This is the second time I have purchased this protein and I think it is a fantastic protein for the price. I have tried both the Swiss chocolate and the French vanilla and they are excellent flavors. This protein (both chocolate and vanilla) mixes up thicker in water/milk (compared to optimum nutrition) which I do prefer. The profile is very competitive with other brands and has quality ingredients that one would hope for in a protein. For around 35-40$ (depending on where you shop) you can pick up a 5lb tub that has roughly 62 servings @ 140calories and 21g protein. This protein works perfectly for baking and other food related dishes and the vanilla is awesome to put in a fruit smoothie. Elite Gourmet has no added sugars or aspartame which I prefer not to have. All in all I will continue to buy this protein and I am completely satisfied!

In a continuation of Dymatize's apparent quest to create the most number of product names that are a combination of the words "Elite" and "Gourmet" yet refer to different products, the company has just released the "Elite Gourmet" series of protein - essentially the exact same as the 12-Hour, 21 g of protein, 1-2 g fat, 6 g carbs, extended release.

This is great because it can be used any time of the day, and the price is unbeatable. In addition, the consistency has been changed so it is dramatically less "chalky." Mixability has been improved.

My only complaint is that the Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor has NO chocolate taste whatsoever. The label notes it tastes like Peanut Butter ice cream, and that's pretty accurate. Somewhat peanutty, with a creaminess - so more similar to vanilla PB than Chocolate PB. To be honest, I was expecting something similar to UP 2.0 (I know, I can dream), and this is NOT that.

The Cookies and Cream flavor, though, is very tasty. This is a flavor that is tough to nail done, but Dymatize did very well, both cream and cookie are present, sort of like if Double-Stuf Oreos were crumbled into a powder (sort of being key here).

A thought on the consistency - I was wondering why Dymatize would bother releasing a whole new line instead of just adding these to the 12-hour, but I think they actually changed the formula so there is less casein. The consistency is nowhere near as thick or clumpy as the 12-hour, so this could be little more than whey, although this is obviously just speculation.

Value for money		If you don't mind eating powder, then it is really good priced.
Value for money		$40 for 5 lbs, and you can still use come back 10% off or birthday 10%, which is really cheap


Taste		These are their best flavors IMHO.
Value for money		Overall I'm happy with this protein, especially for the price of a 5 lb.

Texture		Excellent taste, dilutes well and is great in recipes and smoothies too!
Taste		Excellent taste, dilutes well and is great in recipes and smoothies too!


Texture		A lot thicker once mixed than other powders
Taste		The protein doesn't mix as well as other popular protein powders in shaker bottles, taste isn't anything special


Value for money		For this price its obviously not gonna be 100 percent whey isolate.
Value for money		This is a mixed protein blend with whey protein concentrate as the top ingredient for those that do not know this is the cheapest form protein. Their is casein protein in this mix,
Value for money		but if you are looking to add some slow digesting casein protein drink milk or shell out the money for one.


Ingredient profile		Blends great, good digestion, and less ingredients than other protein powders.


Taste		The taste of it was very likable.
Value for money		And was cheaper than others by a good amount, 5-10 dollars less!

Diarrhea	The shake doesn't need a lot of water which was helpful because if your taking a pre and a post it could be like 50 ounces of water and supps your drinking while working out which makes running to the bathroom a habit if you drink too much while working out.


Texture		So far I am very impressed with the taste and texture.
Taste		So far I am very impressed with the taste and texture.
Taste		5 pounds of a quality protein that taste good for 40.00 is a no brainier to me.


Taste		The taste of Cookies & Cream is BY FAR the BEST tasting protein shake I have ever had and I have had a **** TON of varieties and brands.


Texture		The taste is just "off" and it's rather chalky as compared to other Dymatize lines and/or other products.

Taste		Nice flavours and Cookies and Cream tastes like a smarties mcflurry...
Value for money		For the price this is a fantastic protein blend.
Value for money		At this price, and without any shady techniques like nitrogen spiking, it is a very solid product.
