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.

Not overly sweet tasting
Favorite flavor! Not as artificially sweet as the chocolate. Just a nice mellow, chocolate malt taste. I mix it with 4 ounces of whole milk and 4 ounces of water. While it’s not a malted shake, it’s pretty good for a protein shake.

The best of the BEST!!! Delicious!!!
I had always bought optimum nutrition. Whey protein is always good to take in the morning and after a workout. That way your body can absorb the fast absorbing protein to fuel and build your body. Btw Strawberry banana is sooo delicious!!!

The best protein supplement yet!
It's tasty (I chose the natural vanilla), not too sweet, mixes extremely well - no clumps and has the highest protein content of any product I've seen. I look forward to my morning drink every morning when I get up - it's refreshing for the "morning mouth". I'm taking it since I broke my hip a few months ago and my surgeon recommended I supplement my diet with a protein drink in order to rebuild muscle.

Gross!
This protein tastes just as nasty as it tasted years ago. It has not changed a bit. I took a chance purchasing this junk based on some reviews that say it tastes good. Big mistake!

Great for those who can take dairy
Ive been using this protein powder for years and have never had a stomach issue. I put it in milk for post-workout and add it to my morning overnight oats. It mixes well and tastes great! My sister on the other hand; this stuff gives her extreme stomach pain. She switched over to the 100% isolate and had no problem with it.

Still The Gold Standard
ON has consistently had the best, most consistent protein and flavoring. I have lost over 50 pounds using their protein and will continue to use them as I work to rebuild mass.
