What is it? A big jug of protein powder! In fact, you get over 5 lbs!
Okay, you know its protein, and the label says "Whey"- but what exactly is whey? Well, whey, or milk plasma, is the liquid remaining after milk has been curdled and strained. Most of us know that milk has protein in it, so the stuff in the big black jug here is essentially a milk protein.
So what's the big deal about whey protein? Well, supposedly whey has the ability to be digested quickly, which allows the protein to become available very quickly. Most people use it after workouts to help increase the levels of amino acids in the blood, which are taken up by the muscles to help repair and rebuild them.
As you can tell, people who are physically active are probably going to need this stuff the most. Physical activity normally breaks down the tissues of the body as you use it, and since protein is the building blocks of your tissues, well, lots of physical activity equals higher protein needs. How much more protein athletes need above and beyond sedentary people is a matter of controversy- as is the protein requirements of bodybuilders. However please keep in mind that high protein intake can be hard on your kidneys, because they're the organ that has to deal with this stuff the most, so if you have any kind of kidney issues (i.e. your creatinine is sky high), it'd be best to check with a doc before ingesting huge quantities of protein.
On to the specifics of this particular protein powder. To use it, you simply mix it with water, or any liquid for that matter- then throw it down the hatch. Does it taste good? Well, some people like it and some people don't- me telling you that I like it won't mean much in this case.
Anyway, when all is said and done, this is a decent source of protein for people who don't have time to eat huge chunks of meat, large quantities of eggs, or drink gallons of milk. At 24 grams of protein a serving, this product packs a whallop that can go a long way to help make healthy tissue stronger, or injured tissue healthy. Also recommend Treat Your Own Tennis Elbow if tendinitis interferes with your workouts or activities.

I think the taste is very good.These bars a bigger than most and quite dense.They're basically like large, rectangular, dense cookies.For me, they are great for traveling because it truly is a meal replacement (and since there's no bogus "chocolate" covering, there's no melting).There are a few different flavors.So far, S'mores is my favorite flavor.They have this note on the wrapper that says "For Oven-Fresh taste: remove wrapper and microwave for 10 seconds" which I thought sounded pretty hokey but I tried and it's actually pretty tasty.It really does taste like a warm cookie. I recommend trying it.
