Sun Warrior Chocolate Protein, 2.2-Pound Bottle Review

First of all, Amazon has this priced $6 cheaper than the actual Sun Warrior website, which is fabulous.

I am a triathlete and have always struggled with protein powders and supplements because they were so full of sugars and artificial ingredients and so forth.

This raw rice protein supplement is awesome! My boyfriend is still stuck on his Syntha-6 powders from bodybuilding.com (which does not carry Sun Warrior, but should start!), but here is how Sun Warrior Chocolate compares to Syntha-6 Mochaccino:

Calories per serving (44g):Sun Warrior - 160, Syntha-6 - 200
Total fat: Sun Warrior - 2g, Syntha-6 - 6g
Saturated fat: Sun Warrior - 0g, Syntha-6 - 2g
Trans fat: Both brands have 0g
Cholesterol: Sun Warrior - 0mg, Syntha-6 - 55mg
Total carbs: Sun Warrior - 10g, Syntha-6 - 15g
Fiber: Sun Warrior - 4g, Syntha-6 - 5g
Sugars: both brands have 2g
Vitamin A/C: both brands have none
Calcium: Sun Warrior - 12% of DV, Syntha-6 - 10% of DV
Iron: Sunwarrior - 40% of DV, Syntha-6 - 1% of DV

Protein: Sun Warrior - 30g - Syntha-6 - 22g

I'm sorry, but no matter how you slice it Sun Warrior comes out on top in terms of pure nutritional value AND protein content per serving. Serious athletes should consider Sun Warrior a formidable brand in the market!

P.S. Sun Warrior does not taste as good just mixed with water, but I find that blending 2 scoops of the chocolate with water/soy milk + frozen banana + spinach + flax seed oil tastes like a healthy milk shake and the spinach is totally undetectable.

100% Whey Protein - Gold Standard (Natural) Review

I'm a woman and not a body builder, but I love this protein powder for a super quick breakfast or an evening snack.It gives you clean burning energy, so to speak, without the blood sugar crash of candy bars or other less than optimal snack products.It dissolves well with some vigorous shaking in any sealed container--I just use an ordinary bowl-shaped tupperware container.

It contains no fructose, and is barely sweetened with stevia extract.That's fine because I can add my own sources of sweetness in the form of organic soy milk that I buy in bulk from Costco.I had my family try it and they couldn't tell this apart from ordinary ovaltine or chocolate soy milk.Even if you're using water or milk, unless you're hyper vigilant about sugar intake, adding a bit of your own sweetener (I hate artificial sweeteners, I'd rather add raw, real sugar) would still bring your sugar intake far below most of those other "protein shake" products out in the market while still delivering a dose of high quality protein (whey is superior to all other sources of popularly available protein powders according to the sources I've researched).

He's working out six days a week, including lifting weights, and is seeing a huge difference in his endurance and strength with the protein added to his diet.

Good price on both items; great, fast shipping by Amazon/vendor.

Genisoy - Soy Protein Shake - Natural, 16 oz powder Review

The "GeniSoy" Protein Shakes have always impressed me with their creamy texture and "complete nutrition" health benefits. It is easy to put a scoop of powder with milk, soy milk, rice milk (Rice Dream) or juice and blend it into a nutritious shake. Lately I blend a scoop into fresh fruit and orange juice.

Frankly, if I had to choose between a milk shake and a Soy Protein shake, I'd choose GeniSoy. Not only because I have seen the great results of taking soy powder, but also because I just feel healthier and this product is not overly sweet. It is just perfect.

You can mix up this shake after a workout or drink it as a breakfast shake. Basically, you can drink this at any time of the day and feel good about this Fat-Free and Cholesterol-free product.

100% Gold Standard Casein Protein Review

Almost any company can produce decent, good-tasting, cheap whey, but doing the same for casein is a trickier proposition.ON has done a solid job with this casein.Mixing it with low-fat or nonfat milk makes for a nice, creamy shake.

A couple of tips:don't bother trying to mix this with a fork or a shaker bottle.You'll get clumps and you'll hate it.Casein demands a blender.

