Shutup about the taste already
If you notice, every review is about taste...We get it—protein powder taste is big. But c'mon, choke it down.The REAL great thing about Trutein is the ingredient profile. TOO MANY people drink whey protein as meal replacements.That's a horrible idea. Whey just digests too fast to replicate an actual meal. You basically NEED slower digesting proteins IF you want to have this at random times during the day. Basically, whey is just good post workout when you NEED digestion fast.But Trutein has whey, egg and casein, basically mimicking a meal digestion. Great for a shake during the day with some almonds.Its very hard to find protein-mix powders that are decently priced and/or have a good profile. Too many add gross soy protein isolate as well.Trutein is leaps and bounds better than the competition. THAT'S why it gets 5 stars. Oh yeah, and it tastes pretty good too.

Hope restored!!!
So far I’ve tried a few different flavors. I’ve ordered:Banana creamPeanut butter chocolateStrawberry creamAnd the peanut butter marshmallow but it wasn’t sent, and I received the natural PB chocolateI’ve used a plethora of protein powders over the past 20 years. Mostly due to dietary restrictions, and overall health and fitness goals in mind. I love the blend concept, just still trying to find a good brand so I don’t have to mix it all myself and have a ton of stuff lying around.Banana cream (7/10) is good, I add Greek yogurt and a banana w ice and it makes it really good.Chocolate peanut butter (3/10) is ok, but kinda has a medicine taste to it. The natural version is even worse. I add powder PB to both but it doesn’t get rid of that aftertaste. I doubt I’ll buy either one again.Strawberry cream (8 or 9/10) is amazing!!! I’ve tried about every strawberry protein and believe me I was sick to death of strawberry, vanilla and chocolate when I tried these. But this one is pretty damn good! It tastes like something you’d expect from a big chain juice bar. My kids even like the taste.I will continue to try other flavors. Might buy the sample packs, and go from there. I also want to try some other brands to compare, but I’m pretty impressed. It’s a little more per tub and you get about a lb less than a normal whey, BUT you also don’t know what you get anymore and it seems most are amino dumping and filling product with junk fillers.Had some hiccups on my last order, but it seems to have been resolved. The seller really came through even though it seemed to have been mistakes on someone else’s part. I really admire companies that take accountability even when it’s not their fault, so that deserves an honorable mention.

Hands down the best tasting protein on the planet!!
I will gladly tell the world about this protein until the day I die. My 3 favorite flavors are the vanilla, mocha, and cinnamon bun. I make an incredible snack w/ the vanilla using thawed frozen blueberries (or mixed berries), 1/2 a scoop of vanilla trutein, and plan greek yogurt (i change up the % of fat in the yogurt based on my current macros). It's like dessert!!! I make protein shakes using mocha or cinnamon bun and use unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Those also taste like dessert! I really can't recommend this protein enough.

Avoid s’mores flavor.
The people who purchased s’mores flavor and actually saying it tastes good are either lying or they don’t actually know what good protein powder shakes should taste like. You know how you shake your protein vigorously to ensure that all clumps are mixed? This is so chalky and difficult to mix that I have to use dawn soap and hot water to literally remove the build up that occurs in the lid where you drink out of lol. That is a immediate indicator that this does not mix well. The flavor is non-existent. I liked the fakey marshmallows at first but honestly they should focus on making a protein powder that actually tastes good. I’ve tried all sorts of top brand protein powders and this is probably the worst I’ve had since the muscletech protein powder days. I’d rather give my money to syntha or gold standard… and even they’re subpar in terms of flavor and macro profile.

Some flavors have high fructose corn syrup
A friend of mine introduced me to this protein powder 5 years ago and I've been using it since up until now. The reason why she liked it was because it came with probiotics. I personally like the brand because there was no high fructose corn syrup. I've only really did one flavor for the first four years which was mocha. I decided to try something new and go with cookies and cream. Surprisingly after my third order of the 4lb tub I noticed that the cookies and cream flavor does have high fructose corn syrup in it! When I compared it to the mocha flavor that I had been doing for years for some reason mocha flavor didn't have high fructose corn syrup. I was so annoyed by this inconsistency in the ingredients of the same brand! Sugar is half glucose, half fructose, and fructose can only be metabolized by the liver in significant amounts. When you eat a lot of added sugar, the liver gets overloaded with fructose and is forced to turn it into fat. Which if you're using protein powder as a replacement for a meal so you can lose weight, this ingredient totally defeats the purpose! Very disappointed and I'm now looking for a new brand of protein powder.

Delicious (flavors tried included in review)
I have been using Trutein for years to help curb my appetite as it's very high in protein. I have yet to come across a flavor I didn't like. I've had cookies and cream, vanilla bean, cinnabun, strawberries and cream, lemon meringue, and bananas and cream. They all taste really great and none of that chalky taste to them. I personally use a blender and blend the powder and water. It comes out frothy so you do have to wait a few minutes unless you don't mind the froth. I've also used this in smoothies and overnight oats for an extra protein kick. Will forever be a customer of Trutein
