By far the best protein I have ever used...
By Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
I've been powerlifting for over 14 years & have literally tried it all. (well... most that is) Remember when Designer Protein was "In"? Anyway, I purchased this protein along with a handful of others @ a GNC (Yes, GNC... Retail price w/ no Gold Card) without first checking out the reviews. Basically a blind study using myself as the test subject. Out of all the proteins I tested, only ONE stood out from the rest. Being that I wasn't influenced in any way by a salesman, reviews, etc... my observations were not the result of a placebo effect. With ON, I not only maintained my weight but gained weight as well w/ consistent workouts. It did an excellent job of curbing my appetite as well as this has been my breakfast, every morning for close to a year. I recently decided to check out the reviews both online & on Amazon & low & behold, a 5 star average all the way. I'm not the least bit surprised. This is by far the best protein I have ever used.

Best quality-price whey protein out there!
By gp19
GeneralI've tried a couple of whey protein brands in the past and this one is by far the best. It's the best price for quality in the market and ON really put in some effort to develop a quality product.Cutting or bulking. Works excellent both ways.I started using this product in a cutting cycle Feb '11, after being off from working out seriously for about 1-2 years. This helped me drop from a 19% body-fat to a 6.5% (current) without losing any considerable muscle mass (my arms stayed at around 16' through the whole process). After I dropped to a low BFP I started a bulking cycle a couple of weeks ago to try and reach 17ish size in my arms, and then drop body-fat until I'm happy.I'm telling you, either if it's bulking or cutting if you combine this product with a solid diet you're going to have awesome results.Serving Size24gr of protein per serving is pretty good considering that the scoop is relatively small, which means that this product is highly concentrated (being a whey protein isolate).FlavorsSo far I've tried (in both water and skim milk): double rich chocolate, french vanilla, vanilla ice cream, strawberry and cookies and cream. The big winner for me has to be cookies and cream, not to sweet not to stale, just perfect, takes like real ice-cream without that sugary feel. Second place are the vanillas which taste pretty much the same, with a very imperceptible flavor, you might want to try this one if you're planning to make shakes adding other stuff in (such as bananas, peanut butter, etc). Third place comes the chocolate, which tastes like dark chocolate (kind of a sour flavor) which some people love, but I'm not a big fan of. In last comes strawberry, this one tastes like pure sugar for me. It tasted a little better when mixing with milk, but I couldn't believe the label when it said it contained the same amount of sugar as the other flavors because it's just TOO sweet.ConclusionI try to maintain protein intake at 1gr per lbs when cutting and 1.5-2gr per lbs when bulking, this is the perfect supplement to achieve those high protein levels. For me, this product constitutes approximately of 40-50% of my daily protein intake and I wouldn't change it for anything in the world.RecommendationIf you have a bigger budget you might want to consider ON's HydroBuilder for after training, and taking 100% Gold Standard Whey throughout the day.

Good Protein! Mixes Well! Great Supplement
By Tyce C.
ON whey protein is a great way to add protein to breakfast, supplement nutrients in your coffee, your favorite smoothie, and of course your pre-workout and post-workout.From what I've read and in my opinion, it's crucial to get at least 30g of protein within 30-45 minutes of waking up. For me, that's where ON comes in. For those on the go, ON whey is perfect to get the protein you need quickly. Also, vanilla ice cream flavor, mixes easily into any smoothie, shake or blended coffee. With 24 grams of protein and only 120 calories, why would you choose any other protein?UPDATE -- I've had Vanilla Ice Cream, Chocolate Coconut and White chocolate flavors and would say the flavor breakdown looks a little something like:Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard, Vanilla Ice Cream, 5 Pound: Flavor 7.5/10; Ability to mix with different ingredients 9/10Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard, Chocolate Coconut, 5 Pound: Flavor 8/10; Ability to mix with different ingredients 6/10.Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard, White Chocolate, 5 Pound: Flavor 9/10; Ability to mix with different ingredients 8/10
