Orion is a young supplement company that specializes in the busy world of protein powder with a competitor backed by premium whey isolate alongside some flavor-first options filled with delicious inclusions and additives. The branding of the growing brand is very unique and individual, keeping the logo and information on each bag consistent, although around all of that, it switches up the colors and graphic callouts depending on the flavor, such as the Reese’s-looking Chocolate Peanut Butter.
On the formula side of things, again, you get whey isolate as the primary source of protein, providing the usual 25g per serving, with moderate carbohydrates at 6g, most of that added sugar, 2.5g of fat, and a moderate calorie count of 150. As mentioned, each of the flavors has its own individual ingredients to deliver that promising taste experience, with Cinnamon Roll Swirl having cinnamon throughout, Chocolate Peanut Butter having peanut butter powder and cocoa, and actual cookies in Cookies & Cream.
Those various ingredients contribute massively to the reputable taste of Orion and its signature protein powder, but there is one other feature to it that helps make it a bit different. The brand has added a bit of a meal replacement twist, throwing in a variety of vitamins and minerals by way of its multivitamin blend. We say it’s a meal replacement move, as most competitors in that category infuse vitamins and minerals to make for a one-stop shop and edge their comprehensive nutrition profiles closer to an actual meal.
Orion is currently running a sale through its online store on its protein powder, which based on reviews and feedback, sounds like it delivers a damn solid flavor experience. The cost of the discounted supplement falls to $44.99 for a bag of 30 servings; again, each of those packs the usual 25g of protein per serving. There are also some sample bundles available so you can try the protein product without investing in a full size pouch, including a variety pack with one of each flavor for a reasonable $6.99.
