Organic Muscle Milk Review

I sometimes get offers of free stuff to review on my blog.  I love Muscle Milk and drink it all the time.  So, when I got an email for a free sample offer, I said YES, Please!!

The milk arrived wrapped in an organic cotton Eco bag – makes a perfect little lunch sak.

There was a nice friendly note inside this goodie box full of Organic Muscle Milk.  I felt like it was my birthday!

Inside the Eco bag were two 4 packs of Organic Muscle Milk terra packs.  One Vanilla . One Chocolate.

So, how and why do I use Muscle Milk?

I keep these ready to drink shakes in my car at all times for post-workout recovery drink.    After boot camp.  After a long bike ride.    After a lake swim.  After a race!    Simple, easy, tasty,and full of protein.  I also add it in as “creamer” every day with my morning coffee.

I usually buy the Muscle Milk 100 calories variety.   Flavorwise, they are both delicious.    Here is a comparison of nutrients.

I shared one, and only one, with my friend at work, Kiet.    He loves muscle milk too.   He is a body builder (or as I like to say, gym rat!)

Thanks, Muscle Milk for the freebie.  And if you want to send me a year’s supply, I would not refuse!  🙂
