EAS Whey Protein Review

[colindep]

This is quite simply the worst whey protein product I have ever tried. I decided to try it because it is less expensive then ON whey, the product I usually use. I have also tried cytosport whey, prolab whey, GNC whey, champion nutrition whey, nitrotech, bsn lean desert/syntha 6, and syntrax. So, I have experience with alot of the popular whey products and this one was by far the worst. I expected a much better product from EAS.

TASTE 2/10
I tried vanilla and it tastes more like hay and feet. I'm not sure why hay but thats just what it reminds me of.

MIXABILITY 1/10
Just not possible to mix with a spoon. Most other products I have tried will mix with a spoon, but not this one. ON casien mixed better with a spoon than this product. It globs up and sticks in massive clumps to the spoon and glass.

EFFECTIVENESS 5/10
This is a tough category to evaluate with a protein powder so all I will say is that it didn't effect my progress one way or another. I would expect EAS to make a quality whey protein complex, however judging by the taste I can't be sure.

OVERALL 3/10
Steer clear of this crap! Spend your money on ON whey. I wrote this review because I have never been more disappointed with a product. There is a certain quality standard in the supplement market now and this product just does not meet it.

I'm running through a bag of the EAS chocolate that I picked up at Sams a few weeks ago (25 bucks for 6 lbs) and I can't say anything bad about it. It tastes amazing with milk and acceptable with water, mixes well in my blender bottle too. I would actually consider buying it again for the price alone, plus IMO the taste isn't really a huge hindrance. It doesn't taste like candy, but its not that bad.

[bignpisst]

Vanilla is not my fave, but I dont think its bad at all

[inkedouttrucca]

Hay And Feet. Yikees Haha

You must have nothing to compare it to because I cannot honestly understand how you would consider buying it again.

Exactly the same here. Bought a bag of chocolate at Sam's and it doesn't taste bad and is much cheaper. Definately will buy it again.

Yeah, that stuff isnt bad at all. Im thinking about switching back to it.
How does this dude know what hay and feet taste like.

no, I've taken tons of different protein powders, maybe I'm just not as picky as you. That being said, vanilla is usually my last choice of flavor, no matter what brand-I always get tired of it after like a week.

[BoiseLifer]

I have used EAS Whey and ON Whey. I prefer EAS by far. Especially the taste. I had heard the talk and reviews of how great ON Whey was/is. I couldn't stand the stuff.

x 2. I love this stuff. It's great in milk or oats. The OP must have a more distinguished pallate than me.

[DAVIS194]

LOL ya I actually love eas and prefer it to all other protiens, especially the vanilla. It tastes good, mixes easy (never mixed protien with a spoon?), and cant beat the price. Having worked at GNC Ive pretty muched tasted every protien powder out there in the past year and have to say this is top 3 or 4. Maybe ya got an old batch?

[FaceThePain]

You should really mix in a blender, or blender bottle, mixing protein w/ a spoon will not do the same as a blender, so I would try it again.
EAS whey, IMO is very good for the price, I'd have no problem buying it.

[Lando33]

The trouble right now is BJ's and Costco's in my area at least, have switched over to carrying only the Vanilla. I love the chocolate and while I can defintily stomach the vanilla, my rule is always Chocolate over Vanilla. I hope the switch back to chocolate b/c the 6lb bag is still the best deal around!

lol

[Rippinit]

I think the op is referring to the 100% whey by eas-the one from costco is a blend and it is the ****.

[Byrne89]

lol wow you basically judged the whole protein on its taste... haha
i love eas whey protein ... especially the chocolate flavor... good bang for your buck

[Rippinit]

btw-lando-i was one of the competitors in what i believe was your first show (N.B.I.)- I was in the teen class then (italian kid lol)-good to see you are doing well for yourself. I hope i can accomplish what you have naturally one day.

yeah, i bought vanilla when i was like a freshman in high school and first starting working out and havnt bought it since

[captain_swole]

Eat that **** for breakfast lunch and dinner .

I've been through a lot of choc and vanilla, both taste great and mix great for me. Obviously taste is subjective, but it mixes better than most protein out there.

[vazquez]

guys there's 2 forms of eas protein being sold at costco/sam's

one is a blend and the other is straight whey.

op, which one do you have?

[fates_child03]

I've personally never found a problem with the taste of either Vanilla or Chocolate EAS lol. I do prefer chocolate in most brands but the vanilla isn't terrible tasting. Its about as cheap of a price for protein as you will find anywhere if you are strapped for cash.

yea, i really like the chocolate too. This is a good protein.

[Mir]

i bought that 6 pound bag of chocolate EAS from sam's club. I like it. I use 2 scoops and i think it tastes really good. it mixes really easily in a shaker cup. and it's only $25. good deal if you ask me

[Dan0_123]

I went through the 6lb bag from Sam's. It was the protein blend. I don't like the fact that they sweeten it with Aspartame as I try to avoid it if at all possible. I won't buy it again because of that.

The powder itself mixed fantastic with a spoon in water and milk. I bought the chocolate which is always my default flavor. Compared to ON whey it's about the same taste wise... I just throw the crap down my throat anyway.

[Ace50]

its quality protein that can be compared to other concentrate/isolate whey blends in the market.

Its cheap, and does its job.

It tastes better than nitrotech lol...all protein powders taste that same just drink it

[liftingbuddy1]

I tried vanilla and it tastes more like hay and feet. I'm not sure why hay but thats just what it reminds me of.

Apparantly, the OP has experienced the taste of feet, why question hay?

[cakedonkey]

The stuff really is garbage. Horrible mixability, taste, and digestion--all of the criteria by which a whey protein product should be judged.

Look at Iron-Tek (Essential Natural Protein) or NOW's whey protein. Leaps and bounds ahead in all regards; not to mention bearing the cGMP emblem.

[Dizzydog]

100% EAS Whey from Sams is what im using tastes EXCELLENT with Milk actually.

Very good with Water.

The Vanilla is plain nasty though, as are most Vanillas IMO. Stick to the chocolate!

[Samoyoho123]

your just a little bitch whining because the protein taste bad
