This product costs almost half as much as the whey protein that I was using. It's definitely a great deal as far as providing the nutrition supplements that you need for a low price per volume. However, there are some things that are worth a couple extra dollars to me and taste is one of them. When I first opened the package I saw that the product came in a huge plastic ziploc. I wasn't alarmed at this because I didn't really care what it came in and I had containers into which I could transfer the powder anyway. But, when I made my first shake, I realized what was wrong with that packaging. The shake tasted like plastic. Not just a little. A lot. It's pretty disgusting. I'm buying strong tasting things to mix it with now so that I can use it up and go back to my old brand. Even that only helps slightly. In addition, the powder always clumps up when you mix it. I have to use hot water to mix the powder and stick it in the fridge way ahead of time just so I don't have to chew my shake. If you have to go cheap, okay...but if you can afford something a little more expensive, go for it. It's not worth the savings in my opinion. |
