Default Universal Real Gains


Universal Real Gains -- Vanilla
http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/univ/real.html

Taste: 8/10
This was a pretty tastey vanilla. I should note that I am a vanilla fan.

Mixability: 6/10
Mixed 2 scoops into 15oz. of milk and a shaker and while it mized ok, there were a lot of chunks left in the glass

Overall: 7/10
While I am not a big fan of gainers, as far as taste and mix, this is just moderate. Nothing incredibly special, but it did have a good taste to it.

Not trying to hyjack but just add my opinion.
I have used Real Gains Chocolate up to a couple weeks back and liked it a lot.

Taste: 8/10 - Very good flavor. I personally am really tired of chocolate flavored anything but was suprised I like it. Really tastey with skim milk.

Mixability: 8/10 - For the maasive amount of scoopage it mixed very well. It never clumped in water and only a little bit with milk but hey everything pretty much does.

Overall 8/10 - For gainers is is very low fat, contains EFA's and low sugar. Personally I use only Real Gains and Cyto Gainer.

Considering maltodextrin is actually listed before the protein blend, I would steer clear of this stuff. Much better products out their for the price--IMO.

I apprecaite the review, as always RB12.

I tried a sample of the RealGains Vanilla flavor and didn't like this gainer.

The taste was hampered by the lack of mixibility. I used a shaker with skim milk and it didn't mix well at all. I'm not a fan of this particular supplement, although I like other Universal products
