 i think that Optimum nutrition reputable company when it comes to protein; this is a very good product that you can usually find a reasonable price.
it's profile (per scoop): 24g whey protein isolates, whey protein concentrate, whey peptides. 1g sugar, 3g carbs, 120 calories, 5.5g bcaas, 4g glutamine & precursors. while also being low is cholesterol(30mg), total fat(1g) and lactose.
the "Extreme Milk Chocolate" Flavor is the best tasting chocolate protein i've had. mixed with milk, it actually tastes like real chocolate milk; while the mixability is smooth leaving no clumps.
some protein shakes can leave you with an upset stomach or feeling lethargic; while this product seems to digest easily not causing bloating or any other problems that some might encounter with other protein.
overall this is an affordable, good quality protein that can help anybody achieve their goals. i would defiantly purchase this product again myself.

 I've tried alot of types of whey but this is the best by far. Most gains with less calories is a giant turn on for me:)
Fantastic amount of BCAA's
all the flavors are hella good too :)

 The price was pretty decent, one of the bad things that I have had with this product is the taste. It takes a while to get used to it, also this is not the best product to gain weight to, it should mostly be used as a meal replacement or weight loss in terms of a protein.

 Used this protien for years. Great whey isolate protien for after working out. Gives a great recovery. ON has great tasting protiens, therefore the taste on this is great! Mixes fairly well! Great value protien, 40 bucks for about 5 lbs.

 Got this at my local Vitamin Shoppe, on the upper east side of Manhattan everything there is overpriced... even for Vitamin Shoppe! But this product was on sale and i picked up a small tub of the Chocolate flavor for around 18 bucks I think.
It's the first supplement I've ever used and at first I used to just work out 3-4 sets per muscle group and do my whole body minus legs in one workout. I then took some of this and I woke up perfectly fine. Now that i'm doing more sets per group of muscle and splitting my body into "days", two scoops of this after a workout just doesn't seem to be enough, or maybe its my cutting diet plus a bulking workout (which I'm trying to make into a light weight slow rep but it doesnt happen easily)?
Either way this is a great beginner protein and is really cheap and good quality. I did love the flavor at first but then i took a month off from it after using it for a week, and it tasted terrible. Nothing a tablespoon of natural peanut butter mixed in in a blender with this can't solve!
Also used this as a morning breakfast replacement, added oatmeal into it and peanut butter and it really kept me full for a looong time.

 I decided to try this after hearing a lot of good things. It didn't blow my mind like I expected. Its a fairly average product. Choc mint doesnt taste very nice with water. It has a soury, weak-chocolate watery taste, followed by a minty after taste.. It is not as creamy as Id like it. It smells a lot better than it tastes, It is good value however. I dont understand the hype around this product.

| You most likely added too much water. Whey protein is not supposed to be creamy, its not muscle milk!
Also why would you pick an odd flavor like chocolate mint for your first batch? The people that rave about how awesome this protein surely are not talking about its chocolate mint flavor. |

| Whats so odd about choc mint? If this product has such great taste, choc mint should be no exception. |

| all of those weird flavors like choc mint or capuchino or strawberry are always going to taste really weird because you can't replicate those flavors well in a protein supp. |

 Wow, this is the best whey protein powder that I have ever tasted in my entire life. It seriously turns regular water into chocolate milk. Mix it with milk and it tastes 3 times better. It mixes really well, too. I mix 2 scoops with 10 oz of milk/water for 48 grams of high-quality protein. I have gotten some great gains with this stuff. I recommend this to everybody! I am never buying another brand of whey after using this stuff.

 This was very easy to mix. The taste was good. I got the dbl chocolate flavor since it is the "safe" flavor. Everything I have tried from this brand has been great so far. I was wanting to try another flavor and was thinking about the coffee flavor one or mocha cappuccino, has anyone tried these flavors? Would you recommend buying them?

| I've tried the Extreme Chocolate, Strawberry, and Cookies and Cream. Not sure what Rush is talking about - I love the Cookies and Cream flavor. Tastes great with natural PB and a banana mixed in.
Strawberry is pretty good but I wouldn't recommend it if you mix with only water. I strictly use the Strawberry for shakes with milk, yogurt, and frozen berries. |
