> 3 dayLOVE this protein! Spent a long time looking at different proteins, but chose this one since I dont want a ton of protein or calories, especially since I also have this with a snack. 1 Scoop of the Natural flavor mixed with 8 ounces of Vanilla almond milk is DELICIOUS!! It is a bit clumpy when mixed with a spoon, but I personally dont mind that. Using a blender gets rid of the clump factor. Mixed with the almond milk, I thought this protein tasted very similar to a shake. I used the Sweetened Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Vanilla (its a little bit better than 1% milk, no cholesterol, no saturated fat, about 10 less calories, but less protein). I just started a weight training routine along with my husband and wanted to add just a bit of protein, so we split the 1 scoop + 8 oz between us, & plan to only have this on strength training days. We both get a decent amount of protein throughout the day, and also have a little snack after the shake, such as 1 tbsp peanut butter with Trader Joes Multi-Grain Crackers and half an apple. That adds another 6 protein, so we have a total of 15-17 protein with everything, depending on portions. I am not very knowledgable when it comes to nutrition, but recently I have been improving immensely. I have noticed since I added a lot more protein to my diet (steamed chicken mostly), my body feels MUCH better and I believe protein is the reason I am recovering faster. I am still at the beginning of my exercise routine, but I do push myself further as things get easier. I have lost 18.5 pounds in nearly two months, based off changes in diet & exercising for 45 minutes to 1 hour 5-6 days per week. Im hoping adding strength training & this protein powder will help me build some more muscle and further aid in getting healthier. I recently read a recipe for protein powder (you will need a blender) that claims to taste a bit like a Creamsicle. The recipe is as follows: - 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder (since Natural is slightly Vanilla flavored, this might be fine- if not, Id imagine a touch of Vanilla extract would do the trick) - 1 Grapefruit (peeled) - A few ice cubes Blend and enjoy! I hope to try this out this weekend. If its awful, Ill come back to edit that. Id like to note that Grapefruit is very famous for its fat burning abilities (whether true or not), but check with your Doctor before having Grapefruit if you are taking Prescription medications- apparently it can be very dangerous & life threatening with certain pills. *Update: I hated the first recipe, but my husband enjoyed it. My favorite recipe uses Trader Joes frozen berry medley (raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries). Recipe as follows: - 1 scoop Natural protein powder - 1 cup Vanilla almond milk - 3/4 cup Trader Joes Berry Medley Blend & enjoy!

> 3 dayThis product doesn’t taste like chocolate, more like vanilla.. I mixed it will powdered peanut butter and unsweetened chocolate almond milk.. All I can take is the peanut butter and hints of vanilla.. Maybe if I add some carob powder or cocoa to it it might help.. Would not buy again..

> 3 dayI was worried it would have an aftertaste and it definitely does not. Good vanilla flavor.

> 3 dayIve always purchased the regular vanilla which is solid. I didnt want the added sugar and was hesitant to try it. Glad I did. Very good, NO aftertaste, I might actually like it better than the vanilla. I think BIo Chem protein powders are one of best tasting Whey protein powders. The chocolate is good too. I havent tried the zero sugar chocolate but now Im tempted.

> 3 dayThis is one of the very best tasting protein powders I’ve tried. I don’t notice an aftertaste with the stevia, and it blends really well. I’ve tried both the sugar free and the regular vanilla and both are great, I really can’t tell a difference.

> 3 dayThis is the BEST protein that I have had so far. Before I go any further, this is the best in my opinion because I was looking for specific elements in my protein which were the following: 1. Natural Whey Protein with no other types of protein, such as soy. Theres nothing wrong with soy, but i can just drink soy milk or eat tofu for that. 2. Cold Filtered so that its not denatured 3. No hormones or added ingredients. I want the ingredient list to be as short as possible and ALL NATURAL 4. LOW CALORIES and LOW FAT. I DO NOT want excess mass, contrary to probably 95% of the people out there who take supplements to just get big If the above are things you do not want (especially number 4), then search out a different protein. Now, if you were looking for the above, Ill tell you why its so great. A. Taste. This has NO weird whey after taste. it keeps it to a very minimum. to be honest, i dont taste it at all. also since it uses no artificial flavors, you dont get that weird cheap candy after taste either. B. Price. This price on amazon is excellent. its way cheaper than anything you will find at your local health food store. it almost always sells for a little over 40 dollars. (UPDATE: pricing is not always the best on Amazon anymore, so you might want to look around before purchasing.) C. Results. Ok, this is of course going to be different from person to person because it depends on a lot on how you train, your lifestyle/regular eating habits, etc., but i like it because it hasnt added any fat, and has helped me supplement by diet with that extra bit of protein. and it definitely has helped me gain muscle and strength. Ive used this product steadily for about 4 to 5 years now. UPDATE: Feb. 12, 2012 I just wanted to add one more point after receiving a friendly response to my review. Ive read some negative reviews on this product regarding its mixability. Normally this product mixes incredibly well, i.e. just dissolves into the water/milk instantly. HOWEVER, I have had two separate instances in my 6+ years of using this product when the protein just wouldnt mix well. I noticed that the powder color was slightly darker brown than normal too. But, seeing that it only happened twice in my 6+ years of using this product and no such cases in the past 3 years, I am inclined to say these were one off instances, and may very well qualify for an exchange. P.S. Im still using this product regularly. UPDATE: Jan. 16, 2015 Just another update, as I was ordering for myself and realized I hadnt yet mentioned, but the company has started sourcing the protein from grass fed cows. This is the best thing short of organic, and to be honest, grass fed is more important than simply being organic So if you do buy this protein, try to look for the version that has the sticker or label indicating that is from grass fed cows.

> 3 dayI use this product because of a nutritional inadequacy in the amount of food Im able to eat, and it blends well with just about any flavor Ive tried. Its manageable at the current price and is my single main protein source. I hope the quality stays good for my purposes of eating light and still getting enough protein.
