    Active Armour Nutrition Comprehensive Isolate Flavors Review

    I saw a new protein distributor on eBay a week ago, and decided to contact the company to see if I could get a sample. They had some interesting sounding flavors, particularly Vanilla Cupcake and Vanilla Peanut Butter. I cannot begin to explain the love affair I have had with peanut butter in my life. I eat it every day. I really haven't found a chocolate peanut butter flavor that I have enjoyed for more than a few shakes. But, when I saw this company had a vanilla peanut butter I had to try it. The owner of Active Armour contacted me the same day, and got my address to send out a few samples. I figured some of you guys would be interested in a review. He sent me all four flavors they have, so I'll discuss each in turn.


    Profile: 10/10 - The profile of these shakes is where this company really shines. Each shake has 29 grams of whey protein isolate, 0 grams fat, 1 gram of carbs, and 120 calories. It doesn't get much better without sacrificing taste. The ingredient list is very short, for a 33 gram serving you get 29 grams of protein. That's pretty close to perfect.

    Texture/Mixability: 9/10 - All of the flavors mixed really quickly. Chocolate was the only flavor to clump, but a few extra shakes took care of it.

    Taste:
    Vanilla Cupcake - 9.5/10 - the taste of this was really clean, no chalky aftertaste. I'd compare the flavor to a funfetti cupcake with vanilla icing. My second favorite of the bunch.

    Vanilla Peanut Butter - 10/10 - this one was the flavor I was most excited to try. I tried it alone at first, and the flavor was similar to adding PB2 to ON Vanilla (an excellent combo BTW). Then I took the owner's advice and blended it with a spoonful of natural peanut butter. This was definitely the best shake I've ever had. I'd rename the flavor God Mode if it were my product.

    Cinnamon Roll - 8.5/10 - I really like cinnamon roll flavors, and it seems that every one I've tried has tasted different. I like the fact that this flavor doesn't taste buttery like the Myofusion Probiotic version. It wasn't as sweet as MGN's Cinnamon Bun, but that was almost too sweet for my taste. Overall this was a good cinnamon flavor, I'd definitely get it again.

    Chocolate - 8/10 - I'm really not much for chocolate flavors. I've tried a bunch, but they really do not appeal to me. This was a decent version, I'd compare it to a store bot Chocolate Milk. The flavor isn't as overpowering as others, like Myo Choc or ON's Extreme Milk Chocolate.

    Overall 9.5/10 - I love the profile of these shakes, and I'll definitely be getting some of the Vanilla Peanut Butter. For a guy like me who's looking for a lower carb, high quality protein with no additives these are perfect. Definitely a purchase in the near future.

    I've been in contact with the owner over the last week (since I told him I'd be putting up a review here) and he indicated that he would be willing to send out some samples for other guys to try. You can go to their website or email him directly at info@activean.com and try the shakes themselves.

    You guys can check out pictures of the samples/shakes in the attachments.

    Carry on gentlemen.

    For 5lbs, that's about 62-63 servings. I'd say it's on the lower end of average, but not necessarily 'low'

    For example, Myo pro is 58 servings in 5lbs, Trutein is 67, and ON is like 74

    Yeah, but you're getting more protein per scoop, 29 grams and 120 calories. So a full scoop is bigger than the average serving to begin with.

    Hey everyone, thank you for your interest in the Armor Whey Isolate shakes. I hope you all enjoy your free samples. Posting your reviews on here and any other boards that you belong to would be greatly appreciated. If you do post elsewhere, send us the link to info@ActiveAN.com and we will send you a free 2lb bag.

    With that said, time to defend Active Armor and the amount of servings per pound, etc..... Don't take offense to this anyone, as you are all potential Active Armor customers, but you guys are wrong about servings per pound. Also, keep in mind that most of these shakes are "protein blends" which means they are adding inferior whey concentrate to save money, and there is added fat and carbs to improve their flavor and texture.

    Luke, you mentioned one of your shakes have 74 servings in a 5lb tub. 1lb = 453g of powder. It says 32g in a serving for Caramel Toffee Fudge and Mocha Cappachino. 453 / 32 = 14 servings per pound. That's 28 servings in a 2 lb, but according to their label, there are 32 servings.

    More importantly.... Of that 32g of powder, only 24g is protein... 32g / by the amount of protein, 24g, comes out to 75% purity.

    Armor Whey Isolate contains 29 grams of whey protein isolate per 33 gram serving. To calculate the protein purity of the product, divide the amount of protein (29g) divided by total weight (33g).

    29g / 33g = .8787 = 88% purity

    Now try this simple calculation on your current protein shake and see the difference in quality. Hopefully you saved the receipt.

