4 out of 5 stars Tastes good   November 26, 2008
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..



3 out of 5 stars Probably one of the best proteins for you, but tastes ehh..   October 7, 2008
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.


5 out of 5 stars Tastes Great!   October 3, 2008
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.)


4 out of 5 stars Gold Standard is the best   September 10, 2008
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.


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!
