| [PRODUCT]63[/PRODUCT] I tried the chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla and the strawberry was by far the best. My wife is chocolate lover and she still thought the strawberry was better. The vanilla is the worst. As for mixing they all mix well at first, but after being exposed to air a lot they start getting clumpy. |

| i have only tried strawberry. at first tiem i tried it i thought it was awesome. but then a aftertaste all of a sudden occured. if you could imagine what fart taste like, then thats what the aftertaste tasted like |

I couldn't imagine...thankfully. Chocolate tastes great imo - just like chocolate milk. |

You're nuts. Vanilla is by far the best one. |

| I swear that ON reformulated their 100% Whey about 2 years ago; I have actually stopped buying it after the umpteenth container that just did not mix with a spoon. The "old" formula mixed so easily it was like water in water...no matter what flavor I buy now, it always clumps! ...meanwhile I bought the first container of Pro Complex I've had in about 5 years, it was cheap on clearance at GNC so I though I'd give it a try, and it mixes instantly like the old 100% Whey did... |

| ON is a great product. with that said-i'm goona switch to dymatize for a while. heard good things . also about 5 bucks less than ON. we'll see. nice variety of flavors also. 21.95 at DA.com for 5lb jug. |
| Posted by: GuardDog Aug 21 2005, 09:04 AM |
| I have tried both the chocolate and vanilla. Love them both because overall they are somewhat neutral flavors that you can add other things to when you want to change up the taste. I am about to order some more but I might try a different flavor just to how they are, probably strawberry. I heard one of them really sucks, but couldn't remember if it was the chocolate mint or the cookies-n-cream. |

| Considering I've never drank a protein shake before, I started with ON's Chocolate (double rich, no less), and now I look forward to my 2 shakes a day. tastes great, like rich chocolate milk, and since im using the shaker I have zero clumpage or grainy texture, just smooth chocolate milk. Of course Im mixing with whole milk as well. So far, so good, now im wondering if my 2 8oz shakes a day are enough |

| Be weary of the Strawberry...I also thought it was the best when I ordered a 2lb jug of it with a 2lb Vanilla after trying all the flavors except Rocky Road and Fruit Punch. After you order the 5lb and try it for 2 weeks, you get really really sick of the strawberry, UNLESS you're only drinking it with milk...with milk it's spectacular, but what isn't? I base all my reviews with WATER....chocolate and mint seem to be the best so far... |
| Posted by: cc-10 Aug 21 2005, 09:56 PM |
| strawberry seems to work best w/ water |
| Posted by: Island Roots Aug 21 2005, 10:01 PM |
I'm on my second 5-pound container of chocolate and it mixes even better than the first. Very pleased  |
| Posted by: methusaleh Aug 21 2005, 10:53 PM |
| Island Roots - do you use a spoon or a shaker? I can't bring a shaker into work so I have to use a spoon........ |
| Posted by: Jwillbc55 Aug 22 2005, 07:59 AM |
| ON Best List: 1.) Rocky Road- taste 10/10, my favorite whey 2.) Chocolate- taste 8/10, very good 3.) Vanilla- taste 7.5/10, great for adding fruits and flavorings 4.) Strawberry- taste 7/10, good at first but then gets old 5.) Tropical Punch- taste 7/10, I'm not a fruity flavor kinda guy *Only had a sample of Chocolate Mint so I can't give it a full rating (but it was good) |
| Posted by: Island Roots Aug 22 2005, 12:40 PM | ||
I use a shaker all the time - have never used a glass and spoon. |
| Posted by: Christopher78374 Aug 22 2005, 10:06 PM |
| I have tried lots of flavors from several brands and have to go with the ON Chocolate Mint #1 and Chocolate for #2 as my favs. I always use a blender so never have mixing problems. I even take a hand held mixing wand with me when I travel. Little more trouble but well worth it imo. Never have problems with clumps. Also whoever said that mixing it with milk is the best was dead on. The flavor competely changes when you use water. I would be affraid to use milk with the new tropical punch flavor though. |
| Posted by: gordongecko Aug 23 2005, 10:34 AM |
| chocolate mint is actually good. tastes good with just water. |
| Posted by: Jose58790 Aug 24 2005, 05:07 AM |
| for some reason the strawberry flavor tastes like chapstick to me... any of you guys feel me on this? |
| Posted by: HOVER Oct 17 2005, 06:21 PM |
| Are we talking about Gold Standard or Pro Complex here? I don't know about the chocolate, I tried the 10 lb bag and my first shake tasted funny. Subsquent shakes would always include that strange yet exclusive to protein powders taste. I'm not a fan of the chocolate, and I also tried the chocolate for Pro Complex. Pro Complex tasted even worse, the chocolate that is. I'm getting a 10 lb bag of strawberry, hope that will taste better. My first protein powder was GNC's Protein 95, Strawberry. I loved it. I hear that Pro Complex's Rocky Road tastes awesome...but when it comes down to it, no one can accurately judge which flavor is best for you because everyone has different preferences. |
| Posted by: adrenaline77 Oct 17 2005, 06:40 PM |
| I have the On Vanilla, i love the taste but it just wont mix for me. It will be all clumpy at first then if you let it sit there for about 20 minutes, its gets more clumpy. But i just down it. Maybe i need to get a shaker. |

