Hey all,
Figured I'd post up my thoughts on the Bulk Nutrients Choc WPC sample i received.
Im really not a supplement connoisseur so i apologise in advance if its not as descriptive or informative as some of the other reviews.
Postage/customer service: First sample disappeared in the post. Second was shipped and received within a week, cant complain about the customer service i received from BN and my emails were answered pretty promptly.
Smell:
It smelled chocolatey but also had a strange odour to it, not sure whether it was packaging related or perhaps the sweetener, dont know but it was there.
Ease of mixing:
I mixed it with 300ml of low fat milk in the cheapest and nastiest shaker i could buy, product mixed completely after around 20 seconds of "medium" shakingness and I let it sit for a minute to check for sediment.
Taste:
Ill preface this by saying I dont generally eat a lot of sweet foods so it may differ for others but the sweetener used for this flavour was a little too strong and tasted strange to me, which i didnt find terribly pleasant, nor did my wife who tasted it also.
The chocolate flavour could be stronger to offset the sweetness or I couldve possibly used more milk to reduce the effects of the sweetener but its definitely something id experiment with if i had a decent quantity of the choc.
The chocolate flavour was ok.
Since i usually blend with other stuff anyway (oats/bananas etc) im sure i can live with the sweetener by finding the right additions to my blend.
I also dont drink much flavoured milk (iced coffees/Big M/FUIC etc) because i find them generally too sweet also, I mention that as a comparative thing just to give some idea of my thoughts on sweetened milk.
Overall opinion:
I thought it was pretty good and despite my whinging about the sweetness I found it to be a quality product that i will most likely purchase.
