True Protein

[Erik]

Who are the True Protein concoction experts here? I know Mols uses TP.

What do you get? I'd be most concerned with flavouring I'd think.

[SBT]

I used to use it all the time before I started being sponsored by Pro Lab (partially) I used a straight whey and also a custom whey/casein blend. The only flavors I tried though were the banana and vanilla both of which I really liked!

[Amy]

I posted what we ordered in the Jay Robb thread. Kevin loved the banana casein PP. The vanilla is good too. I was told to get the premium flavors. :shrug:

the premium flavor additions contain artificial sweeteners (I noticed you order it with that and then added stevia).

Ingredients: Natural/Artificial Flavor, Natural/Artificial Color, Sucralose (Splenda), and Acesulfame K

I suck. To think I was trying to go without that crap :dry:

Well at least now I know.

[Jen]

we've ordered from TP for a couple years now. Will really likes the tropical blend with stevia

Its really good, the fruit punch one is as well for fruity flavours with stevia

[Petro]

Like I said in the Jay Robb thread...I use the vanilla and love it... My blend is Micellar Casein (45%) Whey Protein Isolate/cold-filtration (50%) and Hydorlyzed Whey Isolate/Ultra Grade (5%) it mixes well, is tasty and I think realy well priced

[Erik]

What's the protein make up you get?

[Mols]

Now I get the Gemma Protein, I prefer the texture and its much cheaper......I used to get the Whey Isoloate Microfiltration or a mixture of hydrolyzed whey protein high grade with whey isolate (75/25) I added BCAAs a few times but stopped now that I have separate BCAAs. For nighttime I have 50/50 Micellar casein/calcium caseinate in Premium orange creamsicle. If you want stevia only, id go with the fruit punch or the chocolate and either double up the stevia on your order or add your own when you make your shake. I

[Lynny]

what is the texture of Gemma protein like...compared with whey isolate?

[Mols]

what is the texture of Gemma protein like...compared with whey isolate?

Gemma is thicker, mixes thicker and is great with just ice and water. Now when i have stright isolate with water it just tastes like water to me lol. Its nummy, especially when making a shake shake like with cottage cheese or fruit. Oh and BTW the reason I tried it in the first place is because its a pea protein, and i have absolutely NO troubles digesting it! That sold me.

[Jen]

What's the protein make up you get?
100% cold filtered whey protein isolate, then pick the PLAIN flavoring + stevia. nothing else.

[Erik]

Plain? :whut:

Do you have taste buds?

[Jen]

Plain? :whut:

Do you have taste buds?
no no no :lol: I mean NOT the Premium flavoring systems with artificial sweeteners. :yucky:

[Mols]

no no no :lol: I mean NOT the Premium flavoring systems with artificial sweeteners. :yucky:

haha yea i was confused when i started ordering from TP too.....plain means no added artificial stuff :)

[Inatic]

anyone have a concoction that would mimic muscle milk light from True protein? In flavor and mix

[Erik]

My order came in today.

I have about 5 different things. That's the one thing I definitely like - I can buy the same protein product, but in 5 different flavours if I want to (1lb increments).

Will report back.

[Blondell]

I got an email saying they have new flavors now.

[jessatthegym]

Does any of this work well mixed in oatmeal or in baking? I'd love to order some but I want to make sure it works with my oatmeal.

The Strawberry isolate i have is really good (this is a Premium flavour)
The Tropical is kinda weak in flavour (just stevia)

Chocolate MPI - bland tasting; expected chalky consistency.

Still have a Vanilla WPC and a Chocolate WPI to try.

Goodness...how in the world do you come up with a custom "formula"? There's so much to decihper. Where do you even begin to figure this out? I do like that you can buy a 1lb. small quantity. If you buy something you can't choke down, you haven't broken the bank. And, the RTD bottles are a nice option. My question is, does any of it taste as good as BSN lean dessert?

Is anyone using the buybulkwhey.com products?

Vanilla (don't know why I bought vanilla) WPC w/ Stevia.

Doesn't taste like much of anything. Probably an easy protein to hide in other things.

