Taste		By testing one serving of each flavor, I was able to rule out buying and wasting a big 2 or 5 pound jug of a flavor I would have initially chosen,


Taste		Tastes great and easy to mix.
Value for money		Relatively cheap as well.


Taste		Orange and this make for a nice orange creamsicle flavor.
Mixes well		This one is especially good post workout when mixed with Low calorie Gatorade.


Taste		Chocolate is one of my favourite flavours.
Taste		Mixes excelently, has great taste.
Mixes well		Mixes excelently, has great taste.


Taste		I can't really judge the overall results of using this product, because the rocky road flavor is absolutely horrible.
Taste		I've never tasted a worse flavor in my life, and im a type of person who can drink anything no matter the taste.


Taste		Great tasting whey protein.
Value for money		Owns Bodyfortress and other cheapo brands and really isnt any more expensive.


Taste		Taste: ONLY buy the white chocolate if you're a Dark Chocolate fan!!!


Taste		It mixes well and taste great.
Mixes well		It mixes well and taste great.


Recovery ability		it definately helps with recovery right after a workout.


Taste		Almost a Mocha, It's very delicious with negative scoring of 4gms of carbs.

Ingredient profile		profile good recovery and pick me up during the day, taste is awesome for whey and mixability is great.


Taste		I like the taste and I like the way I am building muscle with it.
Taste		I can throw this in a blender and mix it with anything as well as just drink it with water in shaker and it still tastes delicious!


Taste		The chocolate Mint flavor is awesome, i love this protein.
Taste		It mixes easy in my shaker, and ill say it again, the flavor is unbelievable.
Taste		the mint just refreshes you after you kill yourself in the gym without giving you any bad after taste you get with some other "wheys", i would defiantly recommend this protein, and i am eager to try some other flavors.
Mixes well		It mixes easy in my shaker, and ill say it again, the flavor is unbelievable.


Taste		I would sometimes drink 2-3 shakes a day simply because it was so delicious.


Taste		the "Vanilla Ice Cream" flavor is absolutely disgusting.
Taste		If it is mixed with any more than 4-5 oz of water it tastes like what I would imagine dirty dish water would taste.
Taste		5/10 solely based on the taste.
Mixes well		While this product mixes well and seems to do the job,


Taste		Have been supplementing with protein powders for roughly 10 years; by far the best tasting, easiest mixing whey product i've used to date.
Taste		Flavor is a very good blend of chocolate and sort of a 'mocha-frap' taste,
Taste		but it's not overly sweet like i find the BSN syntha-6 flavors to be.
Value for money		but i feel the price of the product has to bring it down a bit; there are a few decent protein powders that are roughly $10-15 less (5 lbs), such as MGN Mint-Chocolate or Peanut Butter.
