I did it. I tried the Designer Whey Protein Paks 2 Go. I prepared myself to not enjoy this product, because I've been let down lately with new things. But, I was wrong.
The package says that you can use the packet of flavor to your taste, either in 4 oz of water for an intense flavor, up to 16 oz of water for a light experience. I compromised, and dumped my packet of Pomegranate Protein 2 Go in 12 oz of water, for a somewhat light taste experience. Upon opening the packet, I noted no intense smell, no overwhelming artificial fruit flavored powder up your nose like you get when you open a Crystal Light To Go packet. That, is a giant plus for me.
The powder mixed into the water quite evenly and I shook the crap out of the bottle just to make sure.
Once I shook her up and made her frothy, I sipped. I was askeered. Very askeered. But, it didn't smell bad, and looked awfully pretty. Down. The. Hatch. OMGZ, it's GOOOOOOOOOD. Gooder than I 'spected! In fact, I sucked it down. 10 grams of protein, done! STAT. I enjoyed it. I tossed the rest of the packets in my bag for when I'm out - and I plan to use them when I get a cold drink craving. (I HATE WATER. HATE HATE HATE.) I will totally use these for those times when, I have to get a bottle-o-water.
I'm impressed. Again, I'm surprised that I liked it.
