BSN SYNTHA-6 Whey Protein Powder, Micellar Casein, Milk Protein Isolate Powder, Vanilla Ice Cream, 5 Pounds, 48 Servings (Pack of 1) - Package May Vary

I’ve been drinking SYNTHA-6 Ultra Premium Protein – Vanilla Ice Cream since 2018, and it’s still my go-to. The flavor is honestly what keeps me coming back. It actually tastes like vanilla ice cream -smooth, creamy, and not overly artificial. No weird aftertaste, no chalky texture. It mixes well with just water, but it’s even better blended with almond milk or in a smoothie. What I love most is the consistency. Same quality, same taste, year after year. It’s easy on my stomach, keeps me full, and fits perfectly into my routine whether I’m using it post-workout or as a quick meal replacement. If you’re looking for a protein powder that doesn’t taste like you’re forcing yourself to drink it, this is it. Been loyal since 2018 and not switching anytime soon.

I have always loved the way this tastes. I find it very decadent & it is a great supplement for that reason. Keep building that muscle! The texture is luxurious and very creamy without clumps when blended in my shaker bottle. This is a good price for the amount of high-quality product that is easy use.

After 10 years we still come back to this protein powder. All time favorite. The price is so worth it. This flavor is superior and it’s super easy to blend and is the best texture by far for protein shakes, no clumps or weird powdery texture. We still keep going back.

My favorite! Awesome vanilla flavor! Mixes with just about anything! Mixes well!

Well, I've been trying out various protein powders this year, for trying to lose weight, not for working out. As I type this, I have six different brands in house in various flavors. Syntha-6 beats them all on the flavor. I try the mixes with milk, but judge them on how I normally drink them, which is with cold water. (Milk and I don't agree very much, so I have to limit my milk intake drastically.) So far, I've only tried the Syntha-6 in the Vanilla Ice Cream flavor. I read through almost all the reviews before purchasing,and looked up more on the actual contents of the product on another site. (This is a downfall of Amazon's - they don't provide enough information on the ingredients for food products! To list foods, I wish they'd require at minimum that the Nutrition Facts label contents be posted! Anyway, I must say that this powder has fantastic flavor, both with water and with milk. It is higher in calories than some of the other brands out there, but has more protein. One of the reasons I tried it (and the reason I rule out many other brands/flavors) is that this has NO ASPARTAME. I am allergic to it, and must watch all foods and supplements carefully for it being snuck in to the mixes. This does have some corn syrup in it, which is probably why it tastes so good! But, if you are someone who is avoiding corn sweeteners, then note that this item has it. It tastes a lot like a bowl of good vanilla ice cream that melted would taste. Yes, it is that creamy and tasty. My only real complaint about this item is that it makes a very thin-bodied shake. It is like a glass of vanilla milk in texture. If you mix it with water, it looks like really cheap skim milk. That's a bit of a put-off. I ended up mixing it half and half with a flavor of Spiru-Tein and got a decent, tasty thick shake. (Note that I really don't like Spiru-tein's vanillas - there's not much hope for them. But other flavors mix nicely with this brand's vanilla.) Now, note that I have limitations in my mixing that many others won't have. I am partially disabled, so can't always get ice when I want it, or just throw some frozen fruit into the mix. Many times, I am home alone and the kitchen is downstairs, out of my reach. I did try this with ice, and that helped A LOT. Definitely better and a tad thicker when ice cubes were added to the mix. But, I don't see why Syntha-6 doesn't add a little more of some type of thickener to the mix. It would make a world of difference in the general texture of the drink. I haven't tried adding a little guar gum myself yet, so don't know if that would help. Here is the ingredient list: A Sustained Release Ultra-Premium Protein Matrix Comprised of (Ultrafiltered Whey Protein Concentrate [Milk] Rich in Alpha-Lactalbumin, Microfiltered Whey Protein Isolate [Milk] Rich in Whey Isolate Peptide Fractions, Calcium Caseinate, Micellar Alpha and Beta Caseins and Caseinates [Milk], Milk Protein Isolate [Milk], and Egg Albumen [Egg], Glutamine Peptides), Richmix Sunflower Powder Consisting of (Sunflower Oil, Corn Syrup Solids, Sodium Caseinate [Milk], Mono- and Di-Glycerides, and Dipotassium Phosphate), Litesse II Polydextrose, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Nutrisperse MCT Powder Consisting of (Medium Chain Triglycerides, Non-Fat Dry Milk, Disodium Phosphate, and Silicon Dioxide), Ticalose Cellulose Gum, Sucralose, Acesulfame Potassium, Lecithin [Soy], Aminogen, and Papain. Overall, I really like this product. Since I started using it, my nails have been growing like crazy! Not sure if it is related to this product, but it was certainly a change I experienced. I don't feel hungry afterwards, and it doesn't leave me with "hairy tongue" like some powders do. I definitely will be trying some other flavors as the finances allow.

