ATW Cinnamon Bun Isolate

[The_Grinder]

So I was jacked to get my 5 lb tub of Allthewhey's Cinnamon Bun Isolate. I open it up, and it is in chunks. Very messy to scoop as it wouldn't level out because of all the chunks. Anyway, I didnt think much of it at the time. Well I put it in my shaker cup, and it mixes horrible. I mixed it with skim milk, and it tasted like the first half of the serving was just milk. I got further down, and I started to taste it. It was good, but there still wasnt much of a taste. (My shaker cup is already sticky as fuck by this point, and so are my fingers.) Then I get to the best part. The last bit of the shake is all foam and bubble type stuff. :dunno: What's the deal? Anyone else have this problem? This is my 4th different ATW flavor and I've never had this problem before. I was even thinking it could've been sitting in cold temperature on it's way with UPS. Could that cause it??

I would definitely call them up and ask for a replacement. Sounds like the protein has been denatured in the process of making it or shipping.

[FitnessBrat]

Definitely call them. I am very picky about the way protein mixes, and my cinnamon bun sample did not mix like that at all.

[The_Grinder]

I'm calling today. I tried mixing it one more time in a better shaker cup and it was the same way. I can tell it tastes good but the last few gulps are like cinnamon flavored soap with all the bubbles. :wacko:

yea, shouldn't be like that. especially isolate.

I called them and they are sending me out another tub along with a return label for me to send the other one back for testing. The guy was trying to tell me it was normal for protein to foam and bubble. :wacko: I have not once experienced that. Anyway, props to ATW for the customer service but they aren't exactly professional on the phone. I told the guy my last name, and he was like, "hold on a second... you guys shut up im talking to a customer..... sorry about that. Whats your last name again?" :rofl:


I know I am returning this protein but I have two workout days in a row coming up so im using it till the new stuff gets here. wrong or right, i could have bought ON 100% instead of this, and i need my protein somehow.

yea, isolate should be doing what you describe.

[The_Grinder]

Haha I figured out when I mix it in a glass with a spoon instead of shaking it in a shaker cup it doesnt foam at all. should I still send it back or should i call and cancel that and start mixing instead of shaking??

[SonofBone]

If it is in chunks, I'd send it back. Sounds like moisture got to it or like Bouncer said, it could've denatured.

Hey, good luck w/Chelsea. :rofl:

does it mix very easy with a cup and spoon? no chunks?

mixing any protein in a shaker cup will cause foam.

you might want to be sure about these things before giving the sponsor a bad review bro. :)

[The_Grinder]

It mixes fairly well with a cup and a spoon. Just a few small chunks.

I understand that some foam will be caused in the process of mixing in a shaker cup, but it has never been even close to this much. You would have sworn I mixed the protein with soap. I have used that shaker cup with at least 10 different tubs of protein and ive never seen anything like it.

Maybe I did make a mistake, as the ATW guy told me after the second time I called that there are certain flavors that produce more foam than usual: Cinnamon Bun, Peaches and Cream, and Vanilla. But I had never heard of it happening and I just wanted to be sure. But I don't really think I was giving the company a bad review at all. I simply noticed something weird going on with the protein and thought I'd ask about it. I even mentioned that I have ordered from ATW in the past and never had it happen before. I am a loyal customer to ATW as of late. Perhaps I shouldnt have put the thumbs down icon on the subject. :dunno:

i was kinda just giving you a friendly jab. Isolate should mix very easy without chunks.

I think the temperature has a lot to do with it. It was in the 20's the morning it was brought here on the truck. Then it was sitting outside in the cold for a few hours before i got it. To top it off I live in a house without central heating so in the kitchen where i keep it, its like 38 degrees. im wondering if that isnt playing with the texture.

[Bouncer]

lmao, next your going to tell us that you left it in your car with the heat on full blast and it reached a temp of 250 degrees.

not exactly ideal settings. :P
