Taste		It's DELICIOUS!
Taste		So far, this is the best chocolate whey I've tasted.
Taste		Yum.


Taste		Great protein content, very poor taste.
Taste		If you can't taste the difference between either, go for it, great stuff.
Taste		If your taste buds can distinguish the two and you have a preference for the real stuff, don't get it unless you can bare to chug it down.


Texture		when you shake strawberry you get about a 2 inch layer of thick foam.
Taste		Extreme chocolate milk gets an 11/10...tastes like yoohoo even when you use water.


Taste		Tastes great in both,
Taste		but I like to use 7oz of water to get a bit more taste, less watery flavor.
Mixes well		Mixes great (shaker cup) in 8oz of water or 8oz of milk.
Value for money		Wish this stuff was a few bucks cheaper


Taste		Amazing taste!!
Taste		Great taste, Great Results and Great Prodcut.


Taste		Tastes great, mixes great.
Mixes well		Tastes great, mixes great.
Ingredient profile		However, when reviewing the ingredients, why the High Fructose Corn Syrup?????


Texture		Other protien powders I have tried tasted chalky and left an after taste.

Mixes well		No clumping.


Taste		I'm a coffee junkie and really enjoyed ON's Mocha Cappuccino flavor, so I was very excited to try the Coffee flavor.
Taste		but the flavor really missed the mark.
Taste		It didn't taste like coffee at all...i can't really describe the taste,
Taste		but wouldn't get this flavor again.
Mixes well		Mixability in water and milk were both good,
Ingredient profile		Gold Standard's profile is excellent


Taste		an awesome tasty protein shake that digest incredibly fast... and works best..but result can be only seen after a week or more according to ur physic..


Texture		Doesn't thicken up at all or drink like sludge; easy on the stomach.
Taste		Flavor is seriously lacking, however.
Mixes well		Mixes well with a small amount of water (4-6 oz), which I like.
Mixes well		Dissolves completely, no chunks if you use a blender bottle.
Ingredient profile		No laundry list of ingredients and no HFCS.


Taste		but the taste is far better then most other powders that I have tried.


Fat loss		One of my favorite proteins by far and really helped with my weight loss goals.


Taste		flavour was good
Value for money		I would not recommend this and the price is too expensive.


Texture		For some reason, the tropical punch is also getting really thick and foamy.
Taste		I went through the 5 lb of the mocha cap, and it was good (but has bad breath/taste after).... To get more complimentary flavors with other supplement stuff I have I decided to try the tropical punch,


Taste		Their creatine doesn't dissolve and it's basically inedible and their vanilla protein doesn't taste that good and it gave me stomach problems as well.
