Originally posted by mblehm View PostSeems great, but protein content seems real low, and servings per price ratio seems small too.
At my weight, and size I usually try to get the products with the highest amount of protein/serving ratio.
Seems like a great product, but I just don't think I can use it.
On the plus, I am liking the Fruits and Veggie complex and oats among other things.

Originally posted by Gillyh View PostMy thoughts exactly including protein content. I was expecting the price per servings cheaper too for a CL product. Sadly, many people are going to judge the product based solely on the grams of protein. I still ordered 3 tubs to give it a try.

im sure you could figure out while using some crazy mathematical equation and fancy scientific research equipment that costs thousands/millions..
... it's easier for a company to tell you to overdose a product so you piss out most of it and buy more of it as you rapidly waste it. it's actually a very ingenius marketing move IMO

Originally posted by christopher a View PostFelt the same way when I switched from 50 grams of ON Whey PWO to 20 grams of GF PWO. Still have received better results off GF while making sure I eat a whole meal within an hour after the shake. I would give GGS a try and forget about the megadosing on protein. I have found that ON just gave me GI distress while GF didn't. I always wondered how much protein I actually absorbed while taking the 50 grams.REDuction SHOTS are Now Here!

Packaging: 9/10 Simple, stylish, yet attention grabbing. No bogus label claims.
Smell: 9/10 You know what it smells like? Dried fruit, and it has a golden color (hence the name) that I've never seen in a protein powder. Upon first glance, I'm excited, yet, I don't know what to expect! Smells like a fruit blend, for sure.
Mixability: 7.5/10 It doesn't mix as flawlessly as some others, but I think this is due to the carb complex. It was a little gritty toward the bottom, but if you follow the ratio- 1 scoop to 12oz of cold water, you will be okay. Any less, and you might not get it to mix well. I'm not surprised with this consistency being all the different fruit and veggie powders + the oat flour in here. I don't mind it at all, but I could see why some people might.
Profile: 10/10 I think this profile is awesome! With a perfect 2:1 ratio of carbs to protein, it's a great post-workout choice. I like that there are some many great fruits and veggies, even some of the super fruits! I've never seen a complex like it! It even has some flaxseed oil powder and sunflower oil powder too for your healthy fats. Definitely a unique blend. 310mg of calcium, and anyone who has even taken a bio course knows how important calcium is for muscle function.
Taste: 8.5/10 WOW definitely unique, unlike any other powder I've had before. It's definitely fruity, and I can taste the apple. My initial reaction was, "well, it's fruity, but I don't taste the 'pie' part of it". Then I was able to distinguish the taste of the oat flour, which did taste very much like a soft pie crust. Now, it didn't taste exactly like a blended up piece of apple pie, but I have never blended a piece of apple pie! I can absolutely see why it had this name. Also, it's not the absolute best tasting protein I have ever had, but it's uniqueness and profile alone give me the feeling this will grow on me even more. It's so different than any other protein or recovery supplement I have had in the past, that it almost deserves a category of it's own, I can't really compare it to anything!
Overall: 9/10 I definitely want to add this to my mix. I love the carb/protein ration and I love love love that there are lots of fruits and veggies in here. Oat flour was a good choice too, as opposed to purely waxy maize or tons of useless stuff. Unique definitely, and it's a drastic change from other flavors but I love it!
I'd like to thank everyone at Controlled Labs for consistently producing no BS products that live up to their claims. I would also like to thanks CL for including me in this phenomenal experience and trusting my reputation enough to include me. I hope I have met your expectations as far as feedback goes thus far. Great job on another quality product. You guys are really making your way up the ranks in the sports nutrition industry and it's for good reason.
