Delicious!
At first, I wasn't sure about the flavor or the aftertaste. But by the third time trying it, I was hooked. I drink it religiously with every workout - and I had a very, very hard time drinking even 12 oz. of water before using this. I haven't had an trouble mixing it, as some previous reviews have noted. I mix it with 16 oz. of water and then add a bunch of ice cubes. Good to go!<br /><br />As a side note, I choose this particular brand because I have Celiac Disease and many other companies cannot/do not market as gluten free or used shared equipment with wheat products. This one IS gluten free. Two thumbs up.<br /><br />UPDATE:<br />I am now on my second canister of BCAA (first time I ordered watermelon and this time I purchased grape). Still love, love, love it. I like the grape even more than the watermelon, but please note that it is very sweet. Still no problems mixing it. Highly recommend.<br /><br />UPDATE #2:<br />Now on my third canister. Tried lemon/lime this time. It's good, but I definitely like grape the best. I seriously do not understand the negative reviews of this product. It tastes delicious and I have NEVER had trouble mixing. Still two thumbs up :)<br /><br />UPDATE #3<br />For my fourth canister I ordered passion fruit. Pretty good, but grape is still my favorite. If you're looking for something mild in flavor, order the lemon/lime.

Nice watermelon taste- jury still out on effectiveness
My fitness magazine tells me that supplementing BCAAs before and after weight lifting can really boost muscle synthesis. As a female vegan, I sometimes worry not getting enough protein. BCAAs supposedly have zero calories, how exactly that works, I am not sure.<br />I haven't noticed any changes in body composition since I started taking this after my workouts. Perhaps this is due to the fact that I do mostly HIIT workouts using compound whole body movements and supersets, as opposed to traditional weight lifting.<br /><br />That being said, the powder is very fine and mixes well. The taste is a very sweet watermelon flavor. I find it quite pleasant, without any strange artifical sweetener aftertaste. Mixed with my MRM chocolate protein, this is downright delicious and a treat I look forward to.

Fermented bcaa vs traditional bcaa
Glad these are plant base fermented bcaa’s. Fermented bcaa’s also taste better than the traditional bcaa most company’s use that is made from a chemical process extracting it from human hair, nails and animal skin. All byproducts that would normally go to waste used to sell you disgusting crap. My next go to bcaa was naked bcaa but reading some reviews stating the company will not disclose origin of the BCAA I’m Glad I discovered the dark side of bcaa and found this brand. Tastes great as well. I love finding small name brand like this and hope they stay of good quality.

Good taste
Anyone that has taken BCAAs knows they are hard to choke down without flavoring. I just wish this was sweetened with Stevia instead of artificial sweeteners.

Good taste, good value, mixes "OK."
We like the lemon-lime better than the watermelon, but both are good flavors. I like the value per serving of 5 grams of BCAAs. I would like it to mix a little better. I pour a little hot water over it first to dissolve it, and then add cold water. It takes quite a bit of stirring to dissolve it in just cold water.<br /><br />It does help with fasted training, pre-workout, during workout and post-workout. We have noticed an improvement in workout intensity as well as lean mass gains.<br /><br />We purchased this after getting sent a sample of a different brand and flavor from a supplement company we order from. We really liked that brand's fruit punch flavor, and it also mixed much easier. The price per serving of 2.5 grams BCAAs was too high, however, so we ordered this product instead. For the price, this is the best option I have found.
