Dymatize ISO 100 Whey Protein Powder with 25g of Hydrolyzed 100% Whey Isolate, Gluten Free, Fast Digesting, Birthday Cake, 1.6 Pound

This protein powder is one of the best tasting protein powders I’ve ever had. I really like to take the protein powders and turn them into another flavor by adding some powdered Jell-O mix or extracts. One of my go to flavors is using this mix, adding a little bit of butter extract and some sprinkles and then it’s cake batter. Awesome way to substitute and still get the healthy calories you need.

NEW 5 STAR REVIEW (FRUITY PEBBLES FLAVOR): Despite my original experience with ISO 100, I saw the Fruity Pebbles flavor and the actual endorsement from Post, and just had to try it. A lot of folks think taste shouldn’t matter when it comes to protein powders (I once did too), but now that there ARE actually quality proteins that are also good-tasting (like this one!), there’s no reason to settle for one you have to choke down... This one is an actual treat! It took a couple tries to get the ingredients and ratio down, but when I did, I was shocked at how reminiscent of the cereal it actually is. I first tried it with Silk cashew/almond/pea protein “milk,” and that was ok but not much to talk about. But when I tried it with water, WOW! It may be partially because I’ve always preferred skim milk, but the flavor was a total blast from the past. I took it a step further by adding a splash of my go-to sweetener (Torani Pure sugar free vanilla syrup) and now it’s hard to stop at one serving!! I’ll definitely be giving other flavors a try now. So glad I gave this a second chance!! Apart from flavor and a strong nutritional profile, there’s no weird aftertaste and no stomach upset. Truly a wonderful supplement.ORIGINAL 3 STAR REVIEW (CAKE FLAVOR): I tried the bday cake flavor of this and it is absolutely terrible tasting! But, that being said, I don’t buy supplements expecting them to taste like a dessert—I know they are likely to be rough, but this flavor was REALLY rough to drink on it’s own; HOWEVER, when mixed with liquid chai tea mix (the kind you get prepare in a carton at the grocery store), it actually tastes pretty good. The issue there is that you have to add a very sugary substance to the product to make it tolerable. Despite the taste, the ingredients are quality and the protein/fat ratio is really good (thus the 3 stars) so there’s no doubt it’s a strong supplement, but if you dread drinking it, that can only take you so far.

I've never had protein powder before. I'm lactose intolerant, so I did some shopping around because I read somewhere that lactose intolerant people can have issues with protein powders. I haven't had any problems after drinking this brand, but again, I haven't tried any other protein powders, so I'm not sure how they would affect me. The chocolate peanut butter flavor is really good, but the first time I tried it I put one scoop in 6oz of water (which is the recommended amount), and it was too strong for me - left an odd taste in my mouth and I wasn't sure if I could drink the rest. Next time I tried one scoop in 12oz and it was much better in my opinion, it didn't give me the same weird after taste. I've also tried it with my morning coffee, not as good as I was hoping, but it might be because of the flavor. I'll be trying it with almond milk next, which I'm expecting will be really good. Overall, I'm happy! I usually skip breakfast at work, but lately have been having trouble making it to lunch on some days (my job can definitely be more labor-intensive on certain days than others). I'm hoping this will help with that and keep me energized and not want to eat the entire restaurant when I go to lunch.Update: Ok... Unsweetened vanilla almond milk is the way to go! So delicious!!

Flavors that I’ve tried:Fruity Pebbles - Amazing. Tastes exactly like Fruity Pebbles, about 98% accurate, especially with Oatmilk/Almond Milk. 4.7 out of 5 stars because I get tired of drinking this flavor very fast for some reason. Still good with water.Gourmet Chocolate - Very delicious, reminds me more of Hot Chocolate instead of Chocolate Milk. Never got tired of this. It’s really great with Water even better with Oatmilk/Almond Milk. This is my 2nd favorite after Choc Peanut Butter. 5 out of 5 starsChocolate Peanut Butter - This flavor is so damn great and has become my favorite. It reminds me of the Girl Scout Cookies “Peanut Butter Patties.” So tasty. Never get tired of it. It’s a nice balance leaning more towards Peanut Butter flavor. Probably 60/40 ratio. 5 out of 5 starsCocoa Pebbles - This is my least favorite and was very disappointing. Doesn’t taste anything like Cocoa pebbles. Doesn’t really taste like it has its own identity. It kind of just has a bland chocolate flavor but it’s not nasty. I’d give this a 2.5 out of 5 stars. Don’t recommend it.Fudge Brownie - Doesn’t taste anything like a Fudge Brownie. Also tastes a little too sweet. Throat feels dry after drinking it. This is probably the worst one I’ve had. 1.5 out of 5 stars.
