This Should Not Be $32

Was very disappointed with the taste. I am a huge fan of their chocolate flavored version and the peanut butter version, I was very excited to try this and was disappointed with how flavorless the strawberry is and how its taste a bit too sweet. If you dont mind sweet, I guess it'll work for you, however, do keep in mind that the taste was not only sweet but blandless. I have to add other condiments or fruits just to make myself drink this. The only things I like about it is the 24 grams of protein. I will not be buying this in the future.

Perfect Strawberry

This is a very good strawberry flavor. It’s not too sweet for me, but still has a very prevalent strawberry taste. As usual with ON products, it’s very thin and doesn’t have too much taste with water, but it’s still easy to get down. With just a little bit of added fat with almond milk, it’s perfect.

Like the flavor.

The flavor (strawberry cream) is much much better than the extreme chocolate.

Mixes well and tastes great

This tastes like strawberry milk and the flavor doesn't get old. Mixes well with water, no noticeable chunks of powder left behind

It's the Best for a Reason

I got back into lifting after years of being off, and the need for protein powder was overwhelming...the cheap stuff made me break out, and the cost of others was prohibitive. I decided to try ON Chocolate, and I found a winner. It mixes easily with water or milk, and I love the flavor both ways. With a blender bottle it has no clumps. I also make a shake in the morning with banana, peanut butter, olive oil, powdered oats, and a scoop of the milk chocolate, and its perfect for bulking in the morning if you don't like breakfast.

Great way to get your protein!

The Double Rich Chocolate is amazing. Taste and texture are perfect. I was expecting to have to choke it down to get my daily protein, but this stuff is amazing. It's a great support to my training, and as a 72-year-old woman I need that support.

Truly inspiring! We're happy Double Rich Chocolate is your protein of choice. Keep up the grind!

Eh

I tried the Extreme Milk chocolate and was pretty disappointed. It tastes stale in a way? I will say it was better by placing my shaker bottle in the freezer for a few minutes. But here I am with quite a large bag. I guess I'll have to get creative with some extracts/seasonings.

Plastics are killing our planet

Optimum Nutrition is violating their sustainability commitment by not reducing the amount of plastic they use in their protein powder containers.
