Since Syntrax put out some serious money distributing samples through NP and likely other stores...it actually paid off by getting me to buy a 5 lb bag of orange flavored Matrix 5.0.
I have been using Muscle Milk as my standard MRP and as most of you know the fat and overall calories in this product can be a bit much. Like a lot of people though, I was addicted to the flavors. lol
Lowering my fat intake, as well as needing a cheaper source of protein are my main motivations for switching. What will really clinch the deal is if I can digest Matrix as well as MM.
This post is for the initial impression. I'll comment on digestibility after a week or so.
Mixability: Excellent. Mixes into a foamy brew in one cup of skim milk. No clumps at all.
Taste: This is always subjective..but I say it's excellent. Not as sweet as MM which, IMO, is a plus. The Orange Cream flavored Matrix is not as sweet nor as rich as MM's and so far I like this fact. MM's taste is so sweet that it often gives me more of an appetite which leads to cheating sometimes.
Packaging is a little weak as the bag has a very thin zip-lock that does not appear to be very durable...but this is a very minor issue to me.
More to follow.
