This has been my go to protein powder for quite some time now. It tastes good and gets the job done. And I've never been able to find a similar product for a better price.Tastes great, ingredients are good, no digestive issues. Awesome product, will definitely buy again.This stuff is so versatile and can be made with water, orange juice, pineapple juice, almond milk, chocolate almond milk, and etc etcI love the quality and taste of this protein.I’ve used it for a couple months now and will not be going back to any previous brands10/10 for sureBirthday cake is the best flavorGo with BPI, this is a rip off nowMy whole family loves this protein. My 3 sons 20,12 and 6 all like it. Great value.I've been slowly working my way through every protein powder on Amazon, and only recently have deviated from the basic chocolate/vanilla. I always though peanut butter would be a bit much, as I tend to have my protein shake later at night, after I exercise. However, I would consider this peanut butter flavor to be very mild - so mild that I don't think of it as peanut butter at all, just as a kind of rich chocolate. I don't like it enough that I'd specifically order it again, but it is a nice change of pace.Other than that, it's a basic protein powder. Thickens decently, no gastro issues, average amount of protein per scoop - not the most economic brand but it has just the right balance that you don't end up with that protein bitterness. Supports reps, but I'm not bulking so I can't speak to its ability to aid in that regard.Except for the initial test, I always mix mine with 5g creatine and ~5g psyllium husk powder. This mixes well enough that the psyllium husk flavor doesn't come through too much, and doesn't thicken too much. It will take on an odor fairly quickly after you mix it, so I'd drink it within ~20m if it is at room temp, and wash the shaker afterward, with a spray of rubbing alcohol in the cup and cap to keep it sterile.Great basic powder, good flavor. Would recommend.I'm always up for cheaping out on protein since now days the more expensive brands are simply a name and a better selection of flavors. Like many frequent lifters and active life style people I see protein and necessary fuel. So flavor never bothers me.If you're a person to must have a delicious shake to force down protein shakes I'd look else where or stick with ON protein flavors like strawberry or extreme chocolate.I am on my second 10 poind bag of R1 protein. I had a great experience with the first bag. Cheap, decent taste, and mixes well enough with water to chug multiple shakes a day without getting sick of it.This second bag however has had me consistently visiting the toilet with runny bowels usually an hour to two hours after ingesting a two scoop shake. Even sooner if I do it on an empty stomach...Which is quite often.I'm not really bothered with the pooping part as I am really concerned about the protein absorption.This is my only qualm with the brand yet I do not deny its an outstanding deal for the amount you receive.I'll finish out this bag and likely move onto another brand to give my digestive system a break.Great product!Amazingthis looked new and i've been desperately trying to find a good tasting protein powder without a lot of artificial sweeteners , this is NOT good, the sucralose sweetener taste is the strongest i've ever tasted. i don't know who these companies are making their products for, we adults do not need a sweeter-than-candy taste incentive to consume protein, this tastes beyond awful i can't force it down, unusable, infuriatingI bought the vanilla ice cream after receiving a sample of the vanilla créme from a health store. I’d say this one is satisfactory. It has a decent taste. Texture is good. It just doesn’t taste as good as the créme version, which was yummy and it’s texture was better. This one was at a better price point. I’ll def get the créme version once I complete this one. I haven’t tried mixing it with anything so maybe fruits, etc could improve the taste even more.The two things I look for in whey protein powders is mixability and taste. Generally, the rule of thumb is never get chocolate flavour. I got a sample of this and was immediately sold. It mixes fast in water, and tastes amazing. Great value for your money.
