NUTRABOLICS HYDROPURE
COOKIES & CREAM
I was a lucky winner in the bi-weekly Nutrabolics giveaway here on the forums. I had never used a product from this brand and decided to go with the Hydropure.
I am currently in the middle of a winter cut, counting macros Mon-Sat, so hitting my daily Protein numbers is quite important. I usually eat lots of meat and some dairy, so I get sufficient Protein from food, but I do like to get at least 2 scoops of some type of protein powder in the form of a shake every day, just for variety.
After I was picked as a winner, the ordering process was swift and quite efficient. I was sent a link which allowed me to complete the order myself by providing my personal information and the product choice. The package arrived four days later.
Here are some thoughts on Hydropure after having used it for about a week…
The TASTE was very good when mixed with milk in a blender. I first tried 1 scoop with the suggested amount of water, mixed in a shaker cup, and did not like it very much. I then reduced the water amount by 2oz and still was not too crazy about the taste. The flavor was faint and a bit moldy, and the texture was too watery. I also mixed this in a Nutribullet, using 2 scoops + 14oz water + 1 ice cube. I did like that mixture, but the taste and texture were still not entirely enjoyable. Mixed with milk though, the shake tasted good. My favorite mixture was 2 scoops + 12oz skim milk + 2 ice cubes, mixed in a NutriBullet. That tasted incredibly good! I think I will have the rest of the tub in that manner. I just wish this tasted a bit better with plain water, for those days when I am in a hurry and have to take my shake on the go.
The PROFILE is very good, especially if you are on a cut like I am right now. At only 117 calories per scoop, you get 26g of Protein (52%) and if you like to watch your Carbs and Sugar numbers like I do, you’ll like to see only 2g of Carbs and 0g of Sugars. This is also Lactose and Gluten free, if you care for that sort of thing. I am fine with both Lactose and Gluten, but one of our daughters is lactose intolerant, so I am glad I’ll be able to share this with her. I am liking this profile very much.
The MIXABILITY is good. The powder mixed well every time, whether I used a shaker cup or my NutriBullet. No mixability issues whatsoever.
My OVERALL opinion of this product is good. I wasn’t too crazy about the taste/texture when using plain water, but I did like it a lot mixed with milk in a NutriBullet. The profile is very good IMO and the price is decent at about $1.50 per scoop. I rated this at 9/10 in the store simply because of the taste/texture issue when using water. I realize this issue may be unique to this particular flavor, and maybe other flavors in the lineup would taste better with plain water. I would say that 75% of the time, I have my shake mixed with water in a shaker cup, and have it on the go, so it is important to me that it tastes good like that. Overall, I would say Good Job Nutrabolics!
