My communication with ATW got off to a rocky start, with no response for a few weeks, but I'm slowly being won over. I had a few questions before ordering, and after no response, ended up ordering anyway. Asked for a few samples with the order. Everything arrived quickly with the samples as requested. Marcus got back to me after my order, and all was well - email got lost or something... who knows. Anyway, Friday I got a package from ATW with about 19 samples! Thanks!
Reviews of those tried so far:
WPI Unflavored:
My wife wanted this to mix with OJ. She has tried numerous companies, flavors, sources, etc. without success. Anything with a flavor left a "bad taste in her mouth" even in juice. We picked up some NOW Unflavored WPI while waiting to hear back from ATW. It was OK, but mixability in cold juice was not great, and changed the taste of the OJ a bit, but was better than anything up to this point. Once we got the ATW unflavored, she has been VERY happy! Mixes better with less taste than NOW Unflavored (which contains soy lecithin).
Seems to work well in soup as well!
MPI Chocolate:
Typical mixing issues for this type, but I found the flavor to be mild and not as sweet as most chocolates I've had. Will probably try a tub of this in Choc Mint.
WPB Chocolate:
Mixes well in shaker (water). I let sit a minute or so and it was very smooth. Nice flavor, not overly sweet. I usually mix with milk, but was decent with water.
Lean & Fit Strawberry:
Does not mix well with a spoon. Used handheld portable mixer and this worked well. Quite thick (from added fiber and non-dairy creamer which is in this mix) with water. Not a big fan of strawberry, but it was better than expected. No "chemical-like" aftertaste I've had with strawberry in the past (been quite a few years)...
WPI Orange:
Very nice flavor with milk. Pretty good in OJ, but wife did not like it.
WPI Pineapple:
Mixed with milk, a banana, ground oats and some coconut oil. Tropical delight! Made for a nice a.m. shake. Not sure I'd want it all the time, but was a nice change.
WPB Cinnabun:
Better than I expected! I've added cinnamin to vanilla before
and expected something similar, but you can taste the frosting as well. A bit too sweet for my wife (made her want other sweets...)
That's about it so far.
Thanks for the samples - this will help decide my next order!
