Customer Reviews of CytoSport Muscle Milk, Chocolate, 2.47 Pound
Customer Review: Vanilla flavor is okay, strawberry flavor is awful
Summary: 2 Stars
Vanilla flavor: The taste of Muscle milk natural vanilla doesn't taste much like vanilla to me. Hardly even a hint of it. The powder mixes really well with liquids and tastes fine with milk but nothing to rave about. I probably won't order this product again.
Strawberry: I can't quite describe how this stuff tastes but to me it is awful. It's almost a chemical taste. I haven't tasted the "regular" (non-natural) strawberry so I can't compare it to this stuff but I won't be buying muscle milk natural strawberry flavor again. I tried mixing this stuff with water, milk and even orange juice and it never tasted good or even drinkable. One positive thing I can say about this product is that it mixes easier than any protein powder i've used yet. To be fair I must say I haven't tasted many other strawberry flavored protein powders that tasted GREAT so maybe my palette is to blame.
Customer Review: Muscle Milk Rocks!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using Muscle Milk for over a year now to add extra protein to my diet because I am a bodybuilder, and I will continue to use it for the following reasons..
*Unlike most protein powders Muscle Milk tastes pretty good; I have tried Cinnamon Bun, Strawberry Milkshake, Cake Batter, Chocolate Mint Chip, Cookies n' Creme, Chocolate Carmel Swirl, and a few others. The point here is that it is hard to go wrong with this product. Just pick the flavor you like and more than likely you will not be disappointed.
*Muscle Milk is a good source of Cassein protein. Cassein protein is one of those slow absorbing proteins so it feeds your muscles for a good period of time. This is great for in the morning and about 2 hours before bed.
*This product mixes very well especially with Soy Milk.
I hope this was helpful!
Thanks
Customer Review: Solid Protein, Good Value
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a pretty complete quasi-weight gainer. I originally bought it just as a protein supplement but am pleasantly surprised with how much more it is for the price (essential fats, casein protein, etc.). Just two things to add not seen on this page:
1) I bought a 2.4 lb container -- the recommended serving is 2 scoops (32g of protein) with 16 servings per container. Depending on how many shakes/day you drink, this size may not last long. Of course, that can be a good thing if you're not fond of the flavor/brand.
2) I wish I had seen the nutritional info, so I'd know it was more than just protein. So here it is from the Cytosport site: [...]
If you're looking for something that is simple whey powder, I'd recommend the 100% Whey Protein Gold Standard, Chocolate Mint 2 lbs from Optimum Nutrition -- simple protein, inexpensive, good taste.
Customer Review: Best stuff of all I've tried!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love muscle milk. The only thing I don't like about it is that it is a little costly. But oh well, it's worth it! I was thinking about getting ON whey protein because it's so much cheaper, but it doesn't have nearly as much nutritional value as the muscle milk. I recommend the Cookies and Cream, and the Crème Brule flavors. Those are the only two I've tried and they are excellent! The best way I have found to prepare it is like 5 or 6 servings at a time. I throw 1 scoop per cup of milk in a blender, blend it up, put it in the fridge, and drink it throughout the day. This is the best way because it gives the powder time to dissolve and gives it better taste. I also found I drink it more consistently because it's a pain to mix it up every time you want some. So unless you're on a strict budget, I highly recommend this to anyone!Customer Review: Better than the hype!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried many and this one definitely is heads and shoulders above the rest. Not for the hard core athletes but for the serious builders who want to gain the healthy, natural way.
Tastes great; I've always tried the chocolate or the vanilla and while both are excellent, I prefer the vanilla since it can be mixed up with a bit more ingredients for some interesting flavours.
Also, it produces no side effects like some of the other brands I've tried and has no lactose, yet it tastes as close to a real milkshake as you'd expect.
I don't use it as often as recommended by the manufacturer and don't think anyone should but it is indeed perfect for use before bed. I personally use it immediately after working out and that works fine.
If you have not yet tried it, stop hesitating and get one. You won't regret it.
