For reference I always review my protein mixed with chilled water in a shaker with nothing added.

Taste - This stuff is definately good. I think I possibly like it more than EAS Chocolate, I need more to try to decide. Nice and cocoa-y kind of has that real chocolate aftertaste that I love and none of they whey aftertaste I despise. Not too sweet.

8/10

Sweetness - I think the sweetness is bang on maybe just a tad under for my super sweet tooth but that is easily fixed

8/10

Texture - The powder is very fine and the texture of the finished drink very silky, but thick! This can be attributed to the Xanathan gum I would guess. Best texture I have tried so far.

9/10

Nutrient Profile - I am very impressed, this stuff is the best protein I have taken in a while with only 104 calories per scoop compared to 120 with EAS and ON and similar protein, that really counts for me.

9/10

Mixability - Mixes well, the powder is very fine and as I was pouring water in the powder had practically already dissolved with no shaking.

9/10

Smell in packet - Smell is freaking AWESOME. Smells like hersheys drinking chocolate that I used to loooove. Now I can see why sludge must taste so awesome with this.

10/10

Smell in shake - Very similar to in pack, smells like hersheys.

9/10

Cost - Well if we were in America I am pretty sure I would live off this stuff. 10lbs for around $60USD is an pretty good deal. SPORTStrition currently has 10lbs for $200 which is still a good deal compared to what you can pay around these parts. Plus they give free samples of Scivation so you can try before you get 10lbs heh.

8/10

Side Effects - None so far

9/10

Overall 8.7/10 Would definately buy again but I will force myself to try another chocolate flavor first to compare. I think this could become my staple Chocolate protein eventually and I would love to try some in "sludge" and "brownies".

Better flavors in this brand I have tried - Haven't tried any - would love to try Vanilla though.

I'll send you another 1/2 dozen if you like no charge, they are there if you want to try it out properly.

It is very nice and mixable, similar in taste to Syntrax's Matrix5.0 perfect chocolate but perhaps just a touch richer in chocolate?

I wish it came in smaller amounts but the thing I love most about this protein powder...sodium is 36mg!!!! Look at all other powders and they are over 100mg per serve, some are 150mg. Although I go off powder 3 weeks before a show this is the one to use close to a show. Imagine the sodium levels on 3 servings a day with other powders.

Cheers Android really appreciate it. I have yet to review matrix ppp but will be doing that shortly, probably tomorrow From your description I won't be disappointed!

Yeah smaller amounts would be nice but I think it is a solid powder that you won't get tired of, and you are right, the sodium is amazing
