Taste		Love the taste!
Taste		Awesome protein...mixes well and is the best tasting protein I've ever had.

Taste		However it only tastes okay, not that great at mixing, and it is expensive.
Value for money		However it only tastes okay, not that great at mixing, and it is expensive.


Fat loss		I've been using this product for a month now and I have lost 3 pounds.
Fat loss		This is after trying to lose weight for over a year with no success.
Suppressed appetite		This seems to cut down on cravings and suppresses my appetite a bit.


Taste		I adore the taste of it.
Taste		I will drink it with meals, just for the taste.
Recovery ability		This product is the reason I recover as fast as I do.


Taste		I have tried plenty of ON's whey flavors and this one is probably my favorite.
Taste		I've tried vanilla and vanilla ice cream which both taste okay.
Taste		I think this flavor is so much better and it I don't think it tastes like cake batter.
Taste		but it it tastes like creamy vanilla!
Taste		Tastes delicious with no added sugar and a extra of protein.


Taste		The flavor i got not the best in water, Better With Milk as with most of them, Mixed really well.


Taste		It taste SOOOOO good with milk and other fruits :) NOMS


Taste		Taste is great,mixes well and works great!
Mixes well		Taste is great,mixes well and works great!
Value for money		This is a great choice for people who want quality for they're hard earned money.


Taste		Just purchase a 5lbs Extreme Chocolate milk, taste AMAZING and really easy to dissolve, no chunk or whatever left, really worth the money.

Taste		Stay away from the strawberry banana flavor unless you are looking for a "banana w/a tiny hint of strawberry flavor".
Taste		Very unpleasant to go through 5 lbs of a gross flavor.
Mixes well		Mixes easily.


Texture		The flavor doesn't get old, it mixes well and goes down smooth.
Taste		but it's by far my favorite not only for the taste,
Taste		The flavor doesn't get old, it mixes well and goes down smooth.
Mixes well		The flavor doesn't get old, it mixes well and goes down smooth.


Taste		Probably the best flavored protein mix I've ever tried.


Taste		I have tried the Chocolate Malt (8/10) cookies and cream (4/10) YUK! and now the Chocolate Peanut Butter is what I'm using today, it is BY FAR the best flavor I have tried to date, if you like peanut butter this one is for you!
Taste		Great taste goes down easy with milk!


Taste		I like this protein for taste and macros,
Taste		but something I have noticed though is that the 10lb bag is much lighter in color and has a less potent taste than the 2lb or 5lb tubs.


Value for money		Only complaint about it is that it is getting more expensive, when I first bought it in high school it was about $70 for a 10lbs bag, now it's over $100! other than that I love it.


Taste		This drink was one of the fastest absorbing and over all effective protien drinks that I have tried so far and the taste was great with no bad after taste.
