I saw all kinds of people on here rave about how wonderful Calcet Creamy Lemon bites are. So, I ordered and sample and they arrived today. I was so very excited to try them so I opened one up, popped it in my mouth, bit down and promptly spit it out. It was SOOOO gross. The texture, the flavor, etc.

So, if someone tells you the "best" or the "worst" protein powder, flavored water, whatever, don't believe them. Try as many as you can until you find the one which works for you.

I have a whole basket of things which didn't work for me, if anyone's in western NC, they are welcome to it.

SO TRUE! I also have a bunch of items that didnt live up to expectations.  Always get a sample first if you can LOL   I do use the chocolate creamy bites some, they are not bad.  I have tons of protein powders that I can drink if necessary but are not my favorites so they sit there.

LOL - I did exactly the same, Karen!  I kept reading about how good these things were and so I ordered 3 boxes of the bloody things that I now have to choke down because I'm too much of a tightwad to throw them away!

I thought to myself "what on earth are these people eating that they think these things taste good???"

Whoever thinks that these things taste "delicious" or think they are a "little treat" clearly has VERY different taste buds to me!!!!

Have you tried freezing them?  It changes the flavor and texture a bit.

Yes.  That is why I ALWAYS suggest that people get samples and not just buy a huge can of a powder they haven't tried just because a bunch of people here said THEY liked it.

MANY people here LOVE the Click coffee flavored protein powder and I couldn't gag down even half of one because it was so vile. Same with the PB2 peanut dust.  People raved about adding it to chocolate protein powder to make it taste like a Reese's peanut butter cup.  Not even CLOSE, IMO... It just tasted like a chocolate protein shake with peanut dust added to it and you couldn't pay me to eat PB2 mixed with water to "reconstitute" it.
