" ... I like to blend with a banana and peanut butter for the perfect flavor. ... "
" ... Chose Strawberry flavor. ... "
" ... Much better than some protein powders, less of an aftertaste in my BulletProof Coffee. ... "
" ... I put it in my coffee to go in the morning and it dissolves instantly and tastes great. ... "
" ... Flavor is great - no artificial or chemical taste, and no sucralose (I'm talking about the Double Rich Chocolate flavor). ... "
" ... Chocolate flavor is decent. ... "
" ... Next mixed it with black coffee, and another time with water and instant coffee (I like coffee if you can't tell) . ... "
