MuscleMeds Carnivor Beef Protein Isolate Powder, Chocolate, 7.47 lbs (003662)

Best stuff I've ever tried. In my opinion coming from Optimum Nutrition and Naked, this blew me away. My body might just prefer this over anything else idk. Incredibly easy to digest, immediate noticeable difference in strength, quality is amazing. Very very good taste (I got the chocolate one). Its really easy to mix and does not clump at all! Protein content is great.... I dont know what else to say this is just awesome. Its not too sweet as well. Its perfect.

Simply said, I love this protein and it's by far the best I've tried. I did whey for years, tried egg proteind powder, and even tried just eating lots of tuna and egg white omelettes. Decided to try the one thing I hadn't yet, beef, and I'm so glad I did. I do a scoop before and after my weight lifting sessions, and I get a slight push that lets me lift heavier with an extra rep. I noticed an increase in vascularity as well. I don't think it helps me recover faster than whey or egg. A huge advantage to this for me is that whey got me pretty bloated. Since I take it before a workout that was always pretty uncomfortable. And afterwards isn't as big of problem, it just always made me feel gross. I also noticed with whey, because of the dairy, I would get zits if I drank too much (that's just a me problem, but be aware if you drink a lot of milk and have acne) As far as flavor goes, I've tried the vanilla caramel and the strawberry. The strawberry is just OK, it tastes like a stale strawberry wafer. Love, love, love the vanilla caramel!!! :) It reminds me of the inside of a heath bar, or vanilla toffee coffee creamer, but not as sweet. As far as mixability goes, it does tend to glob up. My method to mix it nicely is to put about 1/4 cup water in a 16 oz shaker bottle, then the protein power, shake it real hard for about a minute, let it sit to dissolve ~2 minutes, shake again, and fill the rest of the shaker bottle with water and shake some more. It gets kind of foamy, so leave some room at the top. That'll get most (if not all) dissolved. If I have extra time, I mix it in the blender with some ice cubes. (Best tasting and most easily mixed method) Overall I'm noticing greater gains on this protein. Since it measures protein to calorie the same as whey, I chalk it up to the bonus anabolic benefits and the natural creatine. It could also be attributed to the fact I'm more comfortable during my workouts without the physical constraint of bloating, so I'm more comfortable to do more. I definitely recommend this for anyone who's plateaued on whey/casein/egg, gets zits/bloated from dairy, or just wants to try something different. So long as I keep lifting, this will be in my cupboard. ;)

My favorite product in this world! I purchased like TEN bags .. if not more of this product. I can honestly say that this is the most consistent product in my diet for the past 10 years. Great protein content, and has a great value for the money. The flavor ( chocolate) is my favorite. Great texture and taste ( I use plant based milk and blended in a bullet). Has a bit of clumsiness if mixed with water in a shaker ( If let to sit a bit after clumsiness will dissolve). The most I love about this product is the fact that I have ZERO gas pain ( abdominal pain) after this! I purchased MASS carnivore for a higher calorie intake and Carnivore LEAN Mass for lesser calorie! I will purchase this forever!!

