I was so excited to try this when I got it in the mail today, that I dropped a scoop of the powder into my water and rushed to my university (I was in a hurry, as it was the first day back with new classes, bad traffic, and parking). After class, I headed to the gym. I had tried it in the car, and was blown away by the flavor. It was so tasty and refreshing that I wanted to drink the whole thing like a regular drink, but I knew I should save it for during the workout.

I will say that as I drank this throughout my workout, I did feel pretty good compared to other workouts I've had. I don't know at this point if it was solely the BCAA powder that my muscles feeling good after a lot of work, but drinking this during my intense upper body workout was a heck of a lot more rejuvenating than just plain old water.

Now the whole time I had been telling my guy friends about this, I was telling them the wrong flavor! I didn't realize as I had walked out of my house that Amazon had sent me the wrong flavor.... I got Mango. Now, I'm not actually disappointed by this. My first time trying this product, I was completely in love with the flavor. But I didn't read the label. What I had actually ordered was Blood Orange...! At least I know I like mango....

On here it says that mango is like, 50 cents more expensive than the blood orange? Give or take a few cents. Whatever. I guess I'll order blood orange again and hope they send the right one. But as of now, your girl is drinking mango flavor and loving it. I seriously wish I could drink this all day, but that is not the cost effective way to use this.

I will say that in terms of potency in flavor, I used the maximum recommended amount of water to mix this with (it says anywhere between 8-16oz, so I did ~16-17oz) and the flavoring is pretty strong. If you don't like this sweet, you can always dilute it more... I think I'll be doing that a little bit more to see just where my taste buds enjoy it most.

Don't like the lemon lime flavor. Too sweet with a powerful chemical aftertaste some things with a lot of non-nutritive sweetener have. Before you hit me with the 'stop being a baby and drink your BCAAs, you take them for results not for pleasure' speech, let me say this; yes, plain BCAAs taste terrible, that's why people are willing to pay 3x the money for a formula that provides the benefit of the supplement, but also has a pleasing taste. If you're a hardcore gym freak that is happy to choke down heaping tablespoons of bitter ass, unflavored BCAA powder for $10 a tub, respect. But if you're not and pay $20-$30 for that same product, it had better hold up to some criticism on taste. This does not, in my opinion.
It is one of the easiest mixing I've tried.
For some reference, BCAA powders I do like: AminoX watermelon is my fav (I tend to like most BSN flavors for BCAAs and pre-workouts), MP BCAA 3:2:1 blue raspberry is pretty good but sweet, MP Amino1 fruit punch is ok but sweet.

I really enjoy the taste of the Mango flavor. I have been trying to use BCAAs since I've started lifting heavier but haven't found a flavor or brand that I enjoyed till now. I really wish red 40 wasn't added into it but it's something I'll sacrifice for taste. Do they really even need to add coloring to it? Does it add any flavor that I don't know of?
I will sometimes sip on this during leg days and finish it after because those are such intense days for me and water doesn't cut it sometimes. I will also drink it in the evening because I find it works best for me to have it twice a day and one of those being in the evening about 1-2 hours before bed. On arm days I drink it after the workout and in the evenings as well.
I do know they have a Xtend Free BCAA but I don't like the aftertaste stevia has. I know my taste buds are just too picky.

This stuff mixes very easily (much easier than any whey protein powder, for example), and the mango flavor tastes good if you ignore the directions. I first tried it with 1 scoop in 12oz of water, and it was like a liquid Jolly Rancher, borderline too sweet for my tastes under any circumstances and definitely far too sweet for something I'd want to drink during a workout. I've found that 32oz (just short of 1L) of water is necessary to dilute 1 scoop to my taste, and at this dilution the mango flavor is very enjoyable. It's also a more appropriate amount of water for my workouts.

I find this stuff really helps in the second half of my workouts. I feel a "second wind" about halfway through and that makes the rest of it less of a struggle. I also don't feel as depleted and exhausted at the end, and the recovery is quicker.

In August of 2016 I decided to start intermittent fasting. Around that time I also decided to start doing morning training sessions. I immedialty did research on how to train in the morning while fasted which lead to BCAA. Through my research I found Xtend BCAA and decided to order a bottle. My results have been fantastic. I am able to lift weights for an hour and can follow it with basketball, swimming or any other cardio without losing too much energy. If you're someone who does morning workouts while fasted, these are for you!

I mix one scoop with a full shaker bottle worth of water each day.
Flavors:
Grape 10/10. I loved the grape flavor and plan to order it next. It reminded me of grape koolaid or a snow cone.
Fruit punch 8/10. I got this a while back and it was the GO version with caffeine. Hard to remember flavor at this point but recall it tasting good.
Blue raspberry 6/10. At first I thought I liked this but realized very quickly how sweet it was. It was like drinking the juice left at the bottom of a snow cone.
Strawberry kiwi 5/10. I love both of these fruits and flavors but it just didn't work out for me. Too sweet for my liking.
Blood orange 7/10. Blood orange is good but still a little too sweet.

I plan to try out new flavors in the future and also the RAW at some point.
