JS Nitro Size Chocolate Size


The flavor of John Scott Nitro's size that I tried is "Double Chocolate Ice Cream." And honestly, it tastes really good. Granted, if I am going to have a shake that has nearly 1000 calories, it had better taste good. It mixes well with both water and milk. I prefer the taste with 3/4 water and 1/4 milk, but I can't store milk in my locker, so I only mix with milk when I am at home.

So far I have been very impressed with JS Nitro products. They make sense.

I was initially skeptical because Size contains 150g of carbs (50% of your daily value) with only 1 gram of fiber and 79g of sugar. But those sugars are to replace the sugars expended while lifting. Size has a 50/50 ratio of fast and slow digesting carbs to replenish your body and to give you good carbs.

Combining Size with Cell Drive, also a JS Nitro product, is ideal because Cell Drive contains a creatine, BCAA's, and glutamine in the recovery shake. Some mass gainers contain these, but Size does not. If I was not taking Cell Drive, I would probably look for a Mass gainer that contains the BCAA's and glutamine, but currently I am very happy taking both products. I would rather take two products that do what they are supposed to do effectively instead of taking one product that performs both functions half way.

I have only taken Size for 3 days, so I have not really seen any quantifiable results, but the taste is great. I take size 30 minutes post workout, because I take Cell Drive and an isolate immediately post workout. I will probably start doing another size shake before bed. The taste is good enough that I don't have to chug it, and actually enjoy sipping it. My only reservation is that the taste, while very good, is pretty strong, and I don't want to take so much of it that I get tired of it. Also, it is a pretty "heavy" shake, and I need to make sure I lift hard enough to use the 1000 calories for muscle gain instead of just fat. I will probably buy vanilla size and see how I like that.

As far as taste and ingredients go, I would give Chocolate Size an "A." Time will tell if results come.
