Just got [what I thought was my usual] Low-Carb Metabolic Drive protein powder yesterday. The packaging was new - I didn't know it was reformulated as well. Then I noticed that it's now casein / whey mixture. ABSOLUTELY HATE IT - smells awful, tastes awful, coagulates in mixtures...
So sad. I used to recommend this product to EVERYONE, now I want to caution EVERYONE to stay away. They do not offer an alternative 100% whey PP that I could see. They have Surge, which I used to take, but I find I'd rather get my simple sugars from food instead post-workout. Saves me some dough...
I don't understand why manufacturers have to mess with something that ain't broke?!? I'm so irritated. ESPECIALLY, since most protein powders SUCK IMHO. I find ON absolutely AWFUL (medicinal tasting), but OODLES of BB.com'ers love it - it's all a matter of taste I suppose.
I haven't had a chance to check out what other PP's people recommend. Beverly Int'l is so effin expensive, but I've heard good things around the gym...
RANT OVER
P.S. I have already e-mailed Biotest w/ my product complaint. I am returning my entire purchase of the *NEW* Met Drive ASAP!

Scivation chocolate whey is my favorite. Cheap, tastes awesome and only 1g carb per serving. I have some sludge w/ pb and blueberries 2 X a day, every day!!

**update**i Heard From Biotest
I know you guys aren't gonna like this, but I feel compelled to let everyone know that I received a call today from Biotest regarding my complaint regarding the new formula for Met Drive's Protein Powder.
He asked that I NOT return my unused products and gave me a credit for the full amount I paid. He indicated that they are RETURNING to the ORIGINAL FORMULA and will also send me 2 replacement containers AT NO CHARGE. He was very nice and wanted to make sure that I was satisfied with this resolution.
I have NO interested, WHATSOEVER, in bashing or "pushing" Biotest products. I didn't know that they had such a poor reputation around BB.com. (I found their products to be competitively priced). I do, HOWEVER, PERSONALLY enjoy this product and felt that people should know that they have satisfactorily responded to my complaint.Live life, lift heavy and be happy..Oh! And BSavage too!
