This stuff is great. I choose this particular gainer because it had a relatively whey high protein content so that I could replace my protein shakes with these.
Also, the quality of this gainer is a lot higher than most people think. Instead of using cheaper maltodextrin or dextrose like most gainers. This uses fructose. Even though fructose is considered a sugar and maltodextrin a complex carb, fructose only has a GI of around 35 while maltodextrin has a GI of about 120. That is almost double that of straight table sugar. This is much healthier for you.
Mixability
I highly recommend against trying to mix this with a spoon. It tends to clump up so I recommend either a shaker bottle (everyone should have one anyway) or a blender.
Taste
The taste of fructose is really sweet and was hard to get used to at first, so now I mix this with half orange juice (I got vanilla) and half water (to dilute the sweetness), and then it tastes perfect.
Price
One of the better price per grams of protein and # calories of the gainers on this website
Overall I highly recommend this product: High protein content, almost 50% low GI carbs (this had the second highest fructose content of any gainer on this website), and the price is right on. I'm putting on about 1-2 lbs a week with this stuff. A+
