Look at the Profile on Cellucor being mostly WPI and WPC, so it will not be as thick

I would say its very similar to Giant Sports as far as thickness goes.

Well i am a PB Fiend at heart, so PB will always take the cake!

I would have to disagree with this - GS is quite thick, and from the samples I had, the Cellucor whey was much thinner

Did you have the CORE Series or the Super Sport? Super Sport is thinner (WPH/WPI) than the CORE series. (which has WPC and added gum's in the formula as well)

The GS Cookies and Cream sample i had a few days ago was as thin as the CORE series that i did try. i used the same recipe (6oz yogurt and 1 scoop of each) and it was identical to me.

For some reason the chocolate/vanilla GS i had was thicker than the cookies and cream? dont know why. Just what i observed.

how did those pretzels end up looking like chocolate when the sludge was a peanut butter colour? also, how many scoops of protein and how much greek yogurt did you use in that first PB marshmallow bowl? the consistency looks absolutely perfect!

Probabaly the lighting. I use a ton of lighting in my pictures to help enhance them and use the HDR function on my camera.

The Yogurt and protein is the same as the Cinnamon Swirl review above (6oz and 1 scoop whey)

Reviews later today:

Cinnamon Swirl Oatmeal No-Bake Cookies
Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes:

No-Bakes are Cooling as we speak.

Recipe for these:

2 Cups of Oatmeal
2 Scoops of Cellucor CORE Series Cinnamon Swirl
8g SF/FF Pudding Mix (Vanilla)
Splenda (i used 1/3 cup)
Dash of Greek Yogurt (to help bind)
1/2 cup of Milk (I use almond)
1-2 TBSP of Almond Butter (to help thicken as well)

^^ Wish i had a jar of Cinnamon Swirl Peanut Butter and Company that would of went well, but really took away from the taste of the protein.

Cinnamon Swirl No Bake Cookies

Taste

Outstanding. Talk about an easy 5 minute treat to cook in bulk. These are great and last a few days, i bulk cook things like this and take them to work with me because it makes it very easy to get down an easy meal when needed. Just divide how many cookies you make with the recipe and you can caluclate out your macros very easy with your protein/carbs/fat.
The Cinnamon Swirl was very present in here, and you could taste a touch of almond butter from the mix in agent, put those two together it was fantastic. Again i wish i had the Cinnamon Raising Swirl from PB n CO. that would of been awesome.

Recipe

2 Cups of Oatmeal
2 Scoops of Cellucor CORE Series Cinnamon Swirl
8g SF/FF Pudding Mix (Vanilla)
Splenda (i used 1/3 cup)
Dash of Greek Yogurt (to help bind)
1/2 cup of Milk (I use almond)
1-2 TBSP of Almond Butter (to help thicken as well)

This is too simple. Put all your dry in a bowl, then slowly add the wet, mix up and drop on parchment paper. I just let them sit outside on plates because of the colder weather, after 30 minutes these were golden!

Mixibility

0 Problems, Mixed with the oats/milk and the rest just went right into the mix again being a lighter powder, so there was again nothing to worry about here, worked very well.

Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes

Taste

This was hands down the best stack of pancakes I made, taste wise and fluffiness/texture wise. I tried a new method while cooking (which is in the recipe) and they came out BOMB. Rose more, and were super moist and fluffy. Due to the powder not being a casein or extra thick these will bake/cook a lot better (as most regular whey proteins do). Combine this with a decent recipe and you are cooking. The Cinnamon Swirl shines through but not as much as oatmeal or protein sludge did, you can taste the hint of cinnamon sugar, and that buttery taste from the bun of a hot cinnamon roll. Overall i would have to say

1. Oatmeal
2. Sludge
3. Pancakes were the best indication of getting the taste down on the product.

Recipe

120g Flour/Pancake Mix (Complete)
15g Cinnamon Swirl Whey
Splenda
Baking Powder (5g)
8g SF/FF Pudding Mix (Vanilla)
1 Egg
1 White (Stiffen this in a separate bowl by itself and fold into the mixture)
1/2 Cup Milk (I used almond)

Combine all Dry
Then add in the whole egg and milk, and MIX
in a seperate bowl mix the egg white by itself to a stiff peak (around 2-3 minutes) and SLOWLY fold into the mixture. This will help with moisture and overall texture and cook on a MEDIUM HEAT (low to medium is best) to prevent burning.

Mixibility

Pancakes came out perfect, no issues what so ever....

**jcsus** · 12-18-2012, 03:04 PM

I'm stealin' the pancakes recipe for sure!

Love it!

