> 3 daySince Ive joined a gym and begun to focus on what goes in my body, Im working towards a moderate-protein, 1200ish calorie-a-day diet. I used to be an athlete in college, and I know how gross some protein shakes can be; many are just downright unpalatable. I did some research about protein powders with a decent amount of protein that both mix well and taste great, and I ordered Syntha-6 Chocolate Milkshake. For nearly a month, I consumed this flavor 1-3 days depending on my nutritional needs, workouts, etc. In order to attain some variety, I also ordered Orange Smoothie, Mochaccino, and Chocolate Mint. I also have subscribed to the Vanilla Ice Cream flavor, but it has yet to come. I mix all flavors with water and ice. Chocolate Milkshake: Taste - 8/10. Very creamy, tastes a lot like a variation of chocolate milk just with water. This flavor is also excellent blended with a teaspoon of peanut butter or 2/3 cup of frozen strawberries. Orange Smoothie : Taste - 5/10. Its ok. Its going to be my bottom-of-the-barrell, use-it-only-when-its-my-only-option flavor. It tastes too off, almost like orange fluoride from the dentist. Still very creamy. I blended it with ice and blue berries and it was WAY better-tasting than just with the powder alone. Mochaccino: Taste- 7/10. Its good and gets me through coffee cravings. Sometimes Ill just say screw it and make a blended drink much like large coffee chains do, but Ill use the power, ice, and and a to-go packet of instant coffee in the blender. It does kind of have a funky aftertaste. Chocolate Mint: Taste - 10/10. My favorite flavor so far by a long shot. Since I dont eat sweets, the Chocolate Mint flavor satisfies my cravings for Girl Scout Thin Mints, Andes Mints, and mint chocolate chip ice cream all in one. I cannot emphasize how great it tastes. The minty flavor stays with me like mint normally does, like fresh feeling in the mouth and back of throat.

22-11-2024Everyone hates a lawn out of fashion. I went to plant winter grass seed this season and covered the entire lawn afterwards with Syntha-6. Who says the grass is greener on the other side ?

> 3 dayOne of the best protein powders out there. Strawberry tastes great and mixes well. You just have to give it a good shake.

> 3 dayMy go-to source for whey protein for the last 12+ months, the chocolate powder is truly a delicious treat after an intense weight training session or if Im short on time and need a quick meal for breakfast. TASTE: 8/10 My goals are primary strength and power oriented, and this supplement is deceptively boring to most trainees; the whey sold by Syntha-6 is the exception to that general attitude. The taste is better than any other brand Ive sampled, with the exception of maybe Muscle MIlk - but this product is whey, and its more useful for post-workout nutrition than the casein in Muscle Milk. I digress; the taste is awesome, the consistency is not very thick when mixed with water or even milk (so while its not like a milkshake, it has a pleasant consistency that does the job). PRICE: 7/10 Whey is always expensive - especially flavored whey. But Syntha-6 is competitively priced at ~$50/5lb supply, and it certainly beats GNCs outrageous pricing. SHIPPING: 10/10 Always 2 days with Prime. CONSISTENCY OF SERVICE/QUALITY: 9/10 Product always arrives with the accurate amount, flavor, and is always fresh. This whey protein is not whey isolate (isolate has a higher absorption rate and is thus more effective), but consumers buying this product know that and the price for whey concentrate here is more than fair. I dont think shelling out 1.5x more cash to benefit from 20-30% higher absorption rates is worth the money. This product is thus ideal for serious athletes on a budget. PACKAGING: 10/10 Arrives in a box; the jug of powder has a seal that is easily removd. Unlike a lot of protein brands, locating the little scoop is relatively easy to do with this product. Jug is durable. OVERALL: 8.5/10 Perfect source of whey protein at a competitive price. Taste is great - in fact, I primarily use water and mix 1-2 scoops with creatine and D-ribose, and the taste is still delicious for protein. With milk it tastes virtually like chocolate milk should, but is slightly thicker in consisteny. Never had an issue to contact the vendor over, but delivery is reliable at ~2 days via Prime over the past 12+ months. Overall, this is a tremendous buy that you should jump on once youre in need of more whey to fuel your gains!

> 3 dayTried a lot of protein powders and this one works well and tastes good. Use it in shakes, smoothies and over yogurt. We also have used it in protein balls and it is good for that too! We will continue to purchase it although the price has gone up almost 50%.

> 3 dayI used to buy it at GNC , but most of them have closed down. This is the only protein that I like and it’s harder to find now.

> 3 dayChocolate milkshake flavor tastes great with milk. Better than a milkshake at your favorite ice cream joint.

Greater than one weekThe first couple times I was expecting strawberry but the milkshake has worked out good. I use it in my smoothie. I blend 1 frozen banana, 1 cup frozen strawberries, 1 cup frozen wild blueberries, 1/2 cup cherries and some green powders or just greens and one scoop of this. 2 scoops is overwhelming unless you are making a very large smoothie. I blend it thick like a milkshake. I have one every other day or so and have been feeling great. I like the strawberry milkshake flavor and like I said it took a couple tries until it really worked for me. Im not a chocolate guy and the vanilla is just to overwhelming so this is perfect.
