Matrix Sustained Release Protein Powder Blend, Bananas & Cream 5 lb | Whey Protein, Micellar Casein, Egg Albumin

Really like this protein powder will be reordering it. Taste is not sickeningly sweet and mixes in well. I use it in coffee my son usually puts it in milk and that’s good. He said do not mix with water—he did not like that combo.

I’m sad to see this item is no longer available because it has become my favorite protein powder. I love the packaging (I’m not a fan of the large canisters) which makes it easier to retrieve the product as you get closer to the bottom. The quality of the powder is noticeably better than those I’ve tried in the past. I enjoy the flavoring, mixability, and how easy it is to add to almost any breakfast dish or baked good.

Like other protein powders from Syntrax, the quality is solid. It mixes well, has a smooth texture, and performs as expected from a nutritional standpoint. The main differentiator here is the flavor. Despite the name, it doesn’t really taste like a classic bananas-and-cream profile. Instead, it comes across more like a banana cake -- slightly sweet, with a noticeable “baked” flavor. It’s not bad, but it does lean a bit artificial and may not match what some people expect from the label. For me, it’s good but not a top-tier flavor. I’d use it again if needed, but I’d choose other flavors (like Chocolate Supreme) first if they’re available. Overall, a solid protein powder with dependable performance, but the flavor is more niche than the name suggests.

Syntrax Matrix is a great protein mix that consists of three different protein types releasing in different way/time + several important Amino Acids. Use it for many years since it’s really best-tasting protein. Mixes well and easily with milk or milk/water in shaker bottle or blender cup. My absolute favorite is cookies&cream, but this new banana&cream tastes rather good (not too strong, not too artificial, close to banana milk shake taste).

I’ve been a consumer of this brand for years. I have to say this flavor is my least fav. I gave to my poor husband to finish it lol

Helps with my recovery and strength after working out.

For the low price as it really is did not expect much, but after trying it…it may not taste exactly like banana&cream but there’s not even a hint of anything for me to say it tastes bad.

This is excellent tasting and it works so well with the ability to blend other flavors in. I am getting my protein requirements every day and not dreading it
