Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

The 2lb of this exact flavor was recently available on Amazon for around the same price.

It seems people don't dig the Red 40.

I personally bought 3 from the 2lb Amazon deal because whey is so damn expensive now, but I got the detox steps lined up:

1. Hide the tub: Stash it behind old canned beans so you stop sipping liquefied synthetic cereal milk.

2. Hydrate: Drink 3–4L of water. Red 40 and sucralose pass through your kidneys naturally—no $90 juice fast required.

3. Eat a sour green apple: Sucralose is 600x sweeter than real sugar. Reset your hijacked tastebuds.

4. Eat plain Greek yogurt: Apologize to your gut microbiome with live active cultures.

5. Upgrade the routine: Switch to unflavored whey + real frozen berries for actual antioxidants and gains.

Tempted but having Red 40 for no reason seems weird. It's the reason they are going on sale because nobody wanted the flavors that had it.

I save about $12 compared to normal in store priced Ascent protein from Costco when comparing costs by serving size. That isn't a big enough difference to me.

This comes out to $1.29/serving. That's a bit pricey compared to other recent deals isn't it? I feel like closer to $0.80/serving is a good deal these days.

EDIT: Never mind, had my math wrong. This comes out to $0.77/serving, so that's a good deal to me. In for 2!

So flavored Greek yogurt is no good?

Probably. They went way off the rails with some flavors.

Greek yogurt IS good to reset your gut microbiome after consuming artificial sweeteners like sucralose that wreak havoc.
As for flavoring, it's always better to add your own fruits so you know what you're getting.

Kombucha is another good source of probiotics.

Ah, you're right! My apologies, I had my math backwards. Thanks for pointing that out. $0.77/serving is a much better deal!

Is there an issue with this flavor compared to the usual chocolate or vanilla flavors?

Tried it, but didn't like the flavor. Didn't taste like fruity cereal. YMMV.

Idea: Don't screw up your gut microbiome by consuming so many artificial sweeteners in the first place
