This review is from: CytoSport Monster Milk, Vanilla Creme, 2lb. (Grocery) Background – I have been training heavily for the last 2 years. I am still learning a lot but I think that my insight may help you a bit. For starters and no offense but “this shake taste great” is not the type of review that you need to read on monster milk. Blanket statement – Almost all Monster Milk / Muscle Milk shakes taste fantastic. What you really need to know is that monster milk has a very important ingredient which separates it from Muscle Milk and that is Creatine. It concerns me that this isn’t mentioned in any of the reviews. Creatine is a very safe supplement when taken correctly, however if you have no need for it then your paying a premium for a wasted supplement. Creatine has to be taken consistently to show results, therefore if your drinking this shake only a few times a week you will lose one of its main benefits. If you are casually working out then you have no need for this product. If you want a good tasting shake on the high price end then drop down to Muscle Milk. Here is my personal opinion: I used Monster Milk during “phase 2″ of my development at the gym. Phase 1 was muscle milk. I loved the taste I liked the results, but wanted to give something with Creatine a try. After tearing through this product (almost 30 bucks fo 2 weeks worth of shakes) I realized the true expense of this high priced product. Yes, the ingredients are high quality, but you can find that cheaper. As you progress with your goals you begin to recognize the types of people at the gym that you want to emulate. You may not have perfect form but you’re able to recognize it. You may always do generic “easy” workouts and through observation of these people you may add some of the things they do to your workout piece by piece. Observe the types of supplements they use. I have never seen any of these types of people pop out Monster milk and take it after a workout. It’s almost always 100% Whey protein. Advice: Gold Standard 100% Optimum Whey is just as good of a product at FAR less of a cost. You will get the same level of protein quality at about half the price per comparable serving. If you become serious about working out you will need a shake at least once a day, if not twice. You will empty this cannister within 2 weeks and probably sooner than that. If you are interested in using Creatine. Do not package it with your protein. Creatine is EXTREMELY inexpensive in raw form. Almost any Creatine Monohydrate will do. Just get the powder. No mixes no frills. Drink PLENTY of water. The important thing about separating the two is knowing how much your actually taking. A mix doesnt guarantee a specific dosage. Also, you may want to take creatine preworkout and have a protein shake post workout. These types of products are great ways to get your feet wet in the gym world. As you progress you may find yourself moving away from them.
