Texture		I have a real sweet tooth and this had no where near enough sweetness 2/10 Texture - Quite thin, had to remind myself this was not watered down milk 3/10 Mixability - Mixed extremely well with a few quick shakes no lumps at all or anything stuck to the sides of the shaker.
Taste		Taste - I was very disappointed.
Taste		but after that just tasted like slightly watered down milk with a teeny hint of vanilla.

Taste		Flavor 10/10.
Taste		Not a big choclate fan and I think because I only had ONE flavor for two months I got real tired of it.
Taste		The flavor tasted exactly what I thought double rich choclate would taste like so I decided to try something different and I'm so happy I did.
Taste		I give this an overall 10/10 even though I had to drink the same flavor for two months.


Taste		Great taste and cheap with not a lot of additives.
