I have used muscle milk several times throughout my bodybuilding career and have come to realize it is a solid protein, but it is generally a protein that is used more for meal replacement as opposed to post workout nutrition. One serving of muscle milk (around 25g protein) usually will also include about 15g of carbs, and a pretty high amount of fat. Post workout and fats typically is not the route one would want to go when trying to build muscle. Fats only slow down the digestion of protein and post workout time is the most important time to get the protein to your muscles as fast as possible. As far as taste goes, you really can't beat muscle milk. Cytosport has the taste down (try graham cracker or cake batter). It is literally like drinking ice cream for most flavors. great product to add extra calories before bed!!!

(Admin: This is for the Nutritional Shake RTD variety.)

Banana Creme

I was really surprised when I found this at my grocery store, rather than a supplement shop, so I had to pick it up. With around 200 calories, it's not exactly an MRP, but it does pack in 25g of protein - Caseinite, WPI and whey, so it's a nice blend. It also has MCTs and just 12g carbs, only 3g sugar. It also has 20 vitamins and minerals, which make it better than most sugar alcohol-filled bars. Oh, and the taste - Muscle Milk at its finest. Delicious, creamy, and hard to believe it's not full of sugar. Not too great of a deal money-wise, but it's good in a pinch, especially if you're low-carbing it.

Muscle Milk is perhaps the most well-known supplement in the industry, and its popularity is probably due in large part to its taste. With a ridiculous number of flavors, you'd be hard-pressed to not find something satisfying. Some complain that MM has a lot of fat, but most of it comes from MCTs, which are more likely to be used as energy than stored, so no worries there. The nice thing about MM is that it has multiple protein sources with different rates of digestion, as well as ZERO lactose. Awesome. MM mixes very well and produces thick shakes, which I love.

Flavors I've tried so far are Cookies and Cream and Cake Batter. The Cookies and Cream has a great taste, nice rich vanilla milkshake flavor with cookie pieces, kind of like a crushed-up Oreo taste overall.

The Cake Batter is a bit bland, not much flavor, similar to Angel Food Cake but not very strong. It's pleasant but I would not purchase it again.

The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough is pretty good - not quite a cookie dough taste but not as horrible as other brands' attempts at the flavor. It's distinct from the Cookies n Cream, which is nice, though it doesn't quite nail that classic, raw eggs and butter taste.

The biggest (and maybe only) downside to MM is the cost- 16 servings will run close to $30, which may not be a big deal to you, but I'd rather not pay $2 per serving of a powder, for that price you could pick up an RTD.

MuscleMilk by Cytosport is usually known for its great taste and good ingredients. The Cake Batter flavor might be the best flavor created by the people at Cytosport. The ingredient profile includes milk protein isolates, whey protein concentrate, and whey peptides that helps your muscles get the nourishment they need before and after workouts. It is easy to mix in a blender. I mixed two scoops with 10 fl. oz. of water in a blender shaking it for 30 seconds. There was no clumping. Soon, I will look forward to mixing it in milk which means it was taste even better. This stuff is amazing. It can get pretty addictive, so I suggest you limit yourself because you might destroy the whole container in a matter of days. If you have some few extra bucks to spend, I would recommend this product.

Everyone who works out consistently should use some type of protein shake. My protein of choice is Muscle Milk because not only is it a good source of protein but it also provides me with a good amount of vitamins, fats, and carbs to refuel me and keep me in an anabolic state. Usually I take it pre-bed so that the slow-digesting proteins can last throughout the night and keep me anti-catabolic. It is also good when used postworkout to keep my body active. I have gained great size and great weight with this while keep my bodyfat very low. The pricing is quite annoying but a product like this is always essential. Lastly, the carbs in this product do not turn directly to fat and store away but burn off after using the product to ensure low bodyfat gains.

Im a big fan of Muscle milk when im bulking, when cutting i would recommend take a look at Muscle Milk light. Cytosport made it well with this product, its highlight definitely.

Muscle milk its more like a meal replacement than just protein, you can use it at morning, at night, as meal replacement or as POST, like many ( but i suggest Whey for this scenario ).

In terms of taste, all feedback is right, i tried a lot of flavors and there is no one that i can't take it yet, all taste so damn good and you never get used to them. I can recommend you PB Chocolate, Chocolate malt, Caramel swirl, Vanilla, Cinnamon bun, Cookies and cream and Chocolate mint, a lot of flavors but when you taste them, its like being in heaven, lol!.

The ingredient profile its very decent, some claims that it needs to up the protein content but i think at 32g its an equal amount that wont be wasted like many protein blends containing up to 60g of protein. At 300+ healthy cals ( without milk ) you can't go wrong with this one for either, bulking or cutting ( depending on your macros ).

The price its decent, it worth it and many users agree on that, you wont be disappointed of trying it, i suggest you give it a try to ANY flavor. Plus it keeps you full for a while.

