We have Standard Operating Procedures that control how the bottle is filled and subsequently weighed to meet our manufacturing specifications. Like flour or powdered sugar, ON powder products can settle in the container during shipping or over time. There also needs to be room for scoopers and desiccant packets in the container.

    Enjoyed the flavor profile but for "double" and "rich" I expected more flavor per serving. I'd love to make a protein coffee each morning and not have to add more than a serving to taste the chocolate.

    My favorite protein powder. It’s consistent, it does the job, and it doesn’t bother my gut. Probably better ones out there but for the price this one is a win for me.

    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.

    I really enjoyed the taste of Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein Powder—it’s genuinely delicious and mixes well. However, I had to stop using it because I started feeling off after consuming it. I suspect the artificial sweeteners and flavors might be the culprit, as they don’t usually agree with me. Aside from that, it’s a fantastic product, and I love everything else about it. Unfortunately, I’ll be switching to an all-natural alternative to better suit my body.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great overall protein powder. My husband has taken it over as his preferred powder. Its a HUGE tub that will last us a long time. The flavor works with anything we have paired it with (berries, peanut butter, ect). The texture is great when blended, which is how we always make our protein shakes.
