Muscle gain


Taste		Doesn't taste like a milkshake,
Taste		but it tastes much better than soy protein.
Value for money		I recommend buying the 10 lb bag (it's cheaper in the long run).


Taste		wow, this whey really doesn't taste good.
Taste		I have tasted many different protein powders from many different companies over the years and I have to say that this fell really short.
Taste		I have had egg protein powders that tasted better than this (and that is tough cause the company has to find a way to make egg whites taste sweet and good).
Taste		To even call the flavor vanilla seems misleading because it doesn't even taste like vanilla.
Taste		Anyhow, seeing how bad the taste is, I tried baking with it and using it to make protein bars as I wanted to try to see if I could change the taste.
Taste		Oh my gosh, the taste of the whey is so overpowering that even this only worked so well.


Taste		The taste is amazing!
Taste		I always get the Vanilla ice cream, other flavors i seem to get a bit tired of.
Endurance		I always get the Vanilla ice cream, other flavors i seem to get a bit tired of.


Taste		Easily mixes with water, awesome taste!
Mixes well		Easily mixes with water, awesome taste!


Mixes well		Great protein powder, easily mixes with milk in a shaker or blender.
Recovery ability		but instantly noticed a difference in muscle recovery.


Taste		Their whey is always prime tasting, decently priced, and easy to mix.
Value for money		Their whey is always prime tasting, decently priced, and easy to mix.


Texture		I prefer thicker, milkshake-esque protein.
Taste		However this protein is very light and the flavors are very average.
Mixes well		Its a very clean protein, and mixes well which is a plus.


Taste		Got Chocolate flavor and Its grate with milk ( feel like drinking a milo)
Taste		other vise taste result is ow-some and looking for banana flavor next time.


Taste		Very few ever even have an acceptable taste.
Taste		This stuff tastes more like hot chocolate mix than it does protein powder.
Mixes well		It dissolves in water as easily as any I have had has well.


Taste		The taste, quality, and mixability of this powder puts it far above that of the competition.
Taste		The Mocha Cappuccino flavor is the PERFECT way to start off the morning!
Mixes well		The taste, quality, and mixability of this powder puts it far above that of the competition.


Texture		I bought the banana cream flavor, it tastes great, very smooth.
Muscle gain		Muscle gain is marathon, I believe you only can gain muscle with persistent workout, plus this whey product.
Taste		I bought the banana cream flavor, it tastes great, very smooth.


Taste		My partner, a huge chocolate addict, has gone on record to say, that the Double rich choc flavor is better than any choc shake she has had.


Taste		The ingredients are really good, the makros are near to perfect and the taste is just amazing, I would recommend this product to everyone.
Ingredient profile		The ingredients are really good, the makros are near to perfect and the taste is just amazing, I would recommend this product to everyone.


Taste		I'm spewing because I got 10lb and it tastes like ****.
Taste		Cookies and Cream tastes like some off caramel, certainly nothing like cookies and cream.
Taste		Not even a third of the way through and I can't hack the taste any more will need to throw the **** out.


Taste		I found a sale on the chocolate mint flavour & I absolutely loved it!
Taste		10/10 The strawberry flavour was a bit of a let down.
Taste		It tasted like a strawberry milkshake
Taste		Mixes to a decent vanilla flavour in water or milk and tastes great in the Protein Powder Chef's protein truffle recipe on this site.
Taste		Doesn't quite beat the chocolate mint flavour
Mixes well		Mixes to a decent vanilla flavour in water or milk and tastes great in the Protein Powder Chef's protein truffle recipe on this site.


Taste		Decided on the flavor because it had one of the highest ratings in 3.5 lbs.
Taste		I would rate this 8/10 based on FLAVOR and taste.
Taste		As a mocha cappuchino, I was expecting more flavor (similar to a coffee drink or something),
Taste		Flavor still tastes great,


Texture		I tried this flavor and the French Vanilla - I must say, I was very disappointed with both the taste and texture of both products, especially given the positive reviews.
Texture		I found them strangely grainy in texture, overly sweet, the chocolate barely tasting of cocoa and the vanilla had a strange caramel/burnt sugar taste.
