Texture		but the consistency blends well.
Texture		You don't get that gritty texture.
Taste		The cookies and cream flavor tastes watered down


Taste		This protein powder is the best tasting protein i have ever had.
Mixes well		It mixes very easily and the results from it have been tremendous.


Taste		but now there are companies that make products that work and even taste better.
Taste		I'd usually get vanilla because it's actually the flavor that gets the most servings per container by Optimum for some reason.


Thermogenic effect		The taste isn't that bad as long as you use ice cold water were if you use room temperature, you get a slight weird after taste.

Anti-catabolic		Like it say it does keep on the muscle mass.


Taste		Tastes great and is a does the job.
Value for money		Much better than a lot of the others I have tried and the price is spot on too.


Texture		I love having this protein around to be able to make shakes or even just to mix with Almond Milk for a pudding consistency.
Texture		Yesterday I tried making it into a pudding consistency and then freezing it and it tasted just like ice cream.
Taste		I have tried various flavors of this protein and it never disappoints!

Muscle gain		I also use this protein to gain mass.
Muscle gain		I've gained 20lbs in 3 months, and my waist has not increased in size!


Taste		When I saw the Mocha flavor, I was expecting more of a coffee flavor, which I love,
Taste		however, I get more of a chocolate flavor and I am not a big chocolate fan.
Mixes well		I'm not a fan of protein shakes that leave clumps after mixing it up,
Mixes well		I currently do not own a shaker bottle so I cannot tell you how it mixes,
Mixes well		but from what I hear from my friends who use it it mixes well in the bottle.


Taste		Hardly am I ever sore when I am using it, and I think the delicious strawberry flavor is pretty good.


Taste		Great stuff noticed a lot of gains mixes very easily, flavor can sometimes be a hit and miss i recommend cake batter of mocha cappuccino.

Taste		I got the Chocolate with Stevia (Natural) and it was excellent from a taste standpoint, even with just water.
Mixes well		It also dissolves easily and evenly in a water bottle by just shaking the bottle.


Taste		Mixes extremely well in milk and in my opinion tastes better in milk.
Taste		Was a bit skeptical when buying the mocha cappuccino flavor; had an extremely high rating and I am a big time coffee drinker.
Taste		However, I was extremely impressed with the flavor.
Taste		Tasted more like a glass of chocolate milk with a hint of coffee and loose chocolate syrup, which to me was amazing.
Taste		I HIGHLY recommend this flavor.
Taste		I thought it would taste like a milder type of chocolate,
Taste		but it tasted like cheap Wal-Mart chocolate.
Taste		In other words, I could barely taste the chocolate, it tasted like the pure protein part of a protein bar.
Taste		If you like that kind of taste then go for it; otherwise, stick to one of the other chocolate flavors.
Taste		However, it does taste a bit better with some chocolate syrup.
Mixes well		Mixes extremely well in milk and in my opinion tastes better in milk.
Value for money		but it tasted like cheap Wal-Mart chocolate.
