I was pleasantly surprised with this chocolate flavored muscle milk. There is no weird smell or overly weird protein taste that most protein products have. I gave the bottle a good shake, and it was not gritty at all. It seems to be easy on the stomach and a really good choice to just grab and go. Even my 10-year-old thought it was really good and she ended up taking it from me. I definitely recommend this product and I will be buying some as well. If you’re trying to hit your protein goals, give this a try! 26g’s of protein with no weird taste… that’s amazing!
