I recently ordered some Dymatize Elite Whey from Discount Supplements - they were the cheapest supplier! I went for the Chocolate Fudge flavour, thinking that it would be a really good choice…
How wrong I was, the flavour neither tastes much of chocolate or fudge, it’s just pretty bland in my opinion. I’ve been using Boditronics Express Whey, and have really enjoyed it - its a really thick, well mixing shake that could be mistaken for a regular milkshake not a protein shake!
But this Dymatize Elite Whey is just too watery, even when blended with a banana, which is how I have my breakfast shake to add a bit of thickness to it, it was still very thin. It’s made me realise what a find the Boditronics shake is.
Needless to say I will continue to use the Dymatize shake until I’ve finished it - it is protein powder after all - but I won’t be buying it again. I can only assume that because it does not contain any micellar casein or perhaps it’s the pro-biotic, it doesn’t seem to have any thickness to it.
Besides that thickness, the flavour was just a bit too subtle for my liking. For my money, chocolate fudge should be really rich chocolate with a good fudge flavour, not just a bland chocolate with a hint of fudge, which I found could almost have been minty??? Not really what I was expecting, especially as the image on the side of the tub made the shake look really apetising, the reality was something different.
For anyone who is interested how I make my shake, I use two scoops of the powder, one banana and 2/3rds of a pint of cold water.
