Black Forest Gateau

I have Crohns plus a fast metabolism. I find it really hard to gain weight. I have incorporated this into my diet and very much enjoy it. I bought the black forest gateau which tastes just like chocolate and cherries. I will buy again In another flavour, I like to put peanut butter In to boost it and It doesn't go well with the flavour I have chosen however I do like the flavour.

Great taste, easy to mix, not lumpy or gritty, gives you a full feeling and makes recovery better

Okay, so I bought the 'Black Forest Gateau' flavour because people said it tastes like Bakewell Tart and I've been addicted to Bakewell Tarts most of my life! And it is the exact flavour. BUT with the almond frangipan flavour ranked up to 11. I find that adding a big glob of peanut butter [I use Meridian's 'natural brand] helps to take the edge off and also to thicken it as for a weight gainer it has a VERY weak texture and stays quite watery compared to other [almost thickshake] brands. The tub is huge and will last a long time for the price and I don't think it would be possible to get better. The texture is a little rough and not completely smooth but that is because they use actual oat flour [which will NEVER be smooth] in the mix for the carb element instead of 'mega doses of pure sugar' that most weight gainers tend to go with. My power levels within a fortnight were extremely good in their progression, it feeds well. I should add that when I add a new supplement I make it the only change to my regimen for at least a month in order to make sure it is that supplement that I am recording benefits from rather than adding a few at a time and then claiming one specific one doesn't work! This will now become my 'weight gainer of choice' though I may experiment with other flavours. I've only knocked the one star off due to the frangipan being a bit over the top! But all in all a fantastic product and I would not hesitate to recommend it.

I bought this product as I have been looking for a new weight gainer to try. I have tried the bulkpowders/myprotein/Huel brands as well as ultimate mass etc and this is actually surprisingly one of my favourites! I've read alot of reviews saying the Black Forest tastes like Bakewell Tarts, which I can see why however that isn't bad at all! Basically it tastes of artificial cherry with a cakey/cocoa mix. It's not too sweet and it mixes well. I do use a blender out of convenience in the morning. Also I've read of gritty sediment, this is actually fine oats and once you give the shaker a mix, it blends back in to the shake, I don't see a problem! If like me you are unsure, it's worth it in my opinion! Give it a try

Have been using since 20th Jan. I am a vegetarian not vegan so this fits the bill. I think this is the cheapest bulking product that I've found minus the sugar and rubbish so that's a big plus. Everyone will have different results but I train 5 times a week and have seen my weight go up from around 14.7st to 16.5st. Not saying that's down to this product....I take two servings per day so 6 scoops so that may be helping. I also lost a fair amount of weight prior to this year so I am at my natural weight now and looking to bulk up and build additional muscle before cutting. Overall... Great product... decent taste... for extra thickness and calories mix with milk and shake well!

first off this taste like dr pepper and didnt like it that much, the texture is horrible and thick, it doesnt mix well at all and even when you blend it, it still feels like ur drinking water and sand, it made me gag several times initially when i first tried it. The best way i found to make this managble to drink was to use about 300ml of cold water, as soon as you add water shake for about 1 min straight, if you dont shake enough there will be thick clumps of powder that havent mixed, as soon as you stop shaking down it straight away fast as possible, this is very cheap and good value which is why it has 3 stars and not 1, this shake is not enjoyable to drink but it has good macros and i use it post workout

Great price for tub 5kg and the black forest flavour is to die for, a little bity but give it a good shake and it's descent train well and weight goes well depending on scoopes 2 is thin 3 is good but a little thick in my opinion. Still tastes great though water or skimmed milk goes well with it I've done all full fat water and skimmed depends on your training programme

Scoop was broken in the tub, cannot find the missing bits so unable to consume the protein.