| Whatever you do, NOBODY BUY THE COOKIES N' CREAM. |
| Posted by: fatguy Oct 17 2005, 07:05 PM |
| GOOD ADVICE eat dirt. Cookies & Cream is the nastiest protein I' ve ever tasted in my life. (except for myoplex) Double rich chocolate is the best I've ever tasted in my life (along with dutch chocolate isopure) I mixed up the cookies n cream and had to dump it out, then I puked all over myself while pooping my pants at the same time. |

Damn dude that really sucks. Sorry to hear that |
| Posted by: D-rOk Oct 17 2005, 07:39 PM |
| i got the strawberry flavor and i think it tastes delicous w/milk, however with today at the gym after my workout i had to use water with it and as i was about 1 gulp from empty i had to spit it out i just couldnt get it down |
| Posted by: fatguy Oct 17 2005, 07:39 PM |
| Yeah it was pretty bad b/c I was at the gym, and I was doing squats. |
| Posted by: ENGAGE Oct 24 2005, 01:18 PM |
| I bought the Chocolate, and my friend got the fruit punch.... the fruit punch tastes like complete ass. it almost made me barf. The chocolate was great though. I'll probably get more. www.engagetheband.com www.myspace.com/engagetheband |
| Posted by: Robert87653 Oct 24 2005, 03:41 PM |
| I have to agree with everyone else about the strawberry flavor. It tastes good but when you are drinking it every day it soon gets old. I have been using the chocolate for months now and it is probably the best protein I have ever tasted. |

