Are you seriously believing those ratings? Have you tried it? I have. I overheard people in the gym talking about returning it cause it tastes so bad. I kindly tell them to switch to vanilla which i believe is their best flavor. If i make a 1 scoop shake with 1 egg water and almond milk, it tastes like pillsbury vanilla cake batter. It's so delicious. I also add vanilla to my plain oatmeal with water and it's delicious. The cookies n cream taste like liquid cardboard. It's not desirable at all.
Another one I tried was iron mass in vanilla thinking it would be similar in taste to combat vanilla. Boy was I mistaken. This stuff was absolutely gross and tasted almost sour. Just terrible.
I have spent thousands on MP products and i love most of their stuff but I'm telling you the flavors leave little to be desired.
