Taste		definitely one of my favorite proteins, high quality,great taste.
Value for money		Amazingly it doesn't begin to go rancid like other cheap brands.great


Taste		No complaints with the flavors.
Taste		It's basically the Hispanic version of chocolate milk and tastes a bit different than the chocolate milk powder with the bunny on the can lol.
Taste		Anyways, I would have preferred if the taste was a bit stronger, less chocolatey,
Taste		I also liked that the flavor was not overpoweringly sweet, I'm not the biggest fan of super sweet flavors.
Mixes well		Dissolves pretty well.
Mixes well		I used this one mostly without a shaker, just stirring it with a spoon in a cup for a bit, and I did not have any clumps at all.


Taste		In a world of thousands of different proteins it was nice to find one that is super light on the stomach and also tasty.


Texture		I had both the Cookies and Cream and Raspberry Smoothie Cookies and Cream was Meh at best Raspberry Smoothie is actually GROSS, its taste grainy or some thing...
Taste		Over all, The Product is great... Taste Great and great results... Cant say the same about this Brand of Casein...

Taste		Heard about ON Gold Standard whey from a friend since I needed a protein that doesn't sit heavy on your stomach and also tastes good so I don't feel like I have to chug it.
Taste		He recommended any of the chocolate flavors so I picked up extreme milk chocolate...holy crap...I didn't think whey protein could taste this good.
Taste		Tried a sample of the graham cracker flavor from bb.com and it was good - definitely the same quality
Taste		but the flavor can't compete with the extreme milk chocolate.


Muscle gain		There are no lumps when mixing with water/milk (very fine powder), it has a very large spectrum of ingredients for best muscle gain and (for me) it's the most tasteful whey out there on the market.

Texture		Taste is smooth and subtle for banana cream flavor.
Taste		Taste is smooth and subtle for banana cream flavor.


Taste		Taste is decent, something you can easily down quickly and not start gagging while doing so.
Taste		Easily an overall rating of 9/10, besides from the taste this is pretty much everything you want in a protein shake.
Value for money		The pricing is quite good especially on certain websites and of course when you buy it in bulk (10 lbs or ~4.5kg).


Taste		It tastes just like chocolate milk.
Mixes well		Very easy to mix with almond milk, no clumps, and is not bad.


Taste		Tastes great too!
Value for money		Absolutely love it, I've tried multiple other protein shakes in the past and nothing works as well as this one for the price that it is!


Taste		Great taste from the purest whey protein, great products


Texture		For me I really wish these were thicker.
Texture		When I make my normal protein shake these are soupy and doesnt really thicken for me as oppose to another brand that I've been using.
Taste		The flavors havent been super awesome that I had to repurchase the same flavor.


Pump		I was hesitant to order the Pumpkin Pie flavor, envisioning having to choke down shake after shake if I didn't like it.
Pump		The pumpkin flavor is not strong,
Pump		For those who love pumpkin flavor, try adding some real canned pumpkin to boost it.
