" ... I've purchased French Vanilla, Double Rich Chocolate, and this Strawberry. ... "
" ... Chocolate tasts really good and smooth ... "
" ... Vanilla is good too if you don't like chocolate. ... "
" ... Pretty tasty for a protein powder ... "
" ... I really enjoy the taste of the Milk Chocolate. ... "
" ... I have only tried double chocolate and its AMAZING. ... "
" ... I add this to my smoothies and also drink it mixed with almond milk. ... "
" ... However, the Double rich chocolate seems to still has the old stock and I got the old stock. ... If I mix it with milk, it just becomes a delicious "hot chocolate". ... "

" ... But I try to avoid milk so I drink it with water. ... Tastes ok with water ... "
" ... It would be perfect if you could use hot water - you cant ... "
" ... This powder mixes super easy with a small amount of water, although mixing with just milk using a spoon does not dissolve as easy and leaves chunks, however for me I just dissolve with a small amount of water and add some milk afterwards. ... The taste with just water is sooooooo much better than the other cheaper ones I have used in he past, then with adding milk it tastes great, I even found myself sipping on it this morning as it tasted a lot like chocolate milk (I am using double rich chocolate) ... "
" ... Usually go between just water or milk, either tastes good. ... "
" ... Tastes good with both water and milk. ... "
" ... I find it tastes better with water than milk. ... "
" ... It also mixes well (I only use water). ... "

" ... I can taste the flavor, but it doesn't seem overly sweet. ... "
" ... I mix it with almond milk and cold brew coffee and it's amazing in the morning after a run/workout. ... "

" ... A great substitute for the coffee I had to give up on my cut. ... "
" ... I have tried the Dark Chocolate whey protein from Gold Standard which tasted great so I thought I would give this one a try. ... "
" ... Birthday Cake - very sweet but if you add instant coffee to it, it tastes like a Billy Minor Ice Cream Pie from the Keg. ... "
" ... Im a coffee lover and it makes me satisfied :) ... "
" ... Of the 3 flavors I've tried, I would rank them Extreme Chocolate > Mocha Cappuccino > Coffee ... "