[Sohee]

How long did it take everyone's order to arrive? I ordered mine October 19th and it still says "Order has not shipped or there is no tracking info available yet" :scratch: I hope it means the latter. I'm running low on casein.

Mine took a while, but I'm in Canada.

When I ordered mine it took awhile because UPS screwed up and connected my name with my old N.C. address and routed the package there even though all my info. was correct on True Protein site. The same thing happened to Laura.
You may want to call to make sure that info. on site is correct. It ended up taking a lot longer because they had to intercept the package and reroute it. :sad:

[jdmeyer]

Is the Whey Protein Isolate Cold Filtration ok to bake with? Or should I pick a casein blend? I know that some isolate brands don't bake well, and just tend to fall apart.

[Mols]

Vanilla (don't know why I bought vanilla) WPC w/ Stevia.

Doesn't taste like much of anything. Probably an easy protein to hide in other things.

seems all the flavors with just stevia are weak. the premium are the only ones ive ever been satisfied with the taste (go figure cuz theres artificial crap in it) there natural line of flavors is coming out soon

[Inatic]

I found the choc bland as well. Helps when i add the choc stevia drops though. Needs more cocoa me thinks.

Im trying to stay away from the artifical flavors so i might have to suffer with bland :shrug:

[Sohee]

Mine just shipped yesterday. Five days after I placed the order :scratch:

:ditto: to what's already been said about the plain vanilla and chocolate flavors. The vanilla whey didn't taste like much, although since mine had gemma pea protein it was a bit thicker than I've normally been having it, and the chocolate casein was bland. Kind of like cardboard. :dry:

Probably because these are the free flavors (which are not that great). The Premium flavors taste really good, but they have sucralose in them. They are supposed to come up soon with Premium flavors sweetened with Stevia, which I would more than likely choose if I wanted a protein sweetened with Stevia.

[fluteangel]

they just came out with chocolate chip cookie dough this week. Wonder how it stacks up?

[kirstny]

I ordered the Rice Protein in premium chocolate banana and the Gemma Pea in bananas and cream.

Tried the Rice pp in my oatmeal this morning. Yummy flavor, but a bit chalky.

But the best part is it's not bothering my tummy.
:p:love:

[Sohee]

Anyone with the plain flavors-- what have you done to make it more palatable? :help: I'm choking down chalk.

[Petro]

I have plain chocolate and plain vanilla, just plain no stevia added and I think the are good, I'm wondering if you problem has more to do with the protein make up vs the actual flavors

[Cara]

:yeahthat:
I have vanilla with no sweetener and love it (same blend as Laura). I think it's sweet enough on its own. There is a gritty texture to it, but the flavor is good, IMO. :shrug:

I've never tried the gemma protein so I can't speak to that, but mine is a nearly 50-50 casein/whey isolate blend and I think it tastes good. I do have banana and the flavor is weak but I prefer that anyway because it doesn't taste like chemical banana that is too overpowering.

[Sohee]

You're probably right...

WHEY
Gemma Pea Protein Isolate non-GMO 85%
Whey Protein Isolate Cold-Filtration 15%

CASEIN
Calcium Caseinate 40%
Micellar Casein (Instantized) 60%

Neither of them are good. I've tried adding more stevia, mixing it into oatmeal... nothing. Damn. I guess I'll just have to suck it up until Thanksgiving break when I can incorporate them into baked goods to hide the :sick:

[Fit_Steph04]

Does anyone get aminogen with their protein? Is it useful or a good idea to add it to protein powder?

And I bought the Kiwi Strawberry and Tropical natural flavour packs and I find they don't really taste like much... I've been mixing my gemma pea protein with fruit juices instead (I know, bad!!!) but I can't stomach it with anything else...

[bfire]

The Strawberry isolate i have is really good (this is a Premium flavour)
The Tropical is kinda weak in flavour (just stevia)

Chocolate MPI - bland tasting; expected chalky consistency.

Still have a Vanilla WPC and a Chocolate WPI to try.

