UniversalNutritionProandOats,RichChocolate,3-Pounds

I'm a big fan of another brand-name version of this Oats and Whey product, but decided to try this off-brand. I found that this did not live up to my expectations. I tried the chocolate version mixed in milk. It's edible, but tastes way too sweet. Maybe this product contains too much stevia and not enough salt, because it's sickeningly sweet and leaves a weird mouthfeel. The product does not mix well, and contains large chunks of oats that were not ground finely enough. I will finish my current batch, but will probably not buy another.

I bought the Universal Nutrion Pro and Oats for my boyfriend. He wanted a protein shake that would be filling and taste good. Sometimes, he doesn't always make the best food choices and skips meals. I chose this because it didn't have fillers, artificial sugars and was a great bargain. It has 7 grams of healhy fiber from oats and if you add a banana, almond milk, and a little peanut butter it makes a filling meal replacement which he loves to drink for breakfast.

The Pros:- decent protein blend to complex carb ratio- good mix-ability- no artificial sweeteners/colors- nice smooth texture (even when mixed with water)The Cons:- the serving size is a tad on the big size at approx. 52g.- the "Frosted Cinnamon Roll" flavor is artificial and is reminiscent of a Yankee Scented Candle- although the sweeteners are natural, there are 3?!? Stevia, Honey Powder, Evaporated Cane Juice

I often use this as a meal replacement in the mornings since I don't really like breakfast.. Lately I have had a hard time convincing myself to use this due to the awful taste. The consistency is fine and the product itself fills me up, but it leaves a terrible taste in my mouth afterwards.Also, not a huge deal, but the scoop doesn't fit into the top of my shaker - it's too big. So you have to tip your shaker to pour the protein in. The first time I used it I poured protein powder all over my counter. Not a big deal but something I thought worth mentioning.After trying Optimium Nutrition's version, I wanted to try this. I will be going back to ON's version once I choke down the remaining 20 or so servings I have left.

The flavor is actually pretty good and it has good nutritional stats. You can obviously make your own with plain oatmeal and whey protein for drastically cheaper though, if you should have the motivation.

It arrived very quickly and in excellent condition. Even though the nutrients are apparently in the mix, I have to get down to my deal breaker. The taste, to me, is...bad. I shouldn't have to waste my time choking down a product that has such a strong chemical taste. There are many other products out there to chose from. Spend a little more, and consider skipping this one.

Use this powder primarily in a blended shake with fruit, peanut butter, however also mixes well in a shaker cup. Love how there are only a few ingredients, so you're not getting something loaded with artificial sweetners(though it has Stevia extract), and a ton of other things you've never heard of. A delicious, simple chocolate & oatmeal protein shake. The chocolate flavor is very rich, I'm a big fan.

Overall great product but does taste very odd compared to other whey proteins. Would recommend going for something else but did feel like it was working paired with my workouts. Mixed nicely and price was right. Taste was a killer though.