The Mint Chocolate Chip Cold Stone Edition Syntha-6 is hands down one of the best-tasting protein powders I’ve ever tried in over two decades of using supplements. I mix one scoop with a cup of Fairlife Fat-Free Lactose-Free Milk in a shaker, and the result is incredibly smooth and creamy — it genuinely reminds me of a Baskin-Robbins mint chocolate milkshake. At around 200 calories per scoop, you can tell where that rich flavor comes from. It’s slightly on the pricier side, but absolutely worth it. The entire Cold Stone Syntha-6 line delivers outstanding taste and texture.

Dissolves well, good taste

This is a great product and taste pretty darn good to boot. We’ve purchased both Chocolate and Vanilla and have been pleased with both!

Nice product, not overpriced, I like the taste, it's natural, not clumping, and dissolves well. I bought it several times and will buy it again.

Good product

very good, very tasty, i think the best protein that i’ve ever tried

The best tasting on earth Great value if you can get it on sale

BSN Syntha 6 is one of the best tasting proteins I have ever tasted, by far! I tried out a lot different proteins and flavours over the years and Syntha 6 is a 10/10 when it comes to taste. It feels like drinking a creamy vanilla ice-cream milkshake if you mix with a little milk. Ideal for pre-workout drink that you can take in the afternoon. If you’re new to Protein Supplements, here’s an in depth review below. BACKGROUND Most protein supplements that are in the market offer blends of different types of whey proteins. To make it easy, let me break it down for you. There are three types of fast digestive proteins, the cheapest is the Whey Concentrate typically a mass gainer with lots of carbs - Dymatize Super Mass Gainer 6 Lbs,Rich Chocolate , then comes the more expensive Whey Isolate Dymatize Nutrition Elite Whey Protein Powder - 5 lbs (Rich Chocolate) and then the most expensive Whey Hydro Isolate Dymatize Nutrition ISO 100 Whey Protein Isolate Powder - 5 lbs (Gourmet Chocolate) . Concentrate typically takes about 2-3 hours to digest, Isolates can be digested in your system within 2 hours, Hydro Isolates can be digested within an hour and work best as Post Workout drinks). Basically, the price of your protein directly depends on the % of Whey Isolate or Whey Hydro Isolate present. There is also a slow digestive protein called Casein which is cheaper or almost the same as Whey Concentrate, treat this as a bedtime supplement as it takes about 6 hours to digest. What is BSN Syntha-6 Protein Powder - 5 lbs (Vanilla Ice Cream) ? BSN’s Syntha 6 is made of 6 ingredients that delay the digestion of its main proteins. This delay ensures that you are getting protein supplies all throughout the day. BSN claims the other products burn through their protein supply in one to three hours but with this product you are expected to have a steady chain of 6 different leading proteins and amino acids all through your daily routine. Speaking of reality, all day = 4 - 6 hours depending on your body’s metabolism for a scoop.' What Is Inside This Powder? Six types of fast and slow digesting proteins comprise the blend - Whey protein isolates, whey protein concentrates, egg protein, and casein proteins. Added in this mix are several amino acids, fibre, digestive enzymes, and glutamine. Allergen Advice: It may contains egg, milk, soy, fish oil, tree nuts and other natural extracts or essential oils. Syntha 6 nutrition facts (per serving) Zero grams of trans fat, only 2g of saturated fat, 200 calories sufficient for any workout routine, 22g of protein, and high doses of calcium, iron, phosphorous, and magnesium What is the Difference Between Syntha 6 and Syntha 6 Isolate ? There are two variants sold as you might have come across. The Syntha 6 and the Syntha 6 Isolate. As you might have guessed, Syntha 6 Isolate is the more expensive version of Syntha 6 with fewer carbs and complete Whey Isolate focussing on carb conscious fitness pros. It has about 60 less calories per serving, 3 extra grams of protein per serving (25g). Very little fat and a decent taste. If you take two servings per day that's 120 extra calories you don't have to worry about. Isolates get easily absorbed into body and are best consumed as post-workout drinks or early in the morning when you wake up. CONCLUSION Slightly on the expensive side, this protein is great for an afternoon smoothie perhaps an hour or two after lunch while your body craves a little protein and will keep you going till your evening workout. In addition, you MUST drink a lot of water. From a lecture of Dr Tara Swart of MIT Sloan, your body requires 500ml of water for every 30lb (13.6 Kg) of your weight in a day to function normally. If you are considering Whey Isolate for post workout, I would recommend Dymatize Nutrition ISO 100 Whey Protein Isolate Powder - 5 lbs (Gourmet Chocolate) which is the best whey isolate I've tried. Smoothie recipe = 1 scoop (vanilla) + 1 Apple + Banana + 100ml Almond Milk + Ice Cubes in a Blender . You’ve got yourself a meal replacement.
