The Platinum Hydro Builder from Optimum Nutrition is an all in one shake designed to support your recovery and growth. Much like other all in one shakes, this supplemennt contains a wide range of nutrients, all of which are required to help your body grow. I picked up this sample at the BodyPower Expo as part of a great bundle. A tub of Platinum Hydro Builder usually costs about £35 per 20 serving tub. Remember this is a premium product from a premium brand.
Nutritionally, the shake gives a very good balance of all the important ingredients, while keeping calories low. Each serving (52g) is only 186kcal, with fat at 2g and carbohydrates nice and low at 5.8g. 35 grams of protein is included, of which 13.5 grams are essential aminos, so you get a good amount of protein going in, though not as much as some conventional whey protein supplements. 5 grams of creatine monohydrate are also included, helping improve your recovery of ATP when lifting.
The flavour of this powder is also pretty good. I have the chocolate flavour, which is always the safest option in my opinion. While not as smooth and chocolaty as the standard whey and casein powders, it is still a nice drink at the end of your workout.