| Any flavour besides vanilla or chocolate seem to get nauseating after a short amount of time. I think that Scivation/Primaforce and Syntrax have better tasting chocolate flavors but for the price the ON cannot be beat. I also thought that hte gold standard fruit punch was decent tasting, pretty diluted though. |
| Posted by: tintinet Oct 26 2005, 10:18 AM |
| Just tried out my Rocky Road this AM. Interesting flavor, and not unpleasant, in moderatation, but not something I wanna consume in larger quantities or every day.... Chocolate is solid. IME, vanilla is OK but not top notch- I prefer Designer Whey French Vanilla or Champion Pure Whey Protein Stack vanillas to ON's. |
| Posted by: FIREMAN1173005 Nov 1 2005, 05:59 PM |
| I have only tried the vannilla but I love it and I am very particular about how my protein tatse. I mix it with about 6oz. of skim milk. |
| Posted by: BIG_BLUE Nov 2 2005, 01:13 AM |
| BEST tasting protein !!!!! |
| Posted by: Michael99060 Dec 3 2006, 12:42 PM |
| This is for the ppl who say stuff like 'I wanna add 20lbs of muscle & this stuff didnt do it'. PROTEIN IS JUST XTRA PARTS 4 WHEN UR BODY IS MAKIN MUSCLES & CONNECTIVE TISSUES. EATING MORE WILL NOT INCREASE MUSCLE MASS INDEPENDENT OF UR EXERCISE ROUTEINE! BUYIN THE BIGGEST BOX OF LEGGOS WILL NOT MAKE A KILLER APOCALYPTIC MONSTER! FOLLOWIN THE INSTRUCTION BOOK (GOOD EXERCISE PLAN) & HAVIN ENUFF LEGOS (COMPLETE PROTEIN) HOWEVER, WILL ALLOW U 2 BUILD THE BEST LEGO MAN THAT UR GENETIC POTENTIAL ALLOWS. That being said, this brand mixes well, tastes great, & is an excellent complete protein source. Its also one of the lowest priced protein supplements available. I'm thouroughly satisfied with the product & will use it whenever i wanna increase my protein intake without the xtra cholesterol & fat that comes standard issue w/ most complete animal sources. |
| Posted by: jcsouthcentral Dec 5 2006, 01:40 PM |
| I did a 5lb container of the double rich chocolate first with water which wasn't bad and then with milk. With milk it is delicious. I add a spoon of Nesquick and it really goes through the roof with flavor. I am working on the Rocky Road flavor now. Its not bad, but it does not compare to the double rich chocolate. It has a little bit of a different texture and aftertaste. Still very good for a protein source. |
| Posted by: Will109090 Dec 6 2006, 01:50 AM |
| First protein supplement I ever tried was ON Strawberry, and that was a little over two years ago. Been using it ever since. Sure, the taste gets old after awhile, but I could care less. I just need the protein. I'm not a big chocolate fan, and I'm too afraid to try the vanilla (even though I love vanilla). |
| Posted by: ownedbybiggs Dec 10 2006, 09:10 AM |
| SAN Infusion is the hands down best tasting there is, chocolate peanut ....no contest, just a little pricey |
| Posted by: gonzosc1 Dec 10 2006, 10:14 AM |
| well I just bought the chocolate mint and vanilla. I mixed both with water. The chocolate mint rocks, I love this stuff. but the vanilla is kinda weak in the flavor department. I tryed using less water to bring out the flavor more but it didn't work. no matter which way I mix the vanilla I taste mostly the water. its not a total bad taste but its leaves a lot to be desired. I need to find a way to use the vanilla in a mix of some sort, cuz I do see it sitting on the shelf for a long time.......... chocolate mint rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Posted by: drstamper3 Dec 10 2006, 05:56 PM |
| I've tried the chocalate, strawberry, cookies and cream and rocky road. The only ON protein I haven't been terribly crazy about was the strawberry. The thing about the cookies and cream that is funny is that it tastes more like cappacino than ice cream. |
| Posted by: SuperMike3288 Jan 3 2007, 11:04 PM |
| Dymatize Xpand is a great product so I have thought about trying their Elite Whey. Overall, I have had Vanilla, Chocolate, Mint, Rocky Road and Strawberry. In my personal opinion Rocky Road is the best. I also like the Chocolate a lot. Mint is okay, except has a funky aftertaste. I couldn't stand strawberry or vanilla, but thats just me. |
| Posted by: tallskinny Feb 1 2007, 12:21 AM |
| yea so i use CHOCOLATE MINT with MILK and i look forward to drinking my protein shakes every day, ON Chocolate Mint is absolutely delicious!!! I've also tried VANILLA with MILK and its not bad. I think vanilla always tastes the same no matter what brand. |
| Posted by: ftank Feb 2 2007, 12:32 PM |
| 3 scoops ON Vanilla Whey 1 cup of ice 1 scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream 1/2 cup fresh blueberries ..add milk to vary your consistency. Blended. Tastes WONDERFUL!  |
| Posted by: derek99512 Feb 10 2007, 06:42 AM |
| just got my latest order. chocolate casien tastes like that american chocolate milk called yohoo or some shit like that there "limited edition" new flavour extreme milk chocolate is better that there double rich chocolate |
| Posted by: alexoc949 Feb 10 2007, 02:46 PM |
| i'd say Peanut Butter is one of my favorite homemade meal replacement type shake iingredients |
| Posted by: calotono Feb 20 2007, 08:59 PM |
| why is this the best selling protein? i dont think this protein tastes better than synta 6... |
| Posted by: ANIMAL333 Feb 20 2007, 11:45 PM |
| Its not about the taste, its about the quality. Go to the store and buy some candy if your looking for taste. |
| Posted by: calotono Feb 20 2007, 11:46 PM |
| im sorry i didnt mean to offend u |
| Posted by: calotono Feb 25 2007, 10:21 PM |
| is it true that this protein is number one only for the price? i heard that it doesnt give you anything special... |
| Posted by: rwposu Mar 5 2007, 01:48 PM |
| I recently started taking 100% Whey ON and like it. But does anyone have sexual perfomance issues when taking this? I know it sounds stupid and have not read any issues with it, but when I stop it for a day I notice my libido is strong again. The only other things I take are a mutli-viatamin and fish oil, and try to eat a health diet. Please add any insight you can. Thanks. |
| Posted by: calotono Mar 24 2007, 11:36 AM |
| nitro tech hardcore is a million times better. check the ingredients and see it for yourself. and come on 55 bucks for over 60 servings IS NOT OVERPRICED. at least not for a protein powder containing alpha lipoic acid, taurine, creatine and a million other high quality stuff. |

