Normally I purchase the double rich chocolate flavor, but since this was on sale I decided to give it a shot. It is not as tasty, but mixes very well in water, milk, or juice.

I really think it tastes good mixed with soy milk, i havn't tried it with water, though I don't think it would be good with water. If you use water to mix it, I would prolly go with the same product but the one that uses sweeteners...

as far as results, I have only been using it for two weeks, so i can't tell a huge differenece...

and the "scoop" was not in the container. perhaps its somewhere in the very bottom, but i sifted through the top half and couldnt find it... so i'm using a measuring cup, and prolly taking the wrong amount each time..

Guess I'm trading off the taste to go with a natural sweetener, because this stuff is really boring tasting. Makes drinking protein a chore. Other brands like Met-Rx Size Up actually tasted good enough to make me want to drink it throughout the day.

This protein is affordable, and it tastes like unsweetened chocolate milk. Not creamy or chunky. Seriously better than any protein shake ive ever had! (Try it in hot water, delutes instantly, and tastes like hot cocoa.)

This product works. Though it isn't as flavorful as the Double Rich Chocolate, it is drinkable. I really like that there aren't any artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners.
