It's protein powder that is a mix of Whey, Casein and Egg Proteins so it will work more or less the same as equivalent products.The main thing here is how it mixes and how it tastes. It mixes fine, but the taste is pretty terrible. The sweetener these used is bad and reminds me of Stevia (the grossest of all sweetners). I've used about 1/2 of the tub and stopped a number of months ago cause this stuff is just...gross. It's gross as a shake or just drinking it by itself.It's difficult to find Protein Powders marketed as being a protein "blend", but in general, what you're looking for is Milk Protein Isolate (which is automatically a blend of Whey and Casein). If you came across this looking for protein blends (which is how I ended up here), look for Milk Protein Isolates which give you a lot more variety and (likely) significantly better taste.Great taste no chalkiness and keeps me fullI've been using this powder for years now and it's still my favorite, and a great value. It has quality ingredients, different kinds of protein, and even when just shaking it with water, it tastes great.I have tried so many different protein powders and I am so happy I found this one. All the other ones taste horrible and are full of junk. I usually mix it with some frozen fruit, fresh banana, and some non-fat protein milk. Delicious !! I usually just do one scoop, still, 25 grams of protein as 2 scoops is a bit much for me in one sitting. I prefer to spread them out throughout the day. As long as this one is around and available I will not choose another one.Tried the dark chocolate flavor first and was extremely happy with the taste, it was good with water but obviously much better with milk. Keeps me full for a long time like a regular meal, vs the whey-only ones. Love to add ice and make a frozen smoothie/“milkshake” in summer and use with hot milk in winter for a “hot chocolate” version. Recently bought the vanilla to try another flavor and it’s really good too. Love that they both aren’t overly sweet and have no artificial sweeteners. Highly recommended!I have tried three flavors of the Trutein Naturals now. Dark chocolate was my last favorite, but was still good. The Vanilla is very good, and the cinnabun is great. I know that some people are deterred because this isn't the cheapest protein out there, but it is the best suited for my needs. I also appreciate that Body Nutrition is a US Veteran owned company, and that Trutein (Not so much the naturals) have some pretty awesome flavors like Lemon Meringue, Eggnog, Mocha, and Shamrock ShakeHaving a blend of whey, casein, and egg white protein is important to me. So many people don't seem to understand why their whey isn't all purpose. If I know I'm going to be gone for a while, I want something that is filling and delivers the immediate protein I need, as well as slower-digesting protein to keep me at my best until my next meal.This sample pack, that I purchased was ok and mixed well. I wish some of the ingredients in it was different. Not a bad choice for a protein blend if that is what you are seeking. The natural vanilla bean flavor was ok and not the best that I have tried with other brands.This was my third tub of Trutein CinnaBun. My favorite protein when I am looking to sit back and enjoy my shake. Many other proteins, I feel the need to down as quick as possible and move on.Mixability:-Little to no clumps when shaken-Blending results in minimal frothTaste:-Other than being sweetened by Stevia, the most natural tasting protein I’ve had-Only non-chocolate flavor I have been able to drink multiple tubs of without tiring of flavor-Tastes great with common mix-ins (peanut butter, yogurt, banana)Overall:-Contains no artificial ingredients and the ‘open label’ means that what you see is what you get-Inclusion of 5.5g of BCAAs and 4.8g of Glutamines, means that you can save money on additional supplements-Protein blend of casein, whey and egg whites makes this a good option any time of day or night as a means of nourishing muscles overnight.I have and will continue to recommend this product to friends.A++
