• Evaluating taste, texture, aftertaste, and overall experience on a scale of 1-10
• Discovering that plant protein options (particularly pea protein) ranked lowest in palatability
• Testing clear and carbonated protein options as alternatives to traditional milky shakes
• Finding Quest Protein Milkshakes (45g protein) ranked highest across all flavors tested
• Comparing protein drinks to protein bars for different usage scenarios and portability
• Discussing the benefits of different protein options for various workout situations
• Noting most products now feature improved taste and minimal sugar compared to older protein drinks
