I just got those once and a life time deals. Bought some Pronom 23 for 30 bucks each for 4 lbs.2 tubs. One vanilla and one chocolate.

I know the vanilla cake batter is awesome but I also got one chocolate. What can I expect taste wise?
 
I got a few samples of it and didn't like it all. I figured I needed to give it a second chance so I purchased 3 tubs on sale, one chocolate and two vanilla. Vanilla is absolutely disgusting. It has a strong artificial taste...The chocolate is not much better but it's tolerable. It was cheap and its protein, so I'm powering through it...It's really that bad. I was swayed by the reviews saying how great it tasted.
 
Hmm. I had a few tubs a while back and didn't have a problem with it taste wise. Actually, I really liked it. Nothing too sweet, and the mixability was fine.
 
I had a sample of the vanilla. It seemed really salty and reminded me of Long John Silver fish batter.

Yup, WTF. I like CL products, but something was way off
 
Haven't ever had the chance to try it, but thought it was generally regarded as a pretty tasty and quality protein...these reviews are surprising to me :eek:
 
I had a sample of the Chocolate. Cupcake or Cake Batter or something. Was one of the tastiest and best in terms of mixability for a chocolate protein shake I've ever had. Never tried the vanilla.
 
Never got to try the chocolate. Idk I'm kinda a vanilla snob, but the fish batter is what got me. Maybe my tastes buds were off that day. Or maybe someone at work rubbed my shaker all over their LJS.

I have recently been enjoying OxyElite Vanilla Ice Cream flavor. It is one of the best vanillas I have ever had. Makes my eyes and skin a little yellow though. Haha jk on that part obviously.

The only time I really like vanilla protein is when I used ISO-100 and mixed it with strawberry/fruit punch Pure Karbolyn. A delicious tasty treat. But I'm all for chocolate!

Yeah, I'm not sure what the deal is. I'm, without a doubt, sure the guys are telling it like it is, but I remember my tubs being craveworthy good.

I'll put up my review once I have used both a couple times.

I've been mixing the chocolate with maraschino cherries, light cream and some whole milk. Otherwise, its undrinkable. I'd rather eat a bowl of yellow gold powder.

OMG I was a beta tester for yellow gold. They sent me some in what appeared to be a prescription pill bottle. I was furious that they didn't mention how horrible it tasted. I was at work, and dry heaved for 30 mins

I'm having chocolate cupcake batter. Very good flavour and probably the best mixing of all proteins that I've used. The powder is like ON's whey or XF ultra peptide
 
Just got three tubs of Chocolate Cupcake Batter in the mail today. Will report back after I try it tomorrow.
 
I've used 2 tubs of the Vanilla. Mixes great and tastes good with water; has a kind of artificial after taste but still one of my favorite proteins.
 
Here is the real story and why there are such varying opinions. The formula (specifically flavoring ingredients) changed. I love CL and buy all of their stuff. They're one of the few companies I trust. However, the pronom change was for the worse. They switched from sunflower oil to coconut oil and the new flavor tastes no bueno. I'm with t-bone... Got an amazing deal so I am plowing through my 5 tubs. Only reason I bought so many was because the old flavor was AMAZING. unbeknownst to me there was a flavor change. I love vanilla and the new one is a huge difference from the originals. I have a chocolate but haven't opened it. It's hard to mess up chocolate though. Some sites still have the old tubs of the bomb flavored vanilla with sunflower oil. New ones are coconut oil. Hope this helps clarify.

The sample packets were of the new vanilla I believe

they had both. The newer packets are obviously newer formula. I think they probably started it like 2 or 3 months ago with the new flavor... Just speculation though as I had a few of the originals I went through for a while. Let me know how your chocolate tastes :)

That i don't know. Do you know if it had the new or old label? The first sample packets had the gray original CL labels. The new packets look like the new tubs... Mainly white.

OH MY GOD! Thank you.Mainly white! :arms:
 
Also if any CL reps are reading you mite want to spread the word about slight change in flavoring.Also have the sites like np update the profile specifically on the sample packets because it still list it as the old profile.

Ahhh. This makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up. I was beginning to question my tastebuds haha
 
Checked my 3 tubs. All says Sunflower Oil. Sounds like I got the good stuff. Can't wait to crack it open tonight.

Yeah. You got the good ones IMO. I have seen a lot of reviews though and people still love pronom. I'm assuming some of those have to be the new tubs?.......So don't let me shy you away. I personally loves the old flavor though.
