Animal Isolate Loaded Whey Protein Cookies & Cream 4 lb

It is a bit too sweet and can be quite sicking

I've done protien supplentation before, but they've always been smaller bottles as I've never really liked the texture or taste. Even those non flavored ones you can just mix with anything are kinda gross.I've been taking other Animal brand supplements for a while, and decided to give this stuff a try. HOLY MACARONI!! THIS STUFF IS DELICIOUS! Not only does it taste great, it mixes and disolves in water super easily. As far as I can tell, the enhanced additives for digestion and BCAAs are high quality. Love that the serving size in just one scoop too, and that it's under 200 calories. If you're looking to stay lean, this is definitely a no filler option. Oh, and the cookies and cream flavor also has little tiny chunks of cookie pieces in it. I don't care for them, I can take them or leave them. Yet, if you're mixing this with milk or taking double servings, they'd probably be a nice addition to a thicker drink.I'll also say, whoever made the call to make the scoops black, this was the right choice. You don't have to smack around the tub for 10 minutes looking for those hard to spot clear scoops than you can never fish out. I shook my tub for 3 seconds after opening it, boom. Saw the scoop right away.All in all, this is a really nice product, easy to mix and easy to use. Don't know why I waited so long to trust Animal protien when I've been taking other supplements from them for some time. 5/5 will continue to trust Animal

This Animal Whey Isolate protein powder is decent but doesn’t wow me. It mixes relatively well and provides a solid 25g+ of high-quality whey isolate protein per serving with low carbs and fats, which I appreciate for post-workout recovery.The Cookies & Cream flavor is okay — it has a mild sweetness and recognizable cookie taste, but it’s not as rich or enjoyable as some other brands I’ve tried. There’s a slight chalky/gritty texture that lingers even when shaken thoroughly in a blender bottle, and the aftertaste is a bit artificial.It’s a reputable brand with clean ingredients, but at this price point I expected better taste and smoother mixability. It gets the job done nutritionally, but I probably won’t repurchase this flavor. Fine for variety, but there are tastier options out there.A middle-of-the-road protein powder.

I've only tried 2 or 3 brands of whey protein over the years, and after trying a few, I've decided to stick with Animal Whey Isolate Powder mixes. The ingredients seem good, and the flavors are great! "Whey Isolate" is the way to go, and the added ingredients to aid digestion really help. I do not experience any gas, or other digestive issues, like other whey products that have me running for the bathroom. I've been using Animal Whey for the last 5 or 6 years now. I've only tried a few of the flavors though.For a while I was ordering Frosted Cinnamon Bun, which is an excellent flavor choice, if you are into creamy flavors. Then I switched it up to Brownie Batter for years, it's an amazing flavor, with little bits of what look like chocolate chips in there, but I'm not sure XD. With my last order, I decided to go with Cookies & Cream, because it was a bit cheaper than the brownie batter. I just received the package now, and mixed some up for a taste test. It reminds me a bit of the Frosted Cinnamon Bun flavor, but better in some way. I can't place my finger on it. It's got a very creamy flavor to it, and reminds me of "Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme(Cream)" candy bars. That being said, they've nailed the flavor profile again. If you like cookies and cream flavor, you will enjoy this one.Moving forward I'll test out a few more flavors, to add some variety :). From the reviews I've read, and the few I've tried, I think any flavor will be good as long as it's not something you normally distaste. Some folks hate bananas, for those who do, do not order banana flavor and expect a good time XDI normally start my day off by sipping one protein shake after my morning supplements, while I get started working on business projects, checking emails, writing an article, etc. Shortly after that I get out for a hike in nature, or some other exercise if the weather is nasty, then return to work afterwards. I definitely notice the protein shakes hitting me, even as I drink them. Although I am very sensitive to chemical changes in my body, and the resulting change in consciousness. Your results may vary.I definitely notice a difference on the days I miss my morning shake though. It's not a tremendous difference. Though, I do feel a bit off, a bit cranky, and not as much energy/motivation. Depending on how much protein I have gotten in a day, I may have another shake an hour or so before bedtime. I find I even sleep better after a shake, even though it seems like it would be counter intuitive. I've read articles for and against having protein at night. It all depends on where your body is at, and your calorie intake that day. Personally, I'd rather reach for a tasty protein shake, for some night time desert, over some other food that would be worse off eating before bed. My sweet tooth activates some nights...They definitely get 5 stars from me. I don't write reviews often, but felt compelled after trying a new flavor. I've never had any issues, besides the scoop being buried, which happens with any powdered supplement. I just hang onto the scoop from the previous container, until I get down to the one that is in there.If you are looking for a solid protein product, I suggest giving them a try :)
