Don't be confused by the conflicting advice in these reviews!!!!
Ok, so you're reading the product reviews trying to figure out if this powder is disgusting or delicious. You are conflicted. Some people say that it is LITERALLY UNDRINKABLE, while others say that it's THE BEST PROTEIN POWDER THEY'VE EVER TASTED.
I came into this purchase with very, very low expectations. First of all, I hate mocha flavored things. Second of all, I HATED the Vega sport performance protein (chocolate flavor), because I could taste the beany-ness of it, and the texture and smell were revolting (also, it started to separate within 2 minutes of mixing. Gross). I bought this powder because Whey protein powders really really upset my stomach, even though some of them are delicious.
All of that aside, here's what I have to say:
This protein powder is fing delicious. Holy mackeral. I was so surprised that I liked it, I was honestly expecting that I'd have to add bananas and peanut butter and soy milk to make it palletable. I tried it with plain, cold water in a shaker bottle. It's awesome! The mocha flavor is very very subtle, and the chocolate flavor is really rich and creamy. It's pretty sweet, but no sweeter than a milkshake, so if you're one of those reviewers complaining about how "unbearably sweet it is", you need to understand that they're TRYING to make this taste like a yummy, creamy milkshake. And even when mixed with plain water, IT DOES!!!!!!
The texture is great. It has a little grain to it, but it absolutely is not offensive or overpowering.
I'm going to try mixing it with some soy milk tomorrow and see how that tastes. If you're worried about which protein powder to buy, BUY THIS ONE!! Seriously. It's cheap, delicious, and the macros stack up great against Whey protein powders.
Do not be afraid! Take the plunge!! You'll love it (and if not, mix in a bunch of other crap until it tastes good, and buy something else next time). IN the end, your taste buds are unique, so you have to try it to know if you'll like it or not.
