The only other Cookies & Cream flavor that I have seen good things about was Beverly International’s. I decided to take the plunge on this costly protein, and see if it stacked up.
Mixability & texture:
I used 6oz of water and put it in my blender. It mixed to nearly a sludge consistency! I needed to add a few more ounces to be able to drink it. I thought this was pretty awesome. It is creamy and also has “cookie” bits.
Taste:
This protein can only be described as liquid cookies & cream ice cream. It has a great balance of sweetness and is milky. I was reminded of Talenti Caramel Cookie Crunch Gelato – obviously without the caramel though. For those that want to compare this to Protogen, the difference is that Protogen has a hint of chalkiness.
Final Score:
I had a tough time deciding between Giant Sports and Beverly as my favorite Cookies & Cream flavor to date. I think I prefer Giant’s with a slight margin because of the milkier texture of Beverly. I love ice cream but I really don’t like milk – I know it’s weird. With that said, it had to be rated lower than Giant’s Cookies and Crème.
9.75/10
Comparable Proteins:
-Giant Sports (10/10)
-Protogen (9/10)
If you want to trade me for samples, let me know. I want to try every cookies & cream flavor possible.

Love this product, it is actually probably my favorite protein on the market and absolutely my favorite cookies n creme on the market. I recently got the chocolate and it is also quite good, though c n c is just unbeatable.
Beverly = top notch

I'll end up getting more but it's pricey. My wife can drink this without any mixins. That's a plus.Originally Posted by SwolenONE

Oh man Beverly International! This was the very first brand I ever saw of supplements when I started working out back in 2003. I remember buying Ultra Size and Mass Maker! I loved them back than but like you guys mentioned its a bit pricey.
Up until this year I still had them as best tasting protein I had ever taken.Army Veteran, OEF.

Interesting, I still have Beverly as the top dog. That Giant Sports vanilla is great and made by two of the best people in the industry.Originally Posted by brazilianbadboy

With as expensive as everything else is right now, I dont mind paying the extra $2-3 per pound to go with Beverly over some other proteins as most as around 25+ dollars for 2lbOriginally Posted by FeFit4Life

I haven't had any of their proteins since 2007 or 2008. So I can't remember how they would stack up against the Eat Smart and Giant Sports Delicious protein. But I wouldn't doubt that for one second that they are still top of the line!Originally Posted by SwolenONE

Good review, op. Funny too, as I just polished off a jar of Talenti Caramel Cookie Crunch last night, too (fatty's gon fat). Lol. I absolutely love all 3 flavors of UMP, but do think they are just a shade below Giant Sports when it comes to flavor. It's close though. Beverly makes some great stuff!

Haha, that we will not do... flavoring protein with added ArA powder is a no go, that would be a damn tough job.Originally Posted by brazilianbadboy
