Blends very easy. Tasts great

Been buying this brand for years. I mix it in a small shaker cup with 2% milk for a total of 40g protein @ 410 cal. If you use water to mix, then the calories drop to 280. But if you use this in conjunction with an exercise plan, the calories should not scare you. I have a shake before I leave in the morning, one mid-afternoon, and one when I get home from the gym after work. That's 120g of protein and 1,230 calories in shakes daily. The protein helps satisfy your hunger so you don't feel like you're starving or needing to nibble. If you're exercising and trying to build muscle, a daily recommended guideline is 1g of protein for every pound of body weight. So these shakes put me well on my way to that recommendation. The rest is obtained from natural foods (a small healthy lunch and dinner). Snacks may include some low fat fudge pops, or a banana. That usually puts me up to about 2500 calories or so for the day. Because of my activity level, age (50+), etc., this is just below my maintenance number. So I'm effectively losing weight (fat) and feeding/building my muscles. As far as taste goes, I can compare it to this. The last time you or someone made a chocolate cake or brownies, and you were able to lick the batter off of the spoon/spatula/beaters. Yes! That's what it tastes like! It's a little gritty because you're only mixing it for about 15 seconds in a shaker cup. But it's chocolate! No medicine taste. No funky fake-chocolate flavoring. It's real and delicious! It's so good, that if you have some other nasty flavored powders that you take (Creatine, Taurine, Leucine, etc.), you can mix them into this and the chocolate flavor overpowers the nastiness and makes it completely palatable. For the morning shake, I mix in a teaspoon or so of Metamucil powder (sugar free) and the little bit of orange flavoring gives it a creamy taste. The best value is the 4.94lb container. It averages out to be about .65-.70 per shake. Add another .10 for the milk. So for under a buck, you get a great tasting drink that's good for you. Or, you can keep buying the 'diet' soda at $2.00+ per can and get no nutritional value at all. It also includes several major vitamins and minerals in the mix. Diet and exercise. It has been, and always will be, the answer to weight loss and good health. Since working out, eating right, and supplementing with this shake, I've lost over 20lbs in a little over 6 months. I feel great and my body has visually changed for the better. Probably lost more that that in fat and gained some back in muscle mass. My blood sugar has stabilized and I haven't had a low blood sugar 'episode' in months. Rarely feel bloated or ravenous for crap food. [My non-doctor disclaimer.] Ultimately, read the label to view all of the nutritional facts to see if it's right for you. Also, see your doctor if you have a more serious weight problem or other health concerns before starting heavy physical activity and/or supplementation.

I use this product exclusively in a blender when making protein smoothies. The taste is great: not sweet and very chocolatey. It does stick to the sides of the blender a bit so I have to scrape the inside of the blender to make sure it is fully mixed.

I think for the price and how big it is really was worth it. It’s definitely has lasted and has a great chocolate flavor. Not like other protein powders this doesn’t have that artificial taste!
