Sci-MX V-Gain 900g Raspberry Cheesecake

I'm not one for writing reviews, but as I was o impressed with this product, I thought I would. I've tried numerous protein powders over the years due to my diet, but none have ever tasted that great, they always left a chemical taste in my mouth, but this product tastes great, mixes well with water and is a good price. I use 2 scoops which gives me about 45grams of protein per shake. Will definitely be buying this again when I have worked through the 2.2kg bag.

I've tried the following dairy-free protein shakes: Vegan Gainz, Bulk Vegan (3 flavours), EarthChamp and this one, SCI-MX Pro-V Gain. It's the nicest tasting of the lot and the highest protein, though I did receive one iffy batch (My GYm Supplements refunded) and necking two of these a day caused my gut to react to the sucralose sweetener, which I now largely avoid.

Vegan Gainz, Pro-V Gain and even EarthChamp tend to be pretty similar in value at about 30 servings for around £30. Bulk is much better value (but requires some mettle to get it down in any of the three flavours I've tried).

Most of these things taste... grey, at best, but Pro-V Gain is chocolately and creamy ... though, if we're honest, still pretty bland compared to a really nice (whey protein) shake (at least, when made with water - perhaps trying some milk substitute or mixing it in a smoothie is the way forward). But it's the lumpiest of all the vegan shakes I've tried, however frenziedly I shake my over-sized plastic beaker.

So, though this one would be my choice, the sucralose issue means I've largely moved onto Bulk and EarthChamp, which are lower protein, taste less good, but use stevia as a sweetener.

I bought the smaller bag of this and it was fantastic. I’m very fussy with protein powder and I’m fed up of the awful taste of protein works powders so I thought I’d give this a go. I tried the smaller bag which was excellent so obviously I thought next time I will take the plunge and go for the bigger one. Big mistake.

For one, the taste is SO DIFFERENT. It's much sweeter and sickly.

Secondly, the protein amount is different per portion (35g for smaller bag, 33g for bigger bag)

Thirdly, the scoop is different even though the serving amount is the same. So with the smaller bag you would use two level scoops, with the larger bag scoop you do one and a half which is so odd.

Finally, the powder mixes differently. Usually I would have one serving of the powder, with 200ml milk and 100 water. This would be fine coming from the smaller bag, but with the bigger bag I need twice sometimes three times as much water for it to mix properly AND that's using a blender.

I actually did a test and got another smaller bag to make sure I wasn't going crazy, but there are SO MANY differences that seem unnecessary. Unfortunately I will have to keep getting the smaller bag even though it's more expensive.

Bottom line: get the smaller bag because it's astronomically better.

A very tasty protein shake, a little on the sweet side for me but still nice.

This is the best chocolate protein ever! I have tried so many. This protein tastes like chocolate. I use it to make cakes, smoothies, and oats. I would highly recommend this brand off protein. Vanilla and salted caramel are extremely tasty as well. The vanilla tastes like custard to me.Absolutely delicious.

Tried this following daughter buying the chocolate..I found this too sweet so invested in the strawberry which is always my go to.

Nice.. not sweet . I add protein soya milk, chia, nuts and seeds plus fruit and put in blender. I was very happy! I changed from a non vitamin Vegan wondershake to this. Half the cost and more nutrients

Equally fine in water shaken. Dissolves good I found

I used to buy the previous version of this - red and blue bag. It was a 5 star, tasty and fulfilling protein shake. This new green bag version is dreadful.

New green bag formula / version review:

1 - it is just too sweet. Even 1 hr after drinking it I was feeling nauseous with the sweetness of it. It did not fulfilling as previous versions, it just made me want to eat stuff to get rid of the nausea it caused.

2- Mixes ok, no issues for me.

3 - Packaging is sub-standard. Does not close properly in contrast with previous version.

I don't understand why these companies have to change a good product into a mediocre one. Saving money in production, possibly?? It is a bad economy though, as clients will just drop you for something else. I was really happy I had found a vegan (animal product free) mix and now I am back to the drawing board.

I bought it even after the previous not so good reviews of this new version as I need to try myself, since it is so hard to find a proper vegan product and I really liked the previous version. I am glad In bought the small bag - still a total waste of money as I don't now if I can stomach this after exercise and it will probably end up in the rubbish bin.

I will never buy from this company again, unless I have written confirmation the formula is exactly as before.

My star review goes from 5 starts on the previous version to 1 star on the green bag one. It is not just the taste. I literally felt sick after having it.

A great product, no stomach issues with it at all, and really helps with my recovery from training.

Needs to be well mixed, as can sometimes be a little lumpy, but otherwise excellent.
