Sometimes slower is better - especially when it comes to the rate of protein digestion. While rapid protein absorption is desirable immediately before or after exercise, delayed release is probably more beneficial throughout the remainder of the day Casein proteins are pH sensitive and gel in the acidic environment of the stomach. As a result, it can take more than twice as long for caseins to be broken-down into their amino acid subcomponents than whey and other proteins. Because of their unique time-released qualities, caseins are aptly described as anti-catabolic or muscle-protecting proteins. Picture may be of different size or flavor. Readmore

"Pro Complex Protein"2009-05-31 By gtr022001 (California) Its not bad, pretty light taste, protein contents much better than the previous powders that I got, i.e. Syntha-6
"problend is better"2009-05-01 By ricky6985 (philadelphia) im a fan of ON products, and this one is decent, but problend is better. it doesnt taste as good as problend, and doesnt mix very well either. try procomplex, then give problend 55 by wellements a try, you will come to the same conclusion.
"what you missed?"2009-04-24 By Journey (Van Nuys, CA) In addition all those good reviews, I would like to add another detail that is very important for consumers at my age. The sodium level and cholesterol level are pretty low on this particular product when comparing with competitor products.
"The Best"2009-03-19 By Kay M. Mccarty (klamath falls OR) I ordered the chocolate as well. I use this for hot cocoa but you have to be careful when mixing because it has egg albumin that will curdle if too hot. The vanilla mixes well into instant pudding if you want something different than a protein drink.
"Workout goodness"2009-03-18 By Thomas A. Barnes (Miami, Fl) I have found this is a great post-workout protein mix. It's taste is decent, far better than other products I've tried. I also combine this with Animal Pak, and, I'm happy to say I'm pleased with my results so far. Make sure you really burn yourself out on an intense anaerobic workout to make the most of this product.

"Good protein, horrible taste"2009-05-28 By Chiro Kid (Bloomington, MN USA) I tried these bars because they got good reviews on some sites I checked out. I was disappointed when they arrived and I tried one. The taste and texture of the bar are both awful. They were bland and bitter. The texture is like a dried out powerbar. There is good protein in the bar, and it is low in calories and fats, but this can't make up for the taste factor. I would look around more and find another bar to try, there are plenty of protein bars out there that have both good nutrition and good taste.

"Love this product"2008-06-16 By S. Sperka (pa) This is a easy way to supplement your protein and omega 3 intake. And most importantly, it tastes great. I have been using Complete Protein shake mix for over five years, I highly recommend this product.
"Pretty good!"2007-10-24 By E.L. (SoCal) Taste like chocolate ice cream that is barely sweet. Taste best when using a blender with ice. I have only mixed it with milk and it taste pretty good. I have not dared to use water. I have used a blender bottle and it is a little harder to mix. Even with the blender bottle with with the ball whisk. You don't get clumps but for some reason it is much better using a blender. The shake itself is good and enjoyable drinking it. You will not make a funny face or hold your breath while you drink it. I will buy a gain with no problem. Plus, it is filling.

"Whey tastes better"2009-03-20 By Sam L. I have to admit that the other three whey versions of protein shakes from ON I've tried taste better. Not to say this tastes horrible or anything. I switched over to the soy version myself because the whey version bothered me a bit, which this kind doesn't seem to do. Tastes meh when mixed in water, and loads better when I mix it with straight up soy milk. I'd be interested to see if the vanilla version tastes much better than the chocolate.
"After 48 Years, This Book Tops The Best Sellers List"2009-08-24 By prisrob (New EnglandUSA)
Julia Child et al, wrote this mastery of a cookbook over 48 years ago. It has finally made the best seller list this week. The success of the film 'Julia and Julie' and the book of the same name has given Julia Child a leg up! It is surprising that women who have bought this cookbook are surprised at the amount of butter involved. Americans are afraid of butter. The French use butter and always have in great proportions, but they also eat a lot of fruit and vegetables and they walk- they walk everywhere.
Nora Ephron, Director of 'Julie and Julia' says she had as a goal of her film that people would buy Julia's book. Not only buy it, but cook with it. And, they have in numbers that run into the thousands, 22, 000 to be exact. The recipes are not difficult, they take a little extra time, that's all. This is not 'put your dinner on the table in 30 minutes' cookbook. Do you remember Julia Child's cooking show on PBS? We used to watch it every week and laugh along with her as she dropped the chicken on the floor, picked it up and said, no one is here but me!
The food looked luscious, even in black and white. My first recipe was the Beef Bourgione and it is still a staple in my kitchen. He pate brisee is also the best recipe for pie crust and it is so much easier now with a blender. Pie Crust that is flaky and buttery and supports the filling. I recently made a blueberry pie, the entire family was ecstatic. Their favorite is chocolate creme pie but a fresh blueberry pie in the summer with vanilla ice cream tops a meal!
I received Julia Child's 'Mastering the Art of French Cooking' again for my birthday this year. It replaced the old tattered copy that has its rightful place in my bookcase. The old one was used and showed it, but isn't that what we want in our cookbooks? Julis would be pleased, I think. Unlike, Julie, I am not going to try each recipe, but will go for my tried and true and some new ones, in memory of Julia.
Bon Appetit! You can't beat that!
Highly Recommended. prisrob 08-23-09

