HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY!

Before I get into my review of Beverly International Nutrition’s Ultimate Muscle Protein I would just like to give you a little background info on them.

First, Beverly has been around since 1967 which certainly makes them a forerunner in my book in the world of sports nutrition.

Second, to me the name Beverly International Nutrition means quality—pure and simple.

O.k.

On to the review.

Right up front I will say that this review is based on the chocolate flavor of Ultimate Muscle Protein—as I am not a vanilla guy—any and everything chocolate.

SMELL:

The first thing I noticed when I opened up the can was the smell—Ultimate Muscle Protein smells great , to me it smelled like freshly baked brownies—to some I know this might not mean much, but hey first impressions do count.

EASE OF MIXING:

Again, I will be upfront here, I am a cup-and-spoon guy, and to be honest Ultimate Muscle Protein does not excel here.

I got it to mix up O.K. but it took me a little while to do it with only a spoon.

Next I tried my trusty shaker—a little better here but still not great.

So if you are into easy mixing shakes, this one might not be your cup-of-tea.

I love pudding (yes chocolate) so I took out one of my handy plastic food containers and tried mixing Ultimate Muscle Protein into a pudding.

Bingo!

Works great—mixes up into a good pudding consistency.

My ratings would fall like this:

In a cup—5/10 doable—but does take a bit of time

Shaker—7/10 better than in a cup but still not great.

Plastic food container—10/10 works great as a pudding.

TASTE:

Ultimate Muscle Protein tastes great even in the glass and shaker bottle despite not mixing all that well.

It has a pleasant taste, not to heavy or strong and not too weak tasting.

As a pudding it is great.

One point that I would like to make is this, I only used water for mixing and I would assume if you used milk especially for mixing it into a pudding Ultimate Muscle Protein would taste even better.

Of course, what you use would depend on where you were at, meaning if you were trying to lean out either for the beach or a contest, water would be the way to go.

However, if you were bulking—mixing it with milk would probably be the way to go.

NUTRITION BREAKDOWN:

Ultimate Muscle Protein per one scoop of the chocolate flavor has:

120 calories

3.5 grams of fat

20 grams of protein

4 grams of carbs

COST:

Ultimate Muscle Protein is not cheap, I know this turns off a lot of people, but you have to understand that Beverly uses only the highest quality ingredients for all of their products and of course, this costs more.

This is one area where only you can make the decision—to me it is worth putting out the extra cash for high quality products such as Beverly—but again this is just me.

OVERALL THOUGHTS:

Beverly International Nutrition has a fine line of products—and Ultimate Muscle Protein is no exception.

In truth, I wish it mixed better in a cup with just a spoon—but this really is not a big thing.

The can I used for this review I picked up from bodybuilding.com—they have good prices and super fast shipping—which is really great.

That’s it for today

TAKE CARE.
