Props
I have to give huge props to the guys over at BSN for picking me to log the new flavor of N.O.-Xplode Green Apple. BSN states that N.O.-Xplode 2.0 is an “Extreme Pre-Training Energy & Performance Igniter!” that “Supports Muscular Endurance, Strength and Resistance to Muscular Fatigue!” Lets get started and put this product to the test!
A Little Background
I'm 37 and I've been lifting weights now for about 10 years. I currently weigh in at 186 lbs. I’m 6' tall and fairly lean. I’d like to add a little more onto my frame. Ideally, I’d like to add another 5-10lbs of lean mass.
Current Supplement Stack:
I will be using the following supplements during this course of this log:
BSN N.O.-Xplode Green Apple
BSN AMINOx Green Apple
BSN Lean Dessert Protein Banana Cream Pudding
BSN Lean Dessert Protein Chocolate Coconut Candy Bar
BSN Syntha-6 Strawberry Milkshake
Training Split
I currently doing a 6 day training split, 5 lifting, 1 cardio.
Monday - Chest
Tuesday – Back
Wednesday - Shoulders
Thrusday – Legs
Friday – Biceps and Triceps
Saturday – Cardio HIIT
Sunday - Rest Day
Package Contents
BSN packaging all seem to carry the same theme, distinctive red with cool reflective lettering. In my package from BSN I received N.O.-Xplode 2.0 Green Apple, AMINOx Green Apple, a cool black and red BSN Hyper FX shaker cup, and an awesome Team BSN T-Shirt! Very generous as always! Thanks a ton guys!
Unfortunately, the grey lid on my tub of N.O.Xplode cracked and broke during shipping, so some of the N.O.Xplode spilled out of the container and into the box coating the contents in a green apple dust. Needless to say it smelled really good when I opened the box LOL. I was able to take to lid from an empty container of Syntha-6 and use it as a replacement lid for the remaining N.O.-Xplode. There’s still about ¾ of a container left.

Initial Impressions
The N.O.-Xplode Green Apple smells amazing! I’d say it smells like Green Jolly Ranchers. YUM! The smell was so good in fact that I wore my BSN T-Shirt that had the green apple dusting spilled on it all day. The green apple AMINOx smells equally good!
Mixabillity
The N.O.-Xplode Green Apple started to bubble and dissolve as soon as it hit the water.
I found that the N.O.Xplode mixed very easily into 8oz of water, and there was practically no froth.
The AMINOx also mixed very easy into water.
Minimal shaking was required. There was a little more froth than there was with the N.O.-Xplode, but it was minimal.
With both, everything completely dissolved. There were not lumps or undisolved particles.
Taste
N.O.Xplode tastes really good. Sweet like green jolly ranchers. I enjoy it a lot. The AMINOx tastes a little less sweet than the N.O. which is perfect for sipping on during your workout. All in all, both of these products taste great!
Energy
I had one scoop of N.O.-Xplode yesterday about 30 minutes before my workout. My energy level was good throughout my workout. I didn’t feel jittery or wired, and best of all, no crash! I’ll try 1.5 scoops today and see how that goes.
Pump
It’s hard to judge pump after only one use. I’ll update the pump feel once I’ve used it a few times.

Nice to have you here
I have tried both of them, and they both taste awesome! If you're looking for some really tasty protein give these two a try.
Thanks! I thought I'd try something a little different. The Space Needle on a clear night is breath taking!
First and second session will be posted shortly.
