Banana Isolate review

Banned
Brand new customer here. I've been drinking NitroTech vanilla for a while now. I know it's expensive stuff but until recently it was the only whey protein I found that I could tolerate the taste of.


I say until recently because I just got my first 2 pound tub of Banana Isolate yesterday from All-The-Whey.


A lot of people have said it mixes easily. So I put it to the ultimate test: 1 scoop, in a glass, a few ounces of water, stir with a spoon. No clumps, just a little grit on the side of the glass. Heck, even when I shake my Nitrotech I've got a clump or two stuck to the bottom. So it passed the mixing test with flying colors, better than any other Whey I've seen.

Then for the flavor test. I bought banana because I have yet to find a banana flavored product I don't like. I figured it'd be the safest bet. It was. I can't say that the stuff tastes good because it honestly doesn't have much of any flavor at all. But the consistancy was somewhat thin and watery so it went down supereasy. Overall verdict: you have yourselves a new repeat customer. I'll be ordering a 10 pounder immediately. I start bulking on Sunday, so I'll try it with some added sugar then. I'll post in here how that tastes.

Btw, I'd just like to say to All-The-Whey, thanks for having these prices. NitroTech was burning a hole in my wallet!

Hi,

We chose quality over taste. To get it to taste better, carbs and/or fat have to be added.

Take Care
 
Do you have any recommendations on what I should add to enhance flavor? I would like to pick something that preferably can be put in a shaker bottle and mixed with water.

Also, I would prefer not to add too much fat because that can slow digestion. High GI carbs are a definite good thing though.

The only way to add flavor is to add flavor, but I don't think you mean that. A lot use dextrose and malto.

As far as mixability, I would assume the added ingredient has to be able to dissolve.
 
I like tha banana and orange just as it is. Not too strong in taste and mixes great.
 
I wonder.... perhaps the orange + orange kool aid would be good for PWO. Kool Aid is loaded with tons of high GI carbs. Of course, I'd have to put my creatine in a seperate container since the Kool Aid contains acid, but nonetheless it might just work.
 
honestly the less water you use the better it is.

When i do 8oz per 1 scoop, mine ends up being watery also, but when i do 8oz water for 2 scoops of whey, it tastes pretty good.
 
It's possible to dissolve 2 scoops in 8 ounces of water? Holy crap. I gotta try that.


Oh, I almost forgot to mention. I mixed a scoop in with my oatmeal this morning: DELICIOUS! It really was like eating banana flavored outmeal. Very nice indeed!

No foam at all.. ;)

I use banana in my PWO shakes with either Ultra Fuel powder, or Creatine Nitrate Fuel.. Damn good mix.. :thumbsup:
 
Bump what JB said. The less water, the better the taste. I've also added ground flax seeds to mine before bed. Tastes kinda like banana nut bread.
 
Oh my LORD. I just tried 2 scoops with 8 ounces of milk. I added a little sugar and voila. Possibly one of the best tasting banana milkshakes I've ever had. It tasted AWSOME. So I had another lol.

A friend of mine who can't stand Whey protein at all (he's tried about 7 different brands), took a taste and said about the same thing I did: "holy sh*t! this actually tastes good"

The bad news is, with how good it tastes, I don't think it's going to last very long. Plus the additional 10 pounds I ordered probably won't last long either.
 
I have mixed a half scoop banana and a half scoop chocolate and it was great.
 
Im a new customer on all the whey. I just got my 10 lbs of atw banana, and mmmmMMM taste great. Two thumbs up at atw. Nice price, nice taste, mix easily, fast shipping ( I live in canada and it took about 4 days I think).

You're doing a great job :)
