Legion Whey Protein Review | Blind Taste Test of 9 Best-Selling Flavors

Which Legion Whey+ flavor is actually the best?

In this video, I blind taste test 9 of Legion’s most popular whey protein flavors and rank them from worst to best. As someone who stays under 10% body fat year-round and uses protein powder daily for smoothies, Ninja Creami recipes, and hitting my protein goals, I wanted to find out which flavors are truly worth buying.

A huge thank you to Legion for sending over such a generous variety of Whey+ samples for this taste test. They had no input on my rankings or review—these are my honest opinions after blind tasting every flavor.

We review:
✔ Peanut Butter Fudge
✔ Caramel Coconut Fudge Cookie
✔ Red Velvet
✔ Maple Donut
✔ Coconut
✔ Strawberry Cheesecake
✔ Cinnamon Cereal
✔ Chocolate Hazelnut
✔ Mocha Cappuccino

Along the way, I’ll break down:
• Taste rankings
• Protein powder macros
• Ingredient quality
• Best flavors for Ninja Creami recipes
• How to choose a lean protein powder
• Tips for making protein shakes taste better while dieting

If your goal is fat loss, muscle building, body recomposition, or simply finding a protein powder you actually enjoy drinking, this review will help you decide which Legion Whey+ flavor deserves a spot in your kitchen.

22 pounds down. Stronger habits. More confidence. A foundation that lasts.

@A_Fronz is down 22 pounds. He is a former athlete who has a demanding career that involves travel. Together on coaching we built unshakable habits, confidence in the kitchen and weight room, and foundation in health and fitness that will last.

What stands out most about Andrew’s transformation isn’t just the weight loss, it’s how he made it happen.

Like many busy professionals, Andrew had a demanding schedule, traveled frequently for work, and could have easily used that as an excuse. Instead, he focused on controlling what he could control.

We leveraged a meal prep service to keep nutrition simple while traveling, prioritized strength training, and worked on breaking the all-or-nothing mindset that keeps so many people stuck.

The result?
✅ 22 pounds lost
✅ Improved body composition
✅ Better habits
✅ More consistency
✅ A sustainable approach he can maintain long-term

As a former athlete, Andrew understood hard work, but his biggest win was learning how to apply that discipline in a way that fit his current lifestyle.

One thing he told me at the end of the program stuck with me:
“You definitely helped me establish a foundation to continue to build upon. Grateful for all your guidance and support along the way.”

That’s the goal.

Not a quick fix.Not a crash diet.Not suffering through a plan you can’t sustain.

Real results built on habits that actually fit your life.

If you’re busy, travel often, and feel like you’ve been starting over every Monday, coaching may be exactly what you need.

People have the right to do whatever makes them happy. What brings people happiness can change over time. For some people, fitness is their entire personality, for myself I know you can be in incredible shape and still enjoy your life.

I have less than 10% body fat, my A1C is less than 5, and VO2 max is 57. Despite all of this, I’m not scared to eat a slice of pizza or enjoy a dinner out with my wife.

My priority is both my health and my family. You don’t have to bring meal prep to family events.

As a trainer, these are the three rules that are non-negotiable:

As a trainer, these are the three rules that are non-negotiable:
1️⃣ Don’t injure the client
2️⃣ Don’t steal from the client
3️⃣ Don’t sleep with the client
I’m kidding, but it’s sort of the truth. Those are definitely the 3 non negotiables of training.
It can be frustrating for both parties to keep talking about form. The client may be struggling with the execution, and, some trainers might get nervous to keep critiquing the client.

When new clients, come in, I know it can be overwhelming. Imagine meeting 12 new people and having to remember 5 new things about those people. In the same way, it can be difficult to remember 12 new exercises and remember 5 cues for each of them.

That’s why I start basic. My main focus is to make sure you aren’t doing an exercise in a way that could hurt you, that you spend the session being pushed by me to be active, and over time, we want the exercises you’re doing to become more optimal.

Let’s just say I was not a fan the first time I tried @Legendaryfoods mini protein donuts. The donut

Let’s just say I was not a fan the first time I tried @Legendaryfoods mini protein donuts. The donuts were very dry which threw off the taste.

However, the brand has my respect, because they changed their recipe and sent me their reformulated mini donuts.

The macros were good before, and they continue to be good after the reformation.

MACROS:
⏩160 calories
⏩ 20 grams of protein
⏩ Approximately 6 grams of fiber

TASTE:
These are much more moist and cakey. The texture is way better, making the taste better.

Now, both the taste and macros hold up. These have donuts have definitely leveled up.

Shoes are so important to strength training. Think about it like a tire to a car: the stickier the better and the more traction you have the better your lift will be.

My personal favorite are Metcons by @nike. The Metcon 8 and 10 are great for lifting because they are nice and flat, and the Free Metcon 7 for weight training and athletic performance ie sprinting, jumping, rotating.

Invest in good shoes for your workouts means investing in yourself.

‼️ New product alert at @Costco: Coffee-flavored @DrinkNurri ultra-filtered milk.

‼️ New product alert at @Costco: Coffee-flavored @DrinkNurri ultra-filtered milk.
This has the same 150 calories, same 30g of protein, and less than 10% of your daily sodium, which is excellent for a premade shake. It also has less saturated fat than most ultra-filtered milk.

And most importantly, the price is right on Nurri: $24.99 for a 15-pack, which comes to less than $2.00 a can.

This has become my go-to ultra-filtered milk shake, because the price on @Fairlife has simply gotten out of control.

I do still like the creaminess of Fairlife, but if I’m not looking to splurge, I’m going with Nurri.

TELL ME: Have you tried Nurri’s new coffee flavor yet? Let me know what you think in the comments. 👇

We too often get wrapped up in the inputs of life. But what matters most?

We too often get wrapped up in the inputs of life. But what matters most?

➡️ Longevity
➡️ Quality of life
➡️ Being happy with how you look

How are those factors accomplished? By looking out your outputs. Blood pressure, VO2 max, ApoB, A1C, and so much more. These are outputs you should become obsessed with.

Everyone is different, and focusing too much on your input without looking at the output can slow down your fitness journey.

Let’s talk about lower body training. Remember, my clients are 35-55 years old. These are real people with real responsibilities who want results.

When it comes to training, I always have my clients start with the part of their body they want to improve the most. From there, we work our way down the list though other aspects they want to improve.

For me, I start with my calves, then go into quadriceps and hamstrings then end with glutes

⏩For calves, I like a seated vertical leg press
⏩Quadriceps are prioritized during leg presses and Bulgarian split squats
⏩Seated leg curls work the hamstrings with a leg-curl pattern and hinging pattern
⏩Hip thrusters help grow glutes while being low-impact on the body
