(More customer reviews)I have been using Slimfast powders for years. I put them in my coffee (chocolate) and in the summer, in "health" shakes I make. They blend well plus I feel I am getting my nutrition. I like the taste of all of them!
A tip though: You can get these at Walmart for around $6 a can.

Designer Whey Protein Powder French Vanilla, All Natural Ingredients Review

Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was looking to gain more muscle from my workouts, and picked this based on having tried the DESIGNER WHEY Protein 2GO Pak, Pomegranate Fruit, 10 Count .53 Oz Packets (Pack of 2).This also usesWhey protein (a must), and comes in reasonably mid-sized containers.Tasting reasonable without too many fake ingredients was also a requirement.
(seriously though, why do most protein mixes come in gigantic jugs the size of my head, or overpriced mini portions?)
This protein powder seems to work for me.I'd had trouble adding lean mass despite working out regularly, since getting enough protein from my diet usually meant getting too many calories.So, I stepped up my strength building, having a serving of this mix right after every workout and I've noticed a difference in how much muscle I've added since.
It mixes/dissolves reasonably well in a tall glass with a spoon (more so with room temperature water than with chilled).The directions recommend using a blender, but I've never bothered.There's a residue left in the glass but nearly all of it dissolves typically.The recommended serving mixed with 12oz of water tastes bland like skim milk.Far from repulsive, but not particularly yummy.I'd call the taste acceptable.
The sweetener used is oligofructose which seems to be more natural/healthful than the Aspartame-like sweeteners used in other products.
Recommended for building lean mass in combination with strength training.After going through 3 canisters, I'm going to keep using it.Recommended.

(More customer reviews)I'm no connoisseur of protein powder, but I have tried several and this is one I like best.It has high protein while having low fat, calories and carbs.The other flavors don't do much for me, but the strawberry is pretty good (not delicious, but this is protein powder).It tastes fine with just water, but a little skim milk does wonders for it.

Designer Whey Biggest Loser Protein Review

(More customer reviews)As a weight loss coach I'm always on the lookout for products that can have a positive effect. I'll be honest. I snickered at the plug for this on the Biggest Loser and said it's obviously just regular whey powder rebranded with their name to sell. (I tend to snicker at many things promoted heavily on tv...this is normal for me.)
Okay, I'll own that I was wrong...I never even LOOKED at this product for months but someone in one of my weight loss groups mentioned it so I did.
First, it has less than half the calories for the same serving as most whey powders. Maybe all whey powders. I spend a LONG time in stores comparing stats and this beat out the lowest ones I used to use by FAR in it's nutritionals.
Second it uses Stevia as a sweetener. Stevia is all natural and is waaaaay sweeter than sugar so you only need a tiny bit of it in comparison to sugar. (This and Agave are the only low calorie sweeteners that health and all natural markets sell) I refuse to use artificial sweeteners now because I've read too much about them but I never leave the house without my stevia packets.
Third...it just works. I've used whey powder for years to help with my fitness and weight loss plan. It not only keeps you full, but it helps muscles after a workout.Plus fiber has been shown to assist weight loss which is why it's a huge part of the Weight Watchers plan...and so many other things I could make this review very long by adding. It's just uber good stuff.
I personally like to make a smoothie with this powder and add in some fruit. I love the taste of this smoothie. I also just found out they have blueberry flavor and I'm psyched...I've never seen that in a whey powder. The vanilla is great because it gives you a plain base to either utilize on it's own or with other flavorings or fruit. After a mega workout I'll even add a bit of prepared oatmeal and a few teaspoons of all natural peanut butter for a mega filling mega protein boost...but that adds more calories obviously.
Also, it's hard for some of the people I work with in losing weight to get their water servings in each day. I suggest adding a little but of the whey protein to the water for both flavor, vitamins, protein etc. It's a win/win all around. I do this as well. Cheaper and healthier than the flavored packets for water and this contains no artificial sweeteners and is packed with goodies for your body so it's a better alternative to flavoring your water or milk if those servings are hard for you to do.
This helps me in between meals in a HEALTHY way that assists my weight goals rather than sidetracking them...
