GNC Pro Performance Weight Gainer - Vanilla Ice Cream, 6 Servings, Protein to Increase Mass

It’s not good

Interestingly enough, this came in a plastic bag with a GNC logo, not a box or sealed bag. The actual container was still sealed at least. I've recently lost weight, and I wanna gain weight back, as well as build some muscle. I figured this would help because both the high protein and calories. First impressions are pretty good. Although the taste wasn't quite what I was expecting, and for some reason I noticed when I first blended it, it didn't taste as good as it did after it started to melt a bit, but maybe I put too much ice or something. I'll have to try it shaken up too to see if it tastes better that way or something. Taste isn't terrible, especially for protein powders. Once I was used to it, it was actually pretty good. If dry scooping is your thing as well, the powder actually tastes really good, and sweet, almost like a cake mix or something. Although, I know maltodextrin (the first ingredient) and bioengineered foods aren't the best for you, but seeing as I'm trying to gain weight, not lose it, I figured this might be right for me. But if you want something healthy, probably steer clear of this one. Plus, you get what you pay for.

I have struggled with gaining and keeping weight on all my life! My grandma bought this for me 20 years ago and I have always remembered it helped! I had just forgotten how GOOD IT TASTES!!! I purchased the strawberries and cream I think it's called and WOW ......oh WOW. I think the previous one lasted me about 2 weeks or less I can't say exactly because I drank it however I wanted as often as I wanted. I didn't use the full 4 scoops, I used one and a half and added milk. In the short amount of time I can it's working just like it did 20 years ago when my grandma purchased it for me. I bought a cup that you shook I guess a protein shaker is what it's called but don't have the patience for it. So I bought a Ninja Blast PortableBlender and it's all perfect!

This is the best vanilla flavor I have tried. Its not heavy for the stomach like other brands.

I have no review because I gave it to my grandson

This is one of the few weight gainers I've tried that I liked. There are various reasons for it. One of them is that I've had no side effects or issues with this one the way I have with others. The other is that while you're supposed to take 4 scoops a day, I was just doing 1 scoop a day and it still helped me gain 10 lbs that I really needed to gain as I lost 20 lbs due to acid reflux issues. However, one thing to keep in mind is I also increased my food intake, which I wasn't doing. But for me taking a scoop of this gave me that additional boost in calories per day. I also upped my exercise routine especially lifting weights more frequently to assist in the bulking up process. Friends have commented that I look healthier again. If there are any cons, this is expensive for someone like me. Wish it was more like $20, but still not horrible. I like this weight gainer.
