Taste		works well not quite as good a flavor an the combat powder chocolate.


Texture		To put it directly this tastes like hershey's chocolate milk and it is not too thick so you can chug it right after your workout.
Texture		I am also taking the same flavor of the casein whey and that is a lot thicker in texture so takes a little longer to finish.
Fat loss		I lost 18lbs in the past 6 months (from 150lbs) purely from doing cardio and not on a strict diet.
Fat loss		I am not losing weight
Taste		I'll start with flavor.

Taste		The flavor seemed watered down.
Taste		Unlike other chocolate flavors from other companies I've tried this one seemed to just have a bland taste of chocolate.
Taste		but have better tasting and more enjoyable flavors in their line up.
Taste		This basically came down to taste and selection of flavors for me and this did not make the cut.
Taste		Also, judging from the ratings on the other flavors I doubt that I will be trying any other flavor.
