lol im seriously bored brother and a bit tired so im kinda having fun being a dick =)

damn the banana one has a HELL of a lot more calories and a HELL of a lot more carbs. I actually almost bought the pro complex gainer a while back but i jewed out.

i dont care about the flavor

bro to be honest Id go with pro, and just add an extra cup of milk or scoop of ice cream.
I dont like all the cholesterol in the serious mass or sodium.
But thats just me.

Calorically, they're about the same, the Banana has a 2 scoops per serving to equal roughly 1200kcals and the Vanilla custard is a 1 scoop per serving for roughly 600kcals, so both are about 600kcals per 1 scoop. Two things you want to look at. One of the the main differences are that the banana contains creatine but not protein, and the vanilla custard contains 60g of protein, but no creatine. Secondly, the Banana contains more carbs then the Vanilla Custard, even if compared on a 2 scoops vs 2 scoops basis, the Banana still has substantially more carbs.

The Banana has a creatine + carbs combination that has certain benefits to training, as the uber high amount of carbs will draw the creatine into the muscle like crazy and more carbs generally lead to a greater bulk. The Vanilla custard has a protein + carbs combination that have it's post workout anabolic effects and creating insulin sensitivity.

If you're concerned about more carbs & calories, I'd go Banana, however, the combination of carbs & protein is a cleaner bulk. They both have pro's & con's over each other. Me, personally, I'd go with the Custard because of the 60g of protein. Ideally, you could have the best of both worlds if you simply buy some creatine on the side, along with the Vanilla custard.

thanks i have creatine I add to stuff and hate buying supplements that have creatine already in them.

get both and do one scoop of each lol
