Here is my review of the new verison of Substance WPI Watermelon, mixing 1 serving in 8oz water, with 2 ice cubes.

Mixing

It mixed well, with the only clumps being small and up on the grid of the shaker. However it did foam up and went from 8oz of liquid to 12oz after mixing, however it went back down after sitting for around two minutes. Overall I would say a 9 out of 10

Taste

Good taste, tasted similar to watermelon gatorade, just weaker. Aftertaste was mild. 4 out of 5

Texture

Smooth as can be, not gritty or anything. 5 out of 5

Overall

Solid product, would buy again. Would Recommend to anyone who likes watermelon. Final Rating, 9 out of 10

[Beast]

Thanks for the review.

Bumping this up for the other reviews as they should be getting their jugs soon.

I received my Watermelon Substance WPI today.

Went ahead and mixed some up for my postworkout shake.

I intend to mix this different ways to see how it turns out using different methods...and today for PWO I chose to stir with a spoon, mixed in water.

Taste
Very pleasant. Defintely tastes like watermelon. It's not overly sweet and doesn't have that syrupy taste. A little creamy, as well...in a good way.
8 out of 10

Mixability
Mixes very well with a spoon. Often times, a protein will say that it mixes instantly with a spoon, but it doesn't. This stuff mixes up really well. There was very little residue left on the side of the cup after mixing and nothing grainy or gritty at the bottom of the glass. No foaming whatsoever.
9 out of 10

Overall
I can't say anything bad about this product. It smells good, it tastes good, it mixes well...as long as you like watermelon, this is a fantastic protein. This is honestly the best tasting, best mixing, best overall pure whey protein I've ever used. I can't comment on any gains it may help impart, but it gets the thumbs up from me!

I just mixed up some WPI in a shaker cup and it does foam up pretty well. I didn't bother to let it sit to see if it went down...I assume it does since the other guy said that his did. I just drank mine while it was all foamy. It wasn't too bad.

This stuff really does taste good!

[Beast]

Thanks for the review J. Bumping for the others.

had watermelon substance wpi for first time today, i was impressed. mixed it in about 8 oz water, 1 scoop.

Taste:
Aside from muscle milk, this is easily the best tasting protein ive ever had. im usually an optimum guy, but this is far and away better tasting. 9.5/10

Mixability:
Used a shaker bottle with built in grate type mixer thing. Only had 1 marble size clump, could have probably mixed perfectly but shaker leaked a little so i had to stop (how frickin hard is it to make a non-leaking shaker?) 8/10

Overall:
Like I said, easily best tasting whey ive ever had. Mixed just fine, no aftertaste, and at a decent price. 9/10

I highly recommend everyone to give this a shot next time they put their order in.

[aceman0920]

for those of u that gave the product a 9 out of 10 but said it was perfect, what kept u from giving it a 10 out of 10?

[j_neatherlin]

i don't think i said that it was perfect, but here is my reasoning, if what i wrote wasn't enough.

taste is very good...very pleasant, but it wasn't like muscle milk where i am like "holy crap i could live off of this stuff!" but it also doesn't have 18g fat per serving.

i gave mixability with a spoon a 9, b/c it mixes very well w/ a spoon, but there were a few specks left on the sides of the cup. with a shaker, I'd give this an 8/10. today i used a hand blender to mix up the WPI and I'd give this a 10/10 with a hand blender. mixed perfectly.

well to be honest, nothing is perfect, its like those professors you had in school that said nobody deserves a 100, but this stuff is damn close.

[Colinballin23]

still haven't got mine have all other testers receieved theres?

[bgizzle99]

grape is better

[Wedgylx]

Watermelon Substance is my all time favorite protein.

PROS
-Great flavor. Not only is this a great change of pace from chocolate/vanilla/strawberry but I actually look forward to drinking it. Its not too sweet, and has just enough flavoring added in to taste the watermelon but it doesnt overpower the consumer.
-When mixing into warm (room temperature) water, it takes 5 seconds of stirring and its mixed great. I usually mix it into room temperature water, then add 1-2 cubes of ice.
-Not "chalky" or gritty.
-Has all the basic benefits of a WPI.

