I have tried vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and banana. Since i don’t feel like posting individually for each flavor, I’m listing the content of strawberry, but there is some variation between flavors.

Had i posted this a few months ago, the rating probabaly would’ve been higher, but I believe that some of the great proteins I’ve had lately have ruined things for some other reviews. Now that i have had some truly excellent tasting flavoring systems, I am less impressed and less accepting of mediocrity when it comes to protein. The vanilla, chocolate and strawberry are decent, but i was very disappointed in the banana. I was really looking forward to a different flavor, but it is weak and has a slightly bitter aftertaste. Note that i only mix with water, not milk.
Mixability: 8.5/10
No problems here. A tiny little bit of residue on the side of shaker, but generally easy. Not instantized for spoon mixing, not good in oats.
Price: 6/10 $29.95 on bb.com for 2 lbs, or 28 scoops. This is roughly $1.07 per scoop. If you are like me and often consume 2 scoops at a time, that is a $2.14 serving. I would be ok, but not thrilled with that price at a great taste, but I am not impressed.
Content: 8.8/10
I really do like the content of this product. There are going to be disagreements about soy being the first protein listed in the ingredients, but I’m ok with that. If this is the only protein you give your body, ever, then maybe it’s a problem. But i’m going to go out on a limb and assume we all have other sources ingested daily and are not relying on soy as our main protein supply. It is fine. I also like that this protein blend has sources that digest at different rates, hence the ‘SR’ or sustained release profile. I don’t think it is actually a 12 hour muscle feeder as it claims, but it should provide a continual supply at a decent length of time. The glutamine, aginine and bcaa levels are quite high as well.
Overall: 7/10
The content is good, but the flavor doesnt’ impress. I could be swayed if they come out with a peanut butter flavor….
