily in research and development to have innovative products and the best flavours.

We stand firmly behind our products so we have commenced periodic batch testing of products by independent third party laboratories. These test reports will provide further evidence of the standards we adhere to.

Please note that we will not be able to test every flavour due to the costs - there are simply too many flavours and various batches manufactured. For example, in the NZ Whey alone we have over 20 flavours, so it is not practicable to test every flavour in every batch but we will periodically submit samples in various flavours for analysis.
