CytoSport Muscle Milk Light Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you're searching for the BEST TASTING protein mix, this is it hands-down! But if you're like me, you'll soon find that it gets quite expensive and you're always running low or out of it because of the SMALL cans. I started out with the 1.65 lb cans and with only 15 servings per container, that was lasting only ONE WEEK with one shake in the morning and one after a workout or Tae Kwon Do class. This 3.3 lb can will get you through 2 weeks at 2 shakes a day...But you're still talking about $90/month or more for a protein supplement. And if you take 3 a day (directions suggest 2-3 servings/day), then you'll go through the 1.65 lb can in 5 days and this 3.3 lb can in 10 days. At that rate, you'll also be paying around $130-$150/month at current Amazon prices. While I have found "cheaper" prices online, they stick it to you on shipping charges and can take several days to get it to you. Amazon's Muscle Milk Light prices with FREE 2-day Prime shipping are pretty hard to beat!
The TASTE is simply excellent! It tastes more like a melted Vanilla Frosty from Wendy's than a protein supplement. However, I kept looking for alternatives because it really does get expensive. I went through a process and found an acceptable substitute that may help those of you also searching for a protein supplement that works, tastes good and doesn't break the bank. Long story short, here's what I mix:
1 scoop of EAS Premium Vanilla Protein Powder 6 Lb Bag (Pack of 5)
1 scoop of Freak Fix-Muscle Asylum Project Protein Matrix, Pure 2lb White Vanilla
1 scoop of Corvalen M® (12 oz, 56 servings)
Mix these with about 10-12 oz of water. This is a very good tasting shake that has not only helped me with new muscle growth...But I also "feel" like my muscles are stronger, and this is something Muscle Milk Light never did for me. I won't bore you with all of the details of each of these supplements, but some are worth mentioning. A 6 lb bag of the EAS sells for about $25 at our local Costco. There are 78 2-scoop servings per bag, meaning it lasts me 78 days at 2 shakes/day at my above mix. The 2 lb Freak Fix container currently sells for $9.95 each with FREE Prime shipping at Amazon (I just ordered 3 more). The scoop is HUGE and at 14 2-scoop servings per container, it lasts me 14 days. NOTE: AVOID THE CHOCOLATE Freak Fix, unless you're feeling particularly gutsy...It's horrible tasting, a weird purplish color and it looks like you've been eating pure tar after you drop the kiddies off at the pool (go #2). Stay with the vanilla. The Corvalen M works at a cellular level and has been "clinically proven to restore cellular energy needed to promote healthy tissue function, increase exercise tolerance and improve quality of life." It's not cheap, but it works. The Corvalen M has 56 1-scoop servings per container so it lasts me 28 days.
I can drink one of these shakes and go through a 1-hr Black Belt class followed immediately by a 45-min Family Class with my boys, and still be ready for MORE...And I'm not sore the next day! This "formula" combines 2 very good whey protein supplements (each with their own "advantage" claims) with the Corvalen M needed to maximize the use of the proteins at the cellular level. For 2 shakes a day, every day, it costs me about $75 per month and I honestly think I could spend 5 times that much and not get the results I get with my protein shake recipe. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
UPDATE: Wow...Our local Costco just replaced the above EAS 6 lb bag of protein with a MUSCLE MILK 6 lb bag of Whey Protein for only $28.99! Unbelievable! CytoSport makes the best tasting protein you're going to find anywhere, and this is just a GREAT PRICE for 80 servings per bag. I still like the Freak Fix vanilla from above and I now mix 1 scoop of it with 1 scoop of Corvalen M and 1 scoop of CytoSport Muscle Milk 100% Whey Protein 27g 6lb Bag of Vanilla. The result is a HIGH-POWERED, great-tasting protein shake that provides your body with 44g of protein per shake and only costs about $43/month at 1 shake/day. This is 88% of the "Daily Value" and is A LOT OF PROTEIN for most people! You don't want to overload your kidneys with too much protein to process and you can simply adjust the amount you want/need by adjusting the scoop size (eg., 1/2 a scoop instead of a full scoop). Remember that you also get protein through a normal diet. I LOVE THIS SHAKE!! I hope you do too...
