This is the best
By E. Lowe
I've been weight training for about 6 years and in that time have used just about every major brand of protein supplement and meal supplement - EAS (Myoplex, Whey), NitroTech, Optimum Whey, MET-Rx, Designer, GNC, etc. Labrada's V60 continues to be my favorite.As far as flavor, the vanilla tastes as good or better than the other protein powders I've had. The chocolate is mediocre, not quite as good as Myoplex. The banana flavor...well, you might want to pass on that one. My personal recommendation would be to get the vanilla and add a small amount of chocolate or strawberry syrup, bananas or peanut butter if the flavor becomes boring.It mixes easily so it can be put in a shaker cup or tossed on a bowl of cereal for breakfast.It's not a meal replacement, and doesn't contain additional vitamins and minerals like Myoplex or ProPlete, so I wouldn't recommend it as a complete meal replacement - at very least take a multivite with it. The plus side is that this keeps the carbs and calories relatively low for consuming 60g protein (most other brands deliver around 40g protein for the same calories/carbs).Now whether the body can actually use 60g of protein in one dose is still up for debate. Since this is a relatively high dose of protein (assuming you're consuming 4-6 30g scoops per day), I would strongly recommend consuming a half gallon of water each day to minimize the strain this puts on the kidneys.

Great yummy taste....
By Helen Chrysanthou
The manager at my gym recommended me this product when I first signed up. It is packed full of protein and nutrients. I sometimes replace a meal with this shake.This by far is the best flavor. I have tried the Strawberry and it was too strong and overpowering. The vanilla works well. I put it in my oatmeal, plain yogurt or as a yummy shake with fat free milk with ice. It seriously tastes as good as McDonald's milkshakes...but of course much better for you. I am all for that.Enjoy!

Smooth Mix
By Carl Brown
Regardless of what you have read, this product mixes smoothly in a blender or with a spoon. I use this everyday and the only thing I can tell you is, you may need to have a spoon handy, if you use a blender, to scrape the excess powder off the sides of the blender back into the mix. 10-15 seconds you have a smooth fairly decent tasting shake. I add fruit, and would suggest you do too. 16 oz of milk= about 30 oz of shake. I drink one for breakfast and am not hungry all day. Its ideal for meal replacement, or for somebody looking to build muscle. 60g protein and 310 calories. I recommend this product for those looking to lose weight, or build muscle without consuming thousands of calories per shake.
