(More customer reviews)I'm generally pleased with the product although I haven't been able to use it as much as I had hoped.
The taste is very good and while it is filling in the moment, I don't feel like it curbs my appetite for very long.
I would re-order at least one more time to give it a real chance.

(More customer reviews)tasty but not the best drink. the chocolate flavor is strong but more like carob than chocolate.the powder is hard to get to dissolve by stirring, however putting it through the vita-mix gets it pretty smooth! I am happy to support a company out of sebastopol, ca and to get added nutrients in my shakes but this recipe could be tuned up to make it work out properly.

(More customer reviews)I was instantly impressed by the flavor and texture of this protein when I enjoyed my first serving.The powder mixes very well with water or milk - even soy milk! It is remarkably versatile, and lends itself to cooking as well its intended use in shakes.I am very impressed by the the amino acids present in the product, and will likely never consider buying another protein powder.My thanks to the folks at The Protein People for putting out a great product!

1 gramSplenda (1 packet) Protein is one of the three "macronutrients" in the human diet. (The other two are fats and carbohydrates.) One major point of difference that sets proteins apart from the other macronutrients is that our bodies cannot completely synthesize proteins. In other words, we need to get proteins from our diet. Proteins are responsible for a long list and wide variety of essential functions in our bodies including the growth and maintenance of muscle, bones, cartilage, hair, skin, and nails. Proteins are also needed to make certain enzymes, hormones and blood. Proteins also help enhance immune function.
One exciting benefit of dietary protein is that it increases feelings of fullness (satiety) when compared to equal amounts of carbohydrates and fats. The result is that we can eat fewer calories from protein and feel just as satisfied as we would from eating greater amounts of carbohydrates. Protein is a natural appetite suppressant!
The Soy Health Claim
In October 1999, FDA approved a health claim that can be used on labels of soy-based foods to tout their heart-healthy benefits. The agency reviewed research from 27 studies that showed soy protein's value in lowering levels of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or "Bad" cholesterol).
Food markets can now use the following claim, or a reasonable variation, on their products:
"Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 25 grams of soy protein a day may reduce the risk of heart disease. One serving of APC Whey/Soy Protein provides 6.25 grams of soy protein (APC Whey/Soy Protein contains a total of 25 grams of protein per serving coming from the combination of Whey/Soy Protein)"
To qualify for the claim foods must contain per serving:
- 6.25 grams of soy protein
- Low fat (less than 3 grams)
- Law saturated fat (less than 1 gram)
- Low cholesterol (less than 20 milligrams)
- Sodium value of less than 480 milligrams for individual foods, less than 720 milligrams if considered a main dish, and less than 960 milligrams if considered a meal.
Whey protein is a natural mixture of smaller proteins that are derived from dairy milk. APC Whey Protein contains high amounts of essential amino acids that our bodies need every day!
Because of APC Whey Protein's excellent and immediate absorption, these amino acids get into the bloodstream rapidly. Whey protein is rapidly absorbed and for that reason is effective at stimulating muscle protein synthesis (muscle growth) during periods of recovery immediately following exercise.
Time Release Proteins
As mentioned, Whey Protein is absorbed very rapidly. Rapid absorption has its benefits as fast absorption is ideal in the morning, immediately following exercise, etc. However, there are times when a slower, more sustained absorption of protein is beneficial. If and when there is gang to be a long gap between meals or between snacks, time release proteins can be utilized to fuel your body during this time. APC Time Release Protein is a perfect example of a protein product that can help you accomplish this goal. APC Time Release Protein utilizes a unique and precise combination of five different proteins, all with different absorption profiles. This precise combination provides a full spectrum of fast absorbing, medium absorbing and slow absorbing proteins to combine a sustained release for several hours.

(More customer reviews)I'm a vegetarian (plus milk, but not eggs), and getting enough protein is a concern.I've tried quite a few different protein powders and this is by far the best I have come across.It tastes good, and it also has the full spectrum of essential amino acids.
I've been using this product almost every day for nearly a year, and I still find it tasty.I often mix a dose with the milk I pour over my cereal in the morning, and for lunch I will often have a smoothie made from a banana, frozen berries, pineapple, ground flax seed, MLO, and milk.Yum!

(More customer reviews)I have to admit that the other three whey versions of protein shakes from ON I've tried taste better.Not to say this tastes horrible or anything.I switched over to the soy version myself because the whey version bothered me a bit, which this kind doesn't seem to do.Tastes meh when mixed in water, and loads better when I mix it with straight up soy milk.I'd be interested to see if the vanilla version tastes much better than the chocolate.

Nature's Plus - Spiru-Tein - Nutty Berry Burst, 1.12 lb powder Review

(More customer reviews)I love this drink. It's a bit of an acquired taste--I found it a little bit chalky, but I love it now. It's full of essential nutrients, so it's completely worth the cost. The chocolate flavor is by far the best in my humble opinion. I usually combine a cup (it comes with its own measuring cup) with a cup of skim milk and blend it. Mixing it together without a blender causes it to clump something awful, so a blender is definitely essential. I recommend pouring how much milk you intend to drink in the your designated drinking vessel first before you blend; the shake has a tendency to froth and this way you don't end up with excess sitting in the blender. Generally I've found that on the days that I have time to drink this shake (washing the blender in the morning can prove to be a bit much) I have more energy and just feel...healthier. You really can't go wrong with this drink. I found that drinking this as a meal replacement aid was very helpful in weight loss.

Genisoy Soy Protein Shake, Chocolate Protein Shake, 22.2-Ounce Canisters (Pack of 2) Review

Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this on something of a whim - I like some of Genisoy's other products - and was worried that it would be terrible.But it really isn't bad!
The instructions read: For best results, add 1 scoop of powder to 8 oz. of protein fortified nonfat milk and mix in an electric blender, or in a shaker.Can also be mixed with water or other beverage of choice.
I didn't want the extra added calories of the milk - plus I'm lactose intolerant, so I went ahead and mixed it with water, worried it would be bland. It was pretty tasty.The reason they say to put in a blender or shake is because it's difficult to mix - it gets very thick.
Kosher status isn't clear here on amazon, but it's got a circle-K hechshar, if this is relevant for you.
And this particular product has many more vitamins and mineratals than the Genisoy Ultra XT product.
I'm going to go out and get the vanilla, too.Definitely recommended!
