Does not mix

Tastes ok and a good dose of BCAAs but does not mix, the powder just sits on the top of water and refuses to dissolve.

Really Liked Cola

4
Overall:

Was really happy to find a BCAA that I can sip away on without it being too wierd, and the Cola is great. Happy I got it. Have also bought the Mango Punch and the Strawberry Lime but haven't tried them yet. Only marked down as the total sugar content is ambiguous... if its 100% sugar free why don't it say that..hmmm.

Goes Well With:

Water n Ice, + Pushing Tin.

Flavour matters

Most bcaas do the same thing, but the flavour in these matters the most! Did the usual, felt quite hydrated and helped in my recovery process. Cola: really my favourite, mixed well without residue on bottom, and actually tastes like non carbonated cola (is good to mix with soda water not going to lie is quite a nice sweet fizzy drink) is delicious and would buy again Blue Raz is terribly bitter, does not mix well (heaps of residue that never seemed to mix even when heavily diluted) and even after trialling I could not get the right dilution for taste it was either way too bitter, burning sort of sensation going down, or so weak it was difficult to power through. Did not come close to finishing bag and will not repurchase. Watermelon is even worse, was so bitterly sweet it was near impossible to drink, not really sure what palette can handle it but mine did not suit. gave to a friend who loves it so seems a personal taste thing. She loved the bitter harsh sweet taste, but I prefer something like Cola that wasn't too strong. Peach mango my favourite by far, best paired with soda water and excellent when strongly mixed, is a flavour i will re purchase and do thoroughly enjoy goes fastest I have it almost every day.

Goes Well With:

Soda water.

For tasteless it's one of the best.

Most BCAA blends is different from brand to brand. Each with there own packing and supplier leaves distinct flavors from one brand to the next. This one currently stands closest to tasteless. However, as with most BCAA unflavoured blends results in a bitter after taste left undesirable. So as a given, would recommend throwing into your favourite drink containing sugar free derivatives or the likes, fats like yogurt, shakes, cold or hot cereal alleviate the bitterness that comes with the powder if consumed together. Because of it's high mixability due to BCAA's miscible chemical properties allows for these alternative means of consumption. If you plan to hash a scoop of dry powder like how it is with the current fitness meta, I wouldn't, no one prefers it and consuming large quantities is less beneficial vs. taking a bit at a time like with food.

Goes Well With:

Flavoured beverages, Yogurt, Protein Shakes (some already contain your BCAA's try to not overlap, your wasting money) in the end your protein will get broken down into the likes but use your own judgement. Cold or hot cereal, cottage cheese, eggs (surprisingly, if mixed into a scramble of course).

Wow, these are so delicious. Cola is so good, raspberry licorice is pretty bloody weird, maybe after a while it may get too much. It’s got thing tongue numbing quality... you won’t be able just to mix it in really needs an epic shake.  But yeah, really happy!!

Goes Well With:

Water, Weightlifting, Friendly bodybuilders.

I ordered Strawberry & Lime in the 250g pack and wish I had of got the 1kg. I'll be ordering more to have it at work, gym and home. This flavour is the perfect balance to add some flavour to water without being too sweet. It will certainly help me stay hydrated, together with the benefits of amino acids.

The BCAA mix very easy, just the only thing would be the taste, it tastes a lot like chemicals, very artificial but it is definitely bearable. Will have to try another flavour.

Versatile, great for slushies / frozen drinks

Ideal core ingredient for a guilt free frozen drink, like the calorific ones they sell at fast food stores. I also use plenty of lemon juice as a detox / pH enhancer. One generous (i use a pint) glass of ice, a scoop or two of your favourite BCAA, a little water for blending, and offset any excessive sweetness with lemon juice to taste - giving it that zestyness. It all depends on your blender, palate, and ingredients on hand. After one or two attempts I had it down to my preference.

Goes Well With:

Ice. Lemon juice.

Tastes fab

I bought both the watermelon flavour and the blue raspberry. I do say that I agree with other reviews on the mixability of the BCAA. I let mine sit for 5 mins while the powder breaks down. But they’re both really fab flavours, especially watermelon. I’ll be repurchasing watermelon but not the blue rasp. Good but not again.
