I am expecting samples to arrive from ATW in the next day or two. Upon receipt, I will log my review of each flavor. My goal is to give you a straight up review including specifics and comparisons with regard to taste.

I will give honest but respectful feedback. If I don't like something I will tell you. No sugar coating. If I do like something, well, you will know about that also.

I have high expectations and I am very excited to try both the Isolate and the Blend. I already view ATW as a first class company with first class service and look forward to experiencing their products!

Awesome Man what are you going to mix it with? If I sent any fruit flavors I recommend 6 oz of liquid so you will have stronger flavor.

I drink about two shakes a day.

My preworkout shake is with water.
My post-workout shake is with oats and skim milk.
On non-workout days my diet usually calls for one shake made with just water.

I never really drink a shake with just milk and protein but I might try it for the purposes of evaluating your product :)

P.S. MY SAMPLES HAVE ARRIVED! I just checked the usps website with my tracking number. My pre-workout shake will be with ATW, can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Got my samples! Thank you ATW!

Thank you so much Marcus and ATW! I look forward to trying the samples you sent me and reviewing on this thread!

My reviews will go like this:

1. I will assign an overal rating of 1-10
2. I will describe my thoughts.
3. I will make comparisons to other brands of protein and other flavors of ATW.

I will not hold back!

One last thing, I am the pickiest of the picky when it comes to taste. Although I choose my supplements based solely on quality and effectiveness, I do have taste buds, and I will tell you what I think. I already know based on the ingredients that this is a very high quality and effective protein supplement.

If you all have any additional questions besides what I offer, let me know.

I received the following flavors:

1. Cinnamon Bun Blend
2. Strawberry Blend
3. Chocolate Mint Blend
4. Banana Blend
5. Vanilla Blend
6. Orange Blend
7. Chocolate Blend
8. Orange Isolate
9. Chocolate Isolate
10.Banana Isolate

My main interest is in the isolates, but although there are not a lot of those I have plenty of blends to choose from to help in deciding on a favorate flavor.

I will start reviewing now.
 
Flavor: Orange Blend

Overall Thoughts: Well, I was in such a haste when I got home from the gym that I didn't actually put the right flavor in the blender. I MEANT to put Cinnamon Bun, but instead I put Orange. I mixed it with 3/4 cups of oats, 10 oz skim milk, and 1 ice cube. The flavor was weak as expected. Why? Because Marcus told me ahead of time that on the fruit flavors to mix them with only 6-8 oz of fluid for increased flavor. Obviously I didn't do that on accident. I ended up having about 12 oz of liquid plus the oats. The flavor that I could taste was good. However, I will have a more accurate review on taste when I get to my orange isolate!

Rating: Please see my review on the orange isolate for rating.

Flavor: Banana Isolate(mixed with 8oz skim milk)

Review: Mixed with 8 oz of milk. I didn't have my shaker cup so I had to do it bartender style by putting a smaller cup inside a bigger one. The mixing didn't go well as I couldn't shake real hard without the cup slipping and there were quite a few chunks of protein left. I attribute the chunks to my poor job mixing, not the protein itself.

Taste: The taste was pretty good. On a scale of 1-10 I give it an 8. It had a nice banana flavor but it wasn't as if I was drinking a banana cream milk shake from sonic. I could taste a hint of the protein, but it was nothing that kept me from enjoying my shake. This tastes a heck of a lot better that ON Vanilla Ice Cream whey.

Okay, I will be trying two more flavors today. For my preworkout I will be trying Vanilla so I will have a direct comparison with my ON Vanilla. Post-work out I will be trying CINNAMON BUN!!! :D

I look forward to posting my review!

It depends some flavors do not go well with milk all that well. I guess its just personal preference.

I correct my post Marcus, you actually told me to use 6-8oz of LIQUID, not water. So milk or water would work. And the flavor was good on the orange, it just was not very potent because of all the other stuff I was mixing it in with.
 
I think ATW gives the shake a nice consistency. It has a little substance/thickness which is enjoyable. Just something I noticed...
 
Flavor: Vanilla Blend (with water)

Review: Okay, I guess I'm just not a vanilla guy. Or maybe I should have mixed it with milk or something. I currently use ON Vanilla and don't like it. Tried ATW Vanilla pre-workout and wasn't crazy about it. I was indifferent. If you are a fan of Vanilla then you might take a better liking to this. It seemed that I could tasted the protein a bit more than in the prior flavors I tried. The shake did go down smooth and I had a nice workout. On the 1-10 scale I give it a 7 because although I wasn't crazy about the flavor it was still smooth and clean. I give my ON Vanilla Ice Cream whey a 4 on the 1-10 scale for comparisons sake.
 
Flavor: Cinnamon Bun Blend
Review: I like this a lot! I mixed it with my oats and milk post workout and I thought it was the best tasting protein I've ever had! I think it would be pretty tasty to throw in some extra cinnamon to really spice it up a bit. On a scale of 1-10 this gets a 10! Awesome job ATW!
 
Flavor: Chocolate Isolate (mixed with 12oz skim milk)
Review: This was awesome! Definitely the best chocolate whey protein product I've ever tried!!! Tastes pretty much like chocolate milk! This gets a 10 out of 10!!! I can't wait to try the Chocolate Mint now!
 
Flavors: Chocolate Blend and Chocolate Mint Blend
Review: I liked both of these but especially the Chocolate Mint Blend! I tried to Chocolate in water and it was pretty good, 9.5. I tried the Chocolate Mint in Milk and it gets a 10! I have had some nasty chocolate proteins in the past but ATW is the first ever chocolate protein that I can actually ENJOY and not have to choke down.
 
Flavor: Orange Isolate
Review: I mixed it with 8oz of water. The flavor was pleasant but very light. I like my flavor a bit stronger. Again though, it went down smooth. I give this an 8 out of 10.
 
Flavor: Strawberry Blend mixed with 8oz milk.
Review: This was the best strawberry protein I've ever had. I use to hate and I mean HATE strawberry protein. ATW just changed that for me. I would never buy strawberry because I prefer other flavors more, but if you like strawberry I don't see how you could possibly pass up ATW. I give this 9 out of 10!
 
Conclusion of Review:

Overall thoughts: I REALLY like ATW compared to all other proteins I have tried in the past. If you are looking for something that tastes like a milk shake from Dairy Queen then go to Dairy Queen, because you won't find it at ATW. But if you want one of the best tasting, highest quality, and best priced proteins around, then hop on over to Invalid Link Removed and place an order, I highly doubt you'll be disappointed.

Pros: Great flavor, great variety of flavor, very high quality, very good prices, AWESOME customer service (aka Marcus).

Cons: Somtime the protein did not mix as well as I would have liked leaving a few little clumps behind. I found this to be more prevelant on the blends than the isolates. I think that is about it.

Overall rating of ATW: 10 out of 10!

P.S. What is my first ATW order gonna be? I'm gonna get me some Cinnamon Bun Isolate!
 
Nice reviews man. Can you compare ATW's protein to other companies products i.e. ON, Champion, XF?
