Finaflex Clear Protein Premier - Churro Flavor - Review
Intro
Just recently discovered this protein powder after trying a sample I got at the gym. I wound up liking this so much I decided to pick-up a bag. I like to switch my protein powders and flavors up every so often so I bought a 1.5lb bag. I love this stuff but I'll probably switch to chocolate after this and then come back to this Finaflex Churro flavor. If you're sick of poor tasting protein powders with bad texture, then you'll be pleasantly surprised as Finaflex really steps up on flavor and texture.
Supplement Facts
The protein powder market is already incredibly saturated, there's so many different drinks out there and a dozen new ones come out every week. So why try Clear Protein from Finaflex? The type of protein used in this supplement is Finaflex's PentaPhase Instantized Protein Blend of WPC, Milk protein isolate, casein, WIP, and Hydrolyzed Whey protein. You may be used to Whey Protein and be wondering why would I want 5 different sources of protein? Whey protein sources digest quickly helping you heal post workout, the milk/casein protein digests slowly allowing your body to absorb the nutrients over time and also to help with recovery. For those using protein as a meal replacement it also helps keep you full longer.
Taste/| Mixing | Dosage
So I picked up the 1lb bag of Churro from Amazon, and it really is an amazing tasting protein. While I love churros, I couldn't tell you the last time I actually had one, but Finaflex did an amazing job capturing the flavor of a churro in this protein powder.
The serving size is a single scoop which winds up being about 22 grams of protein to 36 grams of actual weight, mixed with 6-8 ounces of water or milk. The texture is great, almost a milkshake texture. This powder mixes very well with water or milk, although I personally prefer it with coconut milk.
There is one shortfall to this protein powder when we look at the macros, it's a bit high in fat content. It's also a bit high in carbs at 7 grams when competitors have as low as 2 grams. It's still pretty good for you though as a scoop only comes out to 150 calories with 22 grams of protein so that's pretty strong.
Does it Work?
Finaflex Clear Protein makes a fantastic post workout drink. It will also keep you full if taking as a snack or meal replacement.
Price
Finaflex Clear Protein comes out to about $1.07 per serving which is actually lower priced than many others in this category. A 1.5lb bag on Amazon is going for under $20 with Free Shipping.
Any Side Effects
I had no side effects, no upset stomach, no bloating. If you have issues with soy, dairy or eggs you may want to look into a vegan protein.
Conclusion
Overall I'm pretty impressed, this is a pretty solid protein. The fact they've created a protein with such an amazing taste and texture, as well as having 5 different protein sources makes this a pretty solid choice and a pretty unique protein powder. While it is a bit high in carbs, fat, and even calories, it's a great tasting protein powder. There's no reason to guzzle down nasty chunky or watery protein powders when you have something like this.
