PES Select hype;

**DJEvans89** · 05-09-2015, 01:42 PM

Is real.

Had a little birthday order, and I've been reading on here a while about how good select is, particularly snickerdoodle . Now in the UK snickerdoodle/cinnamon flavoured stuff isn't that popular. So while everyone in the US raves about cinnamon flavored shakes I don't really have much to go off except cinnamon swirls, so with that I went for the safe option and ordered cookies and cream.

Smells amazing, tastes amazing. Still adjusting the liquid side of things. I did get the perfect amount the other day can't remember how much almond milk I used.

Anyway, Glad I tried PES select and it was mainly down to these boards and reading countless reviews on here.

I'm going to start mixing it in with porridge and yogurt when I get chance, maybe try protein ice cream

If you really enjoy the CnC, SnickerDoodle or PB Cup may blow you away both are great flavors.

**macwad** · 05-09-2015, 02:14 PM

The day you first try PES Select...

I bought some Total Protein because it was on BOGO...
Taste: meh...
Hurried back to Select...

**aaronuconn** · 05-09-2015, 02:19 PM

Not only a great tasting product, but one that is formulated well, also.

We appreciate you giving us a shot! Hopefully you'll be able to give all the other flavors a shot in the near future. PBC and Snickerdoodle are my top two.

**OT2000** · 05-09-2015, 02:30 PM

PES SD is amazing! Try their Chocolate PBC! GOAT

**kbayne** · 05-09-2015, 03:04 PM

Glad you feel the hype is real

**Bigdumogre** · 05-09-2015, 03:32 PM

I gotta get around to trying snickerdoodle
I know I want be disappointed.

**CashmereEsquire** · 05-09-2015, 04:04 PM

lol Im waiting for a PES Select Scandal to happen about something being fishy, because the value on this stuff is amazing and damn near too good to be true when you look at the rest of the protein industry. Amazing Profile and taste for a good price.

IIRC Stack3d tested it and it actually came out slightly ahead of the label as far as protein content. I've only had SD so far which was fantastic. I need to get in on that PBC though.

That's correct.

It's not the cheapest option and you won't see it on a BOGO sale, but you certainly get what you pay for.

**SCG** · 05-09-2015, 04:29 PM

I have only bought select once and unfortunately it wasn't a great, had snickerdoodle, flavor was good, just not as good as everyone hyped it up to be. bb.com fixed up my issue though so happy in the end. I may try another tub down the road at somepoint just the chewy white chunks I found in my select really turned me off. Was like drinking a shake with small pieces of uncooked rice.

**SOH11** · 05-09-2015, 04:31 PM

Really want to try Snickerdoodle and PBC...heard way too many good things.

From Snickerdoodle?

Honestly haven't heard anyone complain about this or mixabilty issues.

Yea I heard, IMO and I`m not even trying to brand whore, but PES Select IMO is the GOAT protein I've had when you factor the ratio of taste and profile.

**solidsnake4230** · 05-09-2015, 05:36 PM

CnC is my favorite, I'm on my snicker doodle tub I don't know maybe I expected way to much but it's alright I prefer CnC all the way.

**MillerTime07** · 05-09-2015, 05:43 PM

Snickerdoodle is my number 1 protein across all brands. Blondie is around 8/10, could take it or leave it. Their chocolate is okay, but nothing special. Haven't tried CnC yet.

A lot of people have CnC as their favorite of all the flavors. I'd put it in top 3 of Select flavors.

You responded to him when he brought it up before.

This. I reached out to aaron as I seen he was online at the time, he was going to resolve the issue but told me to contact bb.com instead. After I sent them a few pics/batch number yada yada it was taken care of. Its all good. In 15years of supplement use this is the first time I've had to contact bb.com customer service so I was overdue.

As you know i've had this same problem with mine. Very disappointing considering the flavor is good.

**AMeyer9** · 05-09-2015, 06:17 PM

didn't think snickerdoodle lived up to the hype. you probably made a good choice

Okay my bad then.

Glad the issue was resolved though

**Shermanatorx** · 05-09-2015, 06:56 PM

The formulator is a good friend of mine and he put a ton of thought and quality ingredients into the product. It's a staple for me.

^^^This^^^ of course I'm not a huge fan of snickerdoodle cookies so that could be my issue. It's not bad by any means just not my favorite. The C&C and new PBC are my favorites. The profile and flavors keep me coming back. Keep up the good work PES...

**DGarcia519** · 05-09-2015, 07:49 PM

Glad to hear you're liking it. It took me awhile to break down as well (waited until the 55's dropped) but I'm glad I did. I haven't had SD or CnC in a couple of months (hoping to remedy that soon) but I loved them both. Currently enjoying Blondie, which doesn't get the love it deserves. I think for me (based on memory) my order would be:
SD = CnC >= Blondie > MC
I'm assuming PBC to top that list as it's one of my favorite flavor combos of all time. Regardless, it's one of the few proteins I'll buy at regular price (as long as I have a 10% to at least cover shipping :P). The only other protein I've tried that even comes close flavor wise is Whey-Smooth (M&C and CPBC), which is another quality product.

My only complaint - I find that if I don't shake the ever-loving **** out of it, that it clumps fairly regularly at the top of my shaker. Possibly due to the high MPC content?

**kbayne** · 05-09-2015, 08:15 PM

Possibly use a blender ball?

probably didn't shake it properly, some people forget it is half casein which is thicker. and might need a bit longer to shake unlike straight whey

Check PM's

**DJEvans89** · 05-10-2015, 05:01 AM

I think PBC will be my next select purchase, only issue is things are really slow to get into the UK bb store, atm there is no select at all...

On big tub 6, small tub 5. TBH every batch mixes hard with cold water in a shaker. It's not a light powder. Magic bullet only for me or mixes fine in warm water, example proats. I really think it's just asking too much of the product to mix like an isolate heavy powder. Quality is there tho IMO.