CONS
-CANNOT be put in a blender. It will foam up like crazy. However thats common with any WPI.
-If you try to mix it in very cold water, it gets clumpy. However, again, thats common with WPI.

I'll definitely be buying this again. I was always very against WPI and stuck with WPC. But i can't go back after tasting this lol

[j_neatherlin]

that's really interesting Wedgylx

i threw 2 scoops of WPI in a cup with a few ice cubes and some water and used a hand blender and it didn't foam up at all.

hmm maybe its because of the speed of your hand blender? If i put it in a normal stand up blender it more than doubles in volume due to the foam. I've gone through 2 tubs and experienced it from both as well as having a friend who had that problem. Its a common problem with nectar and other WPI as well.

Its not serious enough to make me not continue to use it

[j_neatherlin]

i don't want to get too off topic here, since this is a review thread, but I will try mixing it up again tomorrow with my hand blender, without ice at first and then probably throwing some ice in after it's blended just to see what happens.

I get light foam in mine in a hand shaker but it dies down within a minute or so. Heres what I do for my workout shake (sip during workout) put 2 scoops in 16oz water (room temp) shake it up, wait about 1 minute and throw 7 or 8 ice cubes in it and it last me my whole workout.

yeah I have never had a problem with my shaker bottle really. Light foam as you said but nothing too serious. I do the same thing as you, mix it warm and add ice after it has been mixed totally

let me know how it goes. I had one of those hand blenders before but it broke. It had a white top and fit perfectly on top of a 20oz labeled plastic cup. I loved it while I had it.

[Tony]

Beast and Layne gave me about 30 packets of it at the arnold classic this year, and i loved it. I bought a container of it just about a month ago. It mixes well, it's not clumpy, tastes great...I can't complain. It's one of my favorite protiens out there.

[Colinballin23]

still haven't got mine.........has everyone else go theres? I live in Washington not far from California shouldn't take this long should it?

[j_neatherlin]

i tried mixing the WPI again today with the hand blender...and once again it came out freakin perfect. I use a 200 watt Braun hand blender...and it does a damn good job. i don't have a regular stand up blender, so i can't compare.

[ShannonC_77]

Just got my first tub today. This is definetly one of the best protein powders I've tried in a long time. Mixes without a problem and reminds me of some of the nectar flavors only not as sweet. I would definetly recommend it!

[pu12en12g]

Just tried the New Improved Substance WPI - Watermelon (comparing it to the first version).

Taste: 9/10.. I was impressed ! It has a very realistic sweet (and slightly sour) flavor that completely masks any whey taste. There is little or no aftertaste, which is important to me.

Mixability: 10/10... 100% Improved ! With the new version I had no foaming and it mixed instantly...

Texture: 10/10 Even though there appeared to be tiny little clumps... you can't taste or feel the clumps when you drink it.

Overall: 9/10

Review for Substance WPI New and Improved Juicy Watermelon

I just received a nice little packet of the new watermelon formula.

Taste: 10/10
I mixed it with 4oz of water like the package said. My first impression after mixing it was that it smelled like a jolly rancher. I took my first sip and I was amazed how awesome it tasted. You could not even taste the whey. I hope it’s in there because I can’t believe it tasted this good . I can feel a trace of an after taste but since it tastes so good, that’s fine with me.

Mixability: 9/10
Again, as stated above I mixed it with 4oz of water and it mixed very well. I know people said they had foaming issues with the old version. There was no foaming of any sort with this one. It took about 14 stirs to dissolve the product. There were still a few pieces, but you could not taste them when consumed.

Overall: 10/10
This is an excellent product. I will be adding it my supplement list. Anyone know the break down of the BCAA’s and Glutamine?

[avian]

i havent tried the new and improved, but i would like to add some input about the old watermelon substance:
i have reviewed when i had my second dose, im almost finishing up 1 jug and i must say the taste becomes better each day i try it

[Beast]

Thank you for all the detailed feedback guys. I am glad to see everyone likes the watermelon flavor and the new improved mixability

[Scivation]

I will be adding it my supplement list. Anyone know the break down of the BCAA’s and Glutamine?

It contains ~6grams BCAA and ~5grams glutamine.
