In this article I will share my experience with Virtuoos Whey Classic Gold Vanille Proteïne Powder that I sometimes take after an intens training session to speed-up recovery a bit. I mix that with red fruit and milk to get a smoothie like post ride drink.

Key features Virtuoos Whey Classic Gold Vanille Proteïne Powder
On the product page of Whey Classic Gold Vanille Proteïne Powder on the Virtuoos website you can read the following description:
Finished your workout? That’s when recovery begins.
Virtuoos Whey Classic Gold is a protein powder with whey protein that can help support muscle recovery after exercise.
Contains: 750 grams | 25 servings of 30 grams
- 23 g whey protein per shake
- 3 g leucine and more than 5 g BCAAs
- Easy to mix with water, (plant-based) milk or in your smoothie
I got the Virtuoos Whey Classic Gold Vanille Proteïne Powder in a try-out pack when I placed an order on duursport.nl. I’ve used Body&Fit Whey Perfection Proteïne Powder as well. Good news is that I got the flavor Vanilla which is from my point of view the most diverse.
As said there are two main ways how I use the Whey Classic Gold Vanille Proteïne Powder:
- Post ride in a shake with milk (sometimes with some red fruit added)
- As breakfast added to a smoothie with milk, fruit and a bit of oath
The try-out pack of Virtuoos Whey Classic Vanille Proteïne Powder has exactly 25-30 grams of proteïne, so easy dosage (without thinking) for both scenarios. It is hard to experience a difference in taste or nutritional value from a practical point of view.
Going after the exact nutritional values and comparing these 1:1 the Virtuoos Gold Vanille Proteïne Powder has a slight advantage over the Body&Fit Whey Perfection Proteïne Powder. However I don’t think you can go wrong with either one of the options.
