Contours of the Earth

Muscle Milk probably is the most notorious of the packaged protein shakes. I have to say, this is one of the better ones I’ve tried so far.

The texture is thick but smooth – this is a huge improvement over most of the other grainy protein drinks. I would have given it a 5 if it weren’t for some flakes/ chunks that I got to eventually, which I guess came from shaking it.  The chocolate flavor is not bad, but tastes artificial and slightly sour. It’s only got 2 grams of sugar, so most of the sweetness comes from sucralose which probably contributes to the slightly-off taste.

Chocolate Muscle Milk is also on the high side for protein content, coming in at 34g in a 500ml “juice box.” This is my first time trying Muscle Milk, so I was surprised to learn that it doesn’t actually contain milk – it’s lactose free, but it does contain milk protein isolate. Some people will be glad to hear that it is also gluten free.

Taste: 3 (ok)

Texture: 4 (good)

Protein: (34g / 500 ml) = 4 (good)
