Informed Mass, Strawberries and Cream, 3kg vs Critical Mass Professional Lean Mass Gainer Chocolate 2.4Kg (40 Servings)

Pros

Cons

• ✗Thick, heavy texture is polarising; some users found it unpleasant to drink
• ✗Only 20 servings per 3kg bag — serving size (150g) is large and the bag depletes quickly
