I haven’t used creatine before so I have nothing to compare it to, but this stuff seems to work.

Unfortunately the product does have a slightly sweet, milky flavor. The flavor is fine in a smoothie or other sweet application but just tastes all wrong in beef soup or tomato sauce or other savory, non-milk recipes.

On the plus side, the texture is good compared to many powders and as long as you don’t mind the subtle sweetness, the flavor is good. My husband has taking to adding this to his morning smoothies and loves it.

I emailed them and they responded the same day to say that the stuff is virtually (“90%-98%”) lactose free, which is a big relief since I have allot of lactose intollerance in the family.

The stuff is made in the USA. 17 grams of protein per serving, there’s 60 servings in a jar. That’s 1020 grams of the absolute best protein on earth. Amazon’s price: $21 per jar. That’s what? two cents per gram of protein/ 35 cents per serving?!? Somebody check my math, I’m not sure if that could possibly be right. Compare that to other protein blends- I need to do more checking but I’d bet that’s a comparable $/gram of protein to even the cheapest of the multitudes of new and improved snake oil enriched super fantabulated suplemental mega bloat mixes. Then compare that to your average starbucks bill. Shoot, compare that to what you have to put into vending machines to get what rolls out.

If you aren’t sold/bored yet then consider this: Whey proein as compared to all other protein types (egg, standard milk, soy, etc) is the best across the board and should (and usually does) have a cost to match. It is the easiest on your stomach, fastest into your system, and best for muscle tissue gains/ weight maintenance (it’s what doctors have used to get HIV and wasted chemo/radiation patients to hold the line and even re-grow). It has immune system enhanceing properties that make it almost medicinal. It has anti cancer properties beyond its immune enchanceing ones, but especially for those who are about to undergo radiation/chemothereapy (I can’t explain the mechanisms but it selectively puts the cancer cells frontmost when the treatments are taking place so that they are the first to die and easiest to kill) Carefully and expensively processed Whey proteins (whey protein isolates) should cost even more than the standard concentrates. But Any whey doesn’t cost hardly nothin’, what gives?

Now… search for a protein supplement, of any kind, that doesn’t come with that wonderful and ever palatable “NEW CHOCOLATE BANANA PEPPER FLAVOR!” Or have any fat. Or any carbohydrates (well actually it does have 1 gram per serving). No sugars, no sugar alcohols, no indigestible sugar substitutes, no taste (no, wait, that’s a good thing!), and one that can be measured into any recipe of any kind for an endless variety of ways to be used. 60 servings-17 grams per serving-21 dollars.

The stuff’s good enough to inspire me to peck away for an hour now to sing it’s unsung praises. Now I think I’ll go have a high protein bowl o’ whey-augmented dreario’s so my poor finger muscles have something to regrow with.

I got this flavor because I wanted to try something different, and it won in a coin toss against chocolate. It is drinkable, but I would not recommend this flavor. It tastes a little better in milk, but I usually take my shakes with water. I would give it a 6/10.

The price is right and the quality is there. I will be sticking with ON, but want to try Double Chocolate or Vanilla Chai next.

tl;dr

Cookies and Cream flavor okay. 6/10. Would not recommend this flavor.
