Gold Standard 100% Casein Protien - Chocolate Supreme - Review

Second on my list is Gold Standard 100% Casein Protien - Chocolate Supreme. Again a premium brand but I feel worth it.

This is probably the best tasting and mixing powder I have ever had. Works well with water but like a dream with milk.

I typically use this upon waking and about 30 minutes before bed. If I feel peckish this is a great alternative and fills you up nicely. 

Result wise this is your typical low carb protein powder. Don't expect miracles it simply does what it states on the tin (no it does not come in a tin)!

Taste: 5/5
Mixability: 5/5
Price: 4/5
Results: 4/5
Overall: 5/5

USN Whey Protein - Premium - Strawberry Cream Review

Okay so I go through allot of supplements and have tried allot of things that don't work. I often advise people on nutrition and have a broad knowledge of training and diet. I decided to start reviewing what I use.

USN Whey Protien - Premium - Strawberry Cream

USN Whey Protein Premium Strawberry Review
First on the list is USN Whey Protien (Strawberry Cream). I know USN is expensive but in my opinion it is worth every penny due to taste, mix-ability and results.

This particular powder has a great taste, mixes well and is also relatively low carbohydrate (8.2g per 100g). You do not need a blender as this mixes well in a shaker bottle. This also has a large Amino Acid profile. I feel this mixes best with milk as it thickens nicely.

I typically use this 50 minutes before the gym and then straight after. I sometimes mix this in my blender with fruit and yoghurt. It makes a nutritious meal and does not overpower or sweeten the mix too much. I would recommend this to anyone but am aware that cheaper products exist that are just as good. Overall a 4/5 due to the price.
