 I've used the chocolate and the peanut butter and they both taste great but it doesn't mix well at all even efter adding more liquid and letting it sit, which normally works with other caseins.
Also it is overpriced. When you are in the GNC store it LOOKS cheap when they are selling ON casein for 55 bucks, but you can get ON casein elsewhere for cheaper than this stuff. And there are fewer servings per container than other caseins, which makes it even more expensive per serving.

 I got the peanut butter flavor, at first it did mix a lil muddy with water, but thats cuz I was not using 12oz. If I mixed it with 10 to 11oz of milk it was awesome, tasted so much better then with water. I just used a shaker cup and it was fine. I did notice less soreness in the morning after a shake at night, and just last week had 3 people tell me Im looking "fit" so the Muscle Gains are there too. I do like having a casein protein shake for night time, if the price is right, I will buy this product again tho and add it to my work out routine for good.

 I started taking this as a P.M. protein, and it does what it is supposed to. I've noticed a little extra lean gains since i started on it in addition to my Wheybolic. I've been waking up less sore in the mornings, and that's with heavy lifting 4-5 times a week. the cookies n cream tastes great, and mixes considerably easier than some of the other flavors...not really sure why. hahah. the best part is, i don't wake up with morning hunger anymore, or middle of the night hunger.
definitely recommend it as a P.M. protein.

 The chocolate has a more deep, rich cocoa flavor as compared to ON's casein, but this one was near impossible to mix. Very clumpy and chalky as compared to ON's smoother texture. I'm willing to sacrifice a little flavor if it means no grit or undissolved clumps.
I will not buy again, but if you are on a budget you can get it a little cheaper than ON by a couple dollars. I will be sticking to ON or Ultra Peptide 2.0 by Xtreme Formulations (best tasting casein ever).

 Chose this ovver ON's casein during a GNC sale. Huge mistake. While it *was* cheaper, I literally had to force it down and chase it with something. mixing with milk was out of the question, and even using water, I had to use more than my traditional 10oz. It goes down like latex paint (literally) and tastes extremely unpleasant (choc flavor). I did wake up feeling less hungry and recovery was ok when mixed with 5g glut. However, I know better than to stray from ON; the extra money is well worth not having to plug your nose and force down a shake.

 I bought this product to try as a bedtime casin. Frist of all, It tasts terrible and second the clumps are impossible to get out!
The good thing was that I gained a lean amount of mass..Highly reccomend it for bulking.
It has some carbs (about 12g) and probably isn't that clean when cutting.

 I started using this when I would go to bed and it was good and all, but it mixes pretty bad IMO. I would mix it with fat free milk and it would turn into pudding. Drinking it then became even harder because I felt like I was going to throw up. The taste is alright, but not really that great. It is a good value I got it for pretty cheap, but I would not buy it again. Right now I am trying ON's Casein and its been alot better so far.

 It's good protein at a good price, that is if you have your gold rewards card. It's a pretty good buy, and it's good protein. I take it when I go to bed and sometimes in between meals. The taste makes me gag sometimes, though. I don't know if there's another flavor besides vanilla, like a chocolate flavor, but vanilla tastes a little... off. Anyways, it does it's job of being a slow-digesting protein for long, sustained energy. Good stuff overall.
