MRM Metabolic Whey's French Vanilla tastes incredible!
I use my MRM vanilla in my oatmeal every morning and love it! I add raspberries, strawberries, blueberries or banana and it is just like a treat for me. I have yet to use it in a shake, because I want to save it for my oatmeal. LOL.
One of these days I want to get some of those flavors that WDN posted about here.
Until then, I have a bunch of MRM chocolate to finish off, which is great, with just water and tastes like chocolate milk.

I drink only plain flavours like vanilla or chocolate. So if ONLY the taste that's good about musclemilk and not the nutrition content (18g FAT! and only 32g protein from a 75g scoop) then i wouldnt be interested.

Oh yeah! MRM in oatmeal is the best. I'm fond of the cottage cheese in oatmeal now too seeing as I've been out of whey for over a week now. But I have to add in some sweetener with the cottage cheese and there isn't as much protein.

I don't think we're all as ignorant as to think that all fat is bad fat and all carbs are bad carbs. But the primary purpose of the stuff is to provide you with protein, right?

Its to provide you with a well rounded drink that gives your body what it needs definetly after a hard work out. i notice a huge difference when i take muscle milk right when i wake up in the morning, keeps me going. my best advice, get an order from sups101 try it out, they are by far the cheapest place to get it. just if you are going to try it, go out on a limb and try something like rootbear float or cookies and cream. get a different taste instead of chocolate and vanilla.

"Primary Purpose"
Primary purpose of eating whey protein supplements are for.....
Finish that statement for yourself. I do it for the result...not the "protein" or the "carb count".
As I mentioned in another post. A paradigm is a perspective, not necessarily reality. Here's what I say : "if 18g of fat in MuslceMilk make me huge and cut, I'm all for it!"
What I'm encouraging is to think for yourself and to approach all information with an open mind. Incredible things can happen.

But the surely you don't think it is the Muscle Milk that is making you huge and cut? Your complete diet (of which the musclemilk is a part) as well as your training, rest, cardio component, other supps, etc are what will make you huge and cut. It's a total package.
I think what mhartman and I are wondering is why would someone choose musclemilk, with its added calories, carbs and fat, when you can just as much protein from your basic whey, with out the added stuff and the extra cost?
Not trying to bash a product, or say all fat is the same...just wondering.

How about Cytosport's "complete Whey" ? Its cheaper, is it a good protein?

jenng - absolutely correct. The MuscleMilk and any other supplements are ON TOP of sound nutrition and training methods. Good to clarify. 
From my understanding of what Cytosport was aiming for was the way that the proteins and other ingredients acted once in the body. From my conversations with the formulation staff, their intent is to make it as close to human requirements as possible while taking advantage of the GH release, etc.
There are many good whey proteins on the market and MM is one of the ones I use. Like anything nutrient, food source, or supplement, I cycle them all. Just a minor shift in the nutrient ratios or time of day will change the bodily response.
For example - for some phases I'll eat chicken for breakfast instead of eggs or fish. Other phases I'll do the same as mda mentioned....I'll take my shake in the morning after my water and lemon for the liver. There are many different methods. I suggest everyone to use what works for them and approach all information as information, not gospel. I also cycle my micronutrients. It'll a global approach as I find nothing is segregated (why cycle workouts and not food? Cluttered mind, cluttered life. etc)

Blitzseth - good question. I've adopted philosophies and techniques from other areas in the industry and simply applied it to nutrition. Tom Venuto has made this technique for macronutrient cyling easily accessible in his ebook (Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle).
After my personal research into micronutrients, I've just applied the same theory but in much more detail. I have yet to come out with my material because it assumes some particulars (quality of the nutrients must be high and potent, all manufactured to pharmaceutical GMP standards, etc). Because I've only found this in one company, the exposure is limited.
Now I'm by no means a formal scientist and thus I rely on the lab research by them. I take that information and utilize it in such a way that seems to work.
Bottom line - calorie cycling and macronutrient cycling can be found in Toms ebook.
Micronutrient cycling is about being creative and by understanding the impact in the body.
Helpful?

Probably should add this under reviews. It was a good read.
