Good Flavor, Low Glycemic Index
By Holly D. Bookwalter
Protein drinks are really personal. No two people seem to agree on the same thing. That being said, I'm not going to say that everyone will love this powder. I will say, however, that I'm quite impressed with it. I was specifically looking for a protein drink with a low glycemic index. I'm not a triathelete or even someone who works out at the gym everyday for two hours at a time, so I don't want all the added sugars. Plus, I'm targeting a particular health problem related to higher blood glucose (not diabetes, though I think it's a similar diet solution.)Aria is Desginer Whey's offering with a low GI value. Because Designer Whey is such a popular brand, I figured I couldn't go wrong. I'm glad I gave it a shot, because I really like it. The flavor is good. (Can anyone really say that a protein drink is fabulous? If you can, we must have very different ideas of what a yummy chocolate drink would taste like...) I mix it with water, not milk or any other flavor- and calorie-adding liquids. I also like to throw in a banana and some ice for texture and some added fruit in my day. I find this to be a great start to my day to jumpstart my metabolism and to give me some needed nutrients. The powder blends in well. (I use a blender, but it's fairly fine, so one of those shaker things would probably work.) You end up with some heavier ingredients down at the bottom, but it's never clumpy or grainy. (Just swirl the last bit of liquid around to get all the goodies.)I definitely recommend Aria, even if you're not really watching your GI (though most of us should). I actually like it better than Designer Whey's other chocolate protein powder.

Great for Smoothies
By M. Klein
I use this to make a smoothie every morning. The powder is fine, and dissolves into the smoothie easily. Other brands I have tried leave chunks of powder behind. Highly recommend.

good enough for all women
By Jose
bought this for my wife after her concerns with protein while being pregnant. Mix with other things or by itself, still good.
