5.0 out of 5 stars Seems to work, mixes pretty well, tastes ok., October 12, 2009

This review is from: DESIGNER WHEY Protein Powder Supplement, French Vanilla, 12-Ounce Canister (Pack of 2) (Grocery)

I was looking to gain more muscle from my workouts, and picked this based on having tried the DESIGNER WHEY Protein 2GO Pak, Pomegranate Fruit, 10 Count .53 Oz Packets (Pack of 2). This also uses Whey protein (a must), and comes in reasonably mid-sized containers. Tasting reasonable without too many fake ingredients was also a requirement.

(seriously though, why do most protein mixes come in gigantic jugs the size of my head, or overpriced mini portions?)

This protein powder seems to work for me. I'd had trouble adding lean mass despite working out regularly, since getting enough protein from my diet usually meant getting too many calories. So, I stepped up my strength building, having a serving of this mix right after every workout and I've noticed a difference in how much muscle I've added since.

It mixes/dissolves reasonably well in a tall glass with a spoon (more so with room temperature water than with chilled). The directions recommend using a blender, but I've never bothered. There's a residue left in the glass but nearly all of it dissolves typically. The recommended serving mixed with 12oz of water tastes bland like skim milk. Far from repulsive, but not particularly yummy. I'd call the taste acceptable.

The sweetener used is oligofructose which seems to be more natural/healthful than the Aspartame-like sweeteners used in other products.

Recommended for building lean mass in combination with strength training. After going through 3 canisters, I'm going to keep using it. Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best natural tasting whey out there, November 22, 2009

This review is from: Designer Whey Protein Powder French Vanilla, All Natural Ingredients (Health and Beauty)

I tried the smaller 2 lb little brother, and loved the taste and fast dissolving action. It's perfect, not too sweet, yet packed with protein. While it might seem a bit pricey, just think of how many dollars you save from not consuming all those extra meals!

I use 1 to 1.5 scoops, and make a delicious shake. Add 2 ripened bananas, some semi-frozen strawberries (using frozen strawberries gives a frozen yogurt consistency), peaches, pineapples, and papaya. I recommend using soy milk, with a touch of regular milk to your fruit shake. Regular milk is too thin and liquid-y.

Additionally, adding fruits is a MUST! I've tried the protein dissolved only in water and/or milk, and it doesn't taste nearly as good. In fact, it tastes pretty bad.

Helps me recover faster from workouts, and keeps me full most of the day. For the rest of my meals, I eat smaller portions, mainly fresh fruits, vegetables, and a small bit of fish or chicken breast.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tastes Better Than The Others!, June 7, 2009

This review is from: DESIGNER WHEY Protein Powder Supplement, French Vanilla, 4-Pound Container (Grocery)

I've tried dozens of vanilla flavored protein powders over the years and they all seem to have a chalk-like taste. Not this one. It's smooth and creamy and full of vitamins and minerals. I use it with soy milk and some blueberries, sometimes banana and it's wonderful. This size is a bargain too!
