"Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) measures protein quality based on human essential amino acid requirements and our ability to digest it. The test protein is compared to a standard amino acid profile and is given a score from 0–1, with a score of 1.0 indicating maximum amino acid digestibility. Common protein supplements (whey, casein, and soy) all receive 1.0 scores. Meat and soybeans (0.9), vegetables and other legumes (0.7), and whole wheat and peanuts (0.25–0.55) all provide diminished protein digestibility. PDCAAS is currently considered the most reliable score of protein quality for human nutrition."
Would rather have this, no natural flavors, grass fed, and all concentrate (more bioactive immunoglobulins than isolate)

Better option
I have had some nasty tasting supplements in the past that I could stomach without an issue. I tried this protein powder (Orgain Organic Protein and Superfoods Plant Based Protein Powder) and it was without a doubt, the worst protein powder I have ever had. Terrible taste, it kept repeating on me and it gave me the diarrhea. I shutter every time I see it in Costco and I feel like it's my duty to tell people when I see it in their cart (I don't say anything, but I should). Proceed with caution.

How noticeable is the monk fruit taste?

A lot of people (myself included) can't handle sucralose without digestive issues and the Kirkland protein has sucralose. Generally speaking all the "best" tasting protein powders are loaded with artificial sweeteners and that's why people like the taste. If you can handle it and don't put any merit into the emerging data that artificial sweeteners are not as safe as we've been lead to believe then go for it. But for the people that are supplementing with protein and can't/don't want to ingest artificial sweeteners, then options are limited and usually less palatable.
