iForce is getting ready to ship out the brand new and highly anticipated Red Velvet Cake and Vanilla Mint Swirl Protean, however we don't think NutraPlanet quite understands how much demand there is for both of these flavors.

[SIZE=+2]iForce Red Velvet Cake Protean[/SIZE]
Thanks a ton to Vaughn for letting me be one of the first people to try this flavor out. Its not out yet and hoping it will be soon. For all those in attendance.. take notes
I have a video review for this post, but I will be doing a traditional review. The sound in the video for some reason doesnt start until 49 sec. in.. but its the audio from the beginning of the video. So skip to 49 sec. and thats the audio from the beginning of the video

[SIZE=+2] Written review [/SIZE]
Im not doing /10 ratings, more and more im beginning to find them redundant and furthermore this is a protein product/
Profile - This is pretty simple..4g of fat, 6.5 grams carbs and 20g protein. Fat content is average a little higher for saturated but no care. Carbs are normal as well being under the new myofusion probiotic and a bit over trutein. No complaints. Protein is 20g which is a bit low but again not a big deal. I like the profile.
Appearance If you decided not to watch the video or couldnt get a good idea based off of it. It looks like what the batter of the cake would look like. Its a maroonish color and looks appetizing for sure.
Texture - The texture with protean is awesome. Its not too think where its almost airy and filled with thickening agents which can in my opinion take away a bit from the taste. And its also not watery thin like some other products. Its not as thick as myofusion; however, its thicker than combat powder. This was, for me, a perfect texture, like I said not too thick and definitely not thin. Great balance.
Taste - Lets be honest this is what you are all here to see.. what does this stuff taste like?? Well before I get into the flavor itself Ill say that this stuff once you open the lid has a great aroma (mirin' vocab brah?) seriously though if you were making a red velvet cake and were mixing up the batter this is what it would smell like. Also they sweetened this stuff pretty much perfectly. Its not a ton of sweetener that drowns the flavor but its not lacking where it takes away from the potential of the flavor. It keeps you wanting MOAR AND MOAR after every sip. If you could imagine a red velvet cake in liquid form.. then you got this. Its awesome. All the elements of a good RVC are in this shake. The chocolate part, the signature red velvet taste, and like I said the sweetness is on which gives you the icing flavor. You cant simplify this like you do trutein CR or XF CR.. TNS is more the dough, and XF is the icing. This stuff is both. Amazing
[SIZE=+2]Overall[/SIZE] iForce took on a challenge that no other company has yet to do. Make a protein tasting like a red velvet cake. I believe they definitely succeeded. I personally love red velvet. I had 2 big cakes for my Grad party last summer and one of them.. the one I ate a ton of was the red velvet one. To recap this stuff has perfect texture not too thick, not too thin. The taste hit every aspect and the sweetness wasnt over powering or lacking. It looks great smells great and overall is definitely my new favorite protein. I am looking forward to its release. Anyone who were to have any doubts about the product.. don't. Its fantastic. So thanks again VaughnTrue and iForce for letting me be one of the first to geive this stuff a try, you guys nailed it!
THE RVC KING REVIEWS
MIXABILITY:I always use 4oz of water per scoop of Protean. Protean's mixability is one of the best out there. Never a single clump after 5 shakes. 10/10
SMELL:There is a hint of what red velvet cake smells like. Hard to explain but who cares. It smells good and taste is what matters more. 10/10
TEXTURE:Not too thick but not too thin. Goes down perfectly. 10/10
TASTE:Oh my god. This is the BEST protein flavor on earth. It will be very hard to beat. Very unique considering there are usually only 3 flavors to choose from when it comes to protein(vanilla-chocolate-strawberry). It tastes EXACTLY like a melted -image below- which is the closest thing to red velvet cake that isn't cake. 100/10
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
MIXABILITY:Like I said above, no problems here. 10/10
SMELL:Sweet mint creamy smell. What you should expect from it. I'm addicted to mint so I love this. 10/10
TEXTURE:Again, just like the red velvet. No problems. 10/10
TASTE:Recently I've tried a McDonald's Shamrock Shake -image below- and I wasn't thrilled about it at first honestly but it became something that I would crave for. Mint+vanilla is just different..in a good way. Protean Vanilla Mint Swirl tastes EXACTLY like McDonald's Shamrock Shake. Though I do notice a rubbery(?) aftertaste on all of iForces' Protean's vanilla flavors. I'm the only one who has this problem though. And again, it's not the plain ol' chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry so I like it. But since I'm not the biggest fan like I am for red velvet, I give it a 8/10
And for the record...
THIS IS AN HONEST AND NON-SHILL REVIEW

[SIZE=+4]Red Velvet Cake and Vanilla Mint
Protean![/SIZE]
I was expecting a package from BB.com today, but much to my surprise, there was also an envelope addressed to me from iForce. I opened it up, and found the following:
SAMPLES OF EVERY FLAVOR! Thanks guys! This was completely unexpected, and awfully generous.
[SIZE=+2]First Impression: Smell[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Vanilla Mint[/SIZE]
This powder smells just like a shamrock shake. They weren't kidding. The aroma is brilliant, and had my mouth watering from the start. You get the smell of the vanilla right off the bat, and the mint flavor kicks in right after. It's not a very sharp mint smell, but more subtle and smooth. Its really appealing to me.
[SIZE=+1]Red Velvet[/SIZE]
True to the name and classic flavor, you smell the cheesecake frosting first and foremost. The chocolate is there as well, but the cheesecake smell definitely is the most prominent scent as a first impression.
[SIZE=+2]Mixability[/SIZE]
Like in my previous review of the Vanilla Cupcake flavor, the mixability of Protean was great. I used the suggested 4 oz of water this time around instead of 6, and the mix was just as good.
Loaded both samples into their shakers, took 4 big shakes, and the Protean was perfectly dissolved into the water. No extra shakes needed.
(Vanilla Mint pre-shake)
(Red Velvet pre-shake)]
I poured both out into small cups to show clearly what they look like:
The shakes had a great consistency. Not too thick, not too thin, and neither flavor foamed up very much at all.
[SIZE=+2]Taste[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Vanilla Mint[/SIZE]
This flavor is a perfect 10/10 for me. I wouldn't change a single thing about it. The vanilla flavor is great, nice and smooth, and the mint is strong without being overpowering. It's a really smooth flavor in general, and there is no hint of chemical aftertaste or any other negatives you get with other mint-flavored proteins. I'd recommend this flavor to anyone, and I'm not just blowing smoke. It's great.
[SIZE=+1]Red Velvet[/SIZE]
I'm not even sure how to describe the flavor, it's so unique. The chocolate and cheesecake mix together so well, but there's a hint of something else to make it JUST a little bit different. Its amazing. The smell of the cheesecake hits you from the beginning, then you get the flavor from the chocolate cake, followed up by the flavor of the cheesecake frosting.
There's no other protein like it on the market right now, and I'm really happy the guys at iForce decided to produce it.
[SIZE=+2]Closing Thoughts [/SIZE]
If you like Red Velvet Cake and Shamrock Shakes, dont even think twice about getting this protein. Dont even bother trying to get samples. Order a tub or two the second it becomes available to the public, and dont hesitate because it's going to sell out quickly. I know I'll be getting multiple tubs of these two flavors specifically.
I want to say thanks again to the guys from iForce for allowing me to try these flavors. They were outstanding.
I cant say enough about how good these flavors were, so I'll let my empty cups do the talking for me.
