This is just a taste review since Select is my go to protein.
Overall - When I first opened the tub, I had to give it a smell. There was zero peppermint in the smell test. It was just like a vanilla. Good, but plain. I first tried it in oatmeal. Instantly, as soon as the powder hit the oatmeal, prior to me even mixing it, the peppermint aroma came out. I've had the scent of powders slightly intensify before, but not like this. I thought it was the heat that brought out the peppermint, but when I mixed it in the Greek yogurt, the same thing happened. The powder literally goes from not giving a hint of peppermint to smelling like a peppermint patty.
In oatmeal, there was more of a white chocolate taste than peppermint. The peppermint was there, but was very subtle. This could have been because of the heat or because I had three servings of oatmeal to one serving of protein powder. In the Greek yogurt, the peppermint flavor really came through. It was like a York Peppermint Patty, but without the milk chocolate. Instead, a sweeter white chocolate. I do not drink shakes often. I would safety say if you do have shakes, you could expect the same experience I had with the Greek yogurt, a strong Peppermint taste.
With that in mind, I really enjoy it. If you are not the biggest fan of peppermint, I would not purchase this. If you do like peppermint, I would try and find this and purchase it or trade for it if you can. It is a nice change of pace from your normal flavors. I'm curious to see if heat brings out more of the white chocolate and makes the peppermint less subtle. Overall, very good, but no surprise there. Here are my rankings, keep in mind, I have never had Cookies and Cream.
1. CPBC
2. Vanilla
3a. Snickerdoodle
3b. WCP
4. Blondie
5. MC
I put 3a and 3b because SD is better for baking, which I normally do with my protein, but I like WCP in the Greek yogurt better than SD in Greek yogurt. Both are good depending how you use it.
