Thanks OP - I have been recently looking to buy a protein supplement.

Any suggestions on what to look for when choosing a good or the right product?

Know what you want before you make the purchase. Look into a few things, such as..

• Your preferred sweetener (dextrose, Splenda, stevia, et cetera)
• The type of protein you're looking for (isolate, concentrate, micellar casein, vegetarian-friendly, on and on)
• The intended purpose & absorption rate (post-workout generally means isolate, meal replacement means concentrate, overnight means micellar casein, or blends)
• The mixability of the brand you're purchasing (not a word, but you get my drift I'm sure)
• Whether you enjoy the flavor or find it tolerable (as in, avoid bulk until you've tried it)
• General reviews of the product on the net for quality
• ... Whether it has fat or carbs (and if you want those), on and on and on

Chocolate's not bad, a little watery (I tend to like fruit flavoured Isolates for this reason).
85% protein per serving, so good for recovery drink and lactose intolerants should not have any problems.

FYI @ $45 it works out to $1 per serving

45 is the regular price, with coupon it's 35. They have these sales maybe 2 times a year.

I picked up the chocolate for my son - he said it was pretty good

[redflagdeals4u]

Picked up some EAS whey powder 3-stage blend at Costco last night.

6.2lbs for 39.99. Chocolate flavor; it's all they had for flavors.


It's a great price for an EAS product.

shoot. you're saying it ends today. ah.

is it only one 4.4lb tub PER COUPON?

[ecobuilder]

I bought 2 tubs and they applied the coupon to each one at the cash register.

This is whey protein isolate and is of high quality. Definitely not a blend.

Good questions. Ends today? And where do you get the coupon from?

No coupons required i guess.i just came from costco brampton with 2 units of this whey protein and got $10 off ( no coupons required at cash counter )

[V A N Q U I S H]

Don't worry about the coupons, they'll deduct it for whatever quantity you buy at the checkout.

Does this coupon end today? I think that my B&M closes at 8:30pm!

I am also 30 mins away...

Chocolate tastes really bad, I regret not buying vanilla...
