Designer Whey Changes Formula in Wrong Direction
By Ford
I have been using this product for several years. My subscribe and save 4lb tub arrived today. I was shocked to read the revised contents list. Two additional grams of powder are now required to get the same protein. What was 70 servings at 18 grams of protein each is now 65 servings. The cholesterol and salt content have increased. Most disappointing of all, the mgs of almost all of the amino acids have been markedly decreased. This product's food value has been diminished without notice or warning. I have cancelled my subscription and will no longer be buying this product.

Reformulated. Now with artificial sweeteners :(
By B. Johnson
This used to be one of the few supplements I could use because it contained only natural stevia sweeteners. They have since changed to a sucralose/splenda sweetener that gives me horrible migraines. Designer Whey is no different than EAS/ Muscle Milk, etc that all contain artificial sweeteners. Given that it no longer has any unique characteristics why would anyone pay the premium they ask for this?

Great protein, dissolves well, but sucralose gives a fake sweetness
By Omar Siddique
Designer Whey is my protein mix of choice, so when my usual DESIGNER WHEY French Vanilla was out of stock, I thought I'd try this one. I've had good luck with building lean mass using whey.Sadly, this version (unlike my usual) has sucralose, aka Splenda. (it wasn't mentioned in the amazon listing at the time). While that's better than Aspartame (aka Nutrasweet), I normally avoid all artificial sweeteners when I'm looking to enhance my health. Also, in this case it tastes kind of bad too; since the mix has some cream as well, the overall flavor is a bit like a watery strawberry Quik (ie, flavored children's milk product). Not my usual go-to drink.On the positive, the mix dissolves in a tall glass of room-temperature water with low-effort spoon-mixing, just as readily as my preferred variant. Very little residue is left behind after drinking, implying it dissolved completely.Rather than using cloying artificial sweeteners, I wish the manufacturer would just say "tastes best with a packet of your favorite sweetener". Especially since they recommend using a shaker or a blender, blending in your own sweetener into the mix wouldn't be hard.The whey protein/brand are recommended, this particular flavor/formulation not so much.
