This powder has a very mild smell and taste and once sprinkled on my breakfast I couldn't really taste it, so I didn't overpower my fruit or nut flavours, and it blends well with my smoothies. I did mix it with a little soy milk to ensure all the lumps were gone, as I was going to add it to my soy kefir fermentation to increase the protein content, but once mixed it smelt a bit like peanut butter (a nice peanut butter smell) but I didn't want my kefir curds to smell like peanut butter, so I didn't end up using it for that. On a whole I love this protein powder!
