COOKIES & CREAM REAL GAINS REVIEW
Invalid Link Removed
First off I want to thank Universal and Hoomgar for letting me try this product. I would also like to apologize for the delay in my review -- life got a little hectic this past month. I have only tried a few "weight gainers" and was really excited to try this product. I love C&C if executed properly -- and I have not found a company yet to do so (that I personally enjoyed). This one takes the cake. I am going to go from start to finish on what you can expect when using C&C Real Gains.
TUB: 5/5
First thing you notice is, "Damn this is a big tub!" as with most weight gainers. No shortage of product in this thing. Packaging is sick as with any Animal product and I feel badass just looking at it. Lid confused the **** out of me at first but once I figured out how to remove the little piece I got it open (Ya, I'm that smart).
AROMA: 5/5
You pop open the lid (eventually) and the first thing that hits you is this EXCELLENT smell of Cookies & Cream. It smells identical to C&C ice cream and fills the whole room. This alone made me excited to taste it.
MIXABILITY: 4/5
I tried with both milk and water and it seemed to mix the same in both, if not a tiny bit harder in milk. I just used my shaker. I would basically shake the **** out of it for a couple minutes. The product would kind of get stuck in the "webbing" of the shaker and some on the sides as it is quite thick. There would be a few chunks within the liquid (not the delicious chocolate) but nothing drastic. Overall, as far as a weight gainer goes -- which normally do not mix that well in just a shaker -- this was excellent. I don't mind a little chunk if it tastes this good.
TASTE: 5/5
Did you read what I said about the smell? Well, apply that to the taste. The stuff is delicious. I felt guilty drinking it as if I was having a milkshake. I liked it better in milk as it gave me a more thick taste (like a milkshake) but water was not bad at all. Plus, I can use the extra cals. They really nailed the flavor of cookies & cream. The little chunks of chocolate in the mix were awesome. Albeit I usually got them all at the end (but no complaining there). I did not expect the flavor profile to match the smell of the product at all -- but it really followed through.
TEXTURE: 5/5
Texture was perfect. Like I said before, it was like a light milkshake when mixed with milk. Definitely not a "thick" formula and went down great.
FILL/BLOAT:
An often overlooked aspect of weight gainers until you drink one is the incredible fill they give. This was not bad at all. I was definitely not usually hungry after a shake but it did not make me uncomfortable. I contribute this a lot to the flavor as a nasty weight gainer makes you feel sick afterwards. I felt great!

I can't really comment on weight gained as I don't usually track that closely and my diet varied so much in this timeframe from being so busy. I can guarantee that when I get a little extra cash I am going to buy the 6 pounds of this product. I am sold on the flavor alone, let alone the incredible ingredient profile. At $38.95 current on AM, this is a sick deal for double the size sent to us testers. Honestly, if you are looking for something to help with a bulk that tastes goods and delivers -- this is it. Universal delivers again in my book.
If you don't believe me, just look how jacked that chic got from just setting it on her ass.
