EAS Recovery Protein Powder, Chocolate, 1.8 Pound, 11 Servings

The taste and texture is what threw me off

I got the chocolate flavor. It is an excellent drink. I put a little milk into it when mixing (1-2 spoons). I drink it after workout and as a drink during the day. I don't drink juice or sugary drinks so when I want something other than water I drink this. With respect to recovery, its hard to say if it makes a difference, my primary goal is something that is nice tasting and fills me up to reduce hunger pangs. This drink meets my requirements.

I like the idea of HMB even though reviews are mixed. The product tastes good and I'm using it as recommended. It's a little too soon to notice a big difference but I do feel less sore the next day. I also use the EAS Whey Protein with BCAA'S. I like EAS products I think they work well. I just wanted to try HMB with protein and I trust EAS.

I used to use EAS soy chocolate protein powder which tasted so amazing I loved drinking it after my insanity workouts. I bought this whey protein EAS chocolate drink because I read that whey is best for intense workouts with recovery in mind.CONS: Tastes horrible! Tastes like cardboard, I do not look forward to drinking after workouts. Also, it seems like a lot of powder but you need two LARGE scoops per drink....which means I doubt this powder will last me a whole month.PROS: After drinking this I feel satisfied and content. The next day my muscles seem to have recovered a lot better than using the EAS soy protein and I do no feel sore. This is a very important pro in my opinion, who cares if the drink tastes good but does not do what it should, right?

I mix it with whole milk for extra protein and I use a shaker bottle with a ball. The stuff mixes well without much grit and the taste is like a chocolate shake. Helps keep away the soreness and makes the next days workout not seem like a butt drag.

CONs: Taste bad. It was terrible with water and still bad with milk. Not the worst I have had, but bad enough that I returned the left overs. I will not be buying this formula again. If chocolare taste this bad, I can't imagine how bad the Vanilla taste in this blend.PROs: None for me. It's a decent blend for a specific purpose.Comments: Has a high sugar content. Almost as much sugar as protein. 17g sugar, 20g protein. Decent blend for post workout, which is what it's designed for.I thought with the high sugar content that it was going to taste really good. But it taste really bad. So if I can't get it down, it won't do me any good.

I liked this stuff until I tried other protein powers. The taste isnt as good as other powders and it doesn't mix as well. I liked the ingredients and the effects it had, but couldn't get past the chalkiness and the lack of easy mixing with milk.

I love this stuff. I mix it with whole milk and it's actually tasty (as protein powders go). Plus I find that I recover very well. I get my energy back more quickly and I'm less sore, indicating the muscles are rebuilding more quickly. Definitely a winner for me.
