Taste		I've tried a bunch of different flavors and while this can be very subjective, I think that the Mocha Cappuccino is hands down the best (of the ones I've tried).
Taste		It tastes like a Starbucks Frappuccino


Taste		The only flavor I have found that I dont like is the cookies and cream.
Taste		ON makes great tasting protein and it mixes very well.
Mixes well		ON makes great tasting protein and it mixes very well.


Texture		It blends fairly smooth and tastes pretty good when used with milk.
Taste		It blends fairly smooth and tastes pretty good when used with milk.
Value for money		It is relatively inexpensive, and it produces good results.


Taste		tasted like crap and has high fructose corn syrup as an ingredient.
Taste		ON's other flavors dont contain it.
Taste		i would choose another flavor


Taste		only negative is i probably chose the wrong flavor , dissolves well no bloating and had overall good vibes from it, would and will buy again.

Taste		Flavor wise I feel disappointed, taste its not so good, I even like the body fortress vanilla flavor over this one, as far as its effectiveness i would give an 8 due to some help in recovery process, since in some way has shorten soreness, like the fact that contains less fat, calories over other brands

Mixes well		Mixes extremely well, nearly no shaking involved.
Mixes well		There was the occasional nasty clump


Taste		Mixes very well and tastes great mixed with greek yogurt, cottage cheese etc. Reason I gave it an 8 was because I was expecting a more cake battery taste and it resembles more of a vanilla flavour.
Taste		However, I love vanilla flavor... just wish it tasted a litttttllllle more like cake batter.

Value for money		but sense the new pro series is out I am sickbed by the increase in all optimum nutrition prices so sad 5 pound container.


Taste		I've got three flavors on my shelf right now that I rotate through daily.
Taste		Right now it's a toss-up between caramel toffee fudge and cinnamon graham cracker for my favorite flavor.
