Flavor: Ice Cinnamon Bun
I find clumps of splenda sweetener. i am trying to avoid large amounts of splenda, because i believe it has some toxicity. I really did like the value of this protein but I question it because t's very fine and powdery unlike other proteins.
David says:
Flavor: Ice Cinnamon Bun
With protein I approach them as muscle fuel. Taste, mixability and cost are the factors I look at when buying a protein powder. I have been using the Cinnamon Bun Flavor.
When you first open the container you get a sweet smell of cinnamon. I used this powder in multiple different ways. My first taste was, moments after the box arrived, mixed with Hood Calorie Coundown 2% in a shaker cup. There were absolutely no clumps and it only took a few shakes to thoroughly mix the protein. The taste was light with more of a cinnamon roll batter taste than a cooked cinnamon roll.
I have since mixed Synmax with water only and in the mornings with 2Tbs of Heavy Cream and 8 oz of water. Both mixed easily with NO clumping. I have not needed to try a mixer, as the shaker cup works flawlessly. Synmax and coffee also effectively hit the spot. The final way I tried Synmax was mixed with Almond Butter to make my version of Sludge. Again, the protein mixed easily and gave the Sludge a nice sweet taste, making it a nice treat before heading to bed.
Let me take a few minutes to look at some of the details of the protein. Synmax contains 130 calories, 2g of Fat, 6g of Carbs and 23g of protein per serving. The protein is a blend of whey concentrate, isolate and Milk Protein Concentrate. This makes for a great lower carb mix of fast acting and slower acting proteins (milk protein is more casein than whey). In my opinion, a good all purpose protein product.
For the price you can not do much better. M&S lists Synmax at $39.99 for 1495 grams of protein. That works out to a little under $.03 a gram for the protein. This is one of the most affordable proteins on the market. You throw in the great taste and the mixability ( The powder is very fine and mixes well), and this is a must buy type product.

Flavor: Rocky Road
I wrote the following review after 2 weeks of daily use at 3 scoops per day
Nutritional Profile
With 23 grams of protein per 1 scoop (35 gram serving), MGN is right on par with most whey blends with a protein percentage of 65.7% by weight.
Smell/Mixability/Taste
The smell of Synmax isn’t strong or overpowering to the nose, but I get light chocolate notes with a slight nutty flavor. Upon scooping the whey in to a cup, the raw texture is slightly different than the whey blends I’m used to using but that may be due to the milk protein concentrate. The granules seem to be finer and denser than other whey products. Additionally, when I added the usual amount of water I use to make whey brownies, Synmax absorbed way more water than other brands, making the initial consistency thicker. However, after adding just a splash more water, it reached my desired pre-microwave consistency. Bottom line – Synmax is more absorbent than typical whey blends; I’d give it a B on smell/mixability
To taste Synmax Rocky Road in its entirety, I made a few shakes with water (although I usually prefer almond milk). As mentioned with the smell, the chocolate flavor is not overpowering and I pick up slight hints of nuts and even a twang of fluffernutter. Please note that the latter flavors aren’t particularly apparent unless you’re really looking for them. Rocky Road is a complex flavor due to the combination of ingredients involved, but I’d give MGN a B+ on taste given the flavor – I would have liked a little stronger flavor, especially in the marshmallow/nut department.
Versatility/Value
I mixed MGN in the following: hot coffee with a spoon, cold water with a spoon, cold water with a shaker, and in to protein brownies. Synmax mixed well with cold water in shaker and with a spoon. However, when I tried to mix it with a spoon in hot coffee, it clumped up a little bit and floated to the top. After some additional mixing and breaking up of the chunks, it stayed mixed without significant settling to the bottom of the cup. The protein brownie was a real stand-out with Synmax – the combination of the Rocky Road flavor and natural peanut butter made for an excellent brownie that didn’t dry out after I microwaved it. I’d give it an A+ on versatility.
At a cost of $39.99 + shipping for 5lbs from the M&S store, it’s right on par with the price of other whey protein blends. I would expect more than 65 servings at that price as most other whey blends offer 70-75 servings in a 5lb tub, but with the cost of raw materials ever-increasing, I’ll give MGN a B+ on value. A few more servings at the same price would bump it up to an A rating.
Thanks to everyone who read this review – hopefully it was helpful and please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions!

Flavor: Chocolate
Training for my 5k coming up. Saw great results and really helped with recovery. You cant beat the price, doesn't taste anywhere as good as the American Isolate but......I still think it's a good product.
Tanner says:
Flavor: Vanilla
I purchased one tub of chocolate, one of vanilla. The chocolate isn't terrible tasting (not impressed though), solubility is lacking in both. Vanilla tastes awful; in fact, I ended up giving it to my friend for $15 who, in turn, had to buy strawberry syrup to make it bearable as the taste is rather repugnant.
I would not recommend this product to anyone unless they're struggling financially.
Dan says:
Flavor: Vanilla
Saw the special on this product and figured I'd give it a try as I'm bulking up this winter. Can't beat the price, I tried the vanilla and mix it in a blender with 2 tablespoons on peanut butter and whole milk to boost my calories. Mixed well and has a smooth taste without being too sweet. Good stuff, I'd def pick this up again.
Rob says:
Flavor: Ice Cream Sandwich
I purchased two 5-lb. tubs, one of Ice Cream Sandwich and the other Chocolate. Well, I'm 1/3 through the first and I'm definitely not buying again. Mixability is great, I have no problems here as it mixes with little effort with just a spoon. However, it tastes like I'm drinking nothing but non-dairy creamer.. there's VERY little taste to it and I'm severely disappointed in MGN for this. I've been buying MGN protein (american ISO and isolate) for the past year and their product is usually a hit, but this is just bad. I'm hoping the chocolate isn't terrible..
Jeff says:
Flavor: Ice Cinnamon Bun
This is a decent protein for the price. The flavor was pretty good, but not the best I've tried (American ISO). It mixed OK in my blender bottle. I'd buy it again simply because of the price point.
Retread says:
Flavor: Rocky Road
The price per serving make this an excellent product. I have no complaints about it being a protein blend. If it had fewer carbs it would be near perfect for an everyday go to protein. The rocky road tastes good, mixes well, real smooth and as thick as you could possibly want. Don't like your shakes thick, add a little more liquid. I've always used ON 100% Whey but with out a doubt this will be included my rotation. Big Bang for the Buck!
Jeff says:
Flavor: Rocky Road
Got this on Black Friday deal for 39.99, awesome price! The taste of it is pretty darn good, the rocky road flavor is perfectly sweetened and goes down well. There was no clumps in the powder or bits left in the bottom of my shaker. For the price, you won't get much better IMHO
