It’s Time for another protein powder review folks. I know you are waiting for something new, but I think you will enjoy these and will see their effectiveness in delivering to you the goods. Not to mention, unlike places like Amazon or sites that try to sell you things, this review is by one person who works out and you know is against supplementation in general. Therefore, you can expect the utmost honest (sometimes hilarious) review of a product right here at www.therealpetermidnight.com. So without further ado let the review begin.

WHAT I LIKED

First of all, the scoop was not buried at the bottom of the container. This is a pet peeve of mine and I’m glad I did not have to go treasure hunting or say shiver me timbers looking for the almighty scoop. Also, the non-aspartame feature was nice.

TASTE

I loved the taste. It tastes GREAT!! I opted for the chocolate flavor and I was not disappointed. No bad after taste, and no me shaking my face wondering why I paid for this crap like so many powders have led me to do before. Also, you can mix this in cold or warm water and have an outstanding shake!

MIXING

This drink mixes very easily and only requires a shaker for mixing.

PRICE

The cost is between 2-3 cents per gram of protein. That is much cheaper than my store bought chicken, but less natural of course. Also, this price only applies to the product when bought from bodybuilding.com, so you may want to be aware of that.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE

There were two things that I did not like about this product and that was the sweeteners that were added and the advertising to sell the product on the container.

SWEETENERS

I do not like the use of artificial sweeteners for any of my protein shakes or foods period, but I will try it out just so I can tell people my honest opinion of the product. We do not know the long-term effects of certain sweeteners, so I do not generally recommend any of these types of products. I will say that the makers did not use Aspartame in this product, but a sweetener is a sweetener so I wish I had four hands so I could give this part of the review FOUR THUMBS DOWN!!!

BUZZ WORDS AND PHRASES

This product makes some pretty ridiculous claims such as improving weight control, muscularity and increased recovery!! What makes these claims so upsetting is the fact that I doubt ANYONE of them can be proven as a direct result of the product. For example, is it possibly true that someone who takes protein powder more likely to be someone who controls his or her weight? I would answer yes. So why make it appear as if this product (or any product for that matter) will improve my weight control?? The truth is that it will not. The fact that I am seeking a powder is likely the cause of my improved weight control, not the powder itself, but I digress.

FINAL GRADE

C

This is an average protein powder with some kinks that need to be worked out in order to be given an excellent rating. The taste is fine, the mixing is superb, but honesty in advertising and less sweetener use would be a step in the right direction. Something I did not touch on was the large amount of carbs per serving. Even with the use of artificial sweeteners this powder contains an unusually high amount of carbs for a protein powder. What’s up with that?? Either use enough sweeteners to lessen this effect or give us no sweetener at all! Oh well, you can try it out for yourself. If you don’t mind things like sucrose and aspartame then this protein powder might be for you.
