Buyer beware.

1. Misleading marketing gimmicks: advertise 50g of protein for 2 scoops when they can just show 25g of protein for one scoop.

2. Playing by their rules, you get 50g of protein for every 82g serving which results in an abysmal 60.9% protein and 39.1% filler.

3. The second ingredient is maltodextrin. It is a cheap and highly processed filler made from simple carbs such as corn/wheat/potato or whatever increases the manufacturer's profit margins the most. This is what accounts for the 18g of carbs per serving. Maltodextrin spikes your blood sugar faster and higher than regular table sugar. Those sensitive to blood glucose need to watch out for this filler in other foods and protein powders.

Bottom line, this is a subpar protein product loaded with fillers. I would avoid and consider cleaner protein powder brands. Make sure you read the ingredients label, and calculate grams of protein per serving size in grams.

Cleaner brands cost a bit more, but I prefer optimum nutrition or dymatize elite.

This is NOT a good price. This is a terrible price. Looking at my Amazon history, I have bought this exact 5lb jug seven times in the past. The lowest I have paid is $19 and the most I have paid is 27.95. The normal price is not $58 and a purchase price of $40 is NOT a good deal. Use the slickdeal alerts function and set a better price.

Why does Muscle Milk Pro series have maltodextrin? This is not marketed as a gainer. The same for Muscle Milk Genuine Protein Powder

I picked up a five pound of chocolate in December for like 27 or 28. I'm not saying this as a way to gloat, but just to tell you what it has been not that long ago, and that it will probably be lower in the not too distant future if you can wait.

Just to point out, if it was not clear from this post, that maltodextrin is a carbohydrate.


From Wikipedia:


Maltodextrin is easily digestible, being absorbed as rapidly as glucose [wikipedia.org] and may be either moderately sweet [wikipedia.org] or almost flavorless (depending on the degree of polymerisation [wikipedia.org]).

When you account for protein content, do they really cost more?

I have a 2.5 lb tub of the "Pro" version from another deal and it's super thick even with one scoop and going over the minimum recommended amount of liquid for 2 scoops. I can't imagine having 2 whole scoops even at the top end of their recommended liquid amount. I wouldn't get this again.

The Slamming Strawberry flavor for the Muscle Milk Pro taste like NyQuil.

Hard to drink and I still have some from my 12-pack that I ordered 6 months ago.

Muscle Milk is garbage. It does not dissolve well in cold milk. The only way I can get it to mix is using very hot water. And that still leaves clumps. With cold milk it does not mix at all.

The scoops are much bigger than ON and hence require more liquid to mix. The powder is also extremely fine, like dust. So much of it gets dispersed while dispensing.

Honestly I feel ripped off buying this stuff. Its total trash. I tried Dymatize. It was ok, better than this garbage. But ON still come out on top for solubility. Just wish ON was not as expensive.

Weird thing is a few months ago I got a 2lb tub of the Pro series chocolate and thought it was great. It mixed well and tasted decent. Then there was a deal on the exact same thing in 5lb bag and I got it and it was exactly how you described-- hard to mix, clumps up in cold liquid, very fine and gets everywhere. It didn't taste bad, but it wasn't as good as the 2lb tub. I'm not sure why they were so different.

Can somebidy recommend a cleaner brand without SUCRALOSE ?
As much as i like ON ...looks like it has Sucralose which is not good for your gut in long term .
TIA !
