Does this have a chalky taste? Gritty? Is a smooth, thick texture?

It is somewhat chalky, just like most proteins, if you want a yummy shake you either have to go to Wendy's or put some additives in. It isn't gritty at all. The texture depends on what you make it with; ex. milk-smoothest, water-runnier.

The consistency is comparable to that of Whey Protein. The powder itself is light, fluffy, and airy. The stuff mixes quick and easy with a magic bullet type of blender. I've always used vanilla flavored almond milk as the mixing liquid and that's pretty tasty, you can handle mixing with water if you had to but why is the question.

I've never drank with water alone so I cant tell you. Chalky never. Gritty never. I mix with coconut milk, avocado, 3 carrots, 2 tomatoes, kale, 1 grapefruit, texture smooth for sure.

It really has no taste. That is why I mix it with the other flavored protein powder. Also it doesn't dissolve well without a ball or something in the shaker. I have not tried it in the blender. That would probably work well.

It is more of a creamy/smooth texture. My granddaughter likes the flavor as well as the color.

The product is stickey in your hands. I would say the consistency is more like a gel. Definetly not as thick as toothpaste or cookie dough. And it is not runny at all. I would add that it is a cheap product. Would not hurt to check it out, but there are other, much more quality products out there.

The actual mix is like a vanilla flavor. I haven't had a plain shake on its own, I like adding in jello pudding mixes for flavors. It picks up whatever flavor of what you mix, but you can still taste the hint of vanilla--you can find a ton of recipes online. Personally I do not feel its gritty like some people have said, perhaps because I like malts (which tend to be gritty), I just don't notice it. Also, some say its just too sweet. I love sweet, but I think too it could be if you use water, milk, almond or soy milk. Using ice and certain flavors I feel it tastes like a blended frozen drink from starbucks or an icecream shop. I think meal replacement drinks like slim fast are watery, with the frozen blending it totally adds more consistency and you can make it taste anyway you want.

It is light, somewhat clear and thick. Definitely a smooth swallow but has VERY BITTER KICKBACK

Sort of has a very light chalky taste to it-nothing intolerable. I mix it with a cup of hot tea so it'll dissolve.

It is smooth with a very small amount of texture, not what I would call pebbled. It becomes smoother as it is used and the seasoning deepens.

It just has a light peppermint flavor, but it looks kinda like brushing your teeth with dirt and feels a little chalky. I take a small spoon and sprinkle it on my brush. Really makes mouth feel fresh and clean. I only use it a few times a week because it can be a bit messy. For preteen or teen good, but my 9 yr old said no way.

Im not sure if it dissolves easily and smoothly in water since I don't add it to water. As far as dissolving in skim milk, yogurt and berries I can definitely say yes. Better tasting than anything I have used and it is NOT "gritty".

It does have a "Rough" texture. Like the others, it seems to aide in the making/grinding of said food items. And I am VERY happy with it as well.

It should not feel gritty at all. I'm guessing you must have a bad batch (never happened to me before). Contact the seller right away!!

It has no aftertaste. I have even been known to eat it straight from the canister. It is pretty bland with just a hint of a light pleasant taste, but very mild. I use it in smoothies frequently. My husband, who is pickier than I, say it makes his smoothies gritty if I add too much. But I don't think it is gritty, even when I add a lot.

Pretty smooth, but has some roughness to it. If used on a face cloth it is perfectly smooth. Be careful to keep in a covered soap dish as standing water will soften the bar and it will turn into one pile of goo. It will also slough off in the shower/bath which looks a little weird with brown blotches everywhere, but these wash right away. Not even Dove soap leaves my skin as hydrated as the Du-Du bar. During the summer I don't even have to use a moisturize!

Not grainy or gritty at all. It flows like fingernail polish. Just doesn't glow, in my experience!

A little rough but not gritty. My came rough but seasoned well and have used often. Not sure why yours is gritty

It is quite thick but according to my daughter it tastes great. I've tried a little tiny bit and it seems yummy.

yes - there is a texture but it is consistant - not lumpy. My daughter has a centrifugal one and I think it would be the consistancy you are looking for. More like the consistancy of the V-8 REFRIGERATED juice.
