Muscle Milk Light Protein Powder, Cookies 'N Crème, 25g Protein, 1.65 Pound

I've been a fan of muscle milk for a few years now, but I've always picked up the individual cartons to drink post-workout. I decided I wanted to buy some of the powder version so I can save myself some money, and mix it up anytime I need. I was hesitant to try the Light version, because normally "light" anything has that sickingly sweet fake sugar taste to it. I took a chance though, and am pleasantly surprised at how good this tastes mixed either with water or milk. That's another point that makes me happy - I can mix it with water! I have the Metabolic Reset shake powder mix that you can supposedly mix with water, but it tastes HORRIBLE - I can only mix it with milk to make it bearable for me to drink. I'm so happy that I can make this literally on the go whenever I want to - I just keep a scoop or two of the powder in my mini blender bottle, and when I'm ready to drink it I just fill it up with water and shake. So easy! As with MOST shake mixes, the powder has a bit of grittiness to it, but I actually really like it. I enjoy having some texture in my shake, and MM dissolves a lot smoother than other mixes I've tried (the grittiness is barely there). I want to try this in a blender with ice and a banana next, I bet it will taste yummy. And one last thing - Cookies n'cream is BY FAR my favorite flavor of MM.(I haven't compared Light to the regular version of MM Cookies N'Cream powder, so I can't say which is better at this point, but I do plan to and I will update this review once I've done that.)

I ordered online without ever seeing this in person...did not pay enough attention to the nutrition facts I suppose. The packaging implies you're getting 25 grams of protein for every 100 calories, when in reality you are getting 12 grams of protein for every 100 calories. Had I realized this, I probably wouldn't have bought it, as I get 25 grams of protein for 180 calories with my EAS Soy Protein powder.This does taste MUCH better than the EAS powder, but it's still nothing phenomenal to me. Maybe it tastes more like a milkshake, as other reviewers have said, if you actually mix it with milk, but as someone trying to cut calories and add protein, I mix it with water.Overall: Decent taste, good price from Amazon on this, but misleading packaging.

I was a little apprehensive about getting into the whole "protein powder" thing. I am a 28-year old female runner, and bulking is the last thing a runner needs to do. I've been experiencing a lot of uncharacteristic soreness in my legs post-run, and thought a protein deficiency might be to blame. The soreness hasn't gone away completely, but I am maintaining my "runner's body" (NOT bulking at all), and the soreness has definitely declined. I could just be getting older. I was also extremely pleased with the flavor! I have heard that protein can taste off and have an unpleasant grainy texture. This product dissolves completely and is DELICIOUS.I can't stress that enough. It's just great. I will be continuing to purchase this in the future.

Ordered the vanilla creme version of muscle milk light and thought it was delicious so wanted to try another flavor. Wasn't sure why cookies and creme cost a few dollars more, but tried it anyway. Figured I wouldn't know until I tried it.Verdict: Not as good as vanilla creme or chocolate and the cookies are a little annoying and hard to clean out of the cup. It does dissolve very easily in water like the other muscle milk light powders and had a good taste (no funny after taste), but it's not the best of the flavors in my opinion. For the price and flavor profile, I probably wouldn't buy this flavor again.

When I bought this "light" variety of Muscle Milk (MM), I learned the hard way that there is a very big difference in taste and smell between "light" and the MM lean muscle protein that is not labeled "light." Uck! The "light" variety tastes and smells horrible! I finally dumped it all into the garbage. And you know what? The scoop is smaller! Perhaps that is how they reduce the fat. ?

This tastes and smells like baby formula, which I am NOT a fan of. May work for others but not for myself. I ended up giving it away to a friend.

I'm really picky when it comes to protein drinks. I don't like them chunky and I don't like an odd after taste. With that being said I absolutely love the Muscle Milk Light. They mix really well and smoothly in a blender bottle. I use 8-10 ounces of cold water for one scoop (for morning breakfast replacement) or 16 ounces of cold water for two scoops (post workout before bed). Here are the flavors I have tried so far in the light version:Banana Creme - I like this flavor simply mixed with water but I love this flavor mixed with water and a spoonful of PB2 powdered peanut butter or PB2 peanut butter with choloate.Cookies 'N Creme - this tastes good but it's way too sweet for me.Cake Batter - this is soo good. I like it mixed with just water but I also enjoy it with 1 or 2 spoonfuls of butterscotch instant pudding powder.Just an FYI - In the regular Muscle Milk the Blueberries 'N Creme is like drinking a blueberry muffin. I also enjoy adding a spoonful of white chocolate instant pudding powder. Makes it really rich in taste. TheChocolate Malt is my favorite flavor ever and tastes like drinking Whoppers candy. :)

i thought i was going to hate the flavour as i hate the cookies and creme ice-cream, but this was delicious. it is great and i lost 8 lbs doing a liquid diet with this shake before surgery. i highly recommend this brand as the sugar is only 1 grams and that is key in losing the weight and the protein amount is great keeps you full
