Taste		It tastes great no matter which flavour you get, if you havent tried it go out and get yourself a tub right now.
Value for money		Best protein for your $, may seem a little pricey
Ingredient profile		but you get one of the best profiles out there for a whey protein, as it is made from Isolates primarily.


Taste		It tastes great even in just water.
Taste		I suppose it's worth it though compared to spending what? 10 bucks less on a chunky, nasty tasting protein containing sugars and such?
Value for money		It is a bit pricy for one a months supply which is the downside (why im giving it an 8)


Taste		So i steered clear of ON products this time, except the Amino Energy which is a good product with a great taste.
Physical energy		So i steered clear of ON products this time, except the Amino Energy which is a good product with a great taste.


Taste		This is just wonderful, the taste, mixability, performance... everything is just yummy :-) I normally take it early morning and after workout.

Texture		Secondly, the taste is great (even with water) and it mixes smoothly.

Taste		It tastes great with either water or milk and I suggest this protein to any of my friends looking for a good protein powder.
Value for money		Probably the best and most reliable proteins that I've ever taken, I regularly use this protein because of the high percentage of protein per serving as well as being ok priced.


Taste		I love blending this flavor with peanut butter and a banana.


Texture		I mix with Skim Milk so it has the consistency of an almost milkshake, it's delicious.
Texture		If blended properly there are no chunks, and it goes down smooth and no metallic taste that I have found with other Protein Shakes.
Texture		The Vanilla Ice Cream, I believe does not taste like vanilla, it rather tastes like a Rice Krispie Bar, still rather delicious and goes down as smooth as a shake should.

Taste		Have been a big fan of Optimum Gold Standard Chocolate flavors
Taste		but recently I decided to switch it up to the coffee flavor- bad idea.
Taste		The after taste is really bad and I'm starting to wish that I hadn't bought so much of it.
Value for money		Oh well, still a great product at a reasonable price.


Muscle gain		Gained a significant amount of muscle while taking it.
Taste		Delicious!
Taste		It really does taste like a mocha cappuccino when mixed with milk or almond milk.
Taste		Tastes like a watered-down cappuccino when mixed with water,
Mixes well		It really does taste like a mocha cappuccino when mixed with milk or almond milk.
Mixes well		Tastes like a watered-down cappuccino when mixed with water,
Mixes well		Mixes pretty well.
Value for money		No complaints other than the price,


Taste		Best tasting whey out there.
Taste		Stack with Xtend green apple explosion and you've got the best tasting effective POW ever.


Taste		honestly the best flavor they have.
Taste		i can mix it with any flavor gatorade i have on hand and it tastes like a lollipop.


Taste		Great taste, great mixability, great nutrient profile, what more could you ask for?
Mixes well		Great taste, great mixability, great nutrient profile, what more could you ask for?
Ingredient profile		Great taste, great mixability, great nutrient profile, what more could you ask for?


Taste		They do have many flavors.
Taste		You can't go wrong with either flavor.
Taste		Vanilla though is a neutral flavor so its perfect on its own or to mix stuff with.
Taste		I've had:: Vanilla Ice Cream, French Vanilla Creme, Double Rich Chocolate, and Now Chocolate MINT.. Yum Yum I wish they had a multi-pack or something =)


Taste		I've been using ON's Gold Standard whey for a few years now and it's the best protein powder I've ever tried, both in taste and nutritional quality.
