Taste		the taste is a nice fruity taste
Taste		but it does a bit of an odd aftertaste.however


Texture		1 serving goes well with around 1/2 cup of water (or possibly less), any more and it's too thin for my taste.

Taste		By far best whey protein in the business you get 24 grams per serving which is a lot more than other products great success with this taste is better than chocolate milk and I recommend it to all as the main choice for a post workout supplement


Taste		this product is really effective for building muscles and tastes really nice too.


Taste		This is one of the best tasting protein powders that I have experienced.
Taste		Other than that the taste and results overweigh the cons.


Taste		I have had just about all the flavors and even the Casein tastes great.
Taste		I even thought about taking it back and trading it in for another flavor.
Taste		It to me tastes like there is something in the protein.
Taste		Some chemical that literally makes it taste altered.
Taste		Any way buy any other flavor

Muscle gain		Playing baseball in college and trying to achieve my maximum muscle gains I feel this product has done that so far.
Taste		The taste was fine

Diarrhea	It was not a very pleasant time battling the toilet bowl.


Strength		While taking this I've noticed an increase in strength,
Taste		The strawberry flavor, at first I was really liking it, it tastes good
Taste		But I'm changing the flavor as the strawberry doesn't go down well in the long run!
Value for money		Great value product with good numbers on the stats.
