What They Don't Tell You
3 Stars
What They Don't Tell You
What they tell you. It tastes great and is a good supplement to build mass.What they don't tell you. Each serving consist of 2 huge heaping scoops of powder and 24 ounces of fluid (water or milk). This combination results in 48 ounces of liquid delight that they claim is a single serving. On what planet is 48 ounces a single serving? To put this in perspective, that is 2 full to the brim Shaker bottles that are intended to be consumed as one serving. 340 grams of powder from one serving translates into 3/4 of a pound of powder. Again to put this into perspective, the huge tub of powder you will recieve equals ONLY 8 advertised servings.The other thing they don't tell you is the powder is so fine and gummy that the only way to prepare the drink is to use a full sized blender. No Shaker bottles here. Preparing this mix is a mess. The powder is so fine that it creates a gummy mess that adheres to the side of the blender like Venom on Eddie Brock. Prepare to spend a significant amount of time coaxing the paste free to get it to properly mix.Great protein mix, but I sometimes I feel like it would be easier to eat 5 chicken breasts too reach the same calorie goal, than to put down 48 ounces. I realize that it can be broken up throughout the day, but so can multiple meals. There is also the option of using another protein supplement with a realistic serving size, multiple times a day. In the end, I feel like that is all they have done with this product. They have combined a multiple dose, throughout the day protein powder into a single serving, trying to advertise it as a solution that they obviously have not solved.

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2013
First of all I tried the vanilla and the chocolate flavor. Please do yourself a favor and only get the chocolate flavor. Listen, the chocolate flavor is the same in every other brand protein shake or mass gainer because they all use cocoa powder. So if you like chocolate you will not be surprise when you taste it. Compared to the vanilla one which has a very unique taste that I did not like. Just get the chocolate one.

Also, the servings say two scoops but if you have not seen the scoop it is the same size as a detergent scoop. It is even hard to take it out of the bottle. One scoop is enough for one serving (625 calories). If you do decide to take two scoops space them out throughout the day. I do not recommend this though since you should be getting the rest of your calories and nutrients from real food. One scoop every day is fine though.

Ok, so how did I mix it? I used a electrical blender. I have used a shaker bottle with the metal spring ball thing before since I did not have a electrical blender in my college dorm. But it taste much better if you blend it with an electrical blender because you will not have large clumps. Also, you can add other ingredients if you like such as peanut butter (chocolate flavor + pb taste freaking good just like reeses cup). Peanut butter adds more calories and protein to your shake. Do not take this mass gainer if you are not working out at least 3 times a week. You will simply gain a gut around your stomach area unless you are anorexic. Even if you are anorexic, you should still work out. And if you are like me and are still looking to add calories to your serving, add in 1 tablespoon of olive oil (120 calories), and you will not taste as long as you drink fast enough so the olive oil does not float up after you blend it.

So my shake usually is 1 scoop (625 calories, 24g protein), 12fl oz of milk (225 calories, 12g protein), 2 tbsp of peanut butter (190 calories, 7g protein), 1 tbsp of olive oil (120 calories). Total of 1160 calories, 43g of protein (hopefully my math is correct).

With all of that being said, I recommend to buy Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein (Extreme Milk Chocolate flavor) instead of serious mass because this gainer has a ton of carbs. The first ingredient is Maltodextrin which is normally found in soda and candy. You save a lot of money also since the whey one has more servings.

Last advice, use MyFitnessPal app if you have trouble gaining weight. Make sure you are actually hitting your calories goal. I used to think that I had a fast metabolism because I ate so much. But in reality after I calculated the calories, I was far away from hitting 3000 calories.

I gave it 5 stars because it worked for me. I went from 145lbs to 160lbs in three months. Yes I gained fat but also muscle because I worked out. I no longer take this after finding ON 100% Whey. Much cheaper per serving, a better selection of flavors, and a lot less carbs. Yes, it might not have the calories but you can definitely create your own mass protein shake by using the correct ingredients. Google svunt shake if you need an idea of creating your mass gainer with whey protein (it has 1659 calories and 95g of protein).

Have fun gaining.

Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2017
My elderly mom started using Serious Mass a few months back to gain weight that she'd lost from a combination of medical and dental problems. She loves the taste, but was surprised by the size of this plastic jug (it's huge, but relatively lightweight, easy to open, and it comes with a big scoop). Right now, she's not able to consume enough in a day to actually add any pounds (due to her personal limitations and generally not having an appetite/finding it a chore to eat), but that is the eventual goal. In the meantime, she's using it to supplement her diet and maintain her weight so she doesn't lose any more.

