FAR FROM ELITE!
By Travis Deputy
Gaspari should have stuck with the original formula and maybe just changed what protein types were in it, if he felt the need to do so. And not added a big no no to this. The Probiotic series is nasty garbarge. This Elite series is complete garbage(there's something in it that makes it complete garbage... yep, this is the big no no I referred to) as you find out later in the review as to why I think so or you can skip to the last paragraph now and find out. I bought a 2 lb. container of the Strawberries and Cream flavor and did so because I loved the original Myofusion Strawberries and Cream so much. Big mistake!VALUE: First off, I paid $35 for a 2 lb. container with 26 scoops at 25g of protein per scoop and that's the cheapest price I could find anywhere and this was about 5 or 6 days ago. Normally, I wouldn't pay that much for a 2 pound container of protein, but I just had to try this stuff. I kind of wish I hadn't. If you take two scoops a day this will last you less than 2 weeks. That's some pricey protein! Value gets a 2 out of 10.TASTE: I can't comment on the other flavors, but the Strawberries and Cream flavor is not very good. I'd give the flavor a 6 out of 10. It's doable, but that's about it. A lot of people say tastes doesn't matter.... to that I say bull crap. Tastes does matter! If doesn't, then I've some nice piles of dog doo in back yard I'll let you snack on and I'm guessing it wouldn't be very tasty. Joking aside, when I drink a protein shake I actually like to enjoy it. I look at it this way: If you have the option to buy a protein that tastes great and is of high quality, then why buy a bad tasting one. There are plenty of high quality tasty protein powders out there. This Strawberry flavor is not even close to the original Myofusion Strawberry flavor. It tasted awesome! This one not so much. It does taste slightly better in milk than water.MIXABILITY: Had no issues here. Mixed each scoop with 8 ounces of milk or water(just like it recommends) and the consistency was fine either way with no clumping. I used both types of liquid in shaker ball cup and a regular shaker cup and, again, no issues with either cup. I can't comment on mixing it in a glass(who does that anyway!) FYI, I shook it for about 20 seconds. So, a 10 out of 10 here.QUALITY: Myofusion seems to put high quality protein in their products. This blend contains a combination of slow, medium, and fast proteins(whey protein concentrate, milk protein isolate, whey protein isolate, and micellar casein listed in that order on the label) Now, if what I've read is true, then there probably isn't a lot of whey isolate or micellar casein in it. From what I've read, the proteins listed furtherest(is that a word?) from the first contain the smallest amount. Also, I would like to know how the isolate was processed. Was it ultra cold-filtered? Since Gaspari doesn't disclose this we may never know. It is also gluten free, synthetic color free, and is supposedly abundant in BCAA's. It says on the ingredient label that it contains Taurine. Again, how much? At least Gaspari disclosed how much Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine are in each serving(about 2 grams, 1.2 grams and 1.2 grams respectively) Pretty decent there. Okay, before I give my rating on quality, let me tell you about my main gripe(it's a big'un) with this protein, aside from taste....I didn't know this prior to buying it b/c I had not read any reviews on it, but as soon as I read the ingredient label I saw it contain PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED SOYBEAN OIL. That is not a good thing, especially for a protein. PHSO is essentially trans fat and is quite bad for you because it sticks to the walls of your arteries and will possibly eventually lead to heart problems. After I discovered this idiotic ingredient I checked online reviews to see if anyone else had beef with this and sure enough a bunch of people have complained about it. Why would you put that in there Gaspari? Oh wait, I know! You gave a lame excuse that was so lame I don't even remember what it was, but you can easily find it online. To be honest, really healthy people, like myself, can use this with the PHSO in it and it probably will not affect them much(at least not in the short term), though I wouldn't recommend it. But for unhealthy people this is a big no no. Might as well go fill up on Kit Kat bars. They certainly taste better.So, my rating for quality for this is, yep, you guessed it, a big fat goose egg 0 out of 10. I definitely will not be buying anymore of it. I probably will finish off this container because I really hate to waste money. So, I guess you could say all the other previous catergories I rated are a nonissue b/c of this. I had to rate the other catergories so it would be a complete review and not a review of one major issue.My recommendation is that you avoid this stuff and buy something tastier and healthier or wait for Gaspari to recall this stuff and "fix it". I just can't give this a good review knowing it's got PHSO in it, which is terribly bad for you. But if your health and well being are not important to you(they should be!) then go for it. There's nothing ELITE about Gaspari's new Myofusion, sadly:(

One of the best tasting
By Allen Spadafore
One of the best tasting proteins I've ever had. I could actually just drink this as a snack instead of something I choke down for the benefit of it after a work out. There are definitely some cheaper proteins out there, but for the taste I think this is worth a few extra bucks. It has the aminos and various types of proteins that I'm looking for.
