Still nothing from the contest.
Chocolate tastes really good! Only one down side I see and that's the fact it has Aspertame in it.

Aspartame is perfectly fine...

Aspartame is made up of
aspartic acid - an amino acid
phenylalanine - an amino acid
with an ester bond on it
"To examine whether ingestion of aspartame is associated with headaches, we conducted a double-blind crossover study using volunteers with self-identified headaches after using aspartame. Of the 32 subjects randomized to receive aspartame (approximately 30 mg/kg/d) and placebo in a two-treatment, four-period crossover design, 18 completed the full protocol, seven completed part of the protocol before withdrawing due to adverse effects, three withdrew for other reasons, two were lost to follow-up, one was withdrawn due to noncompliance, and one withdrew and gave no reason. Each experimental period was 7 days long. Subjects reported headaches on 33% of the days during aspartame treatment, compared with 24% on placebo treatment (p = 0.04). Subjects who were "very sure" prior to the study that aspartame triggered some of their headaches reported larger treatment differences (aspartame = 0.37 headache-days, placebo = 0.18 headache-days; p < 0.001) than subjects who were "somewhat sure" (aspartame = 0.29 headache-days, placebo = 0.22 headache-days; p = 0.51) or "not sure" (aspartame = 0.33 headache-days, placebo = 0.39 headache-days; p = 0.51). There was no significant treatment difference in the length or intensity of headaches or in the occurrence of side effects associated with the headaches. This experiment provides evidence that, among individuals with self-reported headaches after ingestion of aspartame, a subset of this group report more headaches when tested under controlled conditions. It appears that some people are particularly susceptible to headaches caused by aspartame and may want to limit their consumption."

USP Labs would not put something that has not been researched into their products, not to mention they want to make the most superior product on the market. They have a reasoning behind everything they do.
I realize this^^, however, it's more of a personal preference for me. I just don't care for artificial sweeteners. Very difficult to avoid them all together as pretty much every company uses them!
Good luck, only whey you can use is a natural that ON makes.
Every company makes them because well in moderation everything is fine, artificial sweeterns are perfectly fine, its not like our entire diet and food selections are based off of it. Then again A supplement is just that. it SUPPLEMENTS our diet and training and our diet coming from MOSTLY whole foods since Whey protein alone is highly processed.
I got my IC order yesterday, thanks USPLabs! I havent tried the protein yet but I have the vanilla sample with me today at work. I did however try the thermopowder this morning, 1.5 scoops and all I can say is holy crap. Felt it kick in on my drive to work and I am definitely warmer than I usually am in my office right now.
This stuff tastes amazing! Just had my first scoop and actually wanted to make another shake right after. Nice work on the flavoring. (milk chocolate)
Vanilla is whey better than choc, just sayin...choc is very tasty, don't get me wrong but that vanilla ice cream (esp with a scoop of strawberry whey) is awwwwwesome...

I though there are no hidden amino fillers in this product? You mentioned two amino acids.
You quoted my response on asparatame bro.. what are you talking about?
The vanilla is good, but almost too sweet. The chocolate is spot on
Good luck with this one! Hahaha![]()
My office had Mr Softee come here because it's so hot. I opted for my Vanilla Ice Cream OxyElite Protein. IMHO, it's spot on for a custardy, soft serve vanilla flavor. Looking forward to trying the chocolate.
Some studies have found a connection between aspartame consumption and the development of brain tumors. When aspartame breaks down it produces DKP. As your stomach digests DKP, it produces a chemical that induces the growth of brain tumors.
the studies that showed cancerogenous and other negative effects used amounts of aspartame which would require you to drink a whole truck full of it! It is not probable that you would be getting this much exposure in. Yes, aspartame can be considered an excitotoxin but unless you are injecting it directly into your blood stream, it is highly unlikely it will make it to your bloodstream via oral consumption. Aspartame is rapidly broken down in the gut into its component amino acids, which is mostly phenylalanine and aspartic acid as pointed out above, and are then metabolized. So in vivo (taken orally) aspartame is not a excitotoxic and unless you are a rat you shouldn't have anything to worry about
I haven't made protein ice cream, should definitely try it though. I popped open my chocolate flavored tub tonight. Flavor was great! I have always liked a thicker protein shake and you guys have it perfect. If the price is right I know what protein I'll be picking up from now on.That's great man. Have you ever made protein ice cream? I'll be making some tonight with the Vanilla Ice Cream flavor. Should be fantastic!

Breezy with the recipe skills!I just made a batch and highly recommend it. Glad you liked the Milk Chocolate man! I prefer a thicker shake as well and don't think the consistency could be any better. Thanks again for your support!Here's my ice cream. The blend was awesome for creating a rich and creamy texture. I usually add Greek yogurt to help with the creaminess, but it wasn't needed at all.Invalid Link Removed2 scoops Vanilla Ice Cream OxyELITE Protein™2 Quest Cravings PB Cups2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk

Just sayin!
Wow just had a scoop of the vanilla. One word "delicious" good job UspLabs
I seriously can't stop drinking this stuff! Can't wait to try the ice cream recipes!
I have plans of holding you hostage in my kitchen...
Breezy with the recipe skills!
Just tried that vanilla sample that came with it. Really nice flavor. Reminds me of vanilla icing on a cake. Still like choco a bit better but definitely nailed it guys.
Maybe its time for some vanilla pancakes with a Chocolate Drizzle on top?
Anyone?
