5 out of 5 stars Great Taste, Digestibility, and Quality   August 31, 2008
I have worked in a nutrition store and have tried dozens if not hundreds of different proteins. This one has been the best and doesn't have any of the artificial sweetners and other ingredients which can cause digestion problems. It mixes easily and has a very versatile and enjoyable taste. It is probably best as a postworkout or early morning protein source due to its rapid digestion. I will often take along with some fish oils or flax oil to lower the glycemic index and resulting insulin response. Amazon, especially with free shipping and 15% subscription discount, has by far the best price!

It seems like very good product. The shipping was free which is good. no complaints.


5 out of 5 stars Superb Protein shake   July 27, 2008
This has everything you need in a protein shake and healthy. I use it every time after a workout. Half a cup of water, a TB of Nesquick, and a couple ice cubes into my Magic Bullet(blending machine) and I've got myself a healthy quality protein shake.

Great product.



4 out of 5 stars Good taste depending on how you mix it   July 8, 2008
Good with water. Better with milk. Great with instant oatmeal. Doesn't work in yogurt. I liked the taste of the same brand Vanilla Ice Cream flavor better, but this one's not too bad.


5 out of 5 stars USE THIS STUFF   July 5, 2008
I am a petite woman in her 20s. I am NOT a body builder. Yet, I enthusiastically recommend this product. If you have not been updated on recent health news, there have been several studies that have revealed that whey protein greatly assists in weight loss. (Just Google this.) While I am unable to give you a scientific analysis on why whey is good, this particular brand is whey is great. I used it everyday last summer and even now before meals. I do feel fuller and more energetic after workouts. As for the taste, even adding water to the mix tastes good! It has a slightly sweet taste, but isn't particularly too sweet. If you are seeking to bulk up or if you are just seeking to lose weight -- get this.
