These protein shakes aren't nearly as thick as others I've tried, and they taste like chocolate pudding. You don't get any weird aftertaste from the protein even though there's whey protein in them. I drink half to supplement or when my meal is lower on protein and put the other half in the fridge for the next meal. Can't beat the price in comparison to name brand either. This is definitely a winner for me!

Trying the Member's Mark Protein Shake to save a little money. While the nutritional content seems to be equal to that of the name-brand product, the taste does not measure up. It has a chemical taste that is not very appealing. Was able to add sugar-free chocolate syrup to somewhat mask the chemical taste but not completely.

I really wanted to love these since they are cheaper than the premium protein brand. The first one I drank was ok, but then I noticed a strange aftertaste. I would probably only use them to mix with other ingredients in a smoothie because of the aftertaste.

I got this a few weeks ago and the flavor is overpowering and not so good aftertaste. I have even attempted to mix with milk to limit the after taste but it did not help. My grandson refused to drink it too and he loves the vanilla and banana ones.

We typically drink the name brand option of this type of product. This option is much thicker in consistency than the name brand option. The flavor and taste were fine and compared very similar. If you prefer a thicker drink (almost milkshake), then you would definitely enjoy this, but if you’re looking for more liquid form, this is t for you

I will start with the positive features of this drink. The portion size is adequate. You do feel full after drinking it. I feel it could be a meal replacement. It is not chalky. It is smooth and creamy. Thirty grams of protein at only 160 calories is a great benefit. What I didn’t like about the drink. The taste is bland. I thought it tasted watered down as I was drinking it. It definitely has an aftertaste that doesn’t go away. I have had other protein drinks from Sam’s and like them much better.

I thought this might a good alternative to the Premier Protein drinks I usually purchase at Sam's Club. They are a little bit less expensive, and they had a $5.00 off sale. However, there is very little chocolate taste. It's hard to describe, the taste but it doesn't taste like chocolate to me. I would probably not buy it again.

I tried these protein shakes hoping they would stand up to the competition. I didn't like these nearly as well as the other brand. The chalky taste just didn't compare. I was really hoping they would be better, as they are a better price, but I was left disappointed.

Opening the shake your nose gets hit with a pungent smell of the weird cardboard fake chocolate, even when chilled the shake the smell will linger on. Taking the first sip it really is not the best flavor and personally I could not get myself to drink the entire thing, at most only got halfway of one before giving up and now have 17 just sitting in my pantry.

I bought these based on a review that stated they were better tasting and less expensive than the name brands I'd been buying. My first sip told me they were NOT better tasting. The aftertaste stuck with me the rest of the day. The small savings was not worth suffering through finishing the package, so I'll be returning these ASAP.
