Taste		Absolutely delicious and easy to store!
Taste		Tastes like hot chocolate


Texture		2.Texture: This protein mixed very well.
Texture		I was pleased with the texture.
Taste		French vanilla cream had a great taste and I'm really picky.
Taste		3.Taste: Good taste.

Value for money		4.Price: This protein is competitively priced,
Ingredient profile		1.Profile: the ingredients here were on par with other proteins out there in this price range.


Taste		The results are quickly visible, and the taste is great.
Taste		Caramel Toffee Fudge is the best tasting I've tried


Muscle gain		I thinks its an ideal choice for people looking to gain lean muscle, simply because its pretty low in calories
Taste		Tastes great with milk.


Taste		but this flavor is the nastiest.
Taste		The faux apple taste will linger in your digestive tract, reminding you each time you belch, just how much you still have to consume from that 2lb jar.
Taste		I've even mixed it with (brace yourself) Chocolate Malt (which tastes yummy by itself) to try to get through this bad purchase.


Taste		My favorite flavor so far!
Taste		Taste great even with water!


Taste		This had to be the best tasting of any protein powder I have tried.
Mixes well		It mixes easily, has a great supply of BCAA's, and doesn't make me feel sick when had immediately following a workout -- unlike Muscle Milk and the GNC brand crap.


Texture		Not thick at all; like drinking water.
Taste		Very light taste - easiest protein I've ever mixed and drank.
Mixes well		Mixes with shaker bottle perfectly.
Mixes well		No clumping ever.


Taste		Love the variety pack to let me choose which flavors I like best.


Taste		What a great whey (pun) to test different flavors from ON.
Taste		I was overall very pleased with the flavors.
Taste		Some of them did not taste anywhere like I thought it would; for instance, I love cookies and cream and it really did not taste like it at all.
Taste		Also, deliscious strawberry was good too; it tasted like bubblegum!!
Taste		Over all I have plenty of flavors I can now trust to purchase in bulk.
Taste		Also, some flavors didn't mix well,


Taste		but, cake batter taste more like milk with a little flavor of batter at the and not bad


Taste		not too close to a root beer taste has a bitter aftertaste and is real foamy unlike the other ON flavors


Taste		To me, this is pretty artificial tasting - I don't think I would buy again.


Taste		It tastes great and sometimes I mix it with lowfat yogurt and a banana.
Mixes well		It mixes great in a blender, shaker or even in a spoon.


Taste		best way to try all the flavors without committing to a huge tub right off the bat.
Taste		i found that extreme milk chocolate was the best tasting, followed by banana cream, then vanilla.
Taste		the worst tasting was strawberry banana, it tasted like pepto bismal.


Taste		I honestly can NOT stay away from this protein flavor!
Taste		For a minor cheat, I mix it with a half a banana, ice, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and BAM - what could taste better than chocolate-coconut-banana and peanut butter!


Texture		Anyone who has used Optimum Nutrition's other protein products knows how well they mix without the lumps some others have and lack of grittiness.
Texture		I only miss the thickness that a real eggnog has.
Texture		The taste rating would be a ten if they could get a thicker consistency.
Taste		That being said this review is about the eggnog flavor itself.
Taste		We all have our "go to" flavors that we buy on a regular basis.
Taste		So when I saw eggnog as a flavor option I crossed my fingers and ordered some.
Taste		Well, I am glad to report that this flavor is AWESOME.
Taste		The flavors are spot on.
Taste		No chemical artificial taste, a hint of nutmeg, vanilla and even the right shade of yellow to remind you of the holidays.
Taste		The taste rating would be a ten if they could get a thicker consistency.
