Both mocha and lemon tastes pretty bad IMO. What happened?
I mixed it in varying concentrations with "best" results being in 6oz water per scoop with either flavor.

I'm not knocking XF, but it seems I can only buy UP1 and UP2.

I won't lie, but I agree. I'll still buy the lemonade to give it a go. But chocolate and chocolate mint were a little meh to me... oh well, can't please everyone. Every other product I've used I've really really liked from UP 1.0,2.0, ICE, Relentless, Cyto.. the whey was just okay for me though.

Definitely a rare negative. Have you tried Myofusion at all? What is the best tasting protein in your opinion?

i like the chocolate mint a lot - i think its probably the best whey out there for the price! of course, being with gaspari, i am completely and indefinitely spoiled :)

The XF Whey flavors had to really grow on me because I am so used to the taste and consistency of UP 1.0 and UP 2.0. Thanks for your honesty though.

Choc Mint is great, and cannot be beat at its price.
I have not tried lemon or mocha, a lot of people love mocha though.

i think the lemonade is pretty good minus the foam

i think gaspari has the best plain chocolate out there, but xf is good with the mint and pb flavorings they add to their chocolate.

I liked the INtra Pro choc much more than the Myofusion.

It's hard to compare anything to UP2 and have a favorable outcome. The Lemonade took a bit of getting used to, but I really like it, especially for a change of pace. If you want to try something new with it, here is some of the stuff I did: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=118178241

I also didn't like the Mocha, but I despise coffee so there you go - the flavor was spot on.

Little sweeter, but just as good "if not" better tasting.

I feel like there are very few post-wo products that can top Relentless' profile :cool:

Love the choc mint.

Lemon is a bit tart. Mixed the lemon with the raspberry lemon cytofuse during my carb up yesterday. That was a lot of lemon.

Yea, they nailed Myo, that stuff is creamy and delicious!

About the only shake I can convince people (non BBers) to try because even the aroma is heavenly.

edit: the aroma on choc mint XF whey is damn good too

for my money my fav shake would have to be mixing the sustain pb into one of many chocolates.

on a semi related note, the little flavoring the put in ATW makes it VERY palatable, sometimes the "better tasting" proteins just seem to sweet for me. I guess the key for me is switching it up, even with myo i switched to xf after ten lbs and was glad to get a little something different. I even switch back and forth between chunk light and albacore tuna just so i dont get too burned out on one particular flavor.

the choc is fine, very lightly flavored

the choc pb doesnt taste like choc or pb, just has a very bland taste.

Never had myofusion. IMO, UP2 choc pb is the best-tasting protein I've ever ingested outside of whole food.

This is likely it; I've only been drinking UP1 and 2 for the past 3 years, more or less.


UP1.0 Never LOVED the taste but profile/price are awesome(DAVE BIG HUGENESS PLEASE.PAUSE)

I agree. It wasn't until I saw your post with mixing UP1, CC, and pb together for zomg awesomeness that I really appreciated UP1 even more.

Of any protein Ive ever had, regardless of flavor, UP2 choc pb may be my favorite as well. The only thing that topped it was mixing performance pudding with sustain flavoring and drinking it rather than using it as pudding.

i hear the thermolife choc pb is even better, but the price is out of my range.

I'd much rather support XF than TL.

When did you get it? The original Intra-Pro had decent flavoring (I had it probably a year and a half ago) but the new chocolate is delicious. I think it tastes better than Myo chocolate, too.

I think it was the older stuff, I still have like half a tub...so maybe it is 8-12 months old? by now.... I am nto certain.

Most of the time, the taste is affected by how well you mix the product and if you don't mix it all the way, then the flavoring is going to sink to the bottom of the glass. In addition, most people mix it with lukewarm water which also f@#@ ups the taste

Take the XF mocha and blend it with crushed ice and you'll see a big difference. Better yet, add a tablespoon of instant coffee and you'll slap you momma a few times.