Hey Erik, You happy with their protein? I am considering placing an order in a few days. Was going to go with their isolate.

[Erik]

Yes - but the plain stevia is well ... plain.

I ordered one with their premium flavouring just to compare (a strawberry) and thought it was excellent.

I have a chocolate MPI with Stevia that I mix with the Choc Mint Dymatize I have left over and I don't mind that.

[Sohee]

I've been trying to figure out how to get down this protein without gagging and finally just decided to order the flavor packs. SAVED! Now my pp is yummy :yum:

yea molly all premium flavors have aspartame or splenda i forget which one, its not natural just an FYI. but i get them cuz theere so nummy :lol: chocolate banana and dutch chocolate fudge rock my tastebuds

[Sohee]

Bumping this.

I ordered two batches last night-- casein and whey.
They've got new flavors out... or at least I think they're new. I checked out the TrueProtein forum to see what flavors were good and ended up going with French Vanilla (had this last time, very very good), Coconut Cream, Dutch Chocolate Fudge (got the best review), and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup. All Premium.

I ordered these separately from the protein powders themselves. Last time I had these, I added them to my coffee as well and the French Vanilla especially added an incredible flavor without calories. Good replacement for milk IMO.

I'd imagine they'd be good with things like protein pancakes and egg whites as well.

I'll report back here after I try them all out.

[mcv]

Tell me all about the choco pb cup when you try it. That sounds tasty!

Ingredients: Flavor and natural Stevia.

BUT I am not sure how good these taste.

[Sohee]

Molly, here's what I found on the TrueProtein forum in the Flavor Review section:


the peanut butter cup flavor is definitely there, and you can discern the chocolate in the background. i was very excited for this one.

the overall flavor is very close to that of a reeses or the peanut butter Flintstones cereal.

tad bit of aftertaste but its probably the wpc.

the color is odd though. sort of like hot cocao and you add too much milk, only way i can describe it. but i'd rather not pay for extra coloring.

easily the best tasting chocolate/peanut butter flavor ive ever had.

easy 4/5

[mcv]

Molly, here's what I found on the TrueProtein forum in the Flavor Review section:

I must order this RIGHT AWAY!

[Inatic]

sohee, do you have flavor drops? How would you say the flavoring compares to say the choc/or pb type?

[Sohee]

sohee, do you have flavor drops? How would you say the flavoring compares to say the choc/or pb type?

I do :lol: I have about a dozen different Capella flavor drops.

IMO I prefer the TrueProtein flavor packs. The flavor is much, much more potent. Capella's butterfinger, graham cracker, snicker doodle, vanilla hazelnut, etc. all of which I have... in all honestly, it's hard for me to taste the difference between them :shrug: Once I finish off this set of flavor drops I have -- which won't be for a while, given that they last so darn long :lol: -- I probably won't buy them again. I was so much more pleased with the True Protein flavor packs that I had last time.

[Sohee]

French Vanilla Cream :thumb:
Coconut Cream :yum:
Double Dutch Chocolate :drool:

I have yet to try the last flavor, chocolate peanut butter cup. But I bet it will be GOOOOD.

[Sohee]

They now have protein-rich broth :wth:

ugh..of course I like sweet stuff! But I guess if you arent too much into things sweet, these might be ok. Trouble with most protein is, you cant heat it up, or it denatures, so kinda takes the goodness away of drinking a broth imo.

No I know...but the texture makes me sick..and it thickens it up when it denatures into like curdles...that is the problem, doesnt taste the same either.

[Sohee]

:confused:

There are sooo many flavors you can choose from, and I can assure you that they are NOT not sweet-- ie. they are sweet :lol:

Yes, but...


Sure heat denatures protein, but so what? And yes, as you said, all proteins, not just protein supplements are denatured with heat.

However, even with the unwinding of the protein's structure, the constituent amino acids are still the constituent amino acids - regardless.

[Sohee]

No I know...but the texture makes me sick..and it thickens it up when it denatures into like curdles...that is the problem, doesnt taste the same either.

That depends on the blend you choose.

