Muscle Milk Anyone?

[bas 0]

GNC is having a sale on Muscle Milk Protein Powder. Has anyone tried this before and if so, what flavor is good?

I've never had the powder form, but I have had the pre-made muscle milk and it was DISGUSTING! Yuck, Yuck, Yuck!! It could have been so nasty because it was the "light" kind. I dunno, but I definitely wouldn't recommend those.

Good luck!

My husband loves them but they are very high in calories (300 cals for the premixed ones) I find them very sweet almost too much so.

Thanks GA Girl. By the way, I think it was you that posted the Creamy Spinach Dip chicken salad. I'm making it for lunch tomorrow. Can't wait to try it!

Ditto all this...LOL! The Cookies and cream was so bad, that the root beer float has just sat it my fridge. I am scared to try it.

Blechhhh. (my 2 cents). Threw out most of a 4 pack. :cursing:

I nver used this I did ask the nurse and she told me not to use this yet to wait until I get more weight off because it could add some weight at first. I still use the nectar by Syntrex and it has helped me a great deal.

I take Muscle Milk Light vanilla and really like it. It's the powder version. I mix in a little ground cinnamon and vanilla extract and it's very tasty. The regular version is very high in calories but the light version isn't bad.

In fact, I tried a lot of different Protein drinks and I like this one the best. Everyone's taste is different, though, so you just need to find the one you like.

I haven't tried the powder but I LOVE the chocolate Malt and Strawberries 'n' Cream Ready to Drink shakes. The Cookies and Cream was too sweet though. GNC has the RTDs on sale too.

Too high in calorie, too thick, it makes me gag, and yes, it has high Protein, but that's about all it has. It doesn't have balanced nutrition, or other Vitamins and minerals like Slim Fast or something. I didn't like it at all.

I tried the regular chocolate. It wasn't that bad going down. The aftertaste was yucky! Definately that "protein" drink flavor. Oh - mine was the premade from a convenience store.

I've always used the Muscle Milk Light powder, not the ready-to-drink in the 4 packs. I tried the ready-to-drink, first (chocolate) and it was disgusting! It's like you couldn't shake it up enough so there were always chunks in the bottom and the aftertaste was terrible. But my husband bought me 2 different kinds in the powder from GNC. One was the chocolate milk (yuck) and the other was the chocolate Peanut Butter flavor, which sounds gross I know, but it isn't nearly as bad. It is actually milder than the plain chocolate and it doesn't really have a Peanut Butter taste at all. I didn't find the aftertaste to be as bad or maybe I just got used to it. I always mixied it w/fat-free milk and ice and shook it up as well as I could. I did find the colder it was, the better.

I also found a website cheapvitamins.com that sold it for almost half of what GNC was selling it for and they had a bunch more flavors to choose from. i just stuck with the choc/pb because I was too chicken to try anything else. I had already wasted money on a huge thing of the nectar Protein Powder mix and I couldn't get past the smell much less the taste!

Everyone just has different preferences and I haven't heard anyone yet talk about how much they loved their Protein drink!!Good luck!

Thanks everyone for your input, it's been very helpful! Even though GNC has a return policy if you don't like something, I wanted to skip that step and find out if it's any good before buying it!

I've been using chocolate Isopure, and it's good, but I'm about out and looking at other options. It's just so crazy that it only comes in large containters and you have to shell out $68 at a time!

Thanks again!

Pre mixed is nasty - I use the chocolate Milk LIGHT (not regular). GNC does carry it - however, my local smoothie King has it for alot cheaper. I LOVE IT!!!!!! Tastes great with Water - but even better with skim milk!!!!
