Matrix Sustained‑Release Protein Powder Blend, Milk Chocolate 5 lb

Top quality

Great taste! My go to for many years now. New packaging design. I’m a milk chocolate fan. I put some ice cubes in, water, half a scoop of protein, and half a banana to start my day. I finish it quickly!

I like the macros and the taste is good not very chemically . You do have to mix pretty aggressively so don’t expect to use a spoon . Texture is fine when mixed properly.

If you live chocolate this is your protein! I have been using this brand for 10 years because it is creamy and not overly sweet like Premier Protein Shakes. I use unsweetened almond milk and mix several days worth at a time before I go to bed. I do this because for it to be creamy I let it sit overnight, if you mix and drink immediately it can be a little grainy. I have tried other brands over the years and go back to this one every time.

I’ve tried a lot of protein powders, and this item ranks in my upper tier overall. It mixes well without much effort and doesn’t have the clumping issues or chalky texture that some blends do. The milk chocolate flavor is decent and easy to drink, but not exceptional. Compared to Syntrax’s Chocolate Supreme, this one falls a bit short in richness and overall taste. If both are available, I would always choose Chocolate Supreme instead. Nutritionally, it performs as expected for a sustained-release blend, and it provides a good level of satiety. No surprises there. Overall, this is a reliable, high-quality protein powder with good mixability and solid performance, but the flavor keeps it just below the top spot.

Great taste

I buy this consistently and have for years. It mixes completely in my morning coffee with no gritty residue ( if the mixer/frother is powerful enough).

I love this protein powder. It has good ingredients, it's tasty, and it's cost effective.
