Taste		DO NOT GET THIS FLAVOR!
Taste		Apple Pie is the nastiest tasting protein I have had.
Taste		It tastes nothing like Apple Pie, more like some sythetic plastic.
Taste		I usually love Optimum's protein, so I gave this flavor a shot and I do not think I will be able to finish the tub.


Taste		I tried a similar-flavored product and hoped ON's whey would be able to match it.
Mixes well		However, I barely choked it down when I mixed it in water.


Taste		I like the tropical punch because I can mix it with water and it doesn't taste really nasty.
Taste		Most flavors of protein I prefer to mix with milk because they taste nasty mixed with water.
Value for money		This is a good protein at a good price.

Dizziness	My only complaint about this protein is that I'm a little sensitive to artificial sweetners, so sometimes it gives me a slight headache.

Taste		Rocky Road is definitely the best flavor I have ever tried!
Value for money		Having one in the morning and evening helps me reach my daily protein intake goals at an affordable price.


Taste		The mixability and results are great...but the taste is surely one of the worst!
Mixes well		The mixability and results are great...but the taste is surely one of the worst!


Taste		YUM. Tastes amazing with water and even better when blended with ice.


Taste		Rocky Road(RR)it's like the bodybuilding gods graced us with a protein powder that finally taste like the pictures or name.


Taste		Only good in milk, water taste terrible very chaulky didnt notice realy any difference.


Taste		The only downside I've experienced is that if it's an older bottle then the mixabilty and taste are signitficantly lower.
Recovery ability		Extremely helpful for putting on lean muscle and promoting recovery.


Taste		The double rich chocolate tastes great with or without added sugar.
Taste		I can chug it quickly for when I am on the go or drink it spaced out without a bad after taste.
Mixes well		Optimum's whey protein dissolves quickly in water, I just put the lid on my bottle and shake it.


Taste		but this one has to be the best tasting one I have ever tried.
Taste		Great benefits, great for you, and great tasting.


Taste		Ive put on 10 pounds in just over 2 months... about the same results as myofusion The only problem i had was the taste, it was very bad tasting


Taste		The taste is not bad at all.
Recovery ability		Im not sure if this has really help me recover because its not like "oh i can feel it in my muscles ahh!"


Taste		Good protein for the money and tastes great.
Value for money		Good protein for the money and tastes great.


Taste		But the taste is not very strong for the double rich chocolate favour.
Taste		I used to have Mint Chocolate one and it tasted better.
Taste		The taste also tend to lose out after a few days of opening it.
Value for money		However it mixs well, is one of the cheapest protein powder given its quality.


Taste		Tastes great and mixes well with milk and the bcaa powder.
Mixes well		Tastes great and mixes well with milk and the bcaa powder.


Texture		Its really really smooth there isnt much mixing to be done with it.
