I’ve tried all the flavors at this point so here’s a review:Banana- 10/10 flavor and thickness, much better than fairlife, this is the nectar of gods it’s so yummy I’d be excited to drink it everyday, so sad they don’t make it anymoreVanilla - 10/10 bro this literally tastes like melted ice cream, make sure to use milk or a milk substitute and not water, much better than fairlifeBrownie batter - 6/10 not as thick as other flavors honestly kinda mid, still good quality whey but the flavors eh, much rather drink a fairlifePumpkin - 7/10 not rlly my thing but if ur a pumpkin spice lover I’m sure you’ll like it, just as thick as banana and vanilla but honestly I’d rather drink a fairlifeFrosted Cinnamon Bun - 5/10 tastes like the pillsbury dough bough threw up in my mouth, I don’t know what compelled me to buy a 4lb tub of the stuff but probably the longest 6 weeks of my life consuming this powder, I hate cinnamon sweet stuff so not to my liking at all, but I know other people that tried it loved it and said it tasted like the milk after Cinnamon Toast Crunch, to each their own I guessA review of the actual whey:The digestive enzymes definitely do something, aside from this brand having the best flavored protein powder by far, I also believe that the whey is high quality as I never get bloated from it like I do from other brands.I've only tried 2 or 3 brands of whey protein over the years, and after trying a few, I've decided to stick with Animal Whey Isolate Powder mixes. The ingredients seem good, and the flavors are great! "Whey Isolate" is the way to go, and the added ingredients to aid digestion really help. I do not experience any gas, or other digestive issues, like other whey products that have me running for the bathroom. I've been using Animal Whey for the last 5 or 6 years now. I've only tried a few of the flavors though.For a while I was ordering Frosted Cinnamon Bun, which is an excellent flavor choice, if you are into creamy flavors. Then I switched it up to Brownie Batter for years, it's an amazing flavor, with little bits of what look like chocolate chips in there, but I'm not sure XD. With my last order, I decided to go with Cookies & Cream, because it was a bit cheaper than the brownie batter. I just received the package now, and mixed some up for a taste test. It reminds me a bit of the Frosted Cinnamon Bun flavor, but better in some way. I can't place my finger on it. It's got a very creamy flavor to it, and reminds me of "Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme(Cream)" candy bars. That being said, they've nailed the flavor profile again. If you like cookies and cream flavor, you will enjoy this one.Moving forward I'll test out a few more flavors, to add some variety :). From the reviews I've read, and the few I've tried, I think any flavor will be good as long as it's not something you normally distaste. Some folks hate bananas, for those who do, do not order banana flavor and expect a good time XDI normally start my day off by sipping one protein shake after my morning supplements, while I get started working on business projects, checking emails, writing an article, etc. Shortly after that I get out for a hike in nature, or some other exercise if the weather is nasty, then return to work afterwards. I definitely notice the protein shakes hitting me, even as I drink them. Although I am very sensitive to chemical changes in my body, and the resulting change in consciousness. Your results may vary.I definitely notice a difference on the days I miss my morning shake though. It's not a tremendous difference. Though, I do feel a bit off, a bit cranky, and not as much energy/motivation. Depending on how much protein I have gotten in a day, I may have another shake an hour or so before bedtime. I find I even sleep better after a shake, even though it seems like it would be counter intuitive. I've read articles for and against having protein at night. It all depends on where your body is at, and your calorie intake that day. Personally, I'd rather reach for a tasty protein shake, for some night time desert, over some other food that would be worse off eating before bed. My sweet tooth activates some nights...They definitely get 5 stars from me. I don't write reviews often, but felt compelled after trying a new flavor. I've never had any issues, besides the scoop being buried, which happens with any powdered supplement. I just hang onto the scoop from the previous container, until I get down to the one that is in there.If you are looking for a solid protein product, I suggest giving them a try :)MUCH OF WHAT IS IN THIS REVIEW IS REPEATED