EDIT: 6/30/18<br />I used to back all of Daves products 100% but I have to be honest here...things have changed. Fiberlyze has changed, it's not as effective and now I've noticed isolyze has changed. It doesn't mix as well as it used to and it's starting to upset my stomach. I cannot recommend this or any species product anymore sadly.<br /><br />My review is for the chocolate milk flavor...I add that note because other flavors, cookies and cream for example, doesn't mix as well. So be aware different flavors may not act the way chocolate milk does.<br /><br />That said, This is the best protein I have ever used period...I have used every high end protein available....Iso 100, pesto pro, etc. I just recently switched from iso 100 to isolyze. So the first thing i notice, mixability...isolyze just mixes better. I eat a lot of greek yogurt and I usually flavor 300g greek yogurt with a scoop of protein. When I added the idolize for the first time, it didn't clump, it just mixed into the yogurt so easily. With iso 100 I would get clumps and I'd have to add a bit of water to get it mixed. That there tells me idolize is just more pure...less fillers like xantham gum, etc. Same when mixed with water, just so smooth and the flavor is not overpowering....also very smooth.<br /><br />If you want the best protein powder out there, in my 12 years experience taking supplements, this is one of the best. I actually hate being the brand loyal guy...I feel like sometimes people buy into some idea like a freakin cult without legitimate reasons....just because they're the best. I do not feel that way....these product are literally the best I've used, thats why I'm loyal to species. If they ever cut corners and change their production, ill be the first one to call them out and stop using the product. As of now though, they are the best. I think nordic naturals makes abetter fish oil but other than that, can't go wrong here.

I dont know what happened this time I bought this product either they got the formula wrong at the factory or something but it doesnt blend properly and it clumps up even in the container it comes in

When you go to mix the protein it forms a thick paste at the button and the other 5/6 of the glass is all foam. I thought it was a fluke and had them send me a replacement. The next one is the exact same. I use species all the time because it is usually the best. Amazon has a bad batch and they keep selling it

I’ve always used this brand and I love it except this time when I opened the container it looked and smelled a little odd. The powder was clumpy and the smell was a bit rancid. I went ahead and made the shake anyway thinking it was just me. Nope. It tasted sour and I had to throw it away. By the time I opened the container it was past the time allowed for returns. I didn’t open the container right away as I had another one to finish first. Now I feel it was wasted money since I’ll have to throw away the whole container. Don’t get me wrong, if you’re looking for a great protein shake, this is the one. Just wish I could have exchanged it for another one that wasn’t spoiled although with the expiration date it had, it shouldn’t have been.

Used to be good until they changed their quality. Now it clumps up and you can tell a completely different mix. Do not waste your hard earned money buying this low quality protein.

After training protein. I mix it with a scoop of Fiberize mango flavor. Also use it before morning workouts when I don’t want to eat a breakfast before the workout. Quality protein, taste good, mixes well in shaker, easy, done, moving on. I’ve been using it regularly for over two years - so a repeat customer.
