Customer Reviews of CytoSport Muscle Milk, Chocolate, 2.47 Pound
Customer Review: It's more than taste
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been reading quite a few reviews on Muscle Milk just to get a feel if others shared my experiences with it. What I find is just about half the reviews talk about nothing more than how great it tastes. That would be fine if the product were a very expensive milkshake, but it's a muscle enhancing product and there are little details in these reviews about whether or not it worked for them. So let me share. Yes, it did give me results. I am 41, 6'1, 210 lbs and after using MM for about 6 weeks there was a very noticable expansion of lean muscle and reduction of fat, particularly around my midsection. I am not new at this, I have been working out since I was in my early 20s. Tried lots of different products all pledging to do everything but change my oil. I have been MM for three years now, cycling it every 6 weeks when in heavy training and for 2-3 months when training light. Yes, it does deliver. And yes, it does contain a lot of sugar and fat so make sure you balance your diet to compensate for that. I also stack it with an amplified creatine monohydrate, green tea supplements, and fish oil. Also use L-Glutamine along with my MM shake after each workout for proper recovery. Just be careful with MM as it WILL make you fat if you are not eating clean and staying consistent with your training. Otherwise I do recommend it highly. Oh...and it tastes great.Customer Review: Banana is great added to oatmeal!

I've been trying to boost my protein intake with non-meat options (red meat doesn't sit well with me and one can only eat so much chicken). :-) I heard so many good things about Muscle Milk that I had to try some when I found it on sale (unfortunately not on Amazon.com). I purchased the banana because I wanted a different taste from the standard chocolate/vanilla fare out there to give some variety. My initial impression of the flavor of this powder is that of Banana laffy taffy (my favorite candy!). My favorite use for it is to stir a scoop into a big bowl of traditional (not instant) oatmeal.
The powder easily dissolves in milk and water with minimal shaking and stirring. One thing I noticed that not many others have pointed out is that Muscle Milk is much lower in cholesterol than many other brands of whey powders (8 mg versus 20 mg in another name brand that I'm looking at). The formula I have also has some dietary fiber in it (hard to get enough in the modern American diet!).
The only drawback to this shake is that you don't want it to sit for very long once mixed. I made a shake prior to my workout and put it in the fridge and when I grabbed it out of the fridge, crystals had formed in the shake! But other than that, Muscle Milk is excellent for meeting my nutritional goals!
Customer Review: Results & Great Taste

I have been lifting weights for about 3 years now and about a year ago I hit a wall. I was not able to really increase in any of my exercises for several months, so I decided to try a new type of Protein Powder to see if it made any difference, I picked muscle milk mainly because I am lactose intolerant and saw that it did not have any lactose in it. Long story short, in the 6 months or so since I have been taking muscle milk before my workouts my bench has gone up 60 pounds, dumbbell press up 30, curls up 20, and so on. To be fair I also have been taking glutamine powder, BCAA pills and Creatine as well, so I don't know for sure how much of this is directly because of the muscle milk, but at least some of my gains have got to be from using this. I have had many different flavors and have liked most of them quite a bit. My favorites are Mocha, Rocky Road, Peanut Butter, and Chocolate Carmel Pecan. The only flavor that I have had that I didn't like much was the natural vanilla, but it was still better that some other vanilla shakes I have had. I use the blender bottle and water to make my shakes and they are great every time. I would highly recommend this if you are looking to make gains or at the very least keep what muscle you have already worked to build.Customer Review: GREAT PRODUCT!!!

Muscle Milk is a great protein supplement, albeit somewhat pricey (around $1.50/serving of two scoops). It does what it advertises: add muscle. If you're looking to cut down or thin, there might be better options out there (although I ended up getting more cut as well as building lean muscle mass, but that might be the result of the workout routine), but if you're looking to add muscle this is a great option. From my understanding it's pretty much protein + other good stuff. It has healthy fats, casein protein, etc. Like a regular protein mix but better. I take this within 30 minutes after my work out, on top of a cheaper whey protein supplement which I take daily, and I am seeing GREAT results. Never been happier, or fit. Muscle + leanness for me, but like with ANY supplement there is no free ride so you have to pair your supplements with exercise. Get your rest too, with that said I HIGHLY recommend this product. Oh, did I mention it tastes freakin' amazing? Even with just water. I am NOT a fan of the strawberry but I really like chocolate, chocolate malt, cookies n' cream and root beer. Get this from Amazon or All Star Health, whoever is cheaper and/or ships faster. Stay consistent, dedicated, and get built!Customer Review: Rich, Creamy, Delicious, and no stomach aches!

I purchased the Vanilla Cream version of muscle milk in the 4lb bottle after a friend from work recommended it to me. I didnt purchase the bigger bottle because I had tried GMC protein powder before trying Muscle Milk and the GMC protein powder required 6 scoops of powder + milk and it really filled you up so much that you could barely finish a single drink without feeling too full. The GMC protein powder also had very little taste, I had to add sugar to give it some taste.
Muscle milk is completely different, and far better! it only requires two scoops of powder and no sugar. It taste great either with water or with milk but I usually drink it with vitamin D milk. It has a smooth, creamy, and delicious taste that goes down smooth and taste just like an ice cream shake. I drink it 1 hour before I work out and in the morning as a breakfast shake. I highly recommend buying one of those Bodytech shaker bottles that lets you toss the powder and milk inside and just shake it without needing a blender, I have one of the blue ones myself they go for like $4.
I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a good protein shake, its the best I have ever had.
