In my never-ending quest for high sources of protein, I picked up a few individual packets of BSN Lean Protein Dessert in the following flavors:
- chocolate coconut
- chocolate fudge pudding
- fresh cinnamon roll
- whipped vanilla
Each packet requires just 4 oz. (or more; measure to taste) of cold water or milk (I always used milk; I wanted a creamier taste and the extra protein. Just 4 oz. of milk has 4 grams of protein!), and each packet offers 20 grams worth of protein! That’s about a third of my minimum daily recommendation, so obviously I was excited to have these shakes, even if I wasn’t looking forward to the taste of them.
But in actuality, I was pleasantly surprised by BSN Lean Protein Dessert. I could just barely detect the distinct taste of protein powder, and the flavors — chocolate, cinnamon roll, vanilla — were okay. Bland, but pretty on the mark as far as flavor goes. My only strong complaint is about the whipped vanilla. I don’t know if it’s something about vanilla, but man that was hard to choke down.
Bottom line, for the money (the BSN Lean Protein Desserts were marked down to $0.75 at my local GNC), I can’t complain too much! They’re cheap, easy to make, and definitely flavorful, even if they’re on the bland side.
