Matrix2.0, Milk Chocolate, 2 Pounds

Syntrax has quickly become my favorite protein mix brand and their milk chocolate flavor is at the top of my list. Due to having diabetes, I needed a protein powder that had a bare minimum amount of carbs and sugar while still tasting palatable and being affordable. Syntrax Matrix definitely fits the bill.From strictly a price standpoint, it comes in at about $.63 per serving, which has 23g of high-quality whey protein. That's an excellent deal. I generally blend mine with a combo of ice and sugar-free soy milk, which seems to give a better texture and flavor than just using plain water. Per serving, it still comes out to well under $1 though, which is extremely favorable as compared to pre-mixed protein drinks and most protein powders.While there are quite a few mixes that have zero carbs these days, I haven't found many that I can stand to drink on a regular basis. At 3g of carbs per serving, I feel comfortable sacrificing the miniscule number of carbohydrates it has for how good it tastes. I definitely find myself drinking it more regularly than I did when I tried to stick to mixes with zero carbohydrates. The addition of 1g of fiber is also nice, as it seems most protein mixes lack any fiber at all. It helps to improve the consistency as well as offset the effects of the 3 whole grams of carbohydrates.The ziploc-type bag definitely takes up way less room than the huge, half-empty jars that most protein mixes come in and I have not had any problem resealing the bag over and over again. All in all, it is convenient, tastes good, has the quality ingredients I look for and is definitely affordable. Hard to go wrong with this brand.

Awesome brand and delicious

I was previously using the orange dreamsicle version of this product but, either they are out of it now or have discontinued it so, I switched to the chocolate. It really does taste great! I have a shake for lunch every day at work for multiple reasons. One, it's cheaper than anything else that would get me this much protein. Two, it's quick and easy so I have more time to relax. Three, with the three types of protein (fast, medium and slow-release), it gives me the energy I need to get through the day. It also mixes very easily. I use way less water than it recommends and it's always smooth and lump-free. I use a blender bottle with a wire whisk ball. Good stuff! I'm sure any of the other flavors are just as good considering how good the orange dreamsicle was and how good the chocolate is.

As someone who suffers from cold sores from time to time, I found that I was unable to take most protein supplements without triggering an outbreak. After doing some research I learned that this was because of the high arginine content in most protein powders, which is basically like fuel for a cold sore. I also learned that the amino acid lysine has the opposite effect, and so began my search to find a protein powder with a high lysine to arginine ratio. This was no easy task, as many protein powders don't actually list the amino acid breakdown on their label, but I finally found the Syntrax Matrix proteins which have 3x more lysine than arginine! Yay! I have been using this daily for about 6 months with no issues. Hopefully this helps someone else out there with the same problem!!For everyone else, this is still an awesome protein powder that mixes well and tastes much better than others I've tried. I use a blender bottle with almond milk and it mixes really well (sometimes I have a hard time getting powders to dissolve in almond milk). Sometimes I add a tablespoon of peanut butter for higher calorie days and it's delicious! Great value too, especially on Amazon. Will continue to buy for as long as it is available!!

This is hands down the best whey protein powder for the money on Amazon and elsewhere. For the servings/protein and product weight, you're already paying ~$10+ less than a typical 5 lbs jug of protein powder. I expected the quality to be dimished, and the taste to be chalky and bland; however I was pleasantly surprised. It doesn't have a 'rich' chocolately taste, but that is due to the 3g of carbs and minimal sugar (lack of Aspartame).One of the few powders I've successfully mixed with water, and had an excellent taste. I haven't tried it with milk, but the flavor profile could only get better. Mixes well without clumping. I'm able to drink this 5-6 times a day (2 servings in water) without difficulty. Fully recommend if you're doing any type of Keto (especially the Apex Predator Diet from chaosandpain). I can take 10 servings throughout the day while only taking in ~30g of carbs which is around where you want to be for ketosis.

I have tried other powders and I am always left with unmixed powder floating around in my shake. This one mixes well and has a very good flavor. I have prepared it with water, milk and almond milk. Very good!

My favorite been using it for years

I have used Syntha 6 for about 1.5 years now, and it's GREAT. I'd give that 5 stars too. While syntha 6 tastes a little better than a lot of protein powders, it's also 200 calories per serving. This stuff tastes almost as good as syntha 6. Honestly, if you added 80 calories of taste to this, it would probably be even better. That's like adding a reeses cup per serving, which I can certainly do without. More protein and more servings per cost than syntha 6, and way less calories.I haven't had a chance to long term test it, and if this product lets me down, I will come back and revise this review. I usually use only one protein as a supplement, and I can tell when the product is inferior because DOMS lasts way longer. Will keep you posted.