Cytosport's Muscle Milk is the real deal with protein powders. I always order a tub of Muscle Milk with every purchase I make for the sheer taste, value, and protein combination within this product. Muscle Milk's protein blends are a great combination of whey and casein allowing both fast and slow absorption of high quality protein.

Taste wise, hands down Muscle Milk is dominating the other brands. Their new flavor of cake batter is amazing. All their blends also mix very easily with solid consistency. With either milk or water, Muscle Milk always blends easily. This product is very effective for successful delivery of protein and maintaining lean muscle. A+ product for a very good value.

Muscle milk has always been a formula that worked well for practically everyone. Its matrix of proteins from milk and whey is proven to work well for muscle gain. It is also versatile enough to be taken either in the day or at night; as a meal replacement or bulking tool. For example, I mix it in milk pre-bed for sustained protein release. They have actually reformulated the product and now it contains less fat and has added fiber; both plusses. It is also great that it tastes so good. Almost every flavor that I have had have been positive. My favorite would be creme brulee and chocolate-caramel. The powder also mixes quite easily - no blender required. I use a fork/spoon and it works just fine in milk or water. I rarely take it as-is though; I use it to mix with a denser protein powder to improve their overall taste and texture. I feel that I get the best of both worlds that way.

I had the pleasure a while back to be able to purchase Muscle Milk by Cytosport. Let's take a look at it.

Ingredients: The ingredients in this profile are something new that Cytosport claims to have revolutionized. EvoPro mimics human protein and helps stimulate new growth. Lean Lipids promote fat loss and keep your body lean. Top-notch ingredients. One servings contains 32 grams of creatine and 12 grams of fat with most in the form of MCT which burn fat easier.

Taste/Mixing: I had the pleasure to taste Strawberry Banana for 30 servings. It was great in soy milk and regular 2% milk. I kept wanting to drink more. It certainly gets a 10 out of 10. It also mixes easy.

Best to Take It: The best time to take this for me is when I wake up in the morning before I have to go class and when I am going to sleep. As a college student, you get those mid-morning hunger paints and Muscle Milks does a good job of getting rid of them.

I recommend you not buy it off their site because its like 48 dollars for 32 servings which is high. If you have money to spend and want to enjoy a great tasting protein shake, Muscle Milk is for you. Lean Lipids do keep you lean indeed.

In my earlier days of protein supplementation, I'd always heard about how delicious Muscle Milk was, but the price scared me away. Did it live up to its claims? Read on...

Taste - I've tried nine or ten flavors in total. Of these, three really stood out to me: Chocolate Caramel Pecan, Chocolate Peanut Butter, and Rootbeer Float. It's hard to believe something that's supposedly good for you can taste so great. Chocolate Caramel Pecan and Chocolate Peanut Butter both tasted amazing in milk. Mixed together and with ice it was like having a wildly unhealthy shake. Rootbeer Float also tastes absolutely amazing with water, and the package mentioned mixing it with some sort of carbonated water or something which sounded like it had a great deal of potential. This is definitely the best tasting casein protein I've ever tried, and quite possibly the best period.

Ease of Mixing - It really varies from flavor to flavor, but it's really pretty decent overall. It's actually a blessing compared to ON 100% Casein.

Value - This would get a lower score, but milk prices and consequently cottage cheese prices have raised so much that this stuff is much more appealing. This is a great pre-bed formula and is cheaper than many other casein based blends. When using only one scoop mixed with milk, the value is much greater.

Other - The newer Muscle Milk contains less fat than the old stuff, so it may be more suitable for cutting. I've only tried the old stuff, and I wasn't too worried about the fat content.

Overall, this stuff is fantastic! Unlike it's Complete Whey brethren, this tastes heavenly. I plan on buying it again, and I'd recommend it to anybody out there.

I have used an entire big tub of muscle milk. I would say it's an okay product , theres better stuff out there though. I got decent muscle gains for like the first 2 weeks or so and after that, it didn't really help much, i think the reason i got gains in the beginning is because of the creatine which is in it, and all that does is basically add extra hydration do the muscles (kinda like having more water in them to give somewhat of an appearance of bigger muscles. I think Muscle Milk is just okay, it taste great, it mixes fairly easily . but here are both better creatine and protein products out there. If you Want creatine get Gaspari Nutrition's SIZE ON ,if you want protein go with Optimum 100 % Gold Standard Whey, those are both superior products and have giving me better results . Don't go with this poop.

