Muscle Protein Whey Powder [5 lbs/Pack of 1]–Strawberry Protein Powder, Cold Filtered, 25g Pure Protein, 6.6g BCAAs (Packaging May Vary)

Great price, Decent taste. What’s not to like.
So I ordered the peanut butter/chocolate flavor. Tastes decent enough, not chalky. Mixed in water, made a shake no thicker than milk. I say this because some protein powders are 2 scoops to get the serving of protein listed, and they are thicker. Does not make you feel full at all, so I would not recommend as a meal replacement shake….Was no funky after taste some have talked about…and as far as being tuff to open, it’s no different than opening a 5 gallon bucket. If I don’t see the results I want after workouts I willcome back and edit this review, but so far it’s off to a good start.

Smells like rotten cheese
I was really hoping that this protein would be an affordable way to supplement my protein. Unfortunately, you get what you pay for. Upon opening it for the first time, I was already fairly disappointed. It smelled as if someone melted Kraft cheese and a chocolate bar together, dehydrated it, and made it into a powder. I was further disappointed when I saw home awful it mixes, and whenever you do get it to mix, it tastes terrible. It’s a cheaply made, awful smelling/tasting, poor mixing, nausea inducing protein powder, and it shouldn’t be sold. At the very least, this current formula shouldn’t be sold. Unfortunately, I squandered time trying to get myself to like it/get used to it, and now I’ve missed my return window. So, now, I’m stuck with a protein I cannot stand, get nauseous whenever I think about drinking it, and takes up space(this last gripe will be solved once I throw it in the trash). My advice, don’t buy this protein. Save up your money, and use your hard earned cash to get a product that’s a little bit more expensive, but will be far more satisfactory. You’ll save yourself time, and stomach cancer.

A big tub-ful of value
This review is for the 12lb bucket of Vicious Vanilla and Wonca Chocolate flavors of Colossal Labs Whey Protein.If you’re looking to stock up on affordable, yet (relatively) high-quality whey protein, Colossal Labs is a good choice. First, the macros: each scoop offers 25 grams of “cold filtered” whey protein isolate with 1 gram of fat, 3 grams of carbs, 50mg of cholesterol, and 6.6 grams of BCAAs for 121 calories. This is a respectable profile for a budget-priced protein powder, even if the cholesterol is a little higher than I’d like.Vicious Vanilla has a mild chalky vanilla taste that is great for blending with other ingredients in a smoothie, but not so good on its own. My first batch of Wonca Chocolate was amazing — one of the best-tasting chocolate protein powders I’ve sampled. The second batch was chalkier with a milder chocolate taste, which indicates inconsistent quality control. (Both buckets of vanilla had the same bland vanilla flavor, though.)One thing I like about this protein powder is its heavy sand-like texture that makes it a better choice for blending than lighter powders that foam up easily. It’s highly soluble with minimal clumping, even in a standard shaker bottle with water.The other big plus is that the 12lb size comes in a big plastic bucket with a sturdy handle. A word of warning, though — the lid can be a pain to unseal, so make sure you have some heavy-duty scissors or a boxcutter on hand to help slice away the plastic ring that locks the lid in place. But otherwise, the tub is reusable and convenient.

Great flavor
Gave it lower star rating due to the fact that it shoots my blood sugars through the roof. Regardless of it being lower carb. Something in there doesn’t like me.

Whey on a budget. Perfect for protein supplementation.
