any particular reason I am hitting these together? Not really, I just got samples of both from NashuaNutrition and have finished the last of the the Bariatric Fusion and since I only have 2 flavors from Optimum Nutrition to review so far, well here ya go…
All Bariatric Fusion Meal Replacement shakes are sweetened with stevia, Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey is sweetened with both sucralose and acesulfame K
Bariatric Fusion: Strawberry Shortcake
Surprisingly good, I'm not usually a fan of strawberry protein. This tastes a lot like Celebrate's Strawberry ENS with a little more flavor. This would probably even be ideal, but as I like to think of my shakes as ice cream/milkshakes, if only I hadn't been raised on Karl's strawberry ice cream in Fredericksburg. If you've ever had it you understand why its the ultimate standard
Bariatric Fusion: Orange Cream
A little disppointing due to my love of creamsicle. It's not bad, just kinda bland like the Syntrax Matrix Orange Cream. Maybe it could be pepped up with the Tropicana 50/50?
Bariatric Fusion: Mint Chocolate Ice Cream
I can honestly say I won't be sad to give up my Matrix Mint Cookie during pregnancy (Matrix uses sucralose and acesulfame K, the second has to be limited). This is very much like the Matrix only more mint less cookie. It's like blending the Matrix very well and adding a shot of creme de menthe syrup to it. Sooooooooo good!
Bariatric Fusion: Cinnamon Bun
I have mixed feelings on this one, it's very good, but I worry with extended use it might become sickeningly sweet. I do like it a lot and will probably buy a tub down the road when I get the mint chocolate chip ice cream. It's like a liquid Quest bar (by the same or similar name)
Optimum Nutrition - 100% Whey: Tropical Punch
At first sip, I did not like this, maybe because it was pink and I assumed it would taste like fruit punch? This is more like a strawberry colada, and very tasty, more flavorful than the Syntrax Nectar Carribean Cooler, but very similar.
Optimum Nutrition - 100% Whey: Rocky Road
A little bland, but that can easily be pumped up. My problem with chocolates are if one variation of chocolate in a line sucks, the whole line will not agree with me. having tried their rocky road, I am confident their caramel toffee fudge will be awesome (no sample available). This was very creamy and smooth. I enjoyed this drink a lot!