    If you have a question about something else, feel free to email us at info@ActiveAN.com or post it here and we will answer it as soon as possible.

    Thank you

    Just got my samples, tried the cupcake, holy sht thats sweet. Will be using more water in the other samples. They paid 3$ to send out samples kudos for that though.

    Seemed to have a sort of "waxy mouth feel" any one notice that?

    Why would you use only 5oz of water? What shakes would taste good with only 5oz of water? Follow the instructions on the package... 8-10oz water and 1-2 ice cubes. Add crunchy, natural peanut butter if you like a thicker shake. Blend for 40 seconds.

    It's pretty unfair to make the shake or shakes incorrectly and then post negative reviews about it.

    When in doubt... try Vanilla Peanut Butter. lol

    Thats how i always mix them.. less water = stronger flavor. Thats the sweet spot for me others use more no biggy. Used more water in the others similar results.

    Thank you guys for the recommendation, I emailed Active Armor and received my samples. I love the high concentration of 29g protein per serving, along with the taste of the vanilla peanut butter and chocolate that I requested. Following this discussion, I noticed that adding 2 ice cubes made a great deal of difference, making the shake much more refreshing. I also followed the recipes on the Active Armor Page and tried the banana bread shake, cool idea.

    The difference between these shakes and others I have used is they didn’t feel cheap or leave the chemical taste in my mouth. The owner was very helpful and walked me through the process before I even ordered. Very rare these days to have someone that actually cares about the customer, unlike the D-Bags at most stores that simply want to sell you on over-priced products. I have been working out for about 4 years but am open to new instruction/products so this a great feel for me. Thanks again all!

    I blended mine with some crushed ice, no gloop here. Mine was good, a good middle ground between sickeningly sweet like MGN and not sweet enough like Myo Cinnamon Roll.

    Glad you liked them! I felt the same way. The customer service really is better with this guy. Other supp companies should take notes.

    I saw a new protein distributor on eBay a week ago, and decided to contact the company to see if I could get a sample. They had some interesting sounding flavors, particularly Vanilla Cupcake and Vanilla Peanut Butter. I cannot begin to explain the love affair I have had with peanut butter in my life. I eat it every day. I really haven't found a chocolate peanut butter flavor that I have enjoyed for more than a few shakes. But, when I saw this company had a vanilla peanut butter I had to try it. The owner of Active Armour contacted me the same day, and got my address to send out a few samples. I figured some of you guys would be interested in a review. He sent me all four flavors they have, so I'll discuss each in turn.


    Profile: 10/10 - The profile of these shakes is where this company really shines. Each shake has 29 grams of whey protein isolate, 0 grams fat, 1 gram of carbs, and 120 calories. It doesn't get much better without sacrificing taste. The ingredient list is very short, for a 33 gram serving you get 29 grams of protein. That's pretty close to perfect.

    Texture/Mixability: 9/10 - All of the flavors mixed really quickly. Chocolate was the only flavor to clump, but a few extra shakes took care of it.

    Taste:
    Vanilla Cupcake - 9.5/10 - the taste of this was really clean, no chalky aftertaste. I'd compare the flavor to a funfetti cupcake with vanilla icing. My second favorite of the bunch.

    Vanilla Peanut Butter - 10/10 - this one was the flavor I was most excited to try. I tried it alone at first, and the flavor was similar to adding PB2 to ON Vanilla (an excellent combo BTW). Then I took the owner's advice and blended it with a spoonful of natural peanut butter. This was definitely the best shake I've ever had. I'd rename the flavor God Mode if it were my product.

    Cinnamon Roll - 8.5/10 - I really like cinnamon roll flavors, and it seems that every one I've tried has tasted different. I like the fact that this flavor doesn't taste buttery like the Myofusion Probiotic version. It wasn't as sweet as MGN's Cinnamon Bun, but that was almost too sweet for my taste. Overall this was a good cinnamon flavor, I'd definitely get it again.

    Chocolate - 8/10 - I'm really not much for chocolate flavors. I've tried a bunch, but they really do not appeal to me. This was a decent version, I'd compare it to a store bot Chocolate Milk. The flavor isn't as overpowering as others, like Myo Choc or ON's Extreme Milk Chocolate.

    Overall 9.5/10 - I love the profile of these shakes, and I'll definitely be getting some of the Vanilla Peanut Butter. For a guy like me who's looking for a lower carb, high quality protein with no additives these are perfect. Definitely a purchase in the near future.

    I've been in contact with the owner over the last week (since I told him I'd be putting up a review here) and he indicated that he would be willing to send out some samples for other guys to try. You can go to their website or email him directly at info@activean.com and try the shakes themselves.

    You guys can check out pictures of the samples/shakes in the attachments.

    Carry on gentlemen.
    Good review!
