Dymatize Elite 12 hour MRP

[RIPcookiethief]

Well, I got this as it looked convenient and I like the profile. Good mix of proteins and only 1 gram of sugar. Could use some more carbs I suppose.

Well I'll list out the good stuff first.

-Keeps me full(not hungry) for about 3 hours.
-no bloating
-taste isn't horrendous
-packets are convenient(more on this in a second)
-overall solid shake

What really made me sort of disappointed was the fact that you MUST have a blender or a shaker to mix it up. As it's in a packet and therefore portable and should be convenient, the need for a blender/shaker sort of baffles me. I mean this shake is THICK even with water(room temp) and attempting to mix it with a spoon or fork will yield a clumpy horror of a drink.

The consistency is very similar to their 12 hour protein or any other majority casein shake. The taste is also similar, I have the Fudge Brownie MRP and it tastes kinda like the chocolate 12 hour protein(slightly chalky). But the taste is alright overall.


If I could change one thing about this, it would be the mixability. If it was easier to mix and drink on the go this would be perfect! But alas, it's a pain to mix and that sort of limits the potential for use in my opinion.

Overall it scores a solid B+, as it does what it's supposed to even though it's a hassle to mix on the go.

........12 hour protein(slightly chalky).

I couldnt agree more. It was too chalky for me to even stand so I got rid of it. Most people dont notice this chalkyness though which suprised me cause it was bad for me.

I noticed the chalkyness but don't find it THAT intolerable - actually I kinda like it - fudge brownie is better though

Thats the one I had, fudge brownie. It was for me one of the worst proteins Ive ever tried and Ive tried about 50. Of course everyone has their own opinions but I just couldnt get past the chalky texture.

Haha, I just chug it. If I try to sip it I get pretty tired of it before I finish. But I've had MUCH worse tasting powders then this one.

I agree here - it's the first slow release protein I've tried and it is chalky, but I almost enjoy the Fudge Brownie, while the chocolate is alright - makes some decent sludge too

I got mine on the sale price, so it was only $18 a tub so I bought 40lbs.


And you also gotta look at ingredients, 12 hours first ingredient is whey concentrate where as UP2.0's is Micellar Casein. Tough to compare since up 2.0 is a much better formula but I understand where your coming from.

I agree, in my head I'm fully aware that UP is a better product - BUT my wallet disagrees and being a poor university student buying 2 types of protein is hard enough lol

The protein matrix is just what they call their blend of protein, and there blend of proteins first ingredient is whey. Its not a big deal, quality isnt as high but will you ever notice? No.

i had the 5lb jug from Vitamin Shoppe of Fudge Brownie.

I loved the taste but it did get messy if i didn't carefully pour the protein in my cup. if it all came out it would poof everywhere and make a nasty mess.

But for $35 i'd definately pick it up again
