"I normally buy Impact Blend, which I've found to be good stuff. Decided to give this a go for a change, and results seem to be good - I think I've been recovering better than normal, presumably because this has more slow-absorbing protein than pure whey supplements. \nThe flax seed does give it a kind of grainy texture, even though it mixes really well, but it's not a big deal. My only complaint is that the strawberry flavour (the only one i've tried) tastes pretty artificial - does anyone know what ingredients they flavour this with?"

I first bought the choc smooth and although I always use a blender to mix it was still dry and powdery and not big on flavour. The Strewberry is better and tastes better.\n\nIts packs a lot of protein and I had no stomach issues. \n\nI disagree with people who say taste is not important if you dont like it you would go elsewhere so reviews on taste are important.

"Really Enjoyed the flavour of this, mixes well enough for me in a shaker! no bloat!\n\nonly question i have is as stated below it would be would nice to know the breakdown of the proteins in this?\n\nthanks"

The total protein shake was my first protein shake. I thought it was OK. I ran out before I had the chance to order more so had to buy a mid price (30% more expensive than MP )one from Holland and Barrett. It was so disgudting I was gagging when taking it. It was a real releif to have the Chocolate Smooth shakes back when my order arrived. So relatively speaking.......it's gorgeous

I decided to do the V-Diet and I needed a supplement that provided my with both fast and slow releasing protein sources. I bought a bag of Chocolate Smooth to give it a try and I have to say I'm very impressed with it.\nThe taste is fantastic and I can't believe some people complain about the grittiness. It's hardly noticeable and if you can't handle it them buy something without the linseed/flax content.\nWould definately recommend this to anybody wanting to gain lean weight as it keeps you feeling full. 5 well deserved stars

"It seems to be a good quality protein supplement. It works for me like other proteins that I had before but it is cheaper. Also I had problems with digestion of some proteins before, but no problems with Total Protein, it digest very easly. If we talking abut taste - come on, what did you expect ??? This is not milk shake like Frijj or Yazoo, this is food supplement, sport nutrition. I tried many proteins in my life and the taste of Total Protein is one of the best. Mixability ?? Did you ever try to mix low quality whey concetrate ? Impossible without electric blender. TP mixes very easly even in simple shaker !\nI have only one "but". Why MP didn't give us information on webside about ratio of diferent kinds proteins in Total Protein ?? Why did they give this information in MP MAX Total Protein XS. I would like to know this. I hope that they don't put inside for example 80 % of milk proteins and the rest 20 % is impact whey, impact izolate and egg proteins (that would explain why MP Total Protein is so much cheaper than MP MAX MAX Total Protein XS) because if the do, it means this is rubbish supplement. Please MyProtein let us know about ratio of the protein sources in Total Protein. Thank you."

"Having read many of the comments left by customers, I find it unsual that alot of the comments are about the taste, the taste is not what the product is about but the results. If you wanted a milk shake go to Mcdonalds."

Tastes different than before. Chocolate flavour appears weaker.

"One of the key ingredients of this product is Flaxseed (sometimes known as Linseed), and to quote Wikipedia "Excessive consumption of flax seeds can cause diarrhoea." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flax) - so this might be why the gentleman who posted before me (see post below dated February 05, 2009) might have experienced toilet issues.\n\nI've tried 3 flavours and these are my favourites in order: the Vanilla (lovely!), Strawberry & Chocolate Smooth. I've also topped-up my shakes with extra ground/milled flaxseed and when I stopped I myself no longer got the toilet issues :)\n\nI've also been mixing into my shakes a single-serving some of MP's Superfood XS (unflavoured version https://www.myprotein.co.uk/formulas/mp-formulas/superfood-xs/) and this goes very well with it - hardly any discernable difference made to the 'Total Protein' shake's own flavour.\n\nObviously the texture grainier than 'True Whey' which I've also had before - but the grainy quality is down to the flaxseed content."

"I have been using total protein since I got it, the ingredients list is impressive and if you want to keep lean while adding muscle this stuff is great! especially as it has everything you need both before and after workouts as well as before bed!\n\nHowever having previously used more expensive branded products I have to say the taste isn't great and I think this is important especially if your taking it three or four times a day! however considering the price I wouldn't consider this to be a major problem, if anything its just a bit grainy!\n\nMy biggest problem with this product is that it has played havoc with my bowels I have had to stock up on imodium since taking this lol and that's not a good thing at all, I thought this might just be me being sensative to protein in general however I switched to another protein because I couldn't handle it anymore and the problems I had on MP Total Protein disappeared so I can only assume it was the MP total protein causing all of the problems.\n\nOverall this is not a bad product but if your a bit sensitive to any of the ingredients in this then be careful cause you will be using the toilet ALOT!"
