Disclaimer: I was given free product for review, all opinions are my own.
As you may know - since I seem to be writing about it quite a bit these days - I have started this fitness program that I have really been enjoying! One of the things I've never really delved into are supplements. So I jumped at the chance to review Vitacost's new line of supplements (ARO Black Series) when the opportunity came my way!
I was given the following products to review:
1- ARO-Vitacost Whey Protein Complex PLUS Chocolate Peanut Butter
2- ARO-Vitacost Casein Natural Chocolate
3- ARO-Vitacost Pre-Workout Concentrate Pink Lemonade
4- ARO-Vitacost Creatine Natural Blue Razz
5- ARO-Vitacost Glutamine Natural Fruit Punch
6- ARO-Vitacost Amino Plus – BCAA Natural Lemon Lime
Pre-workout Conentrate: I notice a huge difference in my stamina when I began drinking the Pre-Workout Concentrate before my workouts. It helped me get through those last few reps a lot easier than before and I really like the pink lemonade flavor. I can't take the full dose though or it's too much caffeine for me. I would recommend taking less if you are sensitive to caffeine.
Whey Protein Complex: I LOVE this product. I am a sucker for Peanut Butter. It's got a great taste, it's thick but not clumpy. It's the perfect post-workout energy boost and I really enjoy it as a snack!
Casein: Good chocolate taste, a little too thick for my taste, but this is the only Casein I've tried, so maybe that's just how it is? I've ben taking it before bed and it's like having a nice chocolate shake - great dessert :)
Glutamine: I have also been taking this post workout. I really like the taste, I have been much less sore since us
I am really excited to try out the remaining two products as well, and will let you know when I do! In the mean time, check out their website and enter the GIVEAWAY below.
