Taste		This protein has it all: a good amino acid profile, reinforced with L-Glutamine, has a pretty good taste, and a pretty decent price.

Taste		Before I tried NOWs Chocolate, I was using Beverly and they are know for their protein flavors,


Taste		Tastes great.
Taste		but both vanilla and chocolate tastes really good.
Mixes well		It mixes easily with water and/or milk.
Ingredient profile		And, most importantly for me, it doesn't contain any artificial ingredients.
Ingredient profile		For anyone that reads past the macros in the nutrition profile, this is the protein powder for you.


Taste		If you are trying to avoid artificial ingredients in your protein powder - this is a much better tasting protein than ON Natural Whey (Vanilla).

Taste		Taste is comparable to the rest of the protein shakes out there.
Value for money		With the low cholesterol, high protein, low carbs, and low price I will be buy this product again without a doubt.


Taste		With Ten being the best tasting, and One being disgusting to the point of dumping it out, this stuff is a 4. I wince a little when I drink it, and do not look forward to it.
Taste		It's like they went overboard with the stevia flavoring or something.
Taste		If taste matters, Don't buy this.


Taste		Great tasting; I mix it in a shake container the night before with combo of milk and a little water.
Mixes well		My 15 yo son is picky- we have tried several chocolate and vanilla protein mixes and he likes this one.


Taste		The taste is good
Taste		It tastes much better when i used it with skimmed milk.
Value for money		Definitely not a waste of money.

Taste		The Strawberry flavor was fine..
Ingredient profile		It's profile got my attention, low cholesterol and Now Foods is a solid name in supplements and nutrition.


Taste		Tastes better than 2 of the brands
Taste		The other that tasted better was not isolate.
Taste		But like another guy said, taste isn't a big deal as long it isn't undesirable.
Taste		Actually I have come to appreciate the more subtle taste to it.
Mixes well		But yeah it mixes pretty easily.
Value for money		Save money and got a free t-shirt.

Texture		This stuff clearly rates near the bottom of all of the protein powders that I have used due to the fact that I mix my powder with two bananas in a blender and expect to have a very consistent, thick, creamy and tasteful milk-shake like drink.
Texture		but only holds its consistency for an extremely short period of time which means that if you don't drink it immediately after shutting off the blender, the mixture separates and has a nasty, thin consistency which just doesn't go down right; the 2nd area it falls down is the taste....I love chocolate,
Texture		however, the combination of this products texture (even sampled right after shutting down the blender) is just weak and clearly the worst of all chocolate powders that I have sampled over the years.
Texture		Bottom line, if texture and taste are important to you I wouldn't recommend this product for you.

Mixes well		This product falls down in two categories based on my usage: 1st it mixes up fine
Value for money		I've been drinking protein shakes EVERY morning for the past 5 years so I have many data points to use for comparison to form opinions (not that mine carry anymore weight or value than anyone else's).
Value for money		If this doesn't matter and you're just after a large dose of protein and supplements, this product has many to offer and is an outstanding value for what it offers…..you make the call!


Thermogenic effect		It taste like sweat.
Taste		It tastes AWFUL.
Taste		It taste like sweat.
Value for money		The only good thing about this Protien in the $60 price.
