Taste		Amazing taste and amazing results.
Taste		Best on the market and it tastes like chocolate milk!


Taste		Flavors are great (only reason I cake batter an 8 is because it barely tastes like cake batter, might as well get vanilla).


Muscle gain		It has an awesome amount of protein for all the bigger the scoop is, I drink three scoops in skim milk after each workout and it taste just like a milkshake that is loaded with 75 grams of protein.

Taste		And who isn't happy about all the flavors and sizes they have.


Taste		The chocolate peanut butter flavor doesn't have a peanut butter taste at all


Taste		As far as the taste is concerned, I've only ever used the vanilla flavor, because it mixes with almost everything.
Taste		With that said, you HAVE to mix it with something, because it tastes like crap if you try to drink it by itself.
Taste		You may love the taste.
Mixes well		As far as the taste is concerned, I've only ever used the vanilla flavor, because it mixes with almost everything.


Taste		overall it pays for itself and is the best whey supplement i have used and best tasting also i highly recommend this to any serious lifters who want gains fast
Value for money		this is a great supplement i started noticing results after my third workout and has a great price for the serving amounts.


Muscle gain		This is one of my favourite protein powder over last two months , i have gained 7 pounds of muscle compared to only 2 pounds for previous two months.


Taste		but with optimum nutritions flavoring and taste(mocha cappuccino) I didn't mind drinking it with just milk or water.


Taste		Not sure with the taste.
Taste		Definitely it's way behind the Nutrabolics' Anabolic Window Vanilla flavor.
Taste		Vanilla flavor isn't that pleasant
Taste		but it's very mild and it makes it nice to mix with a breaky and stuff and not be overwhelmed by the taste.
