I ordered the CDMI protein in the following premium flavors: vanilla, strawberry, and orange creamcicle.
The protein mixes up pretty good in a shaker cup. Much better than the MPI I had purchased a while back....that stuff would leave this weirdo clumpy gel protein puffs in my shakes. Anyways, all the flavors have a chalky taste to them, which I guess is to be expected. The vanilla is decent, but the strawberry and orange taste ridiculous. I was planning on using them in my PWO shakes with plain oatmeal...but it tastes kind of rough and reminds me of pepto bismol. So I've been using the vanilla for my PWO instead which isn't as bad. I have started using the strawberry in my milk'n'berry smoothies and it is good that way. And the orange is really good with 8oz of milk and 8oz of orange juice mixed in.
This protein blend does not work with my morning oatmeal. I mix the protein powder and dry oatmeal together in a bowl and then pour boiling water and some frozen berries in and mix it all up. I have done this twice with this blend and both times it turned into this really gummy nasty mess. In fact, I had to throw the spoon away because after running it through a couple cycles in the dishwasher...it still had a hardened gummy cast on it. Crazy stuff!! I'm sticking with what Nitrean I have left for my morning power oatmeal.
