Taste		This first time I tried Caramel Toffee Fudge which tasted great,
Taste		but this Cake Batter flavor is awesome!
Taste		I look forward to trying other flavors; my personal trainer recommends the Cookies and Cream flavor so I'll probably try it next.
Mixes well		I have found it mixes easily and completely in my shaker cup.


Texture		If you use less water to thicken it up, it has an aftertaste that is not great,
Taste		If you use one scoop and water it down, I think it tastes like Sanalac powdered milk.

Taste		I have a shake every morning for breakfast, I substitute this flavor when I wake up a lil later than usual (weekends) and take it with me when I leave the house.


Taste		Tastes good,
Taste		however I would not recommend purchasing more than 2lbs of this taste as it can get a bit repetitive.
Taste		When I was about 3/4 done with the container I eventually bought a chocolate Whey and combined half scoop with half scoop because I got a bit tired of the banana taste.


Fat loss		I have been using it with the Vanilla Casein for the last 4 weeks and I have gained muscle and lost fat with it's low calorie, high protein formula.