I really wanted to like this protein. Up until Carnivor I have only used whey isolates and this was different so I wanted to give it a try. I read most of the reviews here and read a lot on other sites. I knew going into it that it might not taste all that good but the gains would be worth it. Well I've used it straight for 7 days now and I can say confidentially that this product makes me feel sick to my stomach after drinking it, rendering me on the verge of vomiting for several hours after. I will be trying to get my money back, but will not hold out hope for that one. Taste: Out of the dozen or so flavors from different brands I have tried, this one is the worst or next to the worst. Chocolate is one of the primary flavors of protein shakes, and if you cannot make a Chocolate flavor good you are doing something wrong. The actual flavor is hard to describe, there is a hint of chocolate followed by burnt toast, and that smell of when it is just about to rain, but in taste form. lol I've tried adding up to half a liter of water to the bottle to see if I can thin it out and just chug it down. That does seem to help but it foams voraciously. Which leads me to. Mixing: I have a regular blender bottle with a spring ball. After a vigorous shaking the bottle will be full with foam which is hard to drink and leads to the unpleasant after effect of burping up that lovely chocolate/burnt toast/almost rain flavor. It seems to mix fairly well; I didn't notice and chunks (thank goodness), just a lot of foam. After effects: I got past the taste but, like I mentioned above I felt queasy for an hour or two after. I'm glad I was taking this post workout because if I had done it as a pre-workout I can only imagine how much worse it would make the workout. After seven days of taking it I have not seen any gains and or fluctuations in my strength or body composition. If it didn't make me feel so uncomfortable I'd give it a longer chance but this experiment has been long enough. Conclusion: I wanted to share my personal opinion because everyone is different and someone out there may very well like the taste and have tremendous gains from it. My hat is off to you gentlemen that this works for, but for me Carnivor is a bust. I will be returning to whey protein which agrees with me better. Lessons Learned: When in doubt buy the smallest container!

It doesn't taste great, but the results are awesome. This stuff hasn't upset my stomach. It mixes super easily. My wife and I both use it. It keeps you energized, and with a little milk and yogurt, the taste is way better. But for the results I've gotten from taking it for 6 months, it could taste terrible and I'd still take it, lol.

I have been using carnivor protein for a few months now, and it has become one of my favorites. What I like the most is that it's beef protein, so It digests easily and doesn't cause the bloating I have experie ced with some whey products. The flavors are surprisingly good, specially chocolate and it mixes smoothly without climps. I have notices faster recovery after workouts and more consistent muscle growth. Its also low fat and sugar, which makes it clean option for my diet. I definitely recommend carnivoe to anyone serious about strength training or fitness goals.

Purchased the Cinnamon Toast, Flavor with 8oz of water is surprisingly good and I personally HATE mixing protein with water but I always try it. The flavor is akin to Lucky Charms after it's been dusted with the marshmallows but obviously without the Marshmallows, sounds mildly disappointing but ABSOLUTELY my new favorite as it's the best Water based flavor I've ever had. The lack of Lactose is obvious to me since I do have a bad reaction to it where my tongue itches and stomach bloats to the point of indigestion Chewy Vurps, NONE of that is present so can comfirm that claim 10/10. Dissolves easy to a smooth texture in my blender cup. Easy to pack and mix with water. Jury is out on Protien and recovery tho but looking forward as my staple powder for the next couple seasons of Lifting weights.

Heh. I saw the reviews and decided to try this brand. I tried the Blue Raspberry and it was probably the most vile disgusting thing I ever had but still better than the Muscletech stuff. I mixed in two scoops and shook the bottle but those clumps would not disintegrate at all. Hmmm. I looked at them and added a little more water and shook harder but yep, they remained. I silently cursed and thought this stuff is too damn expensive to toss so I flipped my bottle open and began to swill it down. I got about halfway before my gag reflex kicked in, man this stuff had a bite like some type of venom! I pinched my nose and went back to chugging away. The more I drank the more I felt like Dr Jeckyl turning into Mr. Hyde! This stuff was strong! Like some type of Donkey Punch! But surprisingly it was very easy on the gut! No bloating and bubbling at all! I powered through my workout and it felt like I was being fueled off empyrean fire! I finished my workout and later evaluated my stomach. Still no slithering snakelike bubbling like Muscletech so I side-eyed the bottle and thought I could take another scoop for post workout. The bottle seemed to mock me. Maybe it was my imagination, maybe it wasn't. Anyway I put another scoop in the bottle with water (which is the worst by the way) and slammed it. It felt like the cheapest most revolting and nauseating shot of whiskey I ever had but still great on the gut and it actually felt like it was working right away. In closing, it is not the best at taste but I have grown to like it now and it's so easy on the gut it's now number 1 for me. Uh...as it exits the body it seems to be irradiated. Like nuclear waste. And it' s kind of flourescent. That is all. Buy it!
