In their words

Fantastic way to easily get 32 grams of Protein. Love this powder because not only is it delicious but being lactose-intolerant, this is the only product in the market my tummy will accept. I tried 7 others, from liquid to powders, this is the best. Using 1/3 cup oat milk, fresh or frozen fruit, cinnamon powder, 1/3 cup cold water and 2 scoops of this protein powder.

Zuly · verified purchase · walmart.com

Muscle Milk’s cookies and cream protein powder tastes closer to Great Value sandwich cookies’ cookies and cream instead of Oreo’s flavor. This powder doesn’t inhibit (stop) headaches. After mixing MM’s protein with water, the protein powder remains clumpy. There was a lot of protein powder for a relatively low cost. I was underwhelmed by Muscle Milk’s cookies and cream product.
