^So funny how much taste buds vary, the geographical difference can be a pretty big factor in palate as well. You and another couple EU folk I’ve seen now saying the cheesecake taste was prominent.

In any case brother, I’m glad you’re enjoying it!

I definitely can agree with that. I know when I visited Germany multiple times just their takes on certain treats and dishes was quite different than those I was used to. So it would definitely say their tastes on treats like cheesecake could very well be different. I still feel the strawberry cheese cake hint is most certainly there though.
 
Certain areas just do things slightly differently and call it the same thing, like when a some US people come here and say our Iced Tea isn’t Iced Tea.

And how companies selling globally often change formula to suit the area, like Coca Cola. I have had a Coke in Canada/US, Mexico, Ireland, and Italy and they were all entirely different. From carbonation amount to sweetness to taste.

On our tour of the Guinness factory they told us even alcohol amount varies in some countries.

Anyways this was a fun tangent on taste buds lol.

I made a few Isomalto protein bars with SC, a drop of cream cheese emulsion, and graham crumb crushed in... if you happen to have those around, must try

Coke in Mexico is made with cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup

Already 2 chocolates from us I would doubt another would be up next, but yeah I can see us doing that well if it happened. Would be like FCC, but with chocolate frosting instead of vanilla, and dull the sweetness to “darken” the chocolate taste slightly.

Designing flavours must be a stressful job but also an exciting one. I envision it being fun, but I’m betting the difficulty of work to design low carb flavour profiles is high.

We here as fans do put a little bit of pressure on them too. Just a little...

Kinda what I’m thinking. It’s great as a strawberry. Just doesn’t have that bold cheesecake flavor I’m used to down here. But a lot of the folks across the pond love the cheesecake flavor.
 
And now we all wonder,

What flavour should/could happen with freeze dried blueberries...
 
I've enjoyed the Strawberry...don't really notice the cheese cake. Like somebody said before, tastes more like strawberries and cream. The only bad thing was I got ripped by Canadian customs, so I don't know if I will be doing the Insider again.
 
from my regional taste buds in NY, it doesn't taste like any cheesecake I have ever tried. Good strawberry flavor, but a complete miss as a cheesecake.
 
Customs into Canada can suck. Sometimes I dodge the fees by sheer luck, or if it’s a big enough order I go to my PO box for it so I pay the US shipping rate

I only ordered 2, but I dinged for 31 dollars Canadian. Usually I order through US postal when I order from the States, and I don't get charged. Of course I don't usually place big orders. However I used the FedEx option this time....I knew I was going to get charged but didn't expect it to be that high.

Wow that sucks! We get screwed for shipping charges and customs is so annoying

That's like living here in New Zealand, shipping during insider deals is always higher than the cost of the actual product - unless we're lucky enough to get a fixed rate.

Tell me about it, LOL. I hate it and always miss out because I just can't justify $20USD on shipping alone.

In saying that, buying 4 tubs of High Volume and Prolific during their insider deals has still been cheaper than purchasing locally, even with shipping, so it ain't all bad!
 
Sometime those of us in the US forget how good we have it!!

tell me about it.... here in UK, I had to give up, basically now I wait until the stores here receive the goodies and than shop otherwise every single time I get fu*ked from customs....

As a Canadian citizen you were able to set up a PO box in the states or am I understanding this wrong? Thought I heard you speak on this before.

New scoop shop opening in cleveland in 1 month. You should come! Ill have coupons for free scoops!

I've lived in the Toledo area 11 years now and have still yet to make it over to Cleveland. Not that I don't have a desire to as they have really done a lot to spruce up that city but just don't make it easy often at all. Usually only make it as far as Sandusky for some amusement park with the family.

For what it is worth, the range of products we have available in Australia and New Zealand is growing. Alphamine, Amino IV and Prolific were our first products there and now we also have High Volume, TruZMA and Select protein (landing soon).

Bringing more and more products into the region, one by one. :)

Yessir I have a PO box in Port Huron, MI

Essentially gives me a US mailing address, packages of any size get held for me there for a flat $5 so if you also Amazon shop it can save a lot come Christmas time, and gives me access to .com exclusives

I’ve been sleeping on Prolific and High Volume, need to break down and order some.

Brother get you some! Definitely top notch. I took just a 2 month break from high volume and I'll say it feels damn good to be back!
 
I guess next insider I will be buying some high volume !!
 
In to say the strawberry cheese cake flavor is better than both C&C, and PB cookie. Though I maybe biased for the cheese cake. Pieces of strawberry and you can even taste cheesecake crust. It’s bomb.

I've been hooked bro. Hadn't used protein powder in my oats since the drop of P4O's but now Strawberry Cheesecake is all I use for both shakes and oats. :)
 
How about a straight Cheese Cake Protein, you could mix it with Peanut Butter Cookie, Snicker doodle and have many choices of Flavored Cheese Cake oats or shakes ..???
 
Carrot Cake or Pumpkin Pie would be great to see from us, those flavours are made by the spices accenting them and pack Cinnamon/Nutmeg, love it.

I find these flavours need extra tub shaking between scoops but very much worth it.

Or if we wanted to do similar but stand out or be unique... maybe a cardamom-cinnamon dessert. Streusel, spice cake, here I go daydreaming again.

Strawberry Cheesecake has really grown on me but Snickerdoodle still remains the GOAT Proats flavor from PES :P

Have to seriously agree, got a sample of snickerdoodle when buying the others and I was amazed. The only thing you tasted was cinnamon and sugar, def gonna be getting a tub of that.

I'd be down for a coffee cake type flavor. Carrot cake isn't an everyday one for me. It's something your grandmother makes for a holiday and then you get sick of it after a week.

It’s by far the best tasting protein powder I’ve ever tried mixing in oats man. Nice thick texture, goes with any fruit for mix-ins, and also tastes reallllly good in protein ice cream when the macro’s are low lol
