Skillaz's Review Thread - TrueSupplements.com

[skillaz]

Firstly, it's IMPOSSIBLE to find decent reviews on any of their products, so first and foremost, I encourage EVERY member who has purchased any product from ts.co, or any of the companies listed in the subcategories (Anytime Fitness, Trueprotein.com etc.) to complete an extensive review. I know you would certainly find it valuable in the end.

I have all of the flavours of their protein blend, two flavours of their Isolate, Casein and Mass Gainer, so I owe it to TS.com to write some honest reviews, but give me time, I have A LOT to try.

Now,

Chocolate Peanut Butter: The long awaited..

Mixability: 10/10, never had better. No clumps, mixed almost instantly. I used a bullet, and a shaker, with similar results. Can't ask for more.

Taste: 8/10, the flavour is a little subtle for my tastes, but it isn't bad by any means. I'd prefer something sweeter for that dessert effect, but believe me, many will appreciate the taste of this one. I mixed one in milk, one in water, and I think I could EASILY go through 25 lbs of this stuff without getting sick of it. Seems like it would be great in oats as well.

Smell: 7/10 - smells like a subtle chocolate peanut butter. I don't know why I have this as a criteria, but I know smell typically gets me excited more so than anything else, but this flavour has been hyped to no end, which excited me enough, so really, who cares?

Value: 10/10 - Go to GNC and try to buy 10 lbs of protein with a similar profile and check the price. /reasoning

After-effects: 10/10 - Obviously much higher concentration of WPI's, even though it's a blend. No gas, no bloating, and no nasty aftertaste. It leaves a subtle taste in your mouth, but nothing bad by any means.

Final Thoughts: Great stuff, you CANNOT go wrong with it. I think it's produced in a flavour for everybody to like, and you'll know what I mean when you try it. GO ORDER NOW.

Final Score: 9/10

Will follow up with more reviews.

Good quality review, but you've made a false inference. My reviews are just as extensive/open/honest as yours are... check the sticky. There's another guy or two in that thread who have done fantastic ones as well.

Very stupid generalization, I'm not pretending to be the only one obviously, but the more the merrier, right? My apologies, I didn't mean to undermine your work.

Strawberry

Mixability: 10/10, no clumps, very nice. I guess this is just what I'm going to have to expect from this company :) This time I stuck to only using a shaker, didn't try the bullet, don't need to. Mixed in 15 seconds flat.

Taste: 9/10, best strawberry flavour I have EVER had. It tastes like strawberry nesquick syrup when I mixed it in water, except it was nice and creamy. A real treat, very enjoyable.

Smell: 8/10, smells like you would expect I suppose, very sweet and strawberry like.

Value: 10/10 - Can't beat it.

After-effects: 10/10 - I feel great after drinking this stuff. Again WPI > WPCs, so no bloating, the aftertaste is there but it is very pleasant, I enjoy it very much.

Final Thoughts: I like this stuff better than the chocolate peanut butter, this may be up there with the best protein I've ever had (including isoflex, myofusion etc.) Get it for the sensation of a real dessert, it wouldn't get old for me, but some people need variety. Again, I could drink this stuff night and day.

Final Score: 9.5/10

Chocolate

Mixability: 10/10, once again, well done TS.com!

Taste: 7/10. Really a "hate it or love it" flavour. Strikingly similar to Scivation's whey protein in terms of taste. Would be great in oats, but as a shake, I wasn't blown away. It tasted good, but not great, and I'm a chocolate guy.

Smell: 9/10. very nice smell, drool worthy to say the very least.

Value: 10/10. Best anywhere.

After-effects: 10/10. See above, this is some HIGH QUALITY stuff.

Final Thoughts: Nowhere near as good as the other flavours of TS whey for me. Again, it tastes a lot like Scivation's chocolate, which had a VERY positive reaction from a lot of folks (See here) (http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=4Ri&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&q=+site:forum.bodybuilding.com+scivation+whey+choc olate+review&ei=TEyES5SNM4L-M-OCpDQ&sa=X&oi=forum_cluster&resnum=2&ct=more-results&ved=0CBIQrQIwAQ) It won't hurt to try, you may like it! The quality is superb, the price is killer, and the service of the company is unreal, but if I had the choice of 5 flavours, I'd stay away from this one.

Final Score: 9/10 [Note: PB Choc > Choc IMO, but they received the same scores as a result of the averages, and chocolate smelt better to me, which gave it extra points]

Orange Creamsicle

Mixability: 10/10, flawless.

Taste: 8/10, subtle flavour, but when mixed with 4oz water + 2oz milk + ice, it tastes quite good. Kind of exactly like a melted orange creamsicle would taste if mixed with a bit of milk. That may sound disgusting to some, but I assure you, this flavour is good. Actually, TS.com makes excellent fruit flavoured whey proteins in general.

Smell: 9/10. very nice smell, again, like an orange popsicle. I really liked it.

Value: 10/10. You simply cannot beat it, I'd love for somebody to prove me wrong :D

After-effects: 10/10. The high quality you would expect, not much of an aftertaste, no bloat, no gas, just the feeling you get after a great protein shake.

Final Thoughts: I like this flavour a lot. I would really like it TS.com would make their flavours a little more prevalent, I hate hardly tasting what I should be tasting. This reminds me of a vanilla protein with a bit of orange flavouring, whereas it should be the other way around. Same with Choc PB. The only flavour I think done perfectly so far is the strawberry, I REALLY loved that stuff.

Final Score: 9.5/10. Not quite as good as the strawberry, but it's VERY good. Would recommend.
