Tried Progenex Tropical Vanilla Recovery – Not a fan.

Ok so the other day I finally tried another packet of Progenex that had been sitting in the cupboard. It’s been there, because quite honestly, I’ve never been a fan of vanilla anything when it comes to supplements.

Well the Progenex stuff was no exception. It had a slight medicine or chemical taste to it, which I didn’t like.

I only used water with all the APS stuff I tried, as well as the Progenex Belgian Chocolate Recovey (Which was great, see article). I figured plain water was the ultimate equalizer and something all of us have at our disposal, during or after a workout.

The Progenex Tropical Vanilla stuff did taste better than the APS French Vanilla Grass Fed Whey Protein, but it is not a fair comparison since they are two different types of product.

Anyway, I’ll stick with the Belgian Chocolate Recovery from Progenex.

As for how it worked? Well I like drinking the recovery during my workouts. It keeps me going during an extra hard WOD. It does its job and gives me that little bit of extra energy when I needed it most. Plus I found out that after I drank either, the Belgian or Vanilla, my body was more prepared to do another WOD the next day.

Hopefully the folks at these two companies don’t get mad at honest opinions, but I can’t fake the funk. If it’s bad I’ll tell you, if it’s good I’ll tell you, regardless of what they think. Even if it means I might NOT earn a small referral fee. (See Progenex ad far right of this page and several APS links on the APS product review).

In short I like some of their stuff and don’t like others and have no problem telling you which. Oh and if you do want to purchase any of their products, please follow the links on this site so we can earn referral fees, we’ll love you for it! (better us than someone else :).

See you in the hills.
