Review on 🥛 Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Micellar Casein Protein Powder: Keep Full, Aid Overnight Muscle Recovery, Creamy Vanilla, 2lb (Packaging May Vary) by Carla Anderson

I chose this one because it had good reviews and a good nutritional profile - I wanted to avoid carbs and cholesterol. So I had high hopes. I usually don't care about taste, so I went with what I feel is the most neutral - vanilla. But, wow, I wasn't ready for that taste. I've had desserts that tasted a lot less sweet. I usually add some xylitol/stevia to my Greek yogurt, so a little sweetness never hurts. Otherwise, I try to eat healthy and avoid too much sugar. But add a scoop of water or milk and it tastes like ice cream. It might not be that bad for some people, but I prefer something milder like 1/8-1/4 sweet? I take it acesulfame potassium and sucralose are meant to blow your mind? The good thing is I eat it before bed, which is dessert time, right? On the other hand, even after brushing my teeth, I wake up a few hours later and still have a sweet, dry aftertaste in my mouth.
