MuscleMilk by Cytosport is usually known for its great taste and good ingredients. The Cake Batter flavor might be the best flavor created by the people at Cytosport. The ingredient profile includes milk protein isolates, whey protein concentrate, and whey peptides that helps your muscles get the nourishment they need before and after workouts. It is easy to mix in a blender. I mixed two scoops with 10 fl. oz. of water in a blender shaking it for 30 seconds. There was no clumping. Soon, I will look forward to mixing it in milk which means it was taste even better. This stuff is amazing. It can get pretty addictive, so I suggest you limit yourself because you might destroy the whole container in a matter of days. If you have some few extra bucks to spend, I would recommend this product.

Everyone who works out consistently should use some type of protein shake. My protein of choice is Muscle Milk because not only is it a good source of protein but it also provides me with a good amount of vitamins, fats, and carbs to refuel me and keep me in an anabolic state. Usually I take it pre-bed so that the slow-digesting proteins can last throughout the night and keep me anti-catabolic. It is also good when used postworkout to keep my body active. I have gained great size and great weight with this while keep my bodyfat very low. The pricing is quite annoying but a product like this is always essential. Lastly, the carbs in this product do not turn directly to fat and store away but burn off after using the product to ensure low bodyfat gains.

Im a big fan of Muscle milk when im bulking, when cutting i would recommend take a look at Muscle Milk light. Cytosport made it well with this product, its highlight definitely.

Muscle milk its more like a meal replacement than just protein, you can use it at morning, at night, as meal replacement or as POST, like many ( but i suggest Whey for this scenario ).

In terms of taste, all feedback is right, i tried a lot of flavors and there is no one that i can't take it yet, all taste so damn good and you never get used to them. I can recommend you PB Chocolate, Chocolate malt, Caramel swirl, Vanilla, Cinnamon bun, Cookies and cream and Chocolate mint, a lot of flavors but when you taste them, its like being in heaven, lol!.

The ingredient profile its very decent, some claims that it needs to up the protein content but i think at 32g its an equal amount that wont be wasted like many protein blends containing up to 60g of protein. At 300+ healthy cals ( without milk ) you can't go wrong with this one for either, bulking or cutting ( depending on your macros ).

The price its decent, it worth it and many users agree on that, you wont be disappointed of trying it, i suggest you give it a try to ANY flavor. Plus it keeps you full for a while.

Cytosport's Muscle Milk is the real deal with protein powders. I always order a tub of Muscle Milk with every purchase I make for the sheer taste, value, and protein combination within this product. Muscle Milk's protein blends are a great combination of whey and casein allowing both fast and slow absorption of high quality protein.

Taste wise, hands down Muscle Milk is dominating the other brands. Their new flavor of cake batter is amazing. All their blends also mix very easily with solid consistency. With either milk or water, Muscle Milk always blends easily. This product is very effective for successful delivery of protein and maintaining lean muscle. A+ product for a very good value.

Muscle milk has always been a formula that worked well for practically everyone. Its matrix of proteins from milk and whey is proven to work well for muscle gain. It is also versatile enough to be taken either in the day or at night; as a meal replacement or bulking tool. For example, I mix it in milk pre-bed for sustained protein release. They have actually reformulated the product and now it contains less fat and has added fiber; both plusses. It is also great that it tastes so good. Almost every flavor that I have had have been positive. My favorite would be creme brulee and chocolate-caramel. The powder also mixes quite easily - no blender required. I use a fork/spoon and it works just fine in milk or water. I rarely take it as-is though; I use it to mix with a denser protein powder to improve their overall taste and texture. I feel that I get the best of both worlds that way.

I had the pleasure a while back to be able to purchase Muscle Milk by Cytosport. Let's take a look at it.

Ingredients: The ingredients in this profile are something new that Cytosport claims to have revolutionized. EvoPro mimics human protein and helps stimulate new growth. Lean Lipids promote fat loss and keep your body lean. Top-notch ingredients. One servings contains 32 grams of creatine and 12 grams of fat with most in the form of MCT which burn fat easier.

Taste/Mixing: I had the pleasure to taste Strawberry Banana for 30 servings. It was great in soy milk and regular 2% milk. I kept wanting to drink more. It certainly gets a 10 out of 10. It also mixes easy.

Best to Take It: The best time to take this for me is when I wake up in the morning before I have to go class and when I am going to sleep. As a college student, you get those mid-morning hunger paints and Muscle Milks does a good job of getting rid of them.

I recommend you not buy it off their site because its like 48 dollars for 32 servings which is high. If you have money to spend and want to enjoy a great tasting protein shake, Muscle Milk is for you. Lean Lipids do keep you lean indeed.

In my earlier days of protein supplementation, I'd always heard about how delicious Muscle Milk was, but the price scared me away. Did it live up to its claims? Read on...

Taste - I've tried nine or ten flavors in total. Of these, three really stood out to me: Chocolate Caramel Pecan, Chocolate Peanut Butter, and Rootbeer Float. It's hard to believe something that's supposedly good for you can taste so great. Chocolate Caramel Pecan and Chocolate Peanut Butter both tasted amazing in milk. Mixed together and with ice it was like having a wildly unhealthy shake. Rootbeer Float also tastes absolutely amazing with water, and the package mentioned mixing it with some sort of carbonated water or something which sounded like it had a great deal of potential. This is definitely the best tasting casein protein I've ever tried, and quite possibly the best period.

Ease of Mixing - It really varies from flavor to flavor, but it's really pretty decent overall. It's actually a blessing compared to ON 100% Casein.

Value - This would get a lower score, but milk prices and consequently cottage cheese prices have raised so much that this stuff is much more appealing. This is a great pre-bed formula and is cheaper than many other casein based blends. When using only one scoop mixed with milk, the value is much greater.

Other - The newer Muscle Milk contains less fat than the old stuff, so it may be more suitable for cutting. I've only tried the old stuff, and I wasn't too worried about the fat content.

Overall, this stuff is fantastic! Unlike it's Complete Whey brethren, this tastes heavenly. I plan on buying it again, and I'd recommend it to anybody out there.

I have used an entire big tub of muscle milk. I would say it's an okay product , theres better stuff out there though. I got decent muscle gains for like the first 2 weeks or so and after that, it didn't really help much, i think the reason i got gains in the beginning is because of the creatine which is in it, and all that does is basically add extra hydration do the muscles (kinda like having more water in them to give somewhat of an appearance of bigger muscles. I think Muscle Milk is just okay, it taste great, it mixes fairly easily . but here are both better creatine and protein products out there. If you Want creatine get Gaspari Nutrition's SIZE ON ,if you want protein go with Optimum 100 % Gold Standard Whey, those are both superior products and have giving me better results . Don't go with this poop.
