I have been using ON's 100% Casein protein before bed for quite some time now and really enjoy the product...

Taste: I have to be honest, this isn't one of the best tasting shakes I ever had. I enjoy 100% Whey but this doesn't even come close. It kinda has that "makes you want to gag" taste to it. I wouldn't say that it is unbarable but I wouldn't say I could drink this all the time for the fun of it. I struggle to get this shake down before bed. I have the chocolate and am afraid to even try the vanilla. I would rate the taste of this product 4 out of 10.

Consistancy: I wouldn't say this shake is super thick, but it is a lot thicker than the normal whey shakes. Some of the powder gets stuck on the inside of my shaker bottle and never mixes. It goes down kinda like sludge... Again, I have to force these shakes down. You can almost taste the powder when you drink it too, like it doesn't completely mix. I'm not sure how other casein proteins compare to this one though or if they are all the same... I would rate the consistancy of this product 5 out of 10.

Overall: Overall the product does not take good and I really don't like the consistancy of it. But as far as ingredients, it does the job. You sometimes just need to tough it out and not go by taste in order to meet your daily requirements. The product is a slow digesting protein supplement meant to be taken at night and that is exactly what it does, so I cannot knock the product for doing as it says it should. Overall I would rate this product 7 out of 10.
