I am not sure who had such high expectations for protein powder taste, but this is pretty good. It mixes well in a shacker cup and it is in bulk.It tastes good, it’s way bigger than I thought which is a plus, and blends better than other product out there.Great protein! I’ve been using this for quite awhile and love it. Syntha 6 is my go to for flavor and some extra calories, but Combat Powder is my standard go to. Sadly my last order was lost, however, Amazon quickly replaced it!powder is not mixed up well. Top half of container tastes noticeably different than the bottom half. Powder is no longer the same consistency. original was easy to dump out of container without a lot of mess. Now it has talcum like consistency that causes it to cling to everything it touches including the container. Powder also has bits of flavoring that are not ground up well. they are little chocolate flavored bits but they look like mouse poop when you glance in the container. I use the chocolate milk flavored and it is not supposed to have "flavor bits" in it. Indicates the product is over ground and poorly mixed. Plus it comes in many different shaped containers with different colored lids and label styles making it almost impossible to tell if you are getting the real thing or a counterfeit from a reseller.This is a great option for regular people who go to the gym and are on a budget.The product taste is very pleasant and blends well with liquid I choose for the dayWe love this shake. Have been drinking it for years. What in the world is going on with the bag?? It wouldn't open, had to cut it, and then, of course, there's no way to close it. Not a good design for the bag.I have bought Musclepharm protein powders several times and never had the consistency that this one does. It has always been just short of kinetic sand texture but this one seems like they threw cocoa powder in there. It is such a fine powder and it mixes terribly. Pretty disappointed with it and will go with a different seller.
