I have been using the powdered Muscle Milk Lite for over a year and I love it. My favorite flavor is the banana - I think it is absolutely delicious, even when just mixed with milk. So, when I saw this 'ready to drink' banana Muscle Milk product, I thought I would love it. However, that is not at all the case! These drinks have a very strange after taste and I can't quite figure out what it is. They don't taste at all like the powdered product mixed with milk. I have drunk two of them, and I'm not quite sure I can stomach the rest. I tried one on my husband and he swears I was trying to kill him. Thank goodness we have three sons...I'll try giving the drinks to them (who knows - sometimes it seems they will eat or drink anything).
