Ok so as promised I'm going to talk to you about the protein powder I bought.
I was really hoping for something good here because i read alot of reviews that sang its praises but then again, lots of people sang the praises of Max Protein and i didn't like that at all. But still, it sounded so good Cinnamon Roll flavor..i really wanted it to be good. This tub is 1.5lbs and it cost me about $13 ($20 with shipping). Which is def more of a deal than Max Protein which the smallest tub they sell is 2lbs and its $45. Give me a fucking break.
When I got it I opened it and smelled it. Pretty strong smell. Hmmm..I immediately made a batch with some milk. It was....good. You know how when you first taste something your taste buds are on alert to catch every single taste?? Well thats what mine were doing. and I was a bit skeptical. I was like...hmm...its good i guess. It was really really creamy, and thick like a milkshake. And that was just in the shaker. I gave it to my husband and he drank it all.
Then I tried it and added some sugar free Torani Irish Cream syrup. WOAH MAMA!!! this tasted like dessert alright!! It tasted like...do you guys remember Bennigans? They had mudslides and Celtic Creamsicle. Well it tasted like a celtic creamsicle which was my FAV!! wow.
I used it to make protein ice cream and it came out yum. I also wanna use it in pancaked and oatmeal. This stuff has amazing potential.
I just had a shake this morning. The more you have it the less your tastebuds are at alert to taste any imperfections. You just taste the creamy cinnamony goodness. The Irish Cream syrup does really take it to that next level though. So glad i have it! I have all these torani flavors i haven't used yet and now i'm getting a lot of use out of this one.
Its been 5 months and I finally found a protein powder I like. I guess Shelly was right, you gotta keep looking and eventually you'll find one that works for you.
One thing i've learned while mixing these syrups with stuff is this. never use sweet chocolatey syrups (chocolate, caramel, irish cream, vanilla, pumpkin) with greek yogurt. its awful. stick to fruity things like mango, strawberry, blueberries, etc). I've learned that the hard way. yuck.
By the way if you wanna see pics of the shake i made or the ice cream check out my food blog here http://sushifabush.tumblr.com/post/2877318092/cinnamon-roll-protein-powder
