Taste		but overall it does taste like a thin cake batter or vanilla ice cream.
Taste		If I mix it well I can't taste the BCAA's ... But that can be hit or miss.
Mixes well		Mixes well, no clumps and easy to take.


Fat loss		I chose to mix with water due to the fact that skim milk still has carbs/sugar, water is more on the leaner side.
Taste		My one friend mixed the Vanilla flavor with Orange Gatorade.
Taste		Orange Creamsicle in a glass. 1 scoop takes about 4-6 ounces of fluid, simple math I chose 2 scoops post-workout in 10 ounces of water Taste- Almost all proteins taste better in some milk, this is decadent in milk.
Taste		Above average flavor in water, might taste as if you need more protein... Chocolate Mint and White Chocolate are the flavors to grab.
Taste		Looking into what next flavor I should get
Mixes well		Mixability- Perfect w/ water, milk, or any other drink.


Taste		All (save one - Vanilla Ice Cream barf) were very appealing in taste

Taste		This product taste amazing i love it.
Taste		Even though all proteins are said to be a like i prefer this one over any other brands i have tried because of its taste and BCAA mixed into it.


Taste		Tastes great when mixed with water, mixes easily,
Taste		however, if you add skim milk, literally tastes like chocolate milk!
Mixes well		Tastes great when mixed with water, mixes easily,
Value for money		I put on about 10-15 pounds of muscle and it's cheap for the quality of protein you get.


Taste		Amazing product and out of all the flavors I have tried (strawberry, fruit punch, Vanilla Ice Cream) this is the best tasting when taking with water (even better with milk.


Taste		I found it a little weird in the begining since i was used to taking Nature´s Best isopure zero carb, which tend to mix better, and tastes a little better also.
Taste		I got used to the taste and it feels not so bad now, after taking it for 2/3 months, and i still have 1 or 2 pounds of whey!!
Mixes well		you need to shake it for 45-60 secs so it mixes throughly.