| I use the the mint chocolate flavor by on and it tastes great and mixes well hard to find in the 10 lb bags though. |
| Posted by: echoug Sep 20 2007, 01:24 AM |
| I haven't tried any flavor yet ecxept for chocolate i mix it with friuts and shake it with ice. The taste so far is awsome i might try the vanilla flavor for a change later after i consume all my choco surge.. |
| Posted by: BA43 Sep 25 2007, 05:13 PM |
| ON is rated highest because you get so much for your price, while it is also an excellent whey protein. Syntha and Muscle Milk of course will taste better but are far more expensive |
| Posted by: Big_Ben Sep 26 2007, 11:34 AM |
| I usually drink the O.N. Tropical Punch with water before and after workouts. For some reason I decided to mix it with milk just for fun last nite.....holy shit was that good. Tasted like a smoothie or a tropical orange julius!! So good I mixed another with breakfast...I'm hooked! |
| Posted by: Movin_Weights Sep 26 2007, 11:38 AM |
| i gotta try some of the tropical flavors... i don't even drink my shakes anymore half the time b/c i'm so sick of vanilla/choclate shit! have to force them down |
| Posted by: Big_Ben Sep 26 2007, 11:54 AM | ||
Damn dude make the change!! I hardly get Choc or never Vanilla...I do get the Choc Mint though thats good. Banana, Strawberry is usually good. I've got Dymatize coming, 10lbs broken up between Banana, Pina Colada?!?!?!, and Orange. Orange NitroTech was soooooo good, it was on sale at one point for $10 for 2.5 lbs, Everytime I'd place an order I'd get like 5 of them and just drink protein all freakin' day. Damn that was as good as ice cream, and I made crazy gains!! I hope the Pina Colada is good, never ever thought that'd be a flavor!! But then again Root Beer flavored protein is one I'd never think of either, isn't that a Muscle Milk flavor?!!! |
| Posted by: willpiazza31 Sep 26 2007, 03:37 PM |
| Anyone try the ON's cookies and cream yet? I almost picked some up last night. I imagine it's pretty good. |
| Posted by: Movin_Weights Sep 27 2007, 12:03 AM |
| yeah i used it a while back, it's pretty good... not as good as muscle milk's cookies n cream, but thats my all time fav tasting powder... On's is def worth buying IMO |
| Posted by: Will109090 Sep 27 2007, 12:34 AM |
| I'm thinking of going with Cytosport Complete Whey because Muscle Milk and CytoGainer taste so damn good, so their whey must as well. |
| Posted by: Big_Ben Sep 27 2007, 11:04 AM | ||
+1 I agree, but wasn't as good in water as it was in milk. I do morning and bedtime shakes with milk and pre/post workout with water. So I usually do Choc.Mint or C&C and Tropical Punch. I used to drink the shit out of C&C, then switched to the Mint which is good in both. Chocolate and water with a tsp of Dextrose tastes great, I'm sure it'd work with the C&C. Back in the day I always did Strawberry and mixed it with OJ. |

