CytoSport Monster Milk, Vanilla Creme, Gluten Free, 4.13 Pound

I've tried several different types of protein supplements and although regular Muscle Milk (chocolate is my fav) taste better than Monster Milk (chocolate still my fav) the real deal is not only the protein but the BCAA (branch chain amino acids) and Glutemine (among other things) that are included in the Monster version which would cost you more if you bought those valuable supplements seperate. Now what i'm curious about is the mixing issue that so many people seem to be having with this product. I had a couple instances where i had some very small clumping in a regular shaker bottle but never anything serious. I ended up going to GNC and buying one of their shaker bottles that have a plastic insert in the bottle that sorta looks like a "tornado" twistie thing. (excuse my verbage). It was 6 bucks and works perfect. So here is my suggestion to those who have mixing issues...1)buy the mixing bottle i described above (best one i've ever used)2)use 14 ounces of very cold water (the colder the better for good mixing) for a 2 scoop serving.3)add the water first (never powder first unless you like huge lumps) and poor your two scoops of powder into the mixing bottle4)don't wait around. Put the lid on and shake that bad boy for about 30 seconds.5)take a deep breath, wrap your lips on the opening and chug chug chug without taking any breaths. (masks the taste a little and the point is to get it in your stomach and NOT savor it's moderately chalky chocolate taste anyways).6)rinse out your bottle and put it aside for the next time.I drink one serving in the morning, one serving immediately (i fill the mixing bottle at the gym and add the Monster Milk in the car) after my workout, and sometimes i'll have one in the evening if i didn't eat a protein enriched dinner. The only other supplements i use is a multivitamin (walmart mens-multi $7) and N.O.-XPLODE preworkout (1 scoop) for an energy boost and better pumps.Ok....all that said.... MONSTER MILK is pretty darn good so buy some. :-)

Got sick of the sweetener taste after a week

I am a long time user of cytosport products. This is the worst tasting protein powder I have ever had. It taste like cardboard and stinks like rotten garbage. I thought maybe they shipped me some very old product, but I was unable to find a date anywhere on the product. Stay away ! I will be going back to BSN.

I’ve tried a lot of different protein powders and Monster Milk is my Go-To protein. Although Monster may not taste the best, or have the most diverse set of nutrients/vitamins, Monster’s mix profile includes an adequate number of vitamins/nutrients AND a great supplement mix that would usually cost a whole lot more than if you were to buy the supplements separately. For instance, the inclusion of L-Glutatmine and Creatine are a great value. I especially like it that they fully disclose how much of each supplement you are receiving per serving, rather than hiding their numbers behind the phrase “proprietary blend.” This disclosure is one major reason why I choose Monster Milk rather than other protein brands, and it makes it extremely easy to compare apples to apples if you try to find these supplements as stand alone products. Also, if you’re concerned about the amount of protein you are taking per serving recommendation, use only 1 scoop and make your protein last longer. You’ll find that if you do just use one scoop, the protein and nutrient profile compares well and may even exceed against many other protein brands.

I USED TO LOVE MONSTER MILK...UNTIL I SWITCHED TO SYNTHA 6..I THOUGH I'D switch it up and order another until i blended me a shake after the gym and realized it was a big mistake..it tastes like hell...and now the tub is endless......skip it, unless you do not care for a grainy texture and awful taste...syntha 6 is the best.

this is a good product. i use it as pre/during/post workout drink. tastes good, gives a lot of protein. has creatin.one problem with this is it doesnt mix properly, even after heavy shaking. i solved it by 2 ways, which was not difficult for me. bought a shaker in walmart called 'core performance'. it costs around $6, it has one inner mesh. with that if you shake, it mixes easy and well. the shaker has other advantages also. but im not covering it here. the other way is to use a blender. both work for me.overall, great product. great effects. but if you want to bulk up, this is isnt the one.

I used plenty of protein powders before. This got me bloated really easily. I don't feel like I absorbed much of it. Have not been back for more

I had become a huge fan of Muscle Milk's Cake Batter flavor, which is like licking the spoon for homemade cake batter -- unbelievably delicious. So, when I wanted to try Monster Milk, decided to try the Brownie Batter flavor, and it is awesome! It smells and tastes like a freshly-mixed brownie batch just before baking. When mixed with water, the chocolate flavor is very good but not quite as bittersweet as I expected. I added a teaspoon of instant coffee to my next blender mix, and that got the flavor just right for me. This is a great muscle-building drink that can easily double as a satisfying dessert. Amazing.
