    This is a solid brand with an established reputation. The protein mixes really well with no clumping. I got the chocolate peanut butter, which has a good flavor.

    Classic protein power, mixes in water easily and dissolves well with no clumping in a standard shaker bottle with a ball. I got the fruity cereal flavor which is good, I prefer to dissolve it in 8-12floz vs. the standard 4oz for a more sports drink like flavor.

    If you are not sensitive to food additives, this is a good whey protein option because it dissolves well in water without having to use a blender or shaker bottle. I'm always on the go and don't have the luxury of using a blender. I like that I can just carry the powder in my bottle and mix with water when i'm ready to use it and it doesn't stay clumpy like other powders on the market.

    Flavory is super weak with just water. Its not bad with some oat milk. I use to replace breakfast. Going to try some different flavors down the road. Pro: Flavor is accurate, you get a lot for what you pay Con: Flavor is kind of weak compare to similar products

    I’ve been using this protein powder and it’s been solid. Mixes pretty well, tastes decent, and doesn’t leave that chalky aftertaste a lot of others do. I’ve noticed it helps me hit my protein goals more easily, whether I’m using it post-workout or just as a quick shake during the day. Overall, it’s convenient, effective, and worth trying if you’re looking for a reliable protein boost.

    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 for Breakfast Smoothie’s

    So a challenge I’ve had with many whey based protein powders is that when you use them in a breakfast smoothie it makes the smoothie foam up quite a bit, making them more challenging to drink. I use the Vanilla Ice Cream flavor now for my breakfast smoothies and it foams up SIGNIFICANTLY less. Not sure why this is, but my breakfast smoothies benefit a bunch every morning. The fruity cereal flavor I really like as well, but the flavor is pretty sweet so not everyone will likely be a fan.

    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.

    I've been buying this delicious protein for many years. On days where I've neglected to take it, I don't usually feel as energetic (I use two or more scoops per day mixed with Nesquick and 2% milk) I don't have a big appetite so this protein is important to meet my nutritional needs. This stuff is so tasty. That's why double-rich chocolate is my favorite!
