I really didn't notice much difference in taste between this and Premiere Protein (the brand most people are comparing this to). Premiere Protein gives you flavor alternatives, so that's good. However, strictly economically, Member's Mark costs 4.9 cents per gram of protein, and Premiere Protein is about 5.8 cents, making this about 16% cheaper.

Pluses: Good calorie count and low carb Not too thick Decent chocolate taste Good amount of protein Not great: Adding so many vitamins leaves an aftertaste I don’t like thickeners in protein drinks, but every single one has them I keep them ice cold and use a big wide milkshake straw to get it down quicker. I don’t have time to stop and eat lunch and wash my hands, so they’re a convenient way for me to get protein without too many calories. I’ll repurchase.

I was a regular chocolate Premier protein drinker and I thought I would try these out hoping to save a couple of bucks. The taste is pretty terrible and they gave me horrible stomach issues. I ended up throwing most of them away and I will stick with Premier from now on.

These taste very similar to the premier protein ones in the box (I've never had the ones in the plastic bottle so I don't know if they taste the same). I usually get the Fairlife and they were out of stock, these do not compare in any way to those. But for a quick protein shake they're okay.

I bought this as a sub for my fairlife I usually get. I got a Ninja Creami and planned to make ice cream so my logic was how bad could it be..... I used to get the equate brand back in the day in the tin cans and assumed it was be about the same. Let me say, even blended with other items... it was still chalky and gross. If I had not already thrown away the packaging I would have tried to return it. I feel its ok if you are in a pinch or if you really do not care about chaulky or powdery liquids... I will not be buying it again.

OK tasting, but leaves after taste; prefer Fairlife 30 grams as milder chocolate flavor; you should understand the nutrition label for these protein drinks; most drink labels treat 50 grams of protein as 100% of the Recommended Daily Value (RDA); however, the RDA for protein is based on a person's weight and their amount of physical activity, so that there is not one RDA value of protein that applies to every person; the general daily dietary guideline for adults is 0.8 grams of protein per kg of body weight (which converts to 0.36 grams of protein per pound of body weight); most nutrition drink labels list 30 grams of protein as 60% of the RDA which would mean that 50 grams of protein would be 100% for the RDA; however, by working backwards (divide 50 grams of protein by 0.36 grams of protein per pound), it means that 50 grams of protein would only be 100% for a sedentary 139 pound person; however, many adults weigh more than 139 pounds, and thus, they would have a greater RDA for protein; for example, an 150 pound person needs 54 grams for 100% of daily protein, and an 180 pound person would need 65 grams of daily protein for 100%; and for a very physically active person and someone who is trying to build muscle, they could need up to twice that amount of the daily protein that a sedentary person needs; also, as people become elderly, they tend to lose muscle mass and need more than the recommended minimal RDA protein; thus, while you should pay attention to the number of “grams of protein” listed per the bottle label, the percentage of what those grams represent for each person's RDA of protein depends on the individual person's weight and daily physical activities;

I typically will purchase a Members Mark product and over the years have been very satisfied with all of them. This afternoon I purchased the MM 30g High Protein Chocolate Shake and regretfully find it not very appealing. If I compare this product taste with Ensure, frankly. it's disappointing. Granted, the contains nutrients are much higher than Ensure, but you still need to enjoy the taste. Sorry!!

Have been drinking this for at least 2 years and it appears there has been a formula change to recent batches and they taste TERRIBLE!! It’s so bad that I thought I mistakenly purchased expired shakes but they had not expired. Unfair how the company tried to pass off the changes without at least labeling the package as “changed” or something to inform the customers. Please return to your old formula. Poor business form. Hope the company is reading this review and making a note.

Just bought a case of this, since they were out of the muscle milk at the store. I agree with some of the other reviews. This stuff tastes nasty. The Chocolate Muscle Milk that they carry tastes much better and is a little better for you when you compare the Nutritional facts. I'll be returning the rest of the unused case.

I bought the Premier Protein recently but decided to give these a try. First sip. Weird aftertaste and the chocolate tasted strange. I had a tiny bit of the Premier left and I decided to do a taste comparison to see if my taste buds were just "off." No! This stuff is nasty. Returning.
