Nastiest Whey EVER!!! AST's VP2

[glockgod]

Got it today, figure all hyrdrozied whey, looks good, tastes worse then dishwashing soap (Fruit Punch flavor).

Worst protein ever. Tried w/ fat free milk and water in blender...horrible, too bad I just lost $29 bucks that I will never get back.

Nasty nasty nasty.

Try some Nectar Fuzzy Navel you will be glad you did.

i got hydro whey in vanilla and at first i hatted it but now i really like it for some reason.

[dalywm]

I tried the AST VP2 chocolate that was ok, i never bought it again though because it was a rip off $30 for 2 lbs.

[naturalguy]

I like the fruit punch VP2

[Jigglybootch]

I thought the chocolate VP2 was pretty good. No better or worse than ON double chocolate, IMO.

And you mixed fruit punch flavored protein with milk? Ugh.

[glockgod]

well i wanted to be sure, so i mixed it w/ milk after just to see if the taste improves.

this isn't even a personal prefrence issue, this product doesn't even come close to tasting like anything that humans are supposto consume. very aftificial, tastes like something you'd clean your bathtub with.

I purchased the AST VP2 Chocolate Whey... It's OK... nowhere near as good as a lot of the other brands out there. I just mix a scoop of the AST protein with a scoop of Syntha-6 or Dymatize Elite or whatever.

Not sure what the heck you could mix with Fruit Punch to lessen the taste, maybe vanilla?

Good Luck, just don't chuck it, it still works (unless of course you're beefing it up everywhere, then chuck it).

i liked fruit punch vp2 when mixed with dextrose but only tried it a few times. i like choc vp2 better than dymatize or ON. if u care about taste, which shouldnt be ur number one concern if ur tryin to get in shape, go with Gf-Pro.

[djansen]

mix the fruit puch with crystal light or walmarts version of crystal light.

[glockgod]

i got it even better, Vitamin Shop has agreed to take it back for store credit, so im getting Syntha 6 and Lean Dessert, both taste pretty close to what you'd get at Friendlies...

Yeah taste isn't everything, but if you can have both why not?

[Rodzilla]

its hydrolyzed whey, its known to taste somewhat bitter. its more optimal post workout than syntha 6 because VP2 is a fast acting whey as opposed to syntha-6 and lean dessert which are combinations of faster and slower acting proteins.

post workout i would stick to whey isolate or hydro

any other time syntha 6 is delecious

[Warneckutz]

You have a point there...

[DinoT1985]

lol, the funny thing is months ago people were raving about how great VP2 was.

[Yates Row T]

syntha 6 wouldnt even be in the same cat. as vp2 or any whey protein. it has 5 grams of fiber and 6 grams of fat which isnt the best idea post workout besides the fact bsn is one of the most overrated companies in the industry

[rockosolido]

I picked up the Double Rich Chocolate on a whim while looking for something different...

For me, I should be mixing 3 scoops with 18oz of water. Completely bland, tasteless, almost like drinking slightly grainy water. So I toyed with the ratio and it actually tastes pretty decent at 4 scoops with 10oz of water.

Just too bad I'm taking in more of it than I need to.

old bump, but says who. im sick of hearing this.. you have no valid arguement. wheres the proof backing up that stictly whey is optimum post workout and that it shows significant gains and what not?

where do people get this from?

im not saying you're wrong, but you have no grounds for argument with **** like that..

i would give an analogy but ill assume you're smart enough to get my point.

[Yates Row T]

if you just want protein after you workout why dont you just eat a big meal. having a whey/carb shake post workout also allows you to fit more calories into your postworkout window which alone would give better results without proof.

u can 2 scoops of ur syntha 6 which would give you 400 cal.

u can have 30 grams whey/ 40 grams carbs = 280

then u will need to eat within the next hour which u wouldnt do with syntha 6 or another meal repleacement.

45 in after first shake ill have 3/4 cup of oats 1/12 cup skim milk 1 scoop whey and a banana = around 500 cal.

that right there would give u more results being that your gettin 750-800 calories that are very usable within the first hour of working out, or u can 400 cal from syntha 6.

and its not just about downing calories its about the use of the calories or gettin the nutrients to help recvoer

[descartes]

I tried this product two years ago

never noticed a difference

and why exactly couldnt you eat after the syntha 6 also? just a question... i eat all the time after my protein shakes

[Yates Row T]

u are a genius........if it is a blend of protein what good would eating 30 minutes or an hour later as u would still have protein breaking down up to 3-4 hours after a syntha 6 shake.

people eat every 2- 3 hours for a reason, utilization of nutrients.would u eat a piece of chicken and have steak 30 minutes later. if you say yes slap yourself.

Nasty nasty nasty.

I'd recommend mixing that flavour with water only so it's more like a fruit drink. I've also started adding 1 tsp of gatorade powder for post workout which makes it taste even better.
My general rule of thumb is creamy flavours (i.e. Vanilla, choc etc) go with milk, flavours like lemon, tropical, berry etc go with water.
