Product Reviews of DESIGNER WHEY Protein Powder Supplement, French Vanilla, 12-Ounce Canister (Pack of 2)
Product Review: Energy booster
Summary: 4 Stars
I usually dump a scoop of this, a banana, lil sugar, ice and milk into the blender and make a quick smoothie. Its yummy, and easy. I have found that I have a lot more energy left over at the end of the day when I add this to my diet. Overall, pretty good. I'm not giving it 5 stars becos I really dont like the taste when I mix it just with milk (no blender, just stirring with a spoon).Product Review: Expensive
Summary: 5 Stars
Works great and doesn't have too many ingredients that I can't pronounce. It's also low in sugar and uses stevia for sweetening.
I don't understand why it's so expensive on Amazon. I got a 12.7 oz container for about $11.00 at Trader Joe's. Even for a pack of two this price seems way too high.
Product Review: Seems to work, mixes pretty well, tastes ok.
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