Cinnamon Swirl Muffins

Taste

This was dead on awesome. Just like the pancakes these came out super moist and were full of flavor. Again the buttery taste of a fresh made roll with cinnamon and sugar aftertaste is what the Cinnamon Swirl brings, which again reminds me just of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I added a touch of applesauce in this mix to help with the moistness, if I were doing this on my own I would of done a mashed banana but that would take away from aiding in seeing how well the flavor holds up in different recipes or things I do bake, so I excluded it for moistness and overall taste. Hard to say what was better this or the pancakes, but both literally melted in your mouth with how soft/fluffy they were.

1. Oatmeal
2. Sludge
3. Pancakes/Muffins
Tough to say but this is the top 3 of the things I have tried so far with Cinnamon Swirl

Recipe

80g Flour/Pancake Mix (Complete)
20g Cinnamon Swirl Whey
20g Applesauce
Splenda
Baking Powder (5g)
8g SF/FF Pudding Mix (Vanilla)
1 Egg
1 White (Stiffen this in a separate bowl by itself and fold into the mixture)
1/3 Cup Milk (I used almond)

Combine all Dry
Then add in the whole egg and milk, and MIX
in a seperate bowl mix the egg white by itself to a stiff peak (around 2-3 minutes) and SLOWLY fold into the mixture. This will help with moisture and overall texture
Spray down muffin trey and bake for 16-18 minutes at 350 degrees.

Mixibility

Picture says it all, no problems when mixing the batter and dispersing into the trey.

Cinnamon Swirl Cinnamon Roll's

Taste

Best creation to date, very simple and easy and took a few minutes to prepare. Overall the cinnamon sugar coating and the vanilla protein pudding swirled onto the rolls made them perfect. Popped in the freezer for 15 minutes to harden them a touch and came out perfect!

1. Rolls
2. Oatmeal
3. Sludge

Recipe

60g Flour/Pancake Mix (Complete)
20g Cinnamon Swirl Whey
3g Splenda
Baking Powder (5g)
8g SF/FF Pudding Mix (Vanilla)
1 White (Stiffen this in a separate bowl by itself and fold into the mixture)
Water to batter consistency

Combine all Dry
Then add in the Whipped Egg White and water, and MIX
Use small coffee mugs and make sure you coat them in cooking spray and evenly seperate batter to make as many cinnamon rolls as possible

Let them cool on a plate and cut in half to make mini-rolls or bigger rolls leave as is

Make protein pudding in a bowl (i used Greek Yogurt + Vanilla Whey) and then put into a ziploc bag and cut off the end and swirl around the finished product

Mixibility

No Problems

Jared, good to hear from you dude.
I had to LOL at your text messages earlier once i saw this message.

Thanks again man, just trying to be honest with a review.

**Verint** · 01-02-2013, 01:53 PM

Everything you made here looks hands down incredible. I will try out some of these recipes for sure.

I was wondering 2 things:
How would you rate its thickness?
How would you go by making these recipes (that require a certain batter thickness to work well) while using a casein powder which is a lot thicker than whey? The same amount of scoops or would you make a change?

I have already commented on the thickness multiple times, its a basic whey blend that is wpi/wpc therefore it wont be thick.
If you want a thicker protein look for bigger blends with added egg/casein.

I would not suggest baking with casein because the product will not rise, only use casein on things that you need to bind such as cheesecakes, for baking recipes that require rising -- IE Cookies, cakes, loaves use a thin poweder like a basic blend or isolate it will rise 100x more.

Bob,

Do the PB Marshmallow cookies taste as good as they look?

They taste like bread that has been sitting out for a few days and harder than cardboard...

.....

Give em a shot and let me know what you think. I think you will be pleased. Watch the microwave time, you want them a little soft when coming out or else they will get hard.

Try 35-40 seconds and adjust if needed.

Thanks Bob. Thanks again for the brownie recipe too. I am going to try it this weekend with a certain protein powder that I am reviewing.

Read my post above which i will quote below Dewey: Notice the bold

"If you want a thicker protein look for bigger blends with added egg/casein. Such as the Giant Sports you are using

I would not suggest baking with casein because the product will not rise, only use casein on things that you need to bind such as cheesecakes, for baking recipes that require rising -- IE Cookies, cakes, loaves use a thin poweder like a basic blend or isolate it will rise 100x more.

Since you are using a GS product, which is thicker and has a bigger blend, do not expect the cookies to rise as much as a regular whey blend (not to say they wont rise) ((WPI/WPC)) those with added casein and gums will be a lot thicker in nature and better for sludge/thicker consistency. This will not aid in your product to rise (Cookies, Cakes, Loaves etc) so you may not see your cookies rise much and they may flatten

I have tried making cakes and loaves with GS Samples yes they did rise, but not as much as some other whey blends with less thicker protein forms have. Just from my observation with cooking and trying various brands.

I tried the Cheesecake Recipe but used Chocolate Protein instead. I also cut it in half and put a mashed up banana with SF/FF Chocolate Syrup inbetween to create a Banana cream filling. Was very good!
