CytoSport Muscle Milk - Tell Me What You Think

Hey Guys, I just picked up a new protein drink called CytoSport Muscle Milk because I needed to change things up a bit.  It tastes great (I'm very picky), like a chocolate milk shake.  I'm not a real big fan of protein mixed into water but this stuff is actually pretty good.  However, before I fork overs some $$ to buy a larger amount (only bought the small 1 serving size to try it out), I wanted your opinion (good, bad, indifferent....) Here's the vitals http://www.cytosport.com/media/ProductSupplementalFactsImage /supp_mm_rtd_11_and_17oz.jpg In case that didn't work then here are some highlights: 11oz Chocolate Milk Ready To Drink Total Fat 11g (seems a bit high)     4.5g Saturated Cholesterol 5mg Total Carbs 11g     Dietary Fiber 2g     Sugars 5g Protein 22g Lots of Vitamins, Minerals and misc stuff I know little about but it is on the Supplement Facts. I trust you guys a lot more than their marketing material but if it is so-so or better then I'm going to order more. Thanks Shane

I've used some of this stuff.... I found it to have a little more soy than I was used to - but it is pretty rich.  I'd try some others as well - this one seemed to be higher in fat and make my intestines... a little more musical... than normal.  Gas-X strips were a must on this one for me. I"m a big fan of Myoplex, which is 310 cal and 43g of protein in a 16 oz tetrapak.  You can buy these at Sam's Club for a little over $2 each, and I use it as a meal replacement product.  I can sip a Myoplex for breakfast, and I don't get hungry until around noon.  Negative to Myoplex is that I need to brush my teeth after I drink it - it has a milky taste that seems to create a bad taste in my mouth after a few hours.   HTH - Brian
