Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)By now I've tried both the chocolate and fuzzy navel flavors (my first review commented on vanilla only).Both chocolate and fuzzy navel taste outstanding!Highly recommended along with vanilla!I now keep all three available to supplement my daily meals (vanilla, chocolate, and fuzzy navel).I've been using the vanilla and chocolate much longer than fuzzy navel, but so far the fuzzy navel flavor is nearly addictive to my tastes (my craving for it may eventually pass, but so far I like it as well if not better than chocolate or vanilla).The fuzzy navel flavor tastes close to vanilla with a very light touch of peach and orange added.In a way the flavor reminds me of the "lemon" ice cream or frozen custard I ate as a kid; it really didn't taste like lemon at all, but was more interesting and tastier than vanilla.The fuzzy navel flavor is so subtle you could probably use it in frozen fruit smoothies instead of vanilla (I haven't tried this yet) and not notice much of a difference (and this would allow you to reduce your inventory from three flavors to two flavors by dropping the vanilla).

I am on my 3rd 5 lb container of vanilla, 2nd chocolate and 1st fuzzy navel. I often pack a lean lunch (including a small amount of animal protein, fruit and vegetable) and premix four servings of ISO*100 to take with me when I go off to work for the day (following something similar to BFL, eating a meal every two hours or so) and all flavors keep well throughout the day when premixed (or even keep well overnight).I still prefer to mix on the fly when I am going to be around the house (see my previous vanilla review for how to chill your water with ice without blending any foam into your delicious meal replacement). When I start weight training again I will add two additional daily servings of ISO*100 (to bring daily protein intake up to one gram of protein per pound of body weight when including my two regular meals).

It does not matter whether the IOS*100 you buy has a white or black plastic container, or whether what you buy is labeled as a "gourmet" flavor or not.Don't pay more; if you hunt online price you should be able to find 5 lb quantities for somewhere around $60 or less.As far as I can tell, Dymatize has replaced their old blends with new blends labeled "Gourmet" and part of that upgrade involves changing the container color from white to black.The last time I ordered online, the picture of what I ordered showed a white container and did not include the word Gourmet on the flavor label; what I received in the mail was the black container with the Gourmet labeling.My first two containers of vanilla were the old recipe in the white containers; and compared to the newer gourmet black container this older style vanilla was slightly "grainy" when thoroughly mixed compared to the newer ISO*100 products from Dymatize (my chocolate and fuzzy navel were ever grainy but these have always been in black containers).

Regarding Dymatize's use of Sucralose; although you can find some limited negative press on this particular artificial sweetener, it is one of the most recently developed zero-carb sweeteners and considered by most authorities to be much healthier than earlier popular artificial sweeteners.If anything better comes along in terms of "health" and "taste" I'm sure Dymatize will be quick to pick it up.In the meantime, having a pure high protein low carb drink is a great convenience.I still have not found a better or comparable product.Thank You Dymatize and all the retailers selling this at affordable prices.
