    Increasing Prices, Decreasing Size

    This product use to be $10-$12 cheaper merely 3 years ago; the container was filled to the brim, so it was worth the price. Now? The price has steadily been raised for that time, and the servings have gotten smaller and smaller. The current containers are basically 80% air, and only a handful of servings. Not a good price for the product. Need to start looking at other brands. But to each their own!

    Best lean protein powder on the market and mixed incredibly well! Helped me pack on some lean muscle while unintentionally cutting as well! For context, I weigh, 185lbs, bench 280, should press 100s, etc. This stuff is legit!

    Best Protein Whey Powder

    I've benn using this powder for 10 years, and nothing beats it for taste and price. Mix it with yogurt, blueberries, and water or milk. Awesome. It's not fancy but has all the benefits of most protein powders at a better cost. I do wish Target offered 5 lb size too.

    Protein Powds

    My brother and a good friend rave about ON, and I've been wanting to try it out since I don't meet my protein goals on most days. I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy the powder, but it has quickly become part of my daily routine. I swim every day, and my shaker bottle and protein follow me to the pool. I make that shake literally right after I leave the pool in the mornings. The protein powder helps curb my hunger for carbs and snacks, and has a pretty good taste.

    Solid Protein

    I’ve been using this whey protein after lifting and cross-training, and it’s been solid. It mixes easily, tastes good without being too sweet, and is an easy way to get some quick protein in after a workout. Helps with recovery and doesn’t feel heavy. 8/10.

    Excellent!

    This is the best tasting protein powder I have tried in a long time. It blends beautifully, no chalky consistency, and no weird after taste. I do half a scoop and still get 12 grams of protein.

    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.

    Had Me Sharting for Days!!!

    I've tried different protein powders. This has a great taste and mixability. However, my stomach did not like it at all and could not properly digest it. I've been sharting for days and had to return this.
