STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER!!! MILKSHAKE HEAVEN!!! August 16, 2009
Travis Deputy (Padukee, Keentukee)
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
Gaspari Myofusion is easily the best tasting protein I've ever had out of the 20 some odd brands I've tried over the last 7 or 8 years. I would have to say that Vanilla is my favorite of the 3 flavors followed by Strawberry, then Chocolate. It's actually called Delicious Vanilla and it is exactly that. If you like Vanilla milkshakes you will love this stuff. Strawberry tastes absolutely amazing, as well. Chocolate I wasn't crazy about at first, but have grown to really like it. Of course part of the problem with that was me adding a teaspoon of glutamine to the shake and it was slightly affecting the taste(I'll tell you more about the Glutamine in a bit).
You can't go wrong with all 3 flavors, but as I said I'm very partial to Vanilla and Strawberry. No matter what flavor you choose it will taste great whether you mix it with fat free milk, skim milk, or 2% milk. I've never tried Myofusion with water so I can't comment on that. It would probably still taste really good. I usually use fat free milk with mine, but sometimes I'll splurge and use 2% milk which it gives an even richer taste. This stuff is super easy to mix with a shaker. I take 4 to 5 scoops a day and have been for about 10 months, with the exception of a 3 week hiatus when I tried that disgusting stuff known as Squirtro-Tech...errrr I mean, Nitro-Tech(read my review right here on Amazon).
Best of all, there's no chemically aftertaste or bloating or squirting. It's not too sweet either. Just right! So Gaspari please don't mess with the formula. It's made with Splenda and only has 3 grams of fat and 2 grams of sugar per scoop. Has a whooping 25 grams of protein per scoop! If I remember correctly there is 157.5 calories per scoop. There are 63 servings in a 5 lb. tub and 1 scoop equals 1 serving. There is a 2 lb. tub but I've never bought it. There are tons of vitamins and minerals in Myofusion, too.
Results? Yep, I've gotten great results from this stuff. When I first started taking it I was regular flat barbell benching(non-smith machine...cabled smith machines should only be used for people with injuries or for an occasional routine change but don't stay on it long...cheaters also use it to make it look like they're benching more) about 265 lbs. I went from 265 lbs to 330 lbs, which is where I'm at right now in 10 months on an Olympic size barbell bench. That's a 65 lbs. increase with no creatine use in 10 months! Yes, Myofusion doesn't contain creatine, which is a good thing because you shouldn't abuse that stuff. If you do take take it in cycles of about 3 months on/off. I can't take it anymore because it gives me the poops.
Anyway, for a 35 year old, like me, whose testerone levels have pretty much come to a halt this stuff has done wonders. I never thought I would bench more than 300 lbs. I've put on 20 lbs. of lean muscle since I started taking Myofusion. Of course, I've been consuming 100 to 125 protein grams from the powder alone every day, including non training days. Add in all the other food I eat during the day plus the 35 to 40 oz. of milk(mix 1 scoop with 8 oz. of milk or water I drink with this stuff everyday and you're looking at 250 grams of protein consumption a day for about 10 months and working out hard and heavy 6 days a week.
The only downside to this protein that I have found(no it doesn't give you gas) is that it doesn't contain Glutamine. But that's no biggie since you can go to Wally World and get a 2 month supply for $10 smackers. Mix a teaspoon full of it in a glass of water an hour before you workout and a teaspoon in with your Myofusion immediately after you work out and you'll be all set. I didn't know that it didn't contain Glutamine until about 2 months after taking it. I was getting really sore after my workouts and wasn't recovering real well so I decided to research recovery and found that Glutamine is great for that. I checked to product label on Myofusion and saw it didn't have any. Quick remedy: Add my own. I can tell a difference since I've been using the Glutamine. Not a huge difference, but still noticeable.
Myofusion, for as high a quality of protein as it is and for what it does and how it tastes, you can't go wrong for the price. You can find the 5 lb tubs of Myofusion on the internet for about $45 total. Just google Myofusion and you'll find a bunch of suppliers. Hint:Prosource You really can't go wrong with Gaspari Myofusion in taste and results. I haven't found any better protein out there that's better in those 2 important catergories. If someone can find me a better tasting protein please let me know. Yes, some will say Syntha 6. I've tried all of their flavors and while Syntha 6 does taste great, but I don't think it tastes as good as Myofusion, nor did it produce the results I wanted. I have a feeling I'll be using Myofusion for years to come. In fact, this may be the only protein I ever use! It's that awesome!!!
Trivia: Gaspari is actually a person. Rich Gaspari, the founder/creator of Myofusion and it's family of products, was a former professional body builder back in the 1980's. He twice placed 2nd in the Mr. Olympia competition back in the late 1980's. Google him, too. He was huge! I def want someone like him backing my product!

Best Protein!! May 9, 2010
Peter Mitchell
I have tried almost every protein on the market and MYofusion Milk Chocolate is the best by far. It tastes great, It is much cheaper than almost all other protein powders. It has 4 types of protein, And I have definitely seen gains while taking it.
Excellent, Delicious and Effective Whey Protein Product July 12, 2010
J. A. Geary (Lakeland, FL USA)
Gaspari got it right with this product. I am a hard gainer and scarf down protein shakes like they were going out of style and have tried them all - well, most. See my review of the "Chocolate - Peanut Butter" version of this product for the positives (and a few negatives that have more to do with mixability and not taste). Gaspari Nutrition Myofusion, Chocolate Peanut Butter, 5-Pound. Unlike the Chocolate-Peanut Butter version (which tastes neither like chocolate nor like peanut butter), the flavor of this version of Myofusion is quite tasty - which is half the battle in getting it into you. I'm going to give Optimum Nutrition's Gold Standard 100% Whey, Double Rich Chocolate - my usual go-to whey product - a break for a while and give this Gaspari product at least 90 days of solid use and see where we go. The only drawback to the Gaspari product though is it does *not* have BCAA's as part of the recipe, so I add BCAA's with ON's BCAA powder (see my review of this product) BCAA 5000 Powder Unflavored 336 gr.
Addendum - 7/24/2010: So far, so good. This is the BEST tasting chocolate protein shake I've encountered (NO. I'm not a shill for Gaspari. The "chocolate peanut butter" version tastes terrible.) Here's what I want to add - this stuff tastes nearly as good in *water* as it does in skim milk. It thickens right up and tastes great. I can't say that about either EAS, Optimum Nutrition or BSN (of course, it's just my preference). Score another point for Gaspari on this product.
Delicious Vanilla is delicious, but... July 29, 2010
The Mandrew (The Dub-V)
Lets start with the truly important stuff - MyoFusion is a hard hitting, fantastic post-workout protein that is possibly the most digestable of all the proteins I have tried in the last year. It seems to be working great for recovery and has a great taste, but...
...you can't mix it with everything. To be fair, with water or plain milk (or chocolate, which makes it amazing), its delicious. Maybe the best solo-mixer I've had. However, there is a slight "caramel" taste to it, so for those of us that like a variety of mixers for our vanilla proteins (and if you drink a lot of protein, variety is key), this isnt going to go well with some of my favorites like OJ, Powerade Zero or Acai juice. So, be aware of that factor. It tastes funky with citrus-type mixers.
I'm gonna enjoy every ounce of it, but probably not get this kind in Vanilla again. I WILL absolutely pick up the chocolate and strawberry to try, just maybe not in the 5 lb. size.
