Advantages: Good price, mixes quite well.

Disadvantages: Odd smell from the tub, not the best tasting.

Well I must admit I bought this protein purely based on the shiny tub. It was the first protein powder I ever purchased and it seemed a fairly good choice.

The powder mixes really reall and gives about 20g of protein per serving. A 5lb tub will give you 90 servings. For some reason the scoop it comes with is tiny and only scoops out a half serving. But I'm not going to rate this protein on the scoop it comes with.

The taste is acceptable (I had chocolate mint) and the texture is pretty good when used in a shaker. The product says it mixes easily with a spoon, but don't be fooled. Trying this results in a pretty horrible gloopy mess and a spoon clumped with powder. Use a shaker for this.

For some reason there is a horrible smell from the unmixed powder. It really is quite bad, and makes you not want to drink it. The smell seems to go away when its mixed. but its quite unpleasant to open the tub and smell what you are about to drink.

As for gains, I'm sure it helped me put on some mass and was the first protein shake I took. It wasn't good enough for me to buy again, but it wasn't bad enough that I never wanted to try protein shakes again.

Summary: Decent protein powder, won't go wrong with it really.
