   This product is so far superior and versatile when compared to all the other brands I’ve tried I almost can’t believe it! This morning I have it in a rich, creamy vanilla chai. Nice and hot to warm from the inside out and sooo smooth and creamy! The luxury of pumpkin spice and vanilla is heavenly. I used this powder for iced coffee with spices and that was great, too. AND THIS IS THE EASIEST POWDER TO MIX ABOVE ALL THE OTHERS! My blender sit idle. My stick mixer needs a new job. My frother is on hiatus. I mix this lovely fine powder in a tall glass WITH AN ICED TEA SPOON! IT REALLY IS THAT EASY! It will make you look forward to your next protein drink — I guarantee it! DRINK AND ENJOY.

   ホエイプロテインの独特の臭みが苦手なので、味のあるものを探していました。希望のチョコレートが在庫切れだったのでこちらの味に。外国製のチョコレートバーを食べてる感じ。かなり甘いので、一回につき半分の量にコーヒーを加えておやつ感覚でいただいています。今まで何種類かホエイプロテインを試していましたが、これが一番いいかも。次はチョコレートを試してみたい。

   The product arrived with a safety seal and a freshness seal which is nice to see. The freshness seal was a job in itself to remove. It required my teeth, the handle side of a spoon, strategic peeling and patience. Once open (workout completed…lol) there was a very mild scent somewhat like malt or raw oats but, I’m not really sure because it was unique. The scoop was visible and not buried thankfully. I tasted the powder off of my finger and it had once again a very mild taste somewhat like malt or raw oats. I have not taken protein supplements since my days of body building which have long since passed. Back then I was taking EAS Myoplex and it was then, and is now, extremely expensive. Considering I weighted 268lb when I started lifting again and dropped 38lb over several months, the cost for protein would of been too much for my budget supplement or food wise. The problem was that I was extremely sore and it was taking an extreme amount of time to heal between workouts, so I decided to go back to protein supplements. Daily I make a vegetable and berry smoothie that I put all of my powders and supplements in. So, after putting THIS protein concentrate into that same smoothie, it did change the taste. It made it again taste kind of like a mild malt flavoring which did permeate throughout the mixture and was stronger than expected. It wasn’t a bad flavor mind you, but it was definitely not flavorless. I think this taste is typical for whey protein because I did recognize it. I went with the concentrate rather than the isolate because of price and taste. Yes, you get a few less grams of protein per scoop but, I didn’t want a chemical taste from the over processing of the isolate. I will try the isolate from this same manufacturer next and compare them. The most important point is that this is an affordable, 3rd party tested, contaminate limit product and is comparable to most of the products produced by this company. No it is not tasteless but, it does not have a bad taste. Considering the amount of eggs (which are comparable pricewise right now) I would have to eat daily this seemed a much more viable option.

   I am 345 pounds with 24 percent body fat and aiming for that Eddie Hall body. That means I need a LOT of protein. If I was consuming the amount I’m supposed to, I’d go through this 5 pound stuff in about a month. Instead I am only consuming about 1.5 pounds a month.

   I can confirm this stuff doesn’t go bad very fast, even after about 3 months it’s pretty much like new. I am about to buy another one as I’m almost out.

   I eat unflavored ONLY. Don’t buy flavored, it’s very unhealthy and choke full of bad stuff like carcinogens and artificial flavors. The unflavored is often more pure and undiluted. The only bad part is even if you get the flavored stuff, it’s a lot like drinking chalk. I wish there wasnt a pure protein bar, shake, powder that wasn’t like chalk. I mix the unflavored with chocolate milk and that seems to go down the easiest for me.

   I have tried ALL the protein powders, been a bodybuilder/athlete for a while. The hardest part isn’t even working out or eating all the foods. It’s been getting the protein… The sheer amount I have to consume is inhuman. 230 grams is like 10 burgers to give you an idea. That’s if I eat lean meat… Or 2 pounds of steak. Imagine having to eat 2 pounds of steak alone every single day just to get your much needed protein intake… If I had Eddie Halls income I’d not have an issue with protein. Eddie Hall mentioned he spends about 100k a year on his body and I wholeheartedly believe it. I think it’s more.

   So imagine how grateful I am to see 5 pounds of unflavored protein at a reasonable and sustainable price. Its pure, undiluted, tasteless protein powder. It has allowed me to finally consume as much protein as I want without it breaking the wallet. Just like with ALL protein, keeping it down is hard. Protein powder is like fine wine, your body has to get used to it. At first I had a lot of trouble keeping it down but now I can chug 50 grams without much issue. I mix it with pure undiluted unflavored creatine with chocolate milk and it’s great. I will admit I’d so much rather eat 2 pounds of steak but I am not that wealthy.

   内容量が約1キロ近いチョコレート&ピーナッツ風味のプロテインです。チョコレートとピーナッツのお互いが上手く混ざり合い、甘くて濃厚で美味しい😋ピーナッツはそのまま細かく粉砕されていて、本当にピーナッツを感じられる…感動🥹ピーナッツ好きにおすすめのプロテインです。私は水200ミリリットルにスプーン一杯をシェイカーでシェイク😄直ぐ溶けてお水でも十分美味しいです。一食でプロテイン25グラム取れます。ただ欠点を上げるとすれば、初めての開封の際に蓋が開けにくい、中栓がこれまた開けにくい😥ボトルに対して大きなスプーン。潜ってます😭プロテインを掬う時にこぼしやすい。ですが美味しいのでプラマイゼロですかね😁
