Gaspari Real Mass: Rich Vanilla Milk Shake Review

Gaspari's Deserusan gave me some Real Mass (Rich Vanilla Milk Shake) and Myofusion (Chocolate/Strawberry) to review with my friend. I decided to take some Gaspari Real Mass today after spending 3 hours at the gym and not eating for 5 hours because of bad timing.

So what is Gaspari Real Mass?

For those athletes desperately trying to put on quality mass, the question will undoubtedly arise, "Am I consuming enough calories?" If you are having trouble packing on quality mass despite a rigorous workout schedule, then more than likely the major consideration will be whether or not more calories are needed in your diet. For this reason, Gaspari Nutrition's research and development team is proud to present REAL MASS

The key to gaining quality skeletal muscle mass and body weight is supporting active recovery by eating frequent well balanced and calorically dense meals throughout the day. By doing this you are maintaining a steady stream of important macronutrients such as quality proteins and carbohydrates throughout the day so your muscles can grow. However, the major downside to eating high amounts of carbs is that you run the risk of putting on unsightly fat. Isn't the goal to ultimately perform better in the gym and look your absolute best? We think so.

The Gaspari R&D team took this common weak spot in most commercial weight gainers seriously and saw fit to utilize the powerful insulinotropincompound 4-HYDROXYISOLEUCINE. This potent amino acid analogue has the power to effectively utilize one of the body's most powerful hormones; insulin. It is insulin which helps drive important macronutrients (especially glucose) more efficiently into yourstarving muscles to facilitate growth and recovery.

This is why athletes who use REAL MASS notice increases in muscle belly size right out of the gate. If your body cannot properly metabolize glucose, you undoubtedly run a much greater risk of becoming fat! What's the point of taking a weight gainer if you are just going to gain more fat then muscle? Ther is no point to it, which is why Gaspari Nutrition harnessed the power of TSI Health Sciences' patent pending material standardized for 4-HYDROXYISOLEUCINE to help facilitate the proper delivery of our unique fast and long acting carbohydrate blend. Along with a huge dose of Gaspari's wildly popular MYOFUSION Muscle building Protein Blend and the greatest taste and textrure in the industry, REAL MASS is sure to become a major component in every successful mass gaining program.

Here is a few pictures of the profile and the instructions on the back of the sample packet.

I tried the Gaspari Real Mass Rich Vanilla Milk Shake sample in about 6 OZ of Fat Free Milk. The sample packet contains only 1 scoop out of a 3 scoop serving, which is perfect for me since I am cutting and losing weight. I mixed everything in a standard body building shaker.

1. SMELL – Forgot to smell the powder because I was getting impatient and wanted a pre-meal meal before my actual meal of steak and zong-zi.
   
2. MIXABILITY – I gave the shake several good pumps and as I was drinking, I noticed 2-3 small clumps... But these clumps did not have the nasty bitter and chemicalness of the usual protein shakes. It clumps can only be described as something similar to ice cream sugar crystals. I could feel a "sugary" crunch like biting into something sweet and it was a very pleasant experience. I would actually like it to be MORE clumpy for a more milk shake like mix.
3. CONSISTENCY – This shake is in between the thickness of Nitrocore 24 and Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey. It isn't the thickest shake I've ever had (which was S.A.N Infusion) but it wasn't the thinest either (ON 100% Whey). Truthfully, it reminded me of melted ice cream consistency. Which rocks!
4. TASTE – Forget all the protein reviews I've ever done in my life. This is now my #1 favorite protein. I thought S.A.N Infusion would be unbeatable in flavor, but this shake has brought it to a whole different level. There was NO chemical aftertaste, NO chemical flavor, and NO weird guessing on what the flavor would be. Game over, this is the protein flavor of the year. It was so good, I bought 4 tubs of Myofusion (Real Mass is formulated with Myofusion). The only real way to describe this, as a natural vanilla flavored shake that you buy from fast food restaurants. I've been drinking Nitrocore 24 (Chocolate/Cookies N Creme), ON 100% Whey Protein (Chocolate), Body Tech Wheytech 24 (Banana, Chocolate Mint, Chocolate) , and various other protein, but nothing has come close to the flavor of this protein. Great  job Gaspari! I am completely blown away by the flavor.
5. INGREDIENTS – Personally I would not take weight gainers, but this profile is top notch. Also with it coming from Gaspari, you know you are getting a SOLID product.

Recommendation? Pick up some of Gaspari's newest protein. You won't be disappointed.