Efficient and gets the job done! This product is a complete whey protein product. I will break it down for you to explain a little bit better of what I think of it.
Taste: The taste is unlike any other whey protein product that I have tried. I have tried both chocolate and chocolate mint and both flavors delivered and kept me coming back for more.
Mixability: If you mix it with a spoon their are little chunks floating around so I would recommend either using a blender or a shaker so that wouldn't be a problem.
Texture: The texture of this product is really thick, I would suggest mixing this product with water instead of milk because I find that with the water the texture of the muscle milk is much less thick.
Safety:Really safe product noticed nothing out of the ordinary.
Muscle gain/strength/recovery- really great product for all these areas, the recovery is the best aspect of muscle milk and it enables your muscles to grow much quicker.
Go out and buy muscle milk overall 4.5/5 product.

Muscle milk by ctytosport is such a great product. I picked mine up at the local vitamin shoppe because I was curious of how great it was. This product is much more then a regular whey protein product. I am no scientist but this product incorporates much more then any other protein product. When I take this product and get my 32g of protein and bcaas I notice that it blows the competition away. I never recovered so quickly from a protein product. Another good part about this product is that it incorporates calories and some fat for those people who are looking to gain weight. If you are looking to lose weight then I suggest a regular protein product otherwise this one is the best bet. The taste is also really excellent and it mixes slightly well. The only negative part about this product is that it is kind of expensive for 16 servings. If you aren't on a budget though then definatley go for this product.

Muscle Milk is definitely one of the best tasting supplements I have tried in a long time! The chocolate flavor is amazing and I would drink it like a milkshake! I use it before and after workouts for full effect. Some people may say it is too high in fat, but 35 grams of protein per serving definitely is worth the fat in it! It is great for repairing muscle after working out if you hate having the sore feeling when you wake up in the morning. I suggest that you take 2 scoops of this mixed with about 8-12 fluid ounces of water and mix in a blender for full results and no annoying protein chunks. You may also mix with milk, but I recommend water because in my opinion, it is at least 100 times better! I would suggest you go out and buy this product now if you want some fast great results while working out!

This product is really great. I bought the chocolate flavored Muscle Milk and I have to say it tastes really good compared to other protein products. Also Muscle Milk is much more then just a regular protein, they put extra stuff in there that help you gain lean mass and help you recover quicker. While on Muscle Milk I notice that I recover much quicker and it helps me gain more mass quicker than if I wasnt using Muscle Milk. If you are on a budget I suggest you get a regular protein but If you arent this protein product is a great choice for you.

Suggested use:
I suggest you take 2 scoops pre-workout and 2 scoops post workout to help you recover and to help you get the protein nutrition you need for a full workout. On off days I suggest you use it once or twice depending how much protein you need to supplement into your diet. If you are trying to gain mass Id take 3 shakes a day because Muscle Milk is sort of a weight gainer because of the amount of calories and fat in there.

Taste: 10/10
I dont know how in the world they can make this taste so damn good but they do. This is the best protein powder I have ever had. If you have not tried this flavor and you take Muscle Milk then WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR! I haven't been disappointed with a single muscle milk flavor yet.

Ingredients: 9/10
I don't care what people say about it having a lot of fat in it. The fact it has such a nice blend of EFA and MCTs makes me like it. The casein in it is great also. I dropped the scoop of powder in water and it stayed intact, INTACT. That goes to show you the amount of casein in it.

Consistency: 10/10
Muscle Milk is nice and thick, just like a milk shake. Throw in some oats for some good carbs.

Mixability: 10/10
I used a blender just because I wanted it to be perfect. I've used a shaker bottle, and was still impressed by the mixability.

Overall: 10/10
Despite the 9 it did get, I give this a 10/10. It's just awesome. If I can continue to afford it, it's a staple in my supplements unless I can find a better casein. This is not a wonder product, but it is darn close to one of the best protein powders you can get.

It taste amazing. 25oz milk + 5oz water (ice cold) with ice cubes because Muscle Milk tastes better when it's cold (Same goes to all the other supplements). I love the vanilla flavor, it tastes like a milkshake...mmmm

I usually mix my supps with my shaker but for Muscle Milk I use my nalgene bottle. I find no clumps and it mixes perfectly. Muscle milk is also has a very good consistency and isn't thin like other protein powders. Its just perfect to say the least.

The price isn't that bad, but the servings aren't so great either. They have too many flavors too choose from, but I usually just stick with Vanilla or Chocolate/Chocolate mint :)!

MuscleMilk is a great product. I went throught a chocolate, blueberry, and banana tubs and went through all the RTD flavors. It has a nice creamy taste, no bad aftertaste, and usually right on track. I mix mine with milk so its extra creamy but I should mention the mixing is poor. The chocolate clumps fast, and makes little clump balls inthe shake which are impossible to break.

As far as the facts, 35g protein + milk def. passes the bar as a meal replacement. The low amount of carbs and high amount of fat makes it great for low carb dieting. And don't forget the good taste. The saturated fat is not really the same saturated fat you think of.

The price can be justified, it comes down to about $1.25 per serving with a good amount of protein, and a good amount of healthy fats(which are hard to get). Has a perfect taste & profile for a MRP for low carb dieters. That's about it.