Her preferred recipe is adding about 1.5 to 2+ scoops in a blender to half a bottle (each) of chocolate and vanilla nutritional "plus" drinks (not sure I'm allowed to mention other product names but it starts with an E), then adding almond vanilla soy milk (80 calories/serving). Blend for a few minutes until smooth. For on-the-go or later consumption (in a cooler, on ice), pour the mixture into an empty bottle of a nutritional drink. Leave the rest in the blender in the fridge (usually lasts about 2-3 days).

Since mom has been bedridden due to a back injury for the last 3 weeks, I've become a bit of a master in making this for her. She said she's ready for 3 scoops now to increase her caloric intake, so since it was a bit thicker, I topped the blender off with more almond vanilla soy milk. Also, even though the container is huge, since it has that big scoop, the powder goes rather fast (at first glance you would think it will take you forever to get through a jug, but you'd be surprised!) We re-order roughly every month and a half to two months at her current intake rate. I think it's making a difference in maintaining her weight, and she gets the psychological/emotional benefit from knowing she's boosting her calories with every sip (packs much more punch than a traditional nutritional drink). I've never tasted it myself, but it smells quite good and blends nicely (and mom can be picky!) Thanks Serious Mass!

And one final tip for anyone in a similar situation : Your loved one may get sick of the whole "chocolate and vanilla" thing after awhile (my mom's not big on strawberry flavors, though she loves fresh strawberries -- but note that strawberry flavors can be more costly for nutrional supplements for some reason], so consider adding something like small cans of tomato/vegetable juice, various types of yogurt, and diced fruit cups (pears, peaches, mandarin oranges - chilled overnight, then adding some diced strawberries sprinkled with sugar and a tiny bit of water and mixing it all together) to their diet. My mom's more into texture and temperature but visual appeal does play a part! Good luck!

Impressive results! Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass helped me bulk up effectively. Mixes well, tastes good, and provides the necessary nutrients for muscle growth. Knocking off one star because the serving size can be a bit daunting for some, but overall, highly recommended for those serious about gaining mass.

This is my continued goto gainer. I've tried others, but at the end of the day I always come back to Serious Mass.

For me, this blends up perfect without being gritty or chalky. Vanilla and chocolate tastes just fine, even better with a scoop of peanut butter.

However, I use one scoop in a 28oz mixer bottle, not the suggested two scoops. I don't lift or anything, I drink this to supplement my caloric intake (easy calories). I drink one of these on my way to work, and then another along with/after lunch. It helps me both drink more water as well as add more calory points, but doesn't leave me feeling completely bloated and uncomfortable like I do sometimes if I used the full two scoops.

プロテインはどこも味のレビューが多く、肝心の栄養価が書いていないことが多いですね。
プロテインなんて美味しくないものだと思ってるので正直どうでもいいのですが、
味は100点満点中30点です。
嫌らしい甘さ、どろっとした舌触り、いつまでも消えない泡、お世辞にも美味いとは言えないです。
まあプレーンのソイプロテインの水割りよりは全然マシです👍🏻
マルトデキストリンが大量に含まれているのでこぼしたりすると水拭きしないと溶けた飴がついたようなベタベタが残るので注意です。

他のプロテインに負けない栄養分があるので、嫌なところを相殺して⭐️5でした。

あと、デカめのシェイカーを買った方がいいです。最低でも600ml

5.0 out of 5 stars Très bon produit pour les ectomorphe !
Reviewed in France on February 14, 2017
Le produit correspond parfaitement a mes attentes ! La solubilité de la poudre dans de l'eau ou du lait est parfaite. Le goût, pour ma part chocolat, est également très bon, facile a boire et digeste ! Bon ensuite, et c'est bien pour ça que j'ai acheté ce produit, venons en au niveau de la prise de poids réel avec ce produit. J'ai été très surpris car ayant essayé plusieurs dizaines de Gainer différents qui ne fonctionnaient absolument par sur moi, j'ai enfin trouvé un produit qui arrive a me faire gagner du poids tout en étant abordable ! N'allez pas chercher plus loin car au niveau du rapport Qualité/Efficacité/Prix vous ne trouverez pas mieux ! J'ai trouvé la marque qui me correspondait et je compte bien passer toutes mes prochaines commandes auprès d'Optimum Nutrition.