FROM MY PREVIOUS REVIEW OF THE BANANA CREAM FLAVOR OF THIS POWDER AND APPLIES TO THIS VARIETY AS WELLI just received my latest delivery of this protein powder. I think it is going to be great for several competing medical needs that might be of interest to others. First of all, I am not a bodybuilder. I am an old man who has been a diabetic for more than 30 years. My kidneys are shot, requiring dialysis, and finally, I am permanently disabled. I mention this because I receive EBT Food benefits following the loss of my leg overseas.This protein powder, unlike others I have tried meets my requirements perfectly. First, my doctor says I need protein supplementation, but am on a severely carb restricted diet due to my diabetes. This powder has extremely low carb content compared to some others I have picked up at the grocery store. When combined with 2 cups of almond milk, one scoop gives me a very digestible shake that provides the same nutrition as eating a serving of beef, pork, chicken or fish, with only 5 total carbs. If I add two scoops to the almond milk, I can get 50 grams of protein for only 8 total carbs. Great. My dietician at the dialysis center looked at the nutrition label and determined it was fine for a kidney patient.Next, unlike the vast majority of protein powders, the label on this brand says, "Nutrition Facts", meaning it is considered food, whereas others say "Supplement Facts" and are not. This is an issue for me and perhaps others because you can purchase this with EBT benefits while to buy the others you need to spend cash. For someone who has to use this stuff daily, that is huge. For me, it is actually food.Third, like the Banana Cream flavor, which was the first one I tried, it tastes terrific. It is not overly sweet and has no aftertaste. The little bits of cookie in this powder were a surprise, they are a bit crunchy when you encounter them. A shake made with this powder legitimately tastes like a brownie blended in milk. I also like the packaging. Four pounds will last me a while, and the bale handle on the container makes it much easier for my arthritic hands to pick up. I did note that this flavor is significantly more expensive than the other varieties in the same size. If that is a function of the added cookie bits, they could leave those out as far as I am concerned, but I see from other reviews that many like them.The only small downside to this product is that it is more expensive than some other decent powders out there. For the brand I was using before (Body Fortress, also very good), I was paying about $8 per pound, this one runs about $16 a pound (other flavors cost less). But it is clearly made for serious bodybuilders with the amino acid profile specified right on the container. I consider it worth the difference, especially given that I don't have to use my limited cash to buy it, and it arrives on my doorstep in 48 hours as a Prime member.All the flavors I have tried so far (Banana Cream, Frosted Cinnamon Bun, and Brownie Batter) taste great, and mix well by hand in a shaker cup. This is important to me because if I have to bring out and clean a blender after each shake, I'd probably skip it some days. Also, I'm getting 50 grams of good, easily digestible protein (I use two scoops usually) that has not given me any gastric problems at all, for less than $2 a day average. I think that is a good deal. I can highly recommend this product.The flavor is as usual with vanilla. Not great but tolerable. The lid is a stander regular flat lid. Lid doesn’t have a flip up handle as shown in the advertising picture… thought it would be cool to have a handle… little let downPartendo dal presupposto che la marca è famosa e che non sono diciamo "regalate" (mi aspettavo un Kg invece sono 907gr), il rapporto carbo/proteine è molto simile ad altri prodotti: 33gr di prodotto hanno 3gr di carbo (2 zuccheri) e 25 di proteine.Avevo provato un'altra marca di cui non ricordo il nome che viene venduta nella mia palestra con lo stesso gusto "cookies and cream" e il sapore è esattamente lo stesso, buonissimo (contiene anche qualche chicco di cioccolato, può piacere o meno), non ha retrogusto sgradevole e, soprattutto, nel latte di riso si scioglie in maniera estremamente facile, mentre quelle prese in palestra creavano grumi nella "retina" interna allo shacker.Purtroppo non sono un professionista, mi servono solo per la colazione, quindi lascio a chi ne sa più di me per quanto riguarda la qualità "tecnica", io posso solo dirvi che il gusto cookies & cream è delizioso, a differenza di altri che hanno un retrogusto di cartone.Teuer aber sehr gut
