Muscle gain


Taste		I think this is the best tasting whey protein powder on the market!
Taste		The vanilla ice cream I sometimes mix with orange juice & it tasts like an orange creamsicle, I also know people who've mixed it with V8 fusion for the same great taste, the double chocolate is delicious too & simply mixed with water tastes like chocolate milk.


Taste		Great tasting protein, it still tastes great with water; it actually tastes like cookie and cream milkshake with milk.
Taste		I highly recommend cookies and cream; on the other hand, double chocolate tends to have a more 'watery'/less bold taste.
Taste		but cookies and cream tend to have a great bold taste.


Texture		Delicious by itself or in a smoothie.

Taste		Great Taste, Great product, cant wait to try them ALL.I added it in water and shaked it and it wasn't clunpy,messy, or bad in ANY way.


Taste		Mix it with milk and put it in the freezer before you go to the gym and you got yourself a protein shake that tastes better than a McDonalds milk shake.


Taste		Umm, It tastes good
Taste		You want taste?
Taste		As far as i'm concerned, This product is a waste of money and is graded on its "taste".
Recovery ability		This protein powder over 2 canisters 5lbs didn't give me any noticable results as far as power or recovery.
Value for money		As far as i'm concerned, This product is a waste of money and is graded on its "taste".

Texture		I really enjoy adding this to recipes like protein pancakes or high protein fruit smoothie.
Taste		This is a great protein powder that tastes very good and provides you with a really high quality protein source.


Strength		I noticed an immediate improvement in my workout; my strength improved quickly and has not slowed down.
Taste		I was surprised how well this mixes, and how great it tastes can’t even tell it’s even a protein shake.
Mixes well		I was surprised how well this mixes, and how great it tastes can’t even tell it’s even a protein shake.


Taste		Double Rich chocolate flavor tastes awesome with milk or water(i prefer it with water post workout for faster intake for the muscles).
Mixes well		Surprisingly it dissolves very well, even with just spoon stirring.


Taste		It tasted great, what made it even better was that this flavour particularly was always easy to stomach after a workout unlike some other products not to be named.
Taste		This protein was the easiest to drink with water after a workout as it was an even taste and not too strong or weak.
Mixes well		Also it mixed really easily, I tried mixing with a spoon a couple times and mixed as it said it would!
Recovery ability		I have tried many protein supplements before, I was finding that my recovery was low, I was feeling that I could not reach full recovery until 6 days had passed from a session.
Recovery ability		but shortly after taking, my recovery time shortened drastically, sometimes I would be sore only for one day to three days depending on the body part, great recovery time.


Taste		and how great it taste!
Mixes well		I was surprised how well this mixes!


Muscle gain		For a product to claim ‘double rich chocolate’ I would expect a bigger explosion of flavor.
Taste		I didn’t really like the fake tasting flavor from before so I decided to use Double Rich Chocolate this time in the 5 lb tub.
Taste		I very rarely have mixing problems with ON. *I used very little water, maybe 6-8oz and I was slightly disappointed with the taste.
Taste		For a product to claim ‘double rich chocolate’ I would expect a bigger explosion of flavor.
Taste		*With that being said, there is little aftertaste, which is a pro in my books.
Mixes well		Pros: *Mixability is good like usual.
