The Muscle Milk protein shake was different than expected. I thought it would be a little sweet with a powdery texture. But to be honest, it reminded me of taking medicine. It was a very odd taste. I did really like the smell of it though, which is why i gave it 2 stars. It definitely makes you feel full because of how thick the drink is. I didn’t notice a change in energy, but then again, it doesn’t have caffeine in it. I also didn’t notice a change in quicker recovery or anything, and I had it before I took my dogs on a walk to the park. I did have a hard time finishing this drink, but maybe it’s just not for me!
