Okay. So I originally ordered the cherry flavor in hopes that it would taste like idk .... Those fruit punch juices? I was wrong. The cherry flavor is very medicinal-like and I HATE IT. I contacted Amazon support and they refunded me the $ so I could order a replacement. I decided to go with the watermelon flavor as I figured the grape would also be medicinal-like (I remembered medicine I used to take as a kid that was grape flavor, yuck). Let me tell you how I use this product to make it taste and easy to digest: (1) I use sparkling soda or sparkling water to trick my brain into thinking I'm drinking a yummy soda (diet coke connoisseur here🙋🏻‍♀️). The flavors I have tried are strawberry lemonade sparkling soda and plain sparkling water. With the Cherry flavor I originally got of this product, it was too much with the strawberry lemonade sparkling soda but again, I was doing two tablespoons. I think trying one tablespoon earlier in the day and the other tablespoon in another cup of sparkling soda later in the day will help with the medicine-like flavor. So with the cherry flavor, the plain sparkling water was the best for me personally. (2) I have decided to split the serving size into two. One tablespoon in one cup of sparkling soda during lunch and the other table spoon in another cup of sparkling soda during dinner. The watermelon flavor is quite delicious with plain sparkling water whether it's one tablespoon or two though it can be too sweet for many so I advise doing one tablespoon per cup of sparkling soda/water. That's it! It desolves nicely in sparkling soda/water though I noticed that when I did the full serving size in one cup of sparkling soda/water, the carbonation of the soda kind of went away?? Like, the "sparkling" part of the soda just turned flat, like a soda that's left open for too long or after all the ice is melted so again, I advise splitting the serving size into two to prevent this from happening if you really value the "sparkling" part of soda. Overall, the watermelon flavor and sparkling soda/water technique combination is a 10/10 for me.

Why is it so thick? I got the watermelon flavor. It tastes fine, but yeah, it’s surprisingly thick. It’s as thick as honey. Regardless of how thick it is, it is a super easy way to inject more protein into my diet. I try to hit my macros eating whole foods, but just can’t manage to hit my protein targets on food alone without pushing me over on fats and carbs. This adds more variety into my alternative protein options. I’ll definitely buy again.

I have purchased this product numerous times, it gives you adequate amount of protein per serving, I take it at least 3 times a day by tablespoon only and yes it's a little thick, however the watermelon taste is good yet a bit pricey. Still yet it's a good alternative to get your protein for the day. Good stuff!

Feb 2025 Update: Ok, the reality of it is, IMO anyway, none of these taste... delicious. If you were thirsty, you wouldn't grab these as a thirst quencher, that's not the point of them. What they do is to get protien in to you when you need it. I do two tablespoons and water in a 3oz cup, stir it up and knock it down. I'm on the Pina Colada flavor this time. This is 36 grams of protien a day (I do this 3oz cup twice a day). I'm doing this post surgery as I can't eat much, so these are invaluable. I've tried GHOST powder and while that is good from flavor POV, it's way too much volume for me right now.

I had heard that this is used in hospitals, so I figured if it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for me! I was pleasantly surprised by the taste — I got the watermelon flavor and actually enjoy it. I usually mix it into flavored water or sometimes into a Monster drink, and it blends in well. It’s a great way to get a lot of protein without a lot of calories, which is exactly what I’m looking for as I’m trying to up my protein intake without going overboard on calories. It is a little pricey, so I’m curious to see how long this will last me — if it stretches well, I’ll definitely keep buying it!

I really like this, purchased the watermelon flavor to ensure I am getting enough protein. The only reason for 3 stars is because one of the ingredients is sucralose which is not good for you. I am hoping they will reform it to include stevia or monk fruit in place of sucralose.

It’s thick and gross, tried to deal with it but just can’t. Not returnable at all. 😞

Had surgery a week ago and really wanted to make sure I healed well. Upping protein and water was my goal. It tastes like jello mix, and is very sweet. If you pour the water in too fast it will bubble over so be careful. And definitely don’t mix with fizzy stuff. But other than that, I’ve been chugging it twice a day and my surgery wound has healed significantly faster than last time. I also have less food cravings for obvious reasons.
