New formula has higher price, higher calories, higher carbs and the taste is terrible. I actually enjoyed drinking the old formula (2 everyday) in the freezer for 20 minutes, so thick and tasty. New formula doesn’t thicken and tastes like watered down chocolate milk. I’ve already switched to another brand.

New formula tastes great! I loved the original version and was worried when they changed the formula, but after trying it, I was very pleased.

Members Mark is better

Do not like taste or flavor. Artificial Chocolate and after taste.

Ok. Not as good as the bottles sold at gas stations.

Didnt like the after taste.

Bought this for my husband. He didn’t care for the taste at all. Thought it was grainy.

We got one really bad one on the box. It smelled old and was super thick so beware

This is good tasting and gives good amount of protein. Only problem is the first ingredient is water

I see a lot of complaints about the flavor but honestly it’s super mild. It’s mildly sweet and mildly chocolately without any strong chemical or bitter tastes. I’m personally a much bigger fan of this Muscle Milk than the old version. In fact I’ve had lots of protein shakes worse than this. It’s easy to drink, it has 33 grams of protein, and doesn’t include sucralose, acesulfame potassium, or aspartame all of which mess with my gut. 9/10 protein shakes and bars include one of those 3 so when a product comes out that I can safely consume, it’s awesome. These use stevia which is great, and from what I can tell, not a lot of it. It has 11 grams of carbs including 3g of naturally occurring sugar and 2g of fiber. It’s ultra filtered milk, there are going to be carbs in it. 9g of net carbs is basically nothing. Even though I’m on a severe carb restriction, those macros are perfectly fine for me especially considering its insane nutrient density and low cost per gram of protein. Typical protein foods will cost around 10¢ per G of protein whereas these work out to 5¢ per gram of my math is correct. This will be one of the only 3 protein shakes I go for now, so I’m glad Sam’s has started carrying it so I can get it for a good price. Anyway, I felt the need to offset all the complaints happening because at the end of the day, it’s a protein shake. It’s a utility. The fact that it tastes even halfway decent is a blessing. If I want something super delicious, decadent, and indulgent, I’ll go buy a milkshake and take the calorie and nutritional hit. Not everything has to be the most palatable thing in existence.
