Mixes well		During cutting this protein powder helped me ratain my muscle, it mixes well with supplements.


Suppressed appetite		Using this protein has helped me suppress meal cravings and build lean muscle, I have had extremely beneficial results from this product and would recommend it to anyone who is serious about building muscle.
Recovery ability		This is a fantastic protein, for best results use milk, and serve it very cold, so its best to make them the night before so they'll be nice and cold before or after your workout, the protein has helped me recover very quickly from workouts and is an extremely good value.

Taste		It mixes the easiest out of any protein I've ever tried (GNC, Muscletech, etc. etc.) Mixability A+ Taste A+ It tastes like a milkshake if you mix it with milk and peanut butter Results shown A+ I'd recommend ON Whey to anyone.
