Great taste, excellent results
 July 21, 2012
"I use this whey protein shake daily (for breakfast). It has lived up to its claims completely, and it tastes great. I use water and ice, and mix with a blender for a chocolate breakfast shake. (Chocolate IS a breakfast food!) It has kept me on track with my life-change regimen -- I've lost 43 pounds since February by adding this to breakfast, eating sensibly for lunch and dinner, and exercising twice per week. I believe this has helped me build muscle mass and lose fat. It's just great stuff, and the price is excellent."

great shake
 April 29, 2012
"the one thing that could be improved is the taste, BUT with a better taste comes fillers & junk, so the taste is fine (& coffee helps for a morning boost too).
i've already referred three friends to vitacos just because of this product, & will keep bringing more!;-)

Great stuff
 April 11, 2012
"I liek the flavor. It tastes like a protein shake. I gotta tell ya tho...people quit nagging about flavor...this is protein. You are doing something for your body not eating chocolate cake and quit nagging about blenders and shaker bottles not mixing the product. The method you are using is flawed. Get a hand blender ($10-15) and put some ice in there and it will be smooth everytime"

I keep coming back to this
 September 14, 2011
"I have tried a lot of protein powders, and I keep coming back to this one. It doesn't have a bunch of added ingredients. As far as flavored protein, this is the most natural I've been able to find at a decent price. It's not very sweet, but has a natural cocoa taste to it which I think is great. The only thing I wish was different is if they would put the whole serving in ONE scoop instead of two. I would have rated this a great value, but they raised the price. It used to be the best value, but now it's just average."

"I love this protein drink because is mixes easily and tastes really good. It is a lower calorie shake and doesn't have as many grams or protein compared to other shakes but if you're looking to stay lean it is a great product."
