Muscle gain


Taste		Had fast recovery and for 1 month the flavour was still tasty
Recovery ability		Had fast recovery and for 1 month the flavour was still tasty


Fat loss		I am gaining lean muscle and dropping fat due to the 1g of fat per scoop, in comparison to the 6g in BSN S6.
Muscle gain		I feel bigger, stronger and more confident, and this is definitely one of the building blocks to getting there.

Taste		Taste: - 6/10 To be honest, I am a 6, not the product.
Taste		This is because when I was ordering it I refreshed the page which took it back to the default flavour, which was strawberry, which I did not want.
Taste		I'm not a fan of strawberry flavoured products and this clearly tastes of strawberry, so if you are a strawberry lover I would say go for it, as I've read lots of reviews where people say they enjoy the taste.
Taste		but with this flavour I tend to mix it with skimmed milk because it greatly improves the taste.


Texture		Smooth consistency texture of the protein, it tastes extraordinary too!

Value for money		but do the math you'll save a lot more money per serving.
Ingredient profile		O.N has high end quality ingredients and that's what you look for in a protein supplement.

Taste		It mixes easily, tastes great, and it lasts.
Mixes well		It mixes easily, tastes great, and it lasts.
Value for money		I think the pricing is decent especially for the results.


Taste		The taste is great, just add some almond milk or water and shake.
Mixes well		Dissolves quick and doesn't get chunky like others I've tried in the past.
Suppressed appetite		Control my appetite and has helped alot on my coffee habit.


Taste		Great product!! Extreme Milk Chocolate is by far the best tasting protein I have tried.
