"Protein powder is only good if you use it. This is by far the best protein powder I have tasted. It does not thicken as much as most. It is easier to mix. I bought both vanilla and chocolate. Chocolate milk is wonderful. I mixed the vanilla into no-sugar-added applesauce and it was great. Both are terrific in coffee. I am 3 weeks preop--this is a product I will definitely use. "
