ReplyDeleteIt has no sweeteners (of any kind, real or artificial) and no flavorings. It dissolves really well and isn't grainy.
I might have to try some of these recipes myself!
Nice - a protein that doesn't feel like sand in the smoothie, LOL! Thank you for the suggestion, protein is always a welcome addition!!
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty amazing - you can't feel it or taste it! Supposedly you can mix it into pudding, yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. I haven't tried that yet, but that's what it says and what someone else I know has done.