Tip II:Casein has always been the "overnight" protein because of its slower digestion rate than whey, but recent scientific evidence suggests that combining casein with whey in your post-workout shake gives better results than whey alone.Heck, mix the two in all your shakes, except the pre-workout shake, where you'll want just the quick-hitting whey.

Product Description:
Sometimes slower is better - especially when it comes to the rate of protein digestion. While rapid protein absorption is desirable immediately before or after exercise, delayed release is probably more beneficial throughout the remainder of the day.  Casein proteins are pH sensitive and gel in the acidic environment of the stomach. As a result, it can take more than twice as long for caseins to be broken-down into their amino acid subcomponents than whey and other proteins. Because of their unique time-released qualities, caseins are aptly described as anti-catabolic or muscle-protecting proteins.

Syntrax Nectar Naturals Review

I tried to base these on whether or not I would recommend to a friend more so than personal opinion.

Personally, I decided to get the Naturals because I work out 2-3 times a day and always drink a whey shake after... ingesting that much artificial sweetener every day will probably add up to cancer one day. The Natural Nectars use stevia, which has actually been shown to have positive effects such as regulating blood sugar.

Flavors:

Apple Ecstasy - 4/5 - I normally like apple-flavored anything, but this did not impress me. It's a little too sour. However, there was no aftertaste or anything, so I'm sure someone out there might like it.

Caribbean Cooler - 5/5 - I must say I was impressed with how the coconut aspect of this coconut/pineapple flavor concoction really captures the taste and texture of real coconut milk. Would I want to drink 2 lbs. of this stuff? Eh, IDK. But if you like coconut...

Crystal Sky - 2/5 - Tastes like ground up Sweet-Tarts mixed with water. It's a very, very synthetic berry taste of some sort. It has so much blue coloring that my poo was bright green!

Fuzzy Navel - 5/5 - This is the flavor that made Nectar famous. It's a nice blend of peach and orange and tastes like a glass of juice; I could not detect any protein, and the aftertaste was mostly just peach flavor.

Lemon Tea - 3/5 - I really wanted to dislike this one, and although I'm still not a fan of iced tea protein (lol), I can see why some people would like it. I can clearly detect an underlying protein taste, but ignore that and it's just like Arizona iced tea.

Roadside Lemonade - 1/5 - This one is nasty, I could barely get it down! The obvious protein taste gives it a gelatin-like quality. So, yeah, (synthetic) lemon-flavored liquid Jell-O is how I'd describe it.

Strawberry Kiwi - 3/5 As soon as I smelled it, I knew this was going to be another Jell-O flavor. Honestly it's not that bad (no kind of protein taste or aftertaste), but most of us have had strawberry kiwi Jell-O, and so drinking it in liquid form is rather unappealing.

Twisted Cherry - 2/5 - Extremely synthetic cherry Kool-Aid flavor (just like children's medicine) with way too much red color.

Strawberry Mousse - 5/5 - Tastes like the pink Yoohoo or strawberry milk. Slight bitter aftertaste, but not a big deal.

Vanilla Bean Torte - 5/5 - I normally don't like vanilla, but this is just like frosting (yummmm)! There is a slight "metallic" aftertaste (Acesulfame K can do that), but not as bad as the weird Chocolate Truffle aftertaste.

Chocolate Truffle - 4/5 - It's like watered down chocolate mousse. I'm not a big chocolate fan, but someone who likes that kind of thing would probably enjoy this flavor. I took a point off because it had a strange aftertaste.

Cappuccino - 5/5 - Personally, it's way too sweet for me (but I really don't have much of a sweet tooth). I like my coffee black, but someone who is into those Starbucks shakes would probably like this. It actually reminds me a lot of a mocha flavored chocolate bar Lindt sells called "Milk Mocha."

Natural Peach - 5/5 - The best of the "naturals." It's kind of orangey-peachy, but in a more toned down way than Fuzzy Navel.

Natural Orange - 3/5 - My least favorite of the "naturals," but it's okay.

Natural Fruit Punch - 5/5 - Didn't like this one at 1st, but it grew on me. It's not like a Hawaiian Punch kind of taste, but more like fruit-flavored Tums.
