Hey guys! So after a year or two of using ON gold standard whey protein (chocolate) I got really sick of the chocolate flavor so I decided to mix it up a bit and try something new. Saw the BOGO 50% off sale for Promore and heard lots of good reviews on the forum so I decided to give it a try! I ordered the Cinnamon Bun and Orange Cream Pop flavor and overall I thought the Cinnamon Bun was my favorite.
Forgive me for the bad photo attached, I can't really take a good picture because my blender bottle is black lol. I also don't know why I took the picture through the cap LOL. fail..
Cinnamon Bun Flavor:
Taste - 10/10 - I REALLY enjoyed drinking this shake for a couple reasons. For one, Ive never tried a different protein shake flavor other than chocolate so to try this was really refreshing. Also, I think they nailed the flavor down pretty well. I cant compare it to any other cinnamon bun flavored protein shakes though because Ive never had anything else but chocolate.
Consistency - 10/10 was spot on, not very thick or very thin, just right. Tasted kinda like the icing on the doughy part of a cinnamon roll to me . Had a great texture all around
Mixability- 10/10 - I used about 9-10 oz of milk with 1 full scoop of the protein and shook it for about a minute in my blender bottle. Had no problems whatsoever with clumping. I usually blend things in my vitamix blender just so I can avoid clumps but knowing that I can do it in my blender bottle now makes it a lot easier and more convenient. Not gonna lie though, I did have to wait a couple mins for the bubbles/foaming to go down because it had a lot after blending it. Not a big deal for me though.
Packaging - 9.9/10 - Had to dock off .1 points because my scooper was all the way in the bottom of the tub lul.
Overall - 10/10 - This would be my go-to protein for now .
Orange Cream Pop: Brief review
Taste - 8/10 - Although I enjoyed the shake, I cant say it beats the Cinnamon Bun flavor . This flavor was a little too sweet for me but the texture felt just right. Ive never had an Orange Cream Pop so I cant really comment on how well it duplicates that flavor.
Mixability - 10/10 - I used about 8 oz of whole milk for this one and did the same procedure of shaking it in the blender bottle for about a minute. Like the Cinnamon Bun, it did foam a bit so I had to wait a couple mins for it to settle before drinking it but its no big deal imo. No clumping at all
Overall - 8/10 - Not my favorite but it is definitely very tasty
P.S. I don't usually do reviews so sorry if it's a little lacking haha. Pretty new to this forum .

I would be all over the vanilla....please do this. Still loving the Orange Creamsicle, been mixing with Cellucor Whipped Vanilla 1/2 and 1/2 and that is pretty damn good. I'm sure CL Vanilla would be even better.
I want to try Promore Cinnabun but I've burned in the past with so called Cinnabun flavors, they have all had a bad chemical after-taste.

Try our PROmore as I'm sure you'll be super impressed and won't ever go back to ON afterward
Awesome to hear you're enjoying them. If all goes well we can add new flavors to the line up and maybe even bring back the Vanilla and Chocolate Cupcake Batter which tons of people loved.Controlled Labs Rep

Holy crap, I think I'm gonna have to take advantage of this deal. Why is there another awesome sale so soon?! I don't mind, but I'm curious lol. Maybe if I wait another month there will be a buy 1 get 1 90& off haha.
EDIT: Just stocked up on another 8 lbs of protein, I'm think I'm set for awhile lol, my wallet needs a break.Last edited by RoyalRyy; 05-02-2017 at 11:08 PM.

I jumped on the deal also and grabbed the same two flavors and honestly if there was a 4th flavor
I would of grabbed it along with the Snicker Doodle Cookie also cause I LOVE spice flavors such as
ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and all spice and this flavor kind of has all those combined and I've been
enjoying the Snicker Doodle Cookie as much as the Cinnamon.