"My Rubachem Review -- Now I'm Hungry!"2009-08-23 By J. rubach (new york, new york United States) My Rubachem review of Mastering the Art of French Cooking is that it's a huge help for even beginners and that's no scam! Most books are for expert chefs but this is easy to understand. The movie is also awesome!!
"This Revised One is the One to Get"2009-08-14 By Just Loves Books (Alabama) I ordered this after seeing the movie. I was a little concerned about whether I really wanted the revised edition or try to find an original. I ordered this one, and was so pleased. It has the original instructions and then a note, like with aspic..It has the instructions for using the calf foot, like in the movie "Julie and Julia" and then tells you how to use boxed gelatin instead, since it is readily available now.
I, a down-home Southern cook, at the age of 53, who thought no one could teach this old dog new tricks, have Boeuf Bourguignon simmering in my oven as I write this, and my husband said the house smells better than it ever has with anything cooking (and he loves my cooking!) The only bad part of this recipe is smelling it, wanting to eat it, and having to wait for it to cook slowly in the oven!
Julia Child is a genius, and I can't wait to try more recipes! Love, Love, Love this cookbook. But now I want new cookware and knives............
"Julia Child's gift to the English speaking world!"2009-08-14 By Robert William Wolff (Milton MA USA) I had heard about this book for years, and the current focus on Mrs. Child's contributions to eating in America and other English speaking locales made me want to own and either cook from it or read it cover to cover.
The book received from the book seller is in precisely the condition stated. It was received quickly.
"The BEST book about cooking that I own"2009-08-11 By Sekhmet2 (Philadelphia) When you start to use this cookbook, it is easy to understand why it has remained a classic since 1961. It is not like the usual cookbook with big, beautiful photographs, a long list of ingredients and directions on putting everything together. It includes commentary by Julia Child that is really funny sometimes and very useful in understanding how the various ingredients work to make the dish. And, not all the recipes require hours to assemble. The vegetable dishes, in particular, are fairly easy.
I just made Boeuf A La Bourguignonne (Beef Stew) from this book that is included in the movie, "Julia & Julia", for a pre-theater gathering at my house. I served the dish as an appetizer so my friends would know what it tasted like when we went to see the movie. Everyone loved it. When you make this dish, it is easy to see why it is so different from most other beef stew recipes. Each of the ingredients--stew beef, pearl onions, mushrooms, carrots, onions-- is treated individually to get the most flavor and then combined at the end to make the dish. Fantastic flavor! It is so rich that it just melts in your mouth.
If you love French food and want to make some in your home, get this book. This is the definitive book on the subject and it is not that hard to make incredible dishes.
I have made these dishes: Salade Nicoise, Ratatouille, Whole Baked Tomatoes, Chicken Breasts with Mushrooms and Cream, Fish Filets poached in White Wine and Eggs Baked in Ramekins. I highly recommend each.
A dazzling novel in the most untraditional fashion, this is the remarkable story of Henry DeTamble, a dashing, adventuresome librarian who travels involuntarily through time, and Clare Abshire, an artist whose life takes a natural sequential course. Henry and Clare's passionate love affair endures across a sea of time and captures the two lovers in an impossibly romantic trap, and it is Audrey Niffenegger's cinematic storytelling that makes the novel's unconventional chronology so vibrantly triumphant.
An enchanting debut and a spellbinding tale of fate and belief in the bonds of love, The Time Traveler's Wife is destined to captivate readers for years to come.

"Great reading!"2009-08-23 By Marie E. Schafer (Doylestown, PA) Since I heard the movie was just OK, I decided to read the book instead. Good reading, I stayed up too late reading every night!
"Magical, Romantic and Wonderful. A Could Not Put Down Read..."2009-08-23 By A. Wilkinson This book was wonderful!! I really could not put it down. I read it because I wanted to watch the movie, but I wanted to read the book first and the book was just wonderful to read. A great book!!
"Pretty good, not great"2009-08-23 By Nikki P. (Arlington,VA) I like the basic plot idea which is that Claire (the wife) knows Henry (the time traveler) since she was a girl and when they meet in the present she knows him but he doesn't know her yet. See Henry doesn't remember his travels through time, only that he ends up with no shoes and frostbite when he returns. It's a dangerous and unpredictable job this time travel, much like being married to a soldier who goes to Iraq. He leaves and he's gone you worry he will not return home. So sci-fi it is not. Love story it sort of is. But once it explores their married life it wasn't all that interesting in to me. And it's very morose. Time travel is not fun for married people, people! Plus the details of the time travel is spotty at best and the ending wasn't as rewarding as I'd hoped. The writing is good though and it is a book I wanted to read through to the end.
"Needs editing"2009-08-23 By TNPatti (Portland, TN United States) After hearing rave reviews, I was disappointed in this book. The premise is great and I didn't have too much trouble following the characters through the twisted plot line. The fact is this book is just too long. There's not enough story to carry it for the 17 hours I listened. It was like the author had to use every adjective she ever knew when a couple would have been satisfactory. The telling of the long dreams was just plain boring. The long passages in French were irritating. I found it to be somewhat pretentious. A good editor could have cut this book by a third and had a truly great novel. All that being said, I still found it interesting enough to finish.
"Best book!"2009-08-23 By Amy N. Cook (Goldsboro, NC USA) I had heard about this book for awhile, but had never thought to pick it up. I am so glad I did---best book I've read in quite some time. Absolutely adored it and would highly recommend to others!
