Getting extremely fit and in shape can be a difficult task. Even with hours and hours spent at the gym, a body can get tired and hit a wall without a little extra help.

That help can come in several different forms including a trainer, workout partner or supplement.

In this review, we’ll be focusing on one particular protein supplement called Big Blend. Created by the company, Betancourt Nutrition, Big Blend carries the slogan of being the “best and biggest” protein supplement to date.

That being said, we highly doubt that this product is truly the best thing around town when it come to protein supplements. But is it worthy of your consideration if you’re looking to beef up your muscle gain and performance levels?

Its Contents

As is customary with most protein supplements, Big Blend is packed full of various amino acids, proteins and enzymes – 22 to be exact.

These include the likes of casein, whey, egg and rice protein, amino acids such as L-Lysine and L-Glutamine, and enzymes known as brown rice bran and waxy maize.

Each of these 22 ingredients helps in one form or another to promote anabolic synthesis in the body.

On top of these muscle-building ingredients, you’ll also find that Big Blend has 22 grams of protein, 3 grams of carbs, 2 grams of fat and is sugar-free, making it one of the healthier supplements that we’ve reviewed.

How It Goes About Building Muscle

As we noted above, each of the 22 muscle-building ingredients found in Big Blend is used to a body’s anabolic state, whether that is through protein synthesis or another mean.

More specifically, the proteins found in Big Blend are designed to feed muscle fibers, while the amino acids themselves serve as the building blocks of protein.

As for the enzymes found in Big Blend, although they do not directly stimulate muscle growth, they play a big role in the process. You see, enzymes such as brown rice bran have the unique ability to speed up digestion in the digestive tract, ensuring that the other ingredients found in Big Blend are absorbed and used efficiently.

How It Should Be Used

Users of Big Blend are directed to mix one serving with one cup of cold water before drinking. For optimal results, Big Blend should be taken right after working out and then again two hours later. On rest days, a user should take Big Blend once in the morning, and again before bedtime.

Also, it is suggested that Big Blend be used in conjunction with a healthy diet in order to enhance its potency. It can also act as a meal substitution on occasion, but users should refrain from using it as a meal consistently.

Its Cost

Betancourt Nutrition’s products can be purchased online at its website. As for Big Blend, customers have the option of purchasing a 35-serving or 60-serving tub, for $32.99 and $51.99 respectively. These prices are quite reasonable in comparison to other protein supplements.

Big Blend comes in four different flavors including Choco-Latte, French Vanilla, Vanilla Cappuccino and White Chocolate.

Its Taste

Last, but not least, all four flavors of Big Blend have gotten high ratings in the taste department (8.5-9.1 out of 10).

Now, this doesn’t mean that you’ll be getting a product that tastes better than Starbucks, but Big Blend should be able to flair up your taste buds to a certain degree.

Last Word

In conclusion, although we still doubt that Big Blend is the “best and biggest” of protein supplements, it seems to be an adequate and above-average option.

As such, we do give it a strong recommendation and suggest its consideration if you’re looking to improve your athletic performance.
