Muscle gain


Taste		I like the flavor and its ability to mix with milk or water.


Taste		This product is awesome it help me to gain 5 pounds its one of the best tasting shake I ever took, the amount of protein in each serving is very good and mixes extraordinary well.
Mixes well		This product is awesome it help me to gain 5 pounds its one of the best tasting shake I ever took, the amount of protein in each serving is very good and mixes extraordinary well.


Taste		i love the rocky road flavor or double chocolate.
Value for money		i use to take these when it was cheap back then and im still taking it today.

Gas or bloating	this protein does not make you bloated like the others out there.


Fat loss		Upon arrival I have used a couple different whey protein products in my endeavors to go home leaner and meaner.
Fat loss		In the first half of my tour I've dropped about 16 pounds of dead weight and gained about 8 pounds of muscle using the other products.

Taste		Simply can't go wrong with it, and most of the flavors are great.


Taste		taste great and is about 50gms of protein with 2 scoops.
Taste		mixes very well, and did i say it taste great?
Mixes well		mixes very well, and did i say it taste great?


Texture		Mixed with cold water, it's quite good, and blended with ice and milk, it's like a pie flavored smoothie [which is the point I suppose].
Taste		I picked this up because I lean towards fruit-flavored wheys [Banana, strawberry etc...] and was curious as to how it would taste.
Taste		but has a distinct apple flavor.
Taste		Mixed with cold water, it's quite good, and blended with ice and milk, it's like a pie flavored smoothie [which is the point I suppose].
Taste		This flavor also mixed really well with my cottage cheese and greek yogurt.


Texture		but I can tell you what it doesn't taste like, rocky road, it tastes more like a chalky bubble gun that leaves a chalky aftertaste.
Taste		I've tried a few flavors of Optimum 100% Whey and most were at least average.
Taste		Rocky Road is by the worst of the three flavors I tried.
Taste		I am not picky at all with regards to taste either,
Taste		but it tastes very poor, even compared to generic brands.
Taste		It's hard to describe taste

Taste		Cheap price, lots of good stuff inside, tastes great too!!
Value for money		Cheap price, lots of good stuff inside, tastes great too!!


Taste		When you consider taste, cost, dissolubility, and effectiveness, this is the best protein I've found.


Taste		but m not sure, still it has great taste n is my daily need of protein...tastes better with milk(sugar is added, obviously ) than water, atleast to me.. great product..

Upset stomach	m giving it a 9 because sometimes it gives me gas n upset stomach, may b because i m not taking it, according to my body wght.....


Taste		This is by far the best protein I have tasted so far....I add water to eliminate any excess carbs or calories...have it ice cold and it's actually delicious..I use two scoops getting atleast 48 grams of protein.....And I am good...it is about time.


Taste		but this is just NOT a good flavor for protein.
Taste		I'm taking about 4-5 scoops/day now and just choking it down because I don't like the taste and you really can't mix it with anything other than milk (tried it with water and was even more dismayed).
Taste		I feel this thankfully Limited Edition flavor deserves to go OUT OF PRODUCTION.
Taste		Other Thoughts: I absolutely love the Vanilla Ice Cream and I just ordered some French Vanilla Creme (we'll see)... they mix well with fruit or chocolate milk or just whatever, and taste GOOD.
Taste		You can't mix this Vanilla Chai flavor with anything at all.
Taste		but I have to pan the flavor.


Taste		I find that the Vanilla Ice Cream flavor mixes well in a shaker.
Taste		The stuff tastes AWFUL with water though.
Taste		Otherwise it tastes well with milk, juice, or Gatorade.
Mixes well		I find that the Vanilla Ice Cream flavor mixes well in a shaker.


Taste		Very good taste, mixes easily without a blender, and good value.
