I've tried it, along with many others. I prefer Optimum Nutrition (ON) in the Strawberry flavor. 24g protein, only 2g of carbs per scoop. I usually mix two scoops with 12-16 oz of 1% milk, for a total of about 60g of protein per shake. Plus its cheap. $18.99 at Vitamin Shop.

Wow that is amazing. Packs on tons of protein at the price of 19$? Crazy. Wish I had that a few years back.

True, I missed the serving size and assumed it was 2 scoops.

I have Strawberry, Chocolate and Vanilla (I prefer Strawberry over the other 2 but they are all great). I haven't tried Banana Creme but I can't stand using milk in any of the 3 I have, it is just way too rich and makes it very hard to drink. I use ice cold water and 2 scoops, then drink a glass of milk afterwards.

banana cream is the shit. I've had a couple different flavors but so far it has always been the best.

muscle milk is good when it comes taste... but it does have alot of fat per serving compared to the amouth of protein (32-34 grams) per serving... myoplex shakes dont have as much fat or sugar and have 10 grams more protein per serving (42 g)... it also has alot more vitamins and amino acids...

It depends all on what you need. The fat happens to be Medium Chain Triglycerides which are much more likely to be used as energy then to be stored as fat. In general this is good because it provides you energy without an insulin spike and it promotes your body to use fat as a primary energy source.
