My favorite flavor

Not too sweet and not artificial tasting. If you like malt, don’t overthink it.

Price is decent

Mixes well . Taste of chocolate is very light. Its so light it's close to unflavored. But..Opinions vary. Thats just my take.

Ovaltine-like

This is my favorite flavor thus far (slowly trying them all). Very chocolate-y and the malt goes extra well with coffee for a great morning protein hit.

This Whey Power is Great Post Workout

Overall it is a great protein powder since almost any type of person would benefit. It's nutritional value is great and it is healthier than many whey powders out there. After 3 weeks of use, I have gained 2 pounds which shows it isn't a bulking powder. As an athlete, this is one of the best purchases one can make. I rate this powder a 4/5 for the reason being the taste is not unreal or amazing. The taste is not bad in any way it just isn't the best tasting product, but don't get me wrong, the taste is a 4/5. Great Product from Optimum Nutrition!

Good substitute for EAS Myoplex RTDs

EAS announced they discontinued MYOPLEX ready-to-drink 42G protein shakes. ON GOLD WHEY is a great replacement, even if I do have to mix it myself. The Chocolate Malt taste takes some time to get used to. But, it just protein that I am after.

favorite protein mix from a supplement site

Great flavor. Mixes easily. Prefer the chocolate malt over the double chocolate -- tastes better to me. Mixes well in a blender bottle, or in a Ninja with a banana and some ice or other fruit.

Great tasting if you enjoy chocolate malt

I'm always a bit wary of protein flavors, but this does taste pretty good. Granted, the shakes I make are with almond milk and heavy cream, so this naturally makes the contents taste better as it's not just straight water.

Superior Source of Protein

This is a great product from a very reputable company. Great source of whey protein and whey protein isolates. This product is a staple in my diet wether I'm building size and muscle or as a meal supplement when I'm cutting fat. I use ON Gold Standard 100% Whey and 100% Casein every day. There are more expensive and less expensive products on the market but I see true results with this product at a very fair price. They mix well and taste great too!!!

Not sure about this flavor...

The flavor of the chocolate malt has a bit of weird almost tartness to it. I wish I would have gotten just regular chocolate flavor. I do improvise and mix in just to make it taste better. Good thing is, this is low in calories and whey protein is awesome for you. I've been using the Optimum Nutrition shakes every morning for breakfast for the past 3 weeks and I've lost 4 pounds. I mix in different things like frozen fruit to make a smoothie, almond milk, yogurt, instant coffee works well in this flavor also. I try to make it a more filling breakfast and it keeps me full for a few hours. Love these, but will definitely try a different flavor next time. Probably vanilla....since that is such a versatile flavor.
