I have also bought some tubs when it was sold for 10€ at a Dutch store. No problems with the blueberry edition, but watermelon was really clumped up, brownish and even after blending it, it was not really satisfying. I dumped the watermelon afterwards. But I am still not sure what exactly the problem was.
Was the watermellon under or over the EXP date?
Tried it during yesterdays workout and here is some quick thoughts.
- The powder has a strong smell when no mixed, not unpleasant but strong.
- Mixes easy and no grains in the bottle (who cares about grains anyway?)
- A LOT and i mean a LOT of forming. Not uncommon since it contains a lot of leucine.
- Taste was not so much blueberry and not so sweet but a more mellow soft taste. I actually enjoyed it (good to sip on during workouts).
- Color had a brownish, green/yellow look to it (hard to see as I a had a darker shaker and it was foaming on the top (who cares how it look as long as we skip the artificial coloring).
Effekt on a BCAA/EAA product i impossible to judge this quick and it's here is my worries lies since the product came badly clumped up and the powder was brownish and not white (most likely due to moisture reacting to the coloring of the product) = am I drinking colored/tasted water or has the product even though the above remained potent and still delivers what it's suppose to do?
Still under exp date so it should be but how has it been stored to came so "roughed" up. I know that some product are more prone to clumping due to less fillers (anti clumping agents) and other ingredients that a more prone to attract moisture.
