Essential BCAA 2:1:1 Powder Reviews

Good taste, mid effectiveness, the worst packaging
2 Mixability: Effectiveness:Effectiveness: I had much better BCAA with the same nutritional fact and I felt it was more effective. Will need to use the whole bag to se if it changes. Might need to adjust the daily intake. Taste and mix: the taste is good and not on a sweet side, so its good. Mixing with cold instantly. Packaging: This is the worst packaging for the BCAA powder like this. Imagine a Zip lock bag filled with the infinitesimal powder, filled for about 35%, paired with the world's tiniest scoop! So you need put your hand all the way down + find the tiniest scoop with the shortest handle ever. If you want to use it at the gym, everything will be blue (mine is Raspberry), your hands, your shaker, your clothes, your locker.....everything!Goes Well With:Water

Report this reviewvery good.
5 Mixability: Effectiveness:Honestly, I think it's still too early to talk about efficacy. I took it for about a week when I go to in gym every day. It tastes very good when drinking water and is very easy to mix with water.

5 Mixability: Effectiveness:I tried watermelon this time (usually gummy fish), it’s perfect! Taste is on point and it mixes well every time. I add it to my Whey & Almond Milk shake, so good! Recently started adding some to my fruit smoothies, no surprise it works there too. I have even started making a blender bottle for my girl that’s just BCAA & Creatine and she loves the taste too.Goes Well With:The Whey (or Isolate)

Report this reviewPeach Rings tastes great! Excellent value
5 Mixability: Effectiveness:I've tried quite a few flavours of the BCAA's from MyProtein and I would say Peach Rings tastes the best. I had Blue Raspberry recently but I wouldn't recommend that flavour. In general, great value for this price point and it doesn't taste as sweet and sugary as some other brands :)

Report this reviewTaste and Smell are awful
1 Mixability: Effectiveness:I got the watermelon flavor, and let me tell you this is probably the worst BCAA tried. The flavor is very bland, and the smell is just awful like it has an old dirty smell if you don't t drink it right away. Never getting BCAAs here again. Goes Well With:Nothing.

Report this reviewGood Intra Workout
4 Mixability: Effectiveness:Pretty good taste, more like a bubble gum than a Rainbow Sherbet, but really what is the taste of Rainbow Sherbet. Mixes well, as is effective.

5 Mixability: Effectiveness:I thought the taste was really good. It mixes decently, I would recommend using a frother. I’m not sure if I necessarily “felt” any results but I’m not sure anyone would!Goes Well With:Water, I added mio to make it extra sweet 🤷♀️
