Two things that are important to me when I am taking a protein shake: it has to have a good taste and it absolutely must mix well. Tried the chocolate and it was terrible. Switched to Cocoa-Mochaccino flavor and it is great. Then I tried the cookies & cream and found it to be just as good. All of them can be easily mixed in water. No clumps, no gritty taste. One of the best whey protein powders I have ever tried. I drink a lot of regular non-flavored water and I recommend you do the same to maintain a body balance. Contains about as much sodium as other protein shakes but this makes drinking it so much easier. I recommend Champion Nutrition Pure Whey to anyone that is drinking a shake. Whether you are trying to bulk up or have a daily workout in the gym, this is the one that will make your day go a lot smoother.
