Designer WellnessDesigner Whey, Natural Whey Protein Powder with Probiotics, Fiber, and Key B-Vitamins for Energy, Gluten-Free, Gourmet Chocolate 4 lb

I love this protein powder. It tastes great and mixes really well. Great for digestion. The only complaint I have is that it got too expensive. It used to be around $30, but now it went up to $41. Please bring it down and I will continue to buy it

I love that it doesn’t have artificial sweetener (migraines!) and tastes like nothing, I drink it with water. Simple and easy. If you want flavored stuff, look elsewhere.

The quality of the powder itself is excellent. It was the best nutritional composition of protein powders available on Amazon in this price range. My diet isn't the best and I wanted to supplement it with additional protein, fiber, and nutritional supplements. The prebiotics included was a nice bonus. I had tried this company's Designer Lite Cookies & Cream powder and liked it. However, I wanted more protein and I was craving Strawberry. The quality is there. The Whey line is noticeably smoother and slightly thicker in texture and blends more readily and completely. The extra protein provides me with a more satiated feeling. It's definitely 5 stars. The strawberry flavor, however, definitely leaves something to be desired. 2.5 stars. I will be buying again, just in a different flavor. The strawberry flavor is drinkable but not that enjoyable. I prefer the Whey line over the Lite line which is thinner in consistency , doesn't blend as smoothly, has less protein, and doesn't have prebiotics in it. As others have said, the "resealable zip lock bag " is utterly useless. It doesn't work at all. I had to transfer the powder to an empty Lock & Lock storage container I had on-hand. If the company can't do better than that, it needs to stick with screw-on lid canisters exclusively.

The constituents of protein (amino acids) are some of the most vital building blocks for the human body. Most people talk about getting their protein from meat, fish, etc, but the truth is that most of us do not chew well enough to really get all the nutrition out of our meals. In addition, proteins tend to be thermolabile which means they get denatured and loose some efficacy when heated. So cooking your meat as we all do (for good reasons by the way) reduces the nutrient density. In addition, solid food is energetically expensive to digest and assimilate because your body actually has to work immensely hard to turn your steak or chicken breast into liquid form so that it can be absorbed. This is why most of us get tired after a large meal. Powdered protein gives you huge chunk of all the essential amino acids that your body needs already in liquid form which your body can easily assimilate without much work. Designer whey also includes vital minerals such as zinc, magnesium, and calcium that your bones and muscles need for continued maintenance and growth.I recommend adding this product to a fruit and vegetable smoothie every morning as it gives you a much better chance of recovering faster after workouts, and the fruits and vegetables will surely boost the efficacy of your immune system. If you drink this with almond milk, it actually almost tastes like regular chocolate milk so you won't have any problem gulping it down.In summary, it is a great product for your health and vitality. Our wealth is in our health. If you are laid up sick or injured, you can't make any money and/or do what you love... those two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. While no one can guarantee full health, it is my humble opinion that spending a little cash on something like this that is proven to have health benefits is well worth the investment. It is not for men only... it would also be a great product for our lovely women too! Amazon does a stellar job of delivery as we have all come to expect. I hope this helps anyone who is interested.

Edit: Immediately after my initial review, the customer service team reached out to apologize for my experience and tell me they had already refunded the money for both purchases that I was unsatisfied with. I didn't even have to contact them or ask them anything. I have since switched back to my favorite cookies and cream flavor from Designer Lite and will continue to buy it as long as it is available. Thank you for correcting the bad experience with great service.I have been buying this brand of powder for several years now, specifically the cookies and cream designer lite. I have gotten many friends and coworkers hooked on it as well, it's my absolute favorite! This is a trusted brand for me so I decided to check out some of their other products and order this one plus the toffee collagen... I'm not sure what the difference is but they both taste HORRENDOUS!!! I was honestly shocked because they nailed the flavor of the cookies and cream one but these ones are just intolerable for me. Very disappointed they are not returnable or atleast exchangeable for the cookies and cream one- I paid a lot of money for them.

This powder has NO flavor. I tried making it with milk instead of water. I also tried 6 ounces of liquid instead of eight. The only way to make this powder taste like strawberry is to blend it with real strawberries. Very disappointed in this purchase.
