Rivalus Rival 100% Whey Protein Isolate Powder - Premium Strawberry Flavor, 80oz | High Protein, Low Carb, BCAAs | USA Made, No Banned Substances | Ideal for Post-Workout Recovery, Muscle Building & Weight Management

I have tried many, many protein powders over the last ten year, and I would say that this isn't all that memorable. Flavor-wise it is decent - not too sweet and doesn't have the protein bitterness you sometimes get. Consistency for one scoop in 20oz - 2.5x the recommended mix - is very thin, but I found the recommended 8oz too thick. Since I mix with fiber anyway, I need more water in the shake anyway. Gastrointestinally, no problems, I took one scoop a day, six days a week, often accompanied by creatine and some fiber and had no trouble at all. It is the kind of powder you can't leave out after mixing for more than 15m or so - you have to either fridge it or drink it, or it begins to pick up an odor.Value in protein per dollar is good enough. I'm plateaued at 183 and stayed there while using this, but I'm not trying to build mass, just maintain it. Probably need more than one scoop to make a significant advance in that regard.So, if you are looking to try a new protein powder, you can try this one. I went with the soft-serve vanilla - a generally don't go for the more exotic flavors with these things, since I have them at night - and it was quite satisfying. Maybe try a different flavor to mix it up a bit.This product taste pretty close to other products that cost twice the price. It mixes well in cold water with a standard shaker. I use it for my post workout and as a late night snack fill in. With Indiana tax it runs me about $1.10 per 6 ounce serving. Worth a try at the least.Good price, good flavor, and good results.Meaning it taste fake sugar and fluff compared to bsn, dymatize, pure protein. Still better then muscle milk!i like the chocolate flavor of this brand, and it has great quality in the ingredients. it is helping me add quality protein to my dietGot the cinnamon toast crunch flavor and it's absolutely delicious. I mix it with oatmeal and even make pancakes with it and tastes great. The only thing for me is that it only comes about 60% full. I'm going to continue to buy it because it's hard to find a good tasting vanilla cinnamon flavor. I tried a bunch and they all sick. This one and final boss cinnamon swirl are my favorites, but final boss is $39 for a 2lb tub + they charge you like $5 for shipping making the price be around $44-45 + it comes about half full.I bought the marshmallow cereal flavour. I don't really get any "cereal" but it's definitely a true vanilla marshmallow flavour without any weird aftertaste. I've used in it oatmeal, smoothies and even made protein crepes with it and it worked out very well for all three. Mixes well, tastes good, doesn't upset my stomach or have a weird aftertaste and I like the ratios so I plan on trying another flavour next month!Since I do see several people leaving one star ratings because they didn't read the listing and are blaming the product and I don't find that kind of review all that helpfu, I'll clarify - this is only 1lb (14 servings) - it's not a giant tub. Not sure why this is so difficult but I guess not everyone grew up learning to pay attention and compare product size and serving info...I drink this with water but it’s even better with milk! I love the flavor and good macros! Win-win!!Powder is adulterated. Contents of pack found fake duplicate. Very very disappointedHave had dozens of different proteins and flavours. This is the best I’ve ever hadI mix it with just water and it tastes great.The product was well over 2 months expired. Very disappointedGreat taste. Mixture 5/10. I use muscletech after workout and rival whey as a meal replacement during the day
