Taste		Great product, taste great mixed with water or milk.
Mixes well		Powder mixes extremely well with water and I never get sick of it.


Taste		Great taste, great mixability, great digestion, great results.
Mixes well		Great taste, great mixability, great digestion, great results.


Fat loss		This powder is awesome, i've managed to lose 6lbs of fat, and keep my muscle.
Taste		I have never drank a protein powder that tasted good mixed with water,
Taste		but this powder is delicious in water.
Mixes well		This powder also mixes extremely well.
Anti-catabolic		This powder is awesome, i've managed to lose 6lbs of fat, and keep my muscle.


Taste		but so-so taste for this flavor.
Taste		Mix it with water: taste the artificial sweetener.
Taste		but the long term taste quality will not make you look forward to your next serving.
Value for money		Excellent profile, great price,
Ingredient profile		Excellent profile, great price,


Taste		The only thing that wasn't as good as I would have expected is the taste.
Value for money		It's quality is really great and so is the price.


Taste		And it tastes absolutely DELICIOUS, mixes well.
Mixes well		And it tastes absolutely DELICIOUS, mixes well.
Value for money		For the price, you can't beat it.


Taste		tastes pretty good,
Taste		but only some of the flavors mix well.


Taste		I though I would take a chance with a new flavor of protien, thinking how bad could it be.
Taste		but the taste is horrible.
Taste		Still a big fan of the strawberry and cupaccino flavors.


Taste		It is low on carbs, cholesterol, and calcium (too much has been known to give kidney stones...) It tastes great
Mixes well		Otherwise you get a shake with clumps and bits.

Shakes	I use this product for breakfast shakes after morning cardio and for a pre-workout shake.


Taste		Best tasting and has a good blend of protein and BCAA'a.
Taste		I have also tried the strawberry banana whey by optimum ans it is also delicious.


Taste		Great initial taste,
Taste		but after taste is not great.
Mixes well		Gets the job done and mixes very well without clumps if you have a good shaker/blender.


Taste		I have tried many whey proteins over the last 15 years and I have to say this is simply the WORST TASTING whey protein I have ever had mixed with water.
Taste		This tastes like protein powders did 10-15 years ago, disgusting!!!!!!
Taste		but it's not worth the restocking fee..... MaxxPro, Pro Nos, Ultimate Whey Protein are much better in taste.
Taste		If taste is important to you like it is to most of us, this product might not be for you!!!!!! Gold Standard 100% Whey has the right idea with a fantastic mic of high quality protein and amino acids
Taste		but they really ned to improve the tatse.... To good health and better tasting whey protein powders...Cheers :) If anyone has a good suggestion to a great tasting whey protein powder with higher quality content, please let me know!!!!!

Nausea or vomiting	I seriously thought I was going to vomit after I drank it.


Taste		It mixed so easily with water and milk and tasted great.
Taste		I'm most likely going to switch flavors after this tub, the flavor was great
Taste		but I want a new flavor.
Mixes well		It mixed so easily with water and milk and tasted great.
