Hello all!
I am very excited to have received my shipment last night!
I was very lucky, and received a second tub of Delicious Protein in Vanilla!
When I got home, I opened up the PBC can, and immediately noticed how good this protein smells. You could detect the smell of peanut butter and chocolate, but neither aroma overpowered the other.
After digging a bit, I finally found the scoop and filled it with protein.
I added 7 ounces of water (right in between the recommended of 6-8 ounces), and poured in the protein!
I shook it up for about 15 seconds or so, and this is what I had
I must say that this is the best Peanut Butter Chocolate that I have ever had! It can only be described as a perfect balance between the two flavors. I can't wait to have some more today at the open of my feeding window with oats
My first impressions:
Taste: A home run! This stuff is so awesome so far. I plan on trying to do some different things with it with this log. I will try it with milk, and will attempt to cook with it. I'm kinda bad at cooking with protein powder, so we shall see.
Texture/Mouth feel: This is an excellent protein for you if you like a thick and creamy milkshake type consistency. I had two 1 scoop shakes last night. I mixed one with 7 ounces, and one with 8. The 7 ounce was obviously thicker, but not too thick. I personally found it perfect at the 8 ounce mark.
Profile The profile of this product is awesome as well:
-27g of Protein (per scoop)
-Gluten Free
-No added Sugar
-Extra BCAA's
-Only 4g of Carbs (per scoop)
I like that it has a blend of proteins, as my body seems to respond better to that. I also love the fact that it contains digestive enzymes as well.
Stay tuned for more impressions of this great product.
Thanks Peter and BK for this opportunity, and the free extra tub. I am so thankful!

And, today I tried some Proats.
Really simple ones, just 1 cup of old fashioned rolled oats, 2 scoops of Giant PBC Delicious Protein and water.
Cooked the oats, added the protein and a bit more water to mix it and this is what I got:
VERY tasty! I agree with Providence94, tastes like Nutella!
Had several shakes over the weekend, I'm having to hold myself back from having more than two a day

If you search dexamine on youtube it looks like me, you, and rdcopps were the only ones who did them. I just finished my dexamine yesterday so I'm going to be doing my final video in the next few days. I feel like I'm watching an episode of Breaking Bad when I watch your video lol. You look a lot like him.

Yesterday I just had a regular shake again. It was just like the first time, smooth and delicious!
This weekend, I'm going to try some cooking with it. Anyone have any good recipes so I don't totally screw them up?
I'll probably do some more "nutella" proats today

Well, I've eaten mostly CPB proats over the Easter weekend. My birthday was last Thursday, and I had a party at a restaurant on Saturday.
Also had some guests over for dinner. Busy weekend, didn't get to cook with Giant Sports CPB Protein
Here was Friday's workout:
Fire Hydrants:
10 reps (+6 pts)

45 lb x 5 reps (+36 pts)
100 lb x 5 reps (+52 pts)
120 lb x 5 reps (+59 pts)
145 lb x 5 reps (+70 pts)
5/3/1 Full body Easy, feels good to squat three times a week with two of them being light
Standing Barbell Shoulder Press (OHP):
45 lb x 5 reps (+49 pts)
60 lb x 5 reps (+54 pts)
70 lb x 3 reps (+47 pts)
80 lb x 3 reps (+50 pts)
90 lb x 3 reps (+53 pts)
110 lb x 4 reps (+70 pts)
110 lb x 3 reps (+61 pts)
5/3/1 Full body C2, W2, D3 Damn this lift! I was hoping to get 8 reps continuous, but could only get 4, then 3 more after a short rest. Only counting the 4 for my 3+ set.
Snatch Grip Behind the Neck Press:
60 lb x 10 reps (+35 pts)
60 lb x 10 reps (+35 pts)

265 lb x 3 reps (+127 pts)
300 lb x 10 reps (+236 pts)
5/3/1 Full body C2, W2, D3 Felt good. I took small breaks between reps to reset, but nothing more than 5-10 seconds, so I counted the 10 reps as one set I think it qualifies, as I never really walked away from the bar. Alsofirst five sets DOH grip no chalk, 1st rep of 300 DOH with chalk and th

Almost forgot! I mixed my proats with Greek Yogurt on Friday. Thanks for the idea, Brazilian Bad Boy
I mixed 1 cup of old fashioned oats with a regular small tub of Dannon Oikos Greek Yogurt (plain), and 2 scoops of Giant Sports CPB. I added some cold water for consistency, and this is what I ended up with:
It looks almost exactly like the warm proats I made before, but a little lighter in color. The taste was just a little more muted because of the yogurt, with a slight edge of bitterness. Still very good, though. The consistency was much thicker than just plain oats, water and CPB protein.
I MUST try to cook something with this protein very soon!
