Concerned about new packaging
The reason for this review is the new packaging.
The new packaging says "new and improved with 30% more protein". But when I compared the nutrition information with the old packaging, this is what I saw:
Old packaging \ new packaging
Total weight: 622 g \ 568 g
Protein per serving: 17g \ 22g
Serving size 1 scoop: 22g \ 28g
Serving size per container: 28 \ 20
Price: $28.21 \ $31.68 (Jan 2016 \ July 2016)
I am giving 4 stars because I don't have any complaints about the powder quality. But trust is an extremely important factor for something that goes into my body. The claims in the new packaging makes me question that. The new bottle is taller than the older one, but it is only half full. Scoop is bigger as well. New packaging has less powder for higher price. New one has some extra ingredients though.
