Well, it’s been a while since my last review, but needless to say I have tried various powders and other fun chemicals and will crank out as many reviews as possible for you within the next for days. So without further ado, let the review BEGIN!!
What I Liked
TASTE
I bought the Vanilla version of this product and found it to be quite delicious. Normally, I would only go with Chocolate, but honestly this made me question whether I would buy chocolate flavored powders ever again.
Mixing
By far one of the easiest mixing formulas out there. No complaints here, it mixed with or without cold water.
What I Didn’t Like
The damn scoop was probably my biggest issue. I must have lost half a canister of protein powder digging for the scoop with my large spoon. Why can’t the makers of protein powders just give us the scoop taped to the top of the bottle?? Seriously, this is one of my biggest issues with Protein Powders in general. The other issue is written below.
The Claims
The first thing that is claimed on the bottle is the secret Triwhey76 trademarked protein formula that features a 76% protein utilization rate. This may sound good, until you realize that eggs, chicken, fish and possibly red meat are greater than or equal to this percentage. Eggs are somewhere in the upper 90s percentage of utilization. The only down side is fat and cholesterol, but even those are being disputed these days. This coupled with the ridiculous advertising of OmegaEFA (as printed on the label) has got to be one of the most intelligence insulting ads I have ever read. What bodybuilder/gym goer buys a protein powder for OMEGA 3S?!! Can someone tell me this?? The idea is ridiculous. I buy protein powder for….PROTEIN! Bet you never saw that coming. We have all of the Omegas set out for us through oils and foods, so please protein makers, stick with what you know.
Also for the record, this is also one of the NO ASPERTAME people. Yes, no aspartame, but plenty of other sweeteners so consume at your own risk.
Final Grade
D+
The taste was pretty good and was the SOLE reason why I did not give this thing a fail. Otherwise, this powder fails based on the outlandish claims and everything in between. The cost is about 2 cents per gram of protein, which is not bad, but at nearly the same price as chicken I would expect a better product. Try it at your own risk and order it from bodybuilding.com for the lowest rates.
