This stuff is really good no chalky taste as you will find with most protein i mix it with berries and peanut butter and some oatsi like the isolates much better then reg protein just my preference no weird smell either some i have recd smell like chemicals yuckthis mixes well with water i dont mind it but you can also use almond milk unsweet gives it a nice flavor if you want more of a cake batter taste and extra protein add in cup of egg whites i will def buy this again and recommend highly i use a ninja blender so i never have an issue with chunks on the bottom which grosses me out so invest in good blender great product awesome product and price
