I didn't get on with the flavour drops.

I think the strawberry ones are great. I buy them when they're half price and they do me fine, make me quite enjoy my shakes.

That said I found the chocolate ones awful.

Hopefully getting a 60% discount code from Kinetica... which brings their costs down to only a lot more expensive than MyProtein... :cool:

I have my shakes w/water so can't comment on milk but...

Strawberry - fine with water - use a single drop w/the Omega 3 liquid too - also works with quark, oats etc
Rasberry - ditto
Apple - ditto
Toffee - works GREAT with quark, not that great w/water+whey on it's own, but w/whey + oats it's nice
Chocolate - as above
Vanilla - use it in combination w/some of the above, is great in quark, passable with whey

Lots of hate on the MP page

I don't know what's wrong with you people, strawberry and raspberry taste absolutely rank with water - like watered down pathetic tasting medicine. If anyone thinks of ordering these please do yourselves a favor and try a sample first.

By far the most amazing one with milk or water is Latte, chocolate is nothing exciting but ok, cookies and cream is nice but a bit too sweet and you might get bored of.

unflavoured is the only way to go fools, buy some ice cream sauce for variety.

Cristian · 20 Nov 2012 at 17:19

But those who are not on the sauce need to watch their calories.

So watch your calories, doesn't mean you need to watch the ice cream sauce

Meh, chocolate smooth does me.

User to have unflavoured, but I prefer the extra taste on my porridge in the morning

Soz I was taking about the Flavdrops not the flavoured shakes.

Hedge · 22 Nov 2012 at 11:38

The Driven Sports Craze I bought on Ebay for £27 was indeed fake. Very good fake though to be honest.

Seller has been very reasonable about it and is going to refund me. He said he bought them in good faith. As long as I get my cash back Im happy.

Ill order some for the proper price from predator nutrition once my paypal cash comes back through.

Tempted to just try the fake one anyway! lol

In b4 AIDS

But seriously. not worth it, you have no idea what the fake is made up of

Hedge · 22 Nov 2012 at 11:40

I received "Performance Protein Blend" from Bodybuilding warehouse this week too. Chocolate Peanut flavour and although its nutty smell is very strong, it tastes great and mixes well.

30g of protein per serving too. It seems good stuff. And price was very reasonable!

Yeah mate youre right really. Curious what people actually do put into counterfeit stuff though. Doubt it would make me ill or anything.

The packaging and sticker look very convincing. A lot of effort seems to go into them.

Steedie · 22 Nov 2012 at 11:47

A lot of fakes pack their products full of magnesium, which is a very common filler ingredient. But if you have too much of it, well........goodnight sweet angus.

Begbie · 22 Nov 2012 at 11:49

How do you tell if its fake? Worried about mine now! Can't remember where I bought it from. It works though...
