“I have tried the Banana Scream and it is the bomb! The chocolate is really good too. Tried the strawberry, but didn't care too much for it. Haven't tried the Cocoa-Mochaccino yet.”

“The Banana Scream is the BEST! It's not too sweet, and just the right touch of banana. Excellent flavor, and I found it best mixed with only 4 oz of water. I drink 3 of these a day, and I love them! I also use the Vanilla for mixing, not too crazy about plain vanilla, but it's good too. I couldn't stand the chocolate or mocha, but that's just my taste. The strawberry is ok, a little bland, could use more strawberry flavor.”

“Definitely one of the better tasting protein drinks out there. But if you drink it the same way each and every day, you WILL give up on it. So try to add a little variety to flavor it up again. I bought the 5 lbs tub of chocolate. I put a scoop and a half in the blender with 2 1/2 cups skim milk and 3 or 4 ice cubes. Then I had a teaspoon or so of instant coffee and a few shakes of cinnamon. Blend on high until ice is crushed. Tastes like a chocolate-mocha shake!!”

“I posted a negative review a month or so ago regarding the banana flavor, but was mixing with water at the time. I love the flavors now that I'm mixing with 8 oz. of milk. My favorite is the cocoa mochaccino, 2nd is vanilla that I mix with fruit such as banana, strawberries, or blueberries, and 3rd is the banana scream. They do have strawberry flavor, too, and chocolate. www.dpsnutrition is the best price I've found on this. The 5 lb. containers have 71 servings, so at 2 drinks per day it will last you 35 days.”

“I like this so much better than the Designer Whey. This is much thinner which is a plus to me. Also the chocolate tastes like Carnation Instant Breakfast to me. I've not tried any other flavors of it yet. To me, Champion Pure Whey Stack Protein is the best I've had to date. ”

“I used this product pre- and post-op and four months post-op developed a bleeding ulcer that kept me in ICU for four days. My surgeon (Ronnie Keith, D.O.) told me he thought I might be the second patient in his bariatric program to have such a GI problem due to this protein supplement. Other patients take this with no problems whatsoever. Unfortunately, there are as many opinions about the need for protein supplement as there are bariatric programs. My surgeon even disagreed on the amount of supplement needed with his program coordinator, who is also a registered dietician. It's a kooky business out there! Once I came home from the hospital, I threw away all my cans of Pure Whey Protein Stack and never looked back.”

“This is the only protein powder that I have found that I can just add to water, shake, add ice and drink. I occasionally add a squirt or two of flavoring or mix with flavored water like Cherry Fruit 2O for a great chocolate/cherry taste. It has exception flavor (chocolate anyway), mixes easily with NO GRIT whatsoever and tastes just like Nestle's Quik to me. It has allowed me to increase my protein because I like it so much!”
