Taste		Great product!!! Has a nice vanilla creme taste, very light and not super sweet.


Value for money		Great protein, good price, will continue to use.


Taste		Mixes pretty much as good as it gets, I personally like an artificial banana flavour, that's why I got it, sure enough, tastes like expected, as far as I know, with the amino acid profile this stuff has it's the best protein ive ever had.

Taste		Taste good with skim milk, or water.
Mixes well		Mixes well in any shaker cup as long as you add the liquid first.
Value for money		2-3 times daily which is why I got the 10lb bag, cheapest that way.


Texture		The allure of the title, Cake Batter -- It mixes really well with water and skim milk, great consistency.
Taste		Although the taste REALLY resembles the Vanilla Casein that ON puts out,
Taste		(My fallback flavor has been ON's Caramel Toffee Fudge)

Taste		It's taste is usually superb as well.
Taste		Some protein powders do have better taste than others though, The cake batter flavor is ok, I had gotten a sample pack of nitro tech hardcore's vanilla cake batter with a previous order, and it was delicious..


Taste		mixes well with water or milk, taste better in milk, mixes with creatine good doesn't EXACTLY taste like a float like other people are saying...

Taste		But I wouldn't reccommend the "extreme milk chocolate" taste, it was horrible.
Taste		If you like sweet, go for it, otherwise choose something else as your flavour!
Mixes well		It has a very good ingredient profile and mixes pretty good in a shaker!
