Great Taste, But Protein Content Is Lacking, And Pricey
First, I want to say that this is an exceptionally delicious powder mix. The consistency is velvety smooth, as tested in my Ninja blender. The flavor profile reminded me of an airy vanilla ice cream.<br /><br />My concerns lie here:<br /><br />You get 19.07oz of powder, so about 1.19lbs. At 18 grams per scoop, this might read out at 30 servings, but the overall amount of powder is half that of typical whey protein servings. Usually, you can get a 2lbs tub of whey, which would constitute this product being $50, as four times more expensive than a typical whey purchase. But this only takes into account, if I'm spending the same amount as I am here, which is almost never the case.<br /><br />This does have some added omega-3s from fish oil, which brings the overall cholesterol content from 2% per scoop, to just over 10%. I was concerned at first until I found that two capsules of fish oil, having that 8% difference. You definitely won't be double scooping this, which is stated on the container.<br /><br />I think this underperforms in the protein department, but that is why it's called a supplement. It's supposed to be an addition to ones nutrition.<br /><br />If you're someone who's lifting and trying to maximize muscle synthesis from a protein shake, many of which also have similar ingredients, this isn't for you. If I was going to recommend a protein powder product, I would most certainly go for something that has a minimum of 30 grams of protein. I've even seen some that offer up to 60 grams, where you could use a half dosage and get more out of your product. There's information that shows the body can absorb more protein per single sitting than previously thought.<br /><br />Let me end this describing something positive, and summarizing. The packaging is pretty nice, being made from cardstock or cardboard-like material, but the lid is not secure, so be careful. Other than that, this tastes pretty good, and even better if you add a zero calorie sweetener, or one with calories too, since this is pretty low because of the dosage.
