Review: Tastes extremely artificial and unpleasant - Bought a 2kg tub of the carrot cake flavor, and it's easily the most artificial and unpleasant tasting protein powder I've ever experienced. When opening the tub, the smell is that strong it spreads across the room. For a carrot cake flavor, it tastes nothing like carrot, or cake. It's a struggle to actually eat it daily and I end up forcing it down myself just to get through the tub. Describing the taste exactly is very difficult, because it does not taste organic in the slightest, it's very chemically and not like typical protein powder. Will definitely be avoiding this powder and brand in the future.
Review: Terrible taste - Tastes absolutely terrible. Probably the worse flavour I've had so far. However, I can't knock the actual quality of product, it does have great ingredients. But yeah, they really need to sort that flavour out. I wish I was aloud to send it back.
