Just good.
This is your regular every day protein powder. I like that it is plant-based. As far as the taste goes, there is a weird aftertaste to it. This would be great blended into a smoothie. But when drinking it with just water alone, It could be a bit much. But almost every protein powder is very much like this.
Thank you for your feedback
