Taste		This review is on the Tropical Punch flavour.
Taste		I do not understand why the rating is so low, it tastes amazing.
Taste		I usually drink my protein with water and one scoop of this + 500ml of water, still keeps a nice flavour and it takes exactly like fruit punch.
Taste		Basically, if you like fruit punch, buy this flavour.


Taste		This is great tasting protein for a pretty decent price...it mixes well, and very tasty with almond milk.

Muscle gain		This product is great for gaining muscle.
Taste		Pick a great flavor and you are all set.
Taste		If you get the all natural one you can mic cinnamon with it because the taste is not that great.


Taste		if you take a lot like me, it's nice to know that there isn't any sweetners or artificial taste and colors.
Taste		Vanilla tastes like a mild vanilla milk shake and chocolate tastes like a mild dark chocolate bar.
Mixes well		It mixes easily in a shaker cup/blender without clumps and is loaded with BCAA's.
