So thick

As background for myself and why I bough this powder; I am a collegiate distance runner, so I am mostly looking for muscle replenishment rather than bulk (although with track coming up, a little weight gain does improve shorter race times). I bought this powder because it's 100% whey, banned-substance tested, and it has a good rep. Here's why it gets all 5 stars-Taste: it's great. The vanilla ice cream mixed with just milk REALLY taste like a milkshake. It's amazing without all the extra added sugars. Keep in mind though I recommend mixing this in with a fruit smoothie, for the carb replishment and also some extra nutrients. If for some reason you're picky and you don't like the taste of fruit, this flavor is actually so good that it makes it taste like a strawberry milkshake (if you use some strawberries).Recovery: before this powder I occasionally took muscle milk. I thought it was normal to just be sore and tight for hours or even days after a tough long workout. But after taking this stuff, I don't feel that extreme soreness or tightness anymore. Don't get me wrong, you WILL still feel sore, but it definitely lowers the intensity. I feel stronger than my soreness in a way, whereas before my muscles would slow me down.Overall this powder is very versatile and simple and should be in everybody's supplement box. Anyone can use it, it's high quality and it works!

Good source of protein. I bought the 1 pound size to try before purchasing a larger order and I will not hesitate to buy this again. I have used a few different brands of protein mixes and this is the finest powdered mix that I have found. Don't sneeze in it cause it might be up in your face. Very easy to mix, even with just a spoon, stirring it for 10 seconds into a half full glass of warm water, there is no clumping. I ordered the vanilla ice cream flavor and got just that. Not overly sweet, at least for my taste. Not necessarily delicious by itself, more watery than thick, not a smoothie but far from unpleasant. For the taste Connoisseurs on here, there likely are delicious tasting recipes for this powder but you should check other reviewers for that. For me, I have pretty simple needs and I like it because it's a quick and easy way to mix in a glass and in seconds, you are good to go with a no lump drink plus, it's very easy to clean up the glass and stirring utensil with just a quick rinse. No hard to clean residue left to scrub.

ممتاز

I ordered trial size of Vanilla Ice Cream, my first time trying product. I am very impressed with the taste, and that it has the AMINOS that I require my shakes to have. I noticed there appears to be no fiber, also, it clumps (probably from the xantham gum) so I used my magic bullet to blend--no big deal . I used skim milk and ice.5 stars because it tastes GREAT! Thick and creamy and smooth (not gritty). I used my berry flavored greens powder to get a nice flavor. And may use strawberries next time. Understand that the vanilla is a great flavor. I will definitely purchasing the chocolate flavor in hopes that it will be just as delicious!My ONLY complaint is that the trial offer and 3 lb offer is limited to only 1 or 2 flavors, and there are no sample packs. I'd rather try a small bag of Chocolate Coconut before I purchase the 5 lb bag. :-(Not sure if this was original or newer product.

So I don't typically write reviews but this product is just fantastic. I just recently picked up a different brand of Whey powder mix and comparing this to other brands is kind of a joke in my opinion.It's no secret to people here that Whey protein can have a distinctive cool cup of garbage and cardboard taste, but this gold standard Whey mix has been almost unbelievable. I ordered the vanilla ice cream flavor and man, what a treat for post workout. I go the gym every other day and drink this daily and will absolutely be purchasing more flavors in the future.Another really great feature about this protein mix is that stirring it is ACTUALLY EFFECTIVE! The stuff I just bought from the store (not this product) Not only has a horrible gritty texture but taste disgusting before during and after drinking it. I regret picking convenience over quality.TL;DR: Amazing taste, easily blended with spoon, an amazing smooth texture makes this one of the best protein powders on the market
