Building Blocks Protein Powder in Cupcake Batter
Building Blocks Protein Powder in Cupcake Batter
I'm having a grouchy pouch day. (Have I mentioned how much I hate the use of that term? I have a grouchy pouchy, wah wah.) But, I am. With that in mind, a creamy protein drink sounded quite appetizing this afternoon.
I tried Building Blocks new line of protein powder that they just sent me - Building Blocks Protein Powder [Cupcake Batter].
103 calories, zero sugar,1 carb, 25 grams of protein -- that's a super choice for any part of your WLS post op diet.
The label suggests adding one scoop to 8 ounces of water or milk. I went crazy and had two scoops in 16 ounces of cold water, in a Blender Bottle. As usual, I like to try new protein powders in ONLY water, to get the real taste, no adding anything in the first taste test.
I shook the cup for a while, and took a sip. I got a clump up my straw. Normally, this would have sent me to the blender to whip the crap out of it, or to the sink to dump it out. I didn't. It was so sweet, I kind of enjoyed that little clump. I know, eww, right?
The flavor is "Cupcake Batter," so I guess I was "It's supposed to be batter. It's batter. Batter is like this."
Then I shook the living daylights out of the bottle and? It was perfectly smooth.
The protein smelled like a sweet buttery vanilla. It tastes just the same, and...
IT IS DELICIOUS IN WATER. Alone. NO DOCTORING IT UP. In fact I drank the entire thing in minutes. That's some good protein powder, and considering it has very few ingredients, I am impressed that it tastes that good. (Some of the proteins that I have adored have a laundry list of ingredients and non-hydrogenated creamers and this and that...)
More, please.

From BB:
"Currently we do not have samples in the protein shakes. This was done to keep production costs down so we could keep this product affordable for you. We are researching alternative methods of sampling to see if we can find a way to make this happen in the future, but please note this is currently not available. Don't forget, orders over $100 are eligible for free shipping. Order your vitamins and protein powder at the same time and save on the shipping. For a little over $1 a serving this is a great way to get in 25 g of protein and 3 g of fiber!"
Granted I do have Building Blocks Multivitamins and the Iron chewables, and they are awesome!!
