I have so far only a comparison object, namely "Scitec Nutrition Whey Protein Vanilla". The taste is really good at both, and the glass Protein Shake is for me a real reward after exercise. Compared to Scitec product I find this here less sweet, which I find very pleasant. However, I see chocolate with vanilla, perhaps vanilla is generally sweet. With water I find Gold Whey somewhat too thin, so I Stir it with milk. Full lump-free beverage after mixing with a spoon is not (both), but: For this man has invented the blender in the beaker :-) Simply by mixing short and the result is a delicious drink with no lumps and with a slightly foamy surface. The five points the product of mine has earned for the waste avoided refill.
