Mixes well but flavor just okay
Overall I've been happy with this protein powder. I got tired of my usual flavors so I wanted to try the Fruity Cereal flavor. It's not bad and I'm continuing to drink it after my workouts, but the flavor is just not exactly what I expected. On one hand it's a little more mild in flavor than I anticipated, but at the same time it's also a bit heavy on the lime flavor note (as another reviewer mentioned). However, it mixes very well and hasn't given me any digestive discomfort, so I would still recommend it.

Flavorful! Great value.
The fruity cereal powder tastes pretty good, but falls a little short of Dymatize's same flavor. It breaks up well for protein shakes and drinks, and for the nutritional benefit the value for cost is great. Would highly recommend optimum!

Personally I find this flavor to taste too sweet, especially when I double up on scoops. It’s a great brand, just not the right flavor for me.

Decent flavor but not Optimum's best
The smell is right, like Trix/fruit loops, but the lemon/lime flavors overpower it. It's good for a change of pace from the usual chocolate/vanilla/strawberry

Good Protein for Macros, not that great of taste
This protein is really affordable for the serving size also the macros are great for a protein. My negative comes in because the taste isn't all that great. It's okay, I know that it's a protein supplement but the flavor isn't very good mixed with water. But if you make a protein Ice Cream or shake it will taste better. I would recommend to someone else for sure but don't expect the best tasting protein you've ever had.

awesome product
im constantly working not getting enough protein in, im using this as a meal replacement and it helps me get enough protein in especially when I add pb powder, the whey,, cold brew coffee, and cocoa powder and eat a banana. it's great for both beginners and experts.

Tastes just like Trix cereal
It's wild, but it tastes just like Trix cereal. I've made a few shakes with it so far and it tastes great. I'm looking forward to getting creative with it though and trying some desert recipes.

just what we need!
I really like how this is low in sugar, high in protein and just enough calories! the flavor is great to add to most things - easy to make a protein coffee hot or cold, easy to put into a smoothie for the family or blend with the morning oatmeal!

It’s an awesome protein powder for starting back into the gym. Does not taste like the cheap protein powder.

Optimum Nutrition never disappoints! The protein powder mixes easily, tastes amazing, and delivers the results I expect. Definitely one of the best-tasting protein powders I’ve tried. Highly recommend for anyone looking to boost their protein intake with a great flavor. Always coming back for more

Great coffee creamer
Tastes good and mixes smooth. I use a scoop with just a little milk to make protein coffee creamer.

Awesome protein powder! Tastes great
Overall a great tasting protein powder with 24 grams of protein. Used it for an after gym protein shake. Added some peanut butter and bananas into it and tasted great. I got the vanilla ice cream flavor but I’m sure other flavors would be great aswell. Texture after blending it up was super smooth and not too chunky at all. Great that it’s only one scoop for the protein as other brands are multiple scoops.
