Taste		but does not do well as a sole flavor of protein.
Taste		It is very sweet and while it does taste like birthday cake batter, the novelty of that wears off very quickly.
Taste		I don't think it's available in a smaller size, so if you get this flavor I recommend having other flavors to choose from and drink as well.
Mixes well		Don't get me wrong, this protein mixes well in water (no weird air pockets that burst and send dry powder all over your face)


Taste		Just an overall great protein; good profile, good cost, good taste, great results.
