As a longtime user of Dymatize ISO 100 I was looking for a comparably good product that was a whey blend. I use the isolate before and after weight training and the whey blend at other times. Taste and mixability are two of the most important things for me since if it tastes bad and/or is a pain to mix it makes it hard to keep taking the product. And then I found Rule 1. What a great whey protein. The chocolate fudge is very flavorful (ON is horrible, sorry) and mixes easily in water using a blender bottle without whisk ball. Nice consistency, great taste and easy to mix is a winner. Also bought the caramel and will be trying it shortly. Looking forward to it.

I have been buying R1 protein (rule 1 and this blend) for years and usually love all the flavors but the chocolate malt doesn’t taste much like malt and has a weird chemical flavour instead. I’ve added cocoa to it to mask the chemical flavour as it’s expensive protein to simply put it in the bin. I regret buying the 5lb but I’ve never had an issue with this brand in the past.The vanilla icecream flavour is great as usual.

I got the vanilla ice cream flavor. My favorite way to have it is with berries and yogurt, it really tastes like ice cream. But if you drink your protein as a shake on its own, I wouldn't recommend this. The flavor isn't great on its own.
