Taste		but what I do is put half water, half milk and it tastes great
Mixes well		The only thing I didn't like about it is that it doesn't taste that great when mixed with water


Texture		And the Chocolate Mint is amazing with milk and its not thick so you can cut some milk (or water) out.

Taste		ON gold standard whey is a great product it mixes cery easily and with spoon and cup or a shaker it leaves little to no residue on the cup due to the good mixability along with the great flavor of cookies and cream and from what I can tell is much better then any other protein I have tried

Value for money		Compared to many other great protein powders, Gold Standard is in my opinion the greatest value because unlike other products, Gold Standard packs a lot of protein in a smaller serving size and fits a lot of servings per container.

Texture		To make it salvageable, its best with yogurt or with actual strawberries and water as a smoothie.
Taste		Great product, poor flavor... Taste horrible...there is no good smell or taste of strawberry with this flavor.
