If you notice, every review is about taste...<br />We get it—protein powder taste is big. But c'mon, choke it down.<br />The REAL great thing about Trutein is the ingredient profile. TOO MANY people drink whey protein as meal replacements.<br />That's a horrible idea. Whey just digests too fast to replicate an actual meal. You basically NEED slower digesting proteins IF you want to have this at random times during the day. Basically, whey is just good post workout when you NEED digestion fast.<br /><br />But Trutein has whey, egg and casein, basically mimicking a meal digestion. Great for a shake during the day with some almonds.<br />Its very hard to find protein-mix powders that are decently priced and/or have a good profile. Too many add gross soy protein isolate as well.<br />Trutein is leaps and bounds better than the competition. THAT'S why it gets 5 stars. Oh yeah, and it tastes pretty good too.

This stuff is the most amazing tasting protein powder ever! I have tried many many flavors over the years and this one is by far better than anything I have ever tasted. I love the ingredients, the low carb count and good stuff in it. I have used it in my post workout shakes almost daily but more than that, I have been using it to cook with as well. I have made several batches of protein bars and have used it in my one minute muffins and in a protein coffee I sometimes make. You can't go wrong with this brand or this flavor. My other favorite flavor is Cinnabun.

Pros: Taste is very nice and it seems to help me recover after a hard workout with the protien that my body needs. Best tasting protein ever.<br /><br />Cons: price is a little steep, come on truenutrition help us out on the price! I did not wiegh it yet but the tub was only half full when I got it. I would really like to see a full tub of product for the price.

I bought as much of the "sample" sizes i could to try out as much flavors as possible b/c once you buy a tub & open it, well, u know. And i have to say of ALL the 10 flavors, the banana creme - WOW - & u don't have to put a lot of the powder like the others & i already taste the bananas. Other protein brands don't even compare in banana flavor. The 2nd runner up is the lemon meringue & the rest, all even. What i noticed w/ the rest, red velvet, smores, mocha, strawberry creme, salt n caramel, etc. i have to use 1/2 the sample bag to get the flavor out. W/ the banana, maybe 1 full tablesp., lemon meringue, 2 tbs. I wish most brands would provide sample bags like this brand b/c it's the way to go before you buy a 2 or 4lb tub. The powder itself i had no problems w/ blending, i NEVER do nhow, as long as i use my Nutribullet. Otherwise, shaking it violently yourself just doesn't cut it! NO matter what protein brand u use.

I never think &#34;Chocolate Peanut Butter&#34; or whatever it is that they tell you that the flavors are when I drink protein blends. That said, mixed with just water, Trutein provides the best flavor (Chocolate Peanut Butter is more like &#34;essence of. . .&#34;) that I've ever tasted. Also, it blends very smoothly and even gets a bit foamy. If you're going to blend with milk alternatives like almond milk, get the original or unsweetened version of the almond milk. The blend will likely be too sweet, otherwise.

I started working out over a year ago & noticed that I wasn't getting enough protein to fuel my body. So I started asking around & buying trial packs of protein & found some that had an ok flavor.....but I didn't feel satisfied as far as hunger goes. So I researched for a few weeks looking for the perfect protein. I knew I wanted a whey & casein blend, the whey is fast absorbing & the casein is a slower absorbing protein. So I ordered the trutein (vanilla bean) & made my first protein shake with it. It was so good, it was like cheating on my diet. The directions say to mix it with 8oz of water or milk, I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk to cut the calories down. I also found that adding 2Tbsp powdered peanut butter & a banana make it taste so so good. Also I use 12oz of almond milk because the flavor is strong enough to flavor it with one scoop & adding the extra almond milk only adds 15 more calories. This shake helped me feel satisfied & held me over for a couple of hours until a meal, plus I noticed I wasn't feeling tired & worn out like I was before I started making the shakes. I have tried a couple of different brands since trying the trutein only because I was out & needed it immediately but I always, always go back to my trutein. If you've never tried it go for it, you will love the taste & the satiety.
