      I've been drinking fruit and green smoothies for years and have used them in those and just plain Protein drinks. I try to use pure extracts when available. Takes a tiny bit.

    I think that no matter what protein you use, you have to use something additional to get rid of that awful taste it leaves behind.

I can't wait to try that one!
