My order of 2kg WPI (1kg x Choc-mint, 1kg x Choc-peanut), and 1kg Creatine just arrived so still early days though I will update this as I confirm/redact my info.
I've only had two servings of the Choc-mint so far.
Delivery: I ordered on a Sunday afternoon and the products arrived Wednesday.
Packaging: The zip-lock on these packets is pretty rubbish so I'll probably just dump the whole thing into an empty bottle. The creatine packet wasn't zip-lock sealed before heat-sealing the edge so when I tore it open as directed I spilled it -_-
Choc-mint
After three servings myself and two mates having a serving each I can confirm this powder (not saying it's the protein specifically) is making us sick and lightheaded within 10mins of consuming it. I've contacted NBS and am awaiting a response.
Taste: 6/10 - I'd probably call this flavour Choc-Vicks Vapor Drops over Choc-Mint, it's not a bad taste, but it's nothing like say a Mint Slice-type flavour. In fact I can't even really taste the Choc as I'm drinking it now.
Mixability: 10/10 - Took two scoops in 400ml of water (serving suggests one scoop in 200ml of milk) using a standard mixing ball shaker. At first it had white 'bits' all through it that even after a solid minute or so of shaking wouldn't dissolve. Five minutes or so after that they were all gone without any shaking so I can only guess it's a dissolve-over-time thing as opposed forcibly dissolving it with shaking (though it may have sped it up had I have persisted). Smooth now.
Choc-peanut
*Edit*
Taste: 4/10 - Jumped the gun, this tastes horrible, pretty much boiled peanut water. (OLD)This isn't what I was expecting but I like it anyway. It's not a sweet taste. I was expecting like, a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup or something but it's pretty much bang on chocolate covered roasted peanut. Nice, but definitely something you need to like first.(OLD)
Mixability: 10/10 - Pretty much the same as the choc-mint. Had white 'bits' at first even through shaking but they dissolved in time.
Creatine Monohydrate
Mixability: 10/10 - No sediment like some others, mixed instantly with a couple shakes.