[Inatic]

No I know...but the texture makes me sick..and it thickens it up when it denatures into like curdles...that is the problem, doesnt taste the same either.

I have cooked with protein powders and not always experienced the 'curdling' effect. Depends on the powder/brand.

[TriciaE]

A few pages back someone asked how you figure out how to make a custom blend? Any suggestions?
I looked at the website and it's a bit overwhelming when you are trying to decide how much of this or that to put into your blend.

[Inatic]

what are you looking for?

Just whey or a whey casein blend OR just casein?

[jaleena]

Scar, I tried two of the soups today (onion and chicken)...I like them made with MUCH more water than called for, and a little salt added, but they work well. Slight after-taste, moreso with the chicken...I'm expecting that I won't notice it with the beef, given they're all beef-based and that was probably a conflict with the chicken flavor.
Now I LOVE sweet sweets, never found a normal shake to be too sweet...but sometimes something besides dessert is nice. Particularly looks normal at work, and also when it's not the blasting hot summer it'll be a good warm-up. Also with the volume, it's pretty filling...normally a shake for me is satiating but not filling. And since you put it in hot water, it doesn't take a bunch of shaking to mix, just a little stirring and sit, stir again and re-heat to suit...not that shaking is actually hard, but I've been known to become really lazy about food when dieting at times.

[Lynny]

Like I said in the Jay Robb thread...I use the vanilla and love it... My blend is Micellar Casein (45%) Whey Protein Isolate/cold-filtration (50%) and Hydorlyzed Whey Isolate/Ultra Grade (5%) it mixes well, is tasty and I think realy well priced

Question--- if one gets a blend with around 50% casein, and 50% Whey, is it still good to use POST workout? Or is that something better to be eaten at bedtime because of the casein?

[TriciaE]

Ok, here is what I ordered (below) and I have to say that I can't gag either one of them down! It's like I ordered a 1lb container of stevia! :sick:
I could suck it up and drink it if I ordered a flavor that I didn't like, but just ONE drink of this stuff and I can't get the bitter/metallic taste out of my mouth. Don't get me wrong I like things sweet, but this isn't even sweet in my opinion - it's just gross.

I'm thinking of calling them to let them know how upset I am. Do you think they'll let me return this stuff?

Ok, I am confused.

I've been getting the chocolate and vanilla unsweetened. So what is the difference if you order the unsweetened flavored with stevia or the NATURAL flavor? Isn't the natural flavored with stevia? :uhuh: And why are they charging $1 more per pound for the natural flavors? :unsure:

The regular choclate and vanilla are completely unsweetened...unless you mark you want stevia added in the sweetener category. The premium natural is flavored with stevia and are suppose to be a better quality flavor. I use the premium natural...and think they are good, slightly better than the normal vanilla chocolate unsweetened, but not life changingly so

Thanks Laura :kiss:

I get the chocolate vanilla unsweetened flavored with stevia and I think it's good. I do add some of my chocolate stevia powder to the chocolate to make it more "chocolately." I think I'll stick with what I've been ordering.

[TriciaE]

Where do you get chocolate stevia powder? From True Protein?

One thing I will say is that when I called to talk to them before I ordered they were very helpful.

[Inatic]

i got a couple of the flavor packets and I dont find they are very flavorful. I was expecting the taste to really be enhanced :scratch:

I believe Cathie is using Stevita choc powdered which she likely gets from Iherb?

:D

how do you compare the stevita liquid to the powder in taste?

I think the powder tastes much better. I've only tried a couple of flavors, but I actually don't care for the liquids :yucky:

it is flavoring talk though :D

what other powder flavors do you use in say protein powders?

I even put the chocolate stevia in my vanilla pp. The vanilla pp seems to have a little different texture than the chocolate.

After my first batch of custom mix I ordered and just about :puke:, I decided that I could no longer trust myself to make my own mix. I now go with the pre-made solutions :lol:

Cathie, i LOVE chocolate too.. hense why it's hard to find something very chocolatey.