| they put out a different chocolate flavor recently which is by far my faveriot tasting...vanilla ice cream is aweful, the only other flavors ive had our chocolate mint, strawberry, chocolate, rocky road, and cookies and cream, strawberry was my faveriot but i just went ahead a got a 10lb bag of rocky road...so good |
| Posted by: ANIMAL333 Oct 18 2007, 10:08 PM |
| Syntha 6 is amazing but it's too damn hard to mix. The only way to fix the clumps is by using a blender. |
| Posted by: Succio Oct 19 2007, 01:25 AM |
| snytha 6 is average, the cookies and cream was garbage, the vanilla was okay and the chocolate was a step below vanilla. yes it did clump quite a bit. |
| Posted by: Jayv24 Oct 19 2007, 03:47 AM |
| Im on my 3rd bag of ON i started with a 10lb bag of rocky road. Pretty good stuff. I tried the Double chocolate and found it better than the Rocky. When that bag was finished, i tried a container of Whey protein isolate by Now Foods... It totally sucked Ass! I use to absolutely dread drinking it, it was that bad. They use a sweetener called Stevia in it...which tastes really horrid and has a nasty aftertaste. Back to ON again...double chocolate. Its like drinking Nestle's Quik or something...  i love it. |
| Posted by: opfor101 Oct 19 2007, 07:18 AM | ||
haha but then stevia is considered the healthiest sugar alternative out there. and its like 300 times sweeter than table sugar. |
| Posted by: bale Nov 10 2007, 12:42 AM |
| iv only tryed Chocolate it tastes good great to me i might try out strawberry next |
| Posted by: willpiazza31 Nov 10 2007, 12:41 PM |
| I got an email from Optimum Nutrition saying they're going to have seasonal flavors. One of them is Egg Nog!! I have to find this. |
| Posted by: JW32Hoops Nov 10 2007, 12:43 PM | ||
A buddy of mine makes chocolate egg nog around the holidays...calls it nig nog. |
| Posted by: yeashescool Nov 10 2007, 03:56 PM |

| Posted by: Doogsy Nov 10 2007, 04:37 PM |

| Posted by: derek99512 May 17 2008, 10:28 PM |
| just got ordered a 5 lber of chocolate mint. bb.com has pumpkin,apple cider,gingerbread and egg nog. |
| Posted by: JW32Hoops May 17 2008, 10:34 PM | ||
Anyone ever try these? I've only had ON's chocolate and casein choc supreme. Gingerbread sounds like it might be decent. |
| Posted by: Chris25533 May 18 2008, 12:53 PM |
I like ON's double chocolate, chocolate mint, and tropical punch. I just havnt used it in awhile since the price of it went up. I switched over to EAS and Dymatize pina colada which I might have to say is my favorite protein for the summer months. My girlfriend some how suggested we try butter toffee by dymatize, but I honestly don't know what i'm in store for  |
| Posted by: willpiazza31 May 18 2008, 01:02 PM |
| I like ON's 100% strawberry/banana. |
| Posted by: DownTown May 18 2008, 05:26 PM |
| ya, im definitly going to get some of that chocolate mint, mmmmmmmmmmmm, does it taste like those Andies mints?? |
| Posted by: Chris25533 May 18 2008, 05:39 PM |
| Yep, its got that chocolate flavor with that cool mint flavor to follow.. |
| Posted by: DownTown May 18 2008, 06:46 PM |
| DAMN...... im gonna buy stock in that company... yummmmmmm!!!!! |
| Posted by: Jayv24 May 19 2008, 04:50 AM | ||

It sounds disgusting! |
| Posted by: Jack-iron May 21 2008, 03:58 AM |
| On is a staple for me i use vanilla cream adn find it tastes great with anything, its just one of those staple things i never run out. |

| Posted by: Jack-iron Jun 18 2008, 05:48 AM |
| On is the best it mixes perfect shake it with water milk juice gatorade magic milk anything!? vanilla cream can be mixed with anything for a great taste there are no other proteins in my opinion. |
| Posted by: cc-10 Jun 19 2008, 05:50 PM |
| havent had a flavor i didn't like from them....chocolate, vanilla, cookies an cream, rocky road, and maybe bananas and cream |
