Good healthy ingredients
I have to say that I was fairly impressed with the quality of this protein powder. I find the ingredients to be very impressive. I do like protein powders to be nicely flavored, but I'm always very skeptical of ones that are too tasty. If they taste more like Hershey shake for example, versus a chocolate protein shake, then you know they're heavily laden with sugar, and other additives that bring down the quality of the protein powder itself. This vanilla flavor one I found very nicely flavored. It wasn't too sweet at all. I'm not too sure that I like the recommendations on how much powder to add to how much water however. 10 to 12 ounces of water with two scoops of this protein powder, is in my opinion not enough water. I use a ninja blender, that has a smoothie attachment, and so I just measured water by eye, more or less, but I could tell you for sure I put probably closer to 16 to 20 ounces of water. I just like to water it down a bit, as I found for my personal taste, it was more pleasant that way and went down smoother. The taste is subtle and nice, especially when diluted, like I did. I use it as a post workout drink, to help my muscles recover from resistance training that I do five to six times a week. I found it very adequate as far as a post workout recovery drink, and on par with other whey proteins that I would routinely use. I mean, you have to take that with a bit of a grain of salt, because it's hard to anecdotally quantify the results in comparison, but I can say that I hardly notice the difference between this and your name brand whey proteins. I didn't try it for cooking or anything like that, but I know that these powders can be used in many different recipes for baking protein rich snacks. All in all, I found that it was a nice quality protein, that certainly fit the bill, and did the job for me and my needs. I found it very easy to take down, and light on my stomach. For all these reasons, I would certainly recommend it.