I just ordered the flavor packs of:

premium chocolate - to make my pp even more chocolatey :yum:

natural banana - since I don't get fruit in M1 and I miss my banana flavored oatmeal loaf :mecry:

premium bananas & cream - in case I don't the the natural banana or vice versa and I'm a lil nervous the banana flavor might be a little chemical tasting


I will report back :D

[Inatic]

i hope you like the flavor packets.. I didnt care for them in that i felt they didnt add much flavor at all, not that they tasted bad.

errr... I know there was one or two more.

I hardly noticed a difference in the taste other than the orange.

[Anca]

Not sure if I've posted my review somewhere in this (long) thread so here it goes again: I got the natural, Stevia-sweetened True Protein flavors (not actual PP- just the flavoring that you could add to PP, CC, coffee, pancakes etc- basically anything you want to sweeten&flavor at the same time).
I got the Chocolate, Banana and Vanilla. I like them all much better than I like Stevia (which I've tried in the NOW and Sweetleaf brands- incl. the French Vanilla Stevia and the flavored drops). You can still taste a little bitterness but it doesn't ruin the food you put it in; you can actually taste the choc, or banana, or vanilla flavor. :thumb: A little goes a looong way- I use 1/4 tsp or less.

:yeahthat: Depending on what flavors you get (ex. not cookie dough but dutch chocolate fudge), the flavor is SUPER strong.

sohee, which are the strongest flavors? I found them weak. Im not sure if i had dutch choc.. but none of the ones i used added much flavor and i used up to a heaping tb.

A heaping tablespoon! :eek: :faint:

The most I've used for a cup of coffee is about 1/2 tsp. and even then that was a little much.

The premium banana flavors and the premium chocolate flavors I've found to be extremely strong.

It's been months since I've ordered from TP. But my last order was 50% wpi, 25% casein, and 25% egg protein. Flavorless. Then I just bought the flavor packs. Worked out fine.

the problem is likely im not using the premimum (avoiding the artifical swtner) so i think it's the natural, like the PP that weak.

They have premium natural flavors. Not sure what the ingredients are (maybe you can email them) but if they say they're natural they shouldn't contain aspartame. I've got the Premium Natural Chocolate and it's good :thumb:

:) thanks sohee!

Will check again


I think this is neat, the now have a pick 5 flavor pack to try PP.

Ok, here is my review on the flavor packs

Premium chocolate - I don't like it so much. It tastes a little off to me. I much, much prefer my chocolate stevia powder :yum:

Natural Banana - it was ok. I added some of the flavor to my chocolate protein powder. I still need to try adding it to my oatmeal loaf, but I have a bunch of loaves already made sitting in the freezer so that will have to wait.

Premium Bananas n' Cream - this is really strong compared to the natural flavor. I actually tossed the first batch because I added wayyyy too much :yucky: Again, just ok for me.


So basically they were just so-so and I didn't love them.

Ok so I'm going to order the sample pack (even though shipping is $10.49- almost twice as much as the pack! :ban:). As a final review, which 5 flavors would be the best? Sohee? Cathie? :popcorn:
And again- this is protein powder not just flavorings, correct?

[Cathie]

I've only tried the chocolate, vanilla and banana protein powders. I thought the chocolate and vanilla were good. I just would like the chocolate to be a bit more chocolately, that's why I add some chocolate stevia power.

The flavor packs I tried were just meh to me. But, I still haven't tried the banana flavoring in my oatmeal loaf yet because I still have some made loaves already in the freezer that I'm finishing up first and I haven't felt like griding anymore oatmeal yet :lol:

[Inatic]

I think Sohee is the one to ask. they were just eh, to me too.

Natural premium flavors? Regular? Premium?

[Sohee]

OK, I'm going to go ahead and assume that you mean Natural Premium flavors, since those are the only sample packs I can find.

I would get:
Chocolate
Vanilla
Banana
Chocolate Banana
Strawberry Banana

No hesitation. Orange? :sick: That just sounds gross. I have strawberries n' cream and it's just okay but tastes like pepto if you put even a little too much, so I wouldn't recommend the strawberry.
