Review: Muscle Feast



Recommended Posts

I have been having trouble with most shakes because they have sucralose (gives me diarrhea), aspartame (gives me migraines), inulin/chicory root/prebiotic Fiber (gives me mean gas), or milk (makes my stomach upset). So I have been unsuccessfully trying to get enough Protein without any dairy or Protein Shakes, just meat.

I just tried a new protein powder: Muscle Feast which is a whey protein isolate. I tried the chocolate flavor which is sweetened with stevia.

  • I like that it completely dissolved in almond milk without clumping or being gritty.
  • It only lightly foamed which quickly subsided after a couple minutes.
  • It is very thin. It only uses sunflower letchitin for thickening. I didn't mind thick shakes pre-op but post op, I want it as thin as Water so I can get it down.
  • It has a bitter aftertaste. I usually don't get an aftertaste with stevia when I bake but this stuff definitely hits the back of your tongue. After a couple ounces though I didn't notice the aftertaste anymore thankfully.
  • I think it's a wee bit too sweet and will probably dilute it a bit to make it less sweet. I am really sweet aversive post-op so to someone else this may not be sweet enough at all.

Just thought I would share since I hadn't seen this brand mentioned on the forums before. If anyone else has a Protein Powder that is just isolate + cocoa + stevia, let me know because I'd like to try a few more powders before making a lifetime commitment. 😉

Thanks for the thorough and detailed reveiw. I'm sure many of us have spent money on products that didn't work fo us. Hope you find one that works for you.

Thanks for sharing. Many members here struggle with the Protein Shakes, so this will be a good new option for them.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
