Everybody is familiar with MuscleMilk and its great taste, but many wanted a version that is lighter and included less fight. MuscleMilk Light was the answer from Cytosport. It almost has half as many calories, but the taste is almost good as good. I got the Vanilla Creme and mixed it in milk. It mixed decent and taste was excellent. Also, it has 1/3 less fat than the popular MuscleMilk. I think Cytosport has hit a homerun with its consumers on this. They have the popular MuscleMilk which taste great and will have you packing on quality muscle with the extra pounds. Now, they have the light version that will be just as refreshing, but less fat content. It is a win-win for all. It is not the cheapest protein, but MuscleMilk is one of the better tasting.

A diet version of the original muscle milk that in my opinion works just as well. So this one is for the people who do not want to build massive muscle but rather keep a good body weight. It has only about 1/3 of carbs, calories and sugars, so it is much better for keeping a healthy diet, but not compromising your muscle building supplement. I am actually still testing this now, i have used it for about 2 weeks, and i have gotten very similar results to when i used muscle milk regular (i need to start watching my sugar intake :). I feel i still get a lot more out of my lifting than with no supplement.

Late on the night of December 25th,
I received this most awesome gift.
It came wrapped in paper shining bright,
I opened it to reveal Muscle Milk Light!
Delicious taste with only 6 grams of fat
And more protein than you can shake a stick at!

Ok, I'm done. Muscle Milk Light is the 'diet' version of regular Muscle Milk, only 195 calories per serving but still packing 25g protein of both slow and quick digesting protein. More attractive nutritional stats than most RTDs/bars, so it's a nice MRP, and the Chocolate Mint taste was awesome, just what you'd expect, mixability was great as well. A solid product if you're cutting but still want that unbeatable MM taste. If you're not cutting though, I'd stick with regular Muscle Milk for those extra MCTs and calories. This is higher in carbs than regular MM, if that's an issue for you. Downside - price.

(Admin: This review applies to the Banana Creme flavour.)

I baught this product for my wife to use in the mornings as a meal replacement so she could get breakfast in before work, as she does not usually eat breakfast. she found it took to much time to mix and I acquired the powder. I mixed the product with 8 ounces of 1% milk and used a shaker cup. taste was great! just like a banana smoothie, the ingredient profile is great as well, thought the fat content is cut back since it is the "lite" version. Powder mixed quite well with the shaker with no gritty taste. I suggest this to anyone looking for a meal replacement powder more then a strict protein powder, and also someone who wants a powder with a little less fat then the traditional muscle milk.

I LOVE Muscle Milk, since it came out i´ve had enjoyed all flavors and there is no one i really hate. Cytosport does a really good work here and by adding the Light version, it allow us ( People cutting ) enjoy more of this really healthy dessert of shake. This version has almost half the calories the Muscle Milk original has, so its an easy way to replace meals, the blend of proteins, carbs and fats makes Muscle milk a real replacement meal.

Taste is awesome on whether flavor, as i said earlier there is no flavor i hate yet, all are very similar to the flavor they claim and the mixability its pretty easy on a shaker or on a blender. I prefer to take them with water rather than milk, cuz i sense more the flavor.

When im on it, its a staple for breakfast or bedtime but it can be a bit expensive, cuz of its protein content.

Cytosport raises the bar with Muscle Milk Light. They took notice to all their critics and beloved users complaining of the high fat and calorie content of regular Muscle Milk. In turn, they produced the same great product with a third of the fat and fewer calories. The product remains unchanged otherwise and still produces a great protein blend of whey and casein.

The taste is the exact same of regular Muscle Milk. This is like Diet Dr. Pepper and regular Dr. Pepper. No difference. Same great taste with every flavor, favorite is definitely the peanut butter chocolate; makes a great bed time shake.

Muscle Milk Light mixes very well with water or milk and has a very good consistency. I have yet to have a hard time mixing up CytoSport's protein. Great product for someone watching their calories but looking for great protein--would be ideal for a cut.

CytoSport Muscle Milk Light

I have gone through a few tubs of Muscle Milk Light! It tastes great! Just as good as the Orignal. So Far I have tried Cookies N Cream, Chocolate, vanilla Creme, and Creme Brule. These taste really good mixed in about 20oz of liquid (skim milk IMO). I would rate these flavors from Cookies N Cream the best, Chocolate second, Vanilla Creme third, and finally Creme Brule (gets old fast). If you have tried the original, then you know how great this stuff tastes. It also has a great protein blend consisting of slow and fast digesting proteins, Ideal for any time of the day.

This product could cost alot if you consume it as they recommend (only 15 serving), but once in a while as a treat its a great deal!

I however mix 1 scoop of Muslce Milk Light in about 8oz of Cottage cheese (add in some milk or water), and it tastes like Ice Cream. I eat this before bed. Something to look foreward to a night.
