I tried the Fit & Trim Designer Whey and found it bland and gritty (even when using a blender). Is this better than the Fit & Trim version?

I haven't tried the Fit & trim but I really like the designer whey. I use it with almond milk and fruit so I haven't had a gritty texture at all... I do use it with a small amount of sugar if the fruit isn't sweet enough! I hope this answers your question....

This has a good taste, not gritty. I mix it with 2% milk, sometimes adding yogurt , bananas,or strawberries. I have this for lunch, and it holds me until supper. I have been using this product for over a year and have been very happy with it. They have vanilla or chocolate, both are good, but I prefer the vanilla. Enjoy.

Designer Whey is the absolute best. I had Gastric Bypass in 2007 and the dietician recommended Designer Whey above ALL other protein supplements. It blends very well and has no gritty aftertaste. I love the Gourmet Chocolate!I can drink it plain or I even mix strawberries and/or a banana to give it a unique taste. Next I am going to get some Orange extract because chocolate and orange is a delicious combination as well. I use skim milk or 1% milk in the shake. GNC sells half the amount for the same price Amazon has it listed for. It's terrific! You will love it too and it is worth every penny. Susan S. Designer Whey is the absolute best.

I used the designer whey in a diet program. One meal a day was designer way and 1 cup of frozen mixed fruit. I like Vanilla Almond bgest - 170 calories total. With fruit you have no grit and a great taste.

So, the fit & trim is soy based, so its not going to be as smooth. The pure whey is definitely better (especially when blended!) I recommend the almond flavor (also add almond milk to cut down the calories!) The praline was OK.

Never tried the fit and trim - have used the designer whey for years and fine it the least gritty of all the brands. Of course the chocolate helps!

I have not used Fit & trim, but bland and gritty are not what I would call this brand. I like it, it's smooth and rich.

My neighbors have a pretty new Vitamix (not sure which model) so when I bought the Oster Versa I invited them over for a "blender challenge". We spent an afternoon making identical recipes in both blenders. The results were identical except that the Versa heated the soup recipe faster than the Vitamix. The only other difference I noticed is the Vitamix's lowest speed is much slower.

I think every whey protein does change the texture a bit, but I have found it is the best one I've tried. hope that helps.

The original extreme 60 is what I have used for years and it works great. More protein with less additives than the competing brands. As far as I can tell the ripped has a thermogenic in it and other traces of fat burners. As for taste it is pretty much the same, maybe very subtle differences.

I had a Vitamix that I got tired of carrying back and forth to use at our lake house, so hoped to get a less expensive option in the Breville blender to use in that kitchen. I can only attest to the fact that the Breville was not able to make the quality of "smooth" smoothies that the Vitamix can. There were lots of bits of kale, spinach, carrot, etc. that made it feel disgusting (to me) to drink after being used to a truly blended smoothie that my Vitamix totally blends. I believed the reviews that said it did blend smoothies well....but certainly not kale. I returned the Breville to Amazon, and purchased the lower model Vitamix which works perfectly, despite no bells and whistles. I actually bought it in NH (no sales tax) with a BBandB coupon which was less expensive than anything online for Vitamix and same price as Breville. Since I only tried out the. Breville for vegetable and fruit smoothies, I cannot speak to how well it works for other foods. I do love my Vitamixes! The comment below about tamping is also true of the Vitamix depending on the order in which you place the ingredients in the blender. Most of the time I do not need to use it...or just run the cycle a second time to get everything blended thoroughly. It is true that the Ninja is cheaper and has more blades to help it blend well, but I find the Vitamix safer to clean....no need to even take it apart or put your hand in to clean the sides. That said, I do know that the less expensive Ninja is said to do a good job blending. I just hate having so many blades to navigate when washing. Good luck finding the right blender for your needs!

i didn't care for the texture a with day old mixture. I mix only what I am prepared to eat in one setting. I mostly use in my shakes.

I guess that would be a matter of personal taste. I'm a chocolate lover, but prefer the vanilla Whey Isolate. It also depends on how you plan to drink it. I make a smoothie; blending 8 oz. natural yogurt, 1 banana (or equivilant amount melon), 2 TBSP peanut butter, 2 TBSP wheat germ, 1 TBSP honey, and 2 scoops Whey Isolate - within 30 minutes of my workout. (I work out 3 days a week.) On off days I blend only the yogurt, wheat germ and 1 scoop Isolate. In an emergency, the vanilla ain't too bad mixed with cold water.

Yes, and yes. We've been using Source Organic at our CrossFit box for close to a year, now. Everyone who's tried it swears it's the cleanest, best performing whey they've ever tried. If you're going to be consuming a lot of whey, you want some that works! The only complaint we've ever had is that it's nearly flavorless, which most find is a benefit.

it's slightly gritty if you don't use a good blender. Personally, I wouldn't give children protein supplements, I would give them whole foods.

Not that I have noticed, but it is harder to clean this bottle compared to the traditional blender bottle. The thing I do like about this bottle is that it fits in my bike bottle holder, looks like a regular bottle, hand grip is a plus. Bit I do notice that if you don't click the to, your protein powder will spill.

I used Slimfast years ago and it did work. I am now trying Almased and it is more fulling, but more expensive and gritty. It does work for me too.

This product has more protein than Shakeology. I used the vegan Shakeology so it did not have dairy, nor does this product. The texture of Raw Fit is a bit gritty, Shakeology is smooth and I believe tasted better. I love Shakeology, the only reason I use Raw Fit instead is because I need more protein and I like not having to commit to spend $100 per month to get the best price.

Don't know, but I didn't like this product - too sweet by far and doesn't thicken a smoothie the way I like. I don't need Vega, so switched back to whey.

I have the Bamix Pro, my second Bamix and I have loved mine. I wore the first one out, like, worked it to death in about 13/15 years. So sorry your doesn't meet your expectations. I don't even own a blender.

It has a slight texture to it. I drink it almost daily after I work out and I find it to be the best protein drink I've used. I highly recommend it. I use the Vanilla flavor. I find it easy to drink.

I can't tell you whether it makes it a "better" blender. But I can tell you that I've had others and this one has great power for my protein shakes, which usually include ice, frozen fruit, veggies and powder. It is excellent, especially for the price.

It really has no taste. That is why I mix it with the other flavored protein powder. Also it doesn't dissolve well without a ball or something in the shaker. I have not tried it in the blender. That would probably work well.
