| Hi, I'm planning to order a bag of Optimum Nutrition's 100% Whey Protein, and I don't like chocolate so I need to choose vanilla or strawberry, which flavor did you like?? Thanks! |

| Although not my product of choice anymore, the vanilla is certainly better than strawberry. The fruity protein are only good for so long. Remember, you're going to be drinking this for awhile so your best bet is to stick with flavors you can get used to. - Fletch |

| Vanilla? Do you REALLY not like Chocolate? Because I found the Vanilla tasted WACK. I personally would point you towards the Stawberry. I think the Chocolate is the best, hands down, but-- if that's not your thing-- go the fruit-route... |

Never tried strawberry, but I like vanilla more over chocolad (may be cuz I ve been using chocolad flavor for last 10 months and I just got vanilla and it tastes different?)  They all taste GOOD, don't sweat it  |

| ON 100% Chocolate is the only protein I haven't gotten sick of, and I've literally tried dozens...I'm going to pick up a tub of the Vanilla next time to try it out... |

| chocolate wins hands down. strawberry is... well, let's just say that if you're going to pound every single shake you make while holding your breath, it's not terrible. if you are planning on actually tasting the stuff, and you reeeeeeally don't like chocolate, then get vanilla. oh, and for why ON is not preferred, check out fletch's sig on the AL boards... unless someone around here knows and wants to tell the whole story. |

| To make a long story short... Optimum Nutrition = dickheads That about sums it up. |

| I like Vanilla MUCH more than chocolate. At least with ON. Chocolate Mint is also nice... better than regular, IMO. But I'll still take vanilla over both. Better contents, more protein, and even mixes better. What's the story with ON? I have about 10 pounds next to me, don't tell me it's bad now.  |

| With ON, let's just say: Product Quality = People/Company itself =  (& a temptation to  some mo'fo's) |

LOL! |

| The only non isolate protein I can drink consistently without gagging is the ON 100% Chocolate Mint. It tastes soooooo good. I really didnt even like the ON 100% Chocholate at all, but the Chocholate Mint is great. |
| Posted by: Kaner Mar 9 2004, 09:56 AM |
| I like the Mint as well, but it does have more sugar and fat... I'm usually not that anal, but when it comes to something which I eat every day then it is important. |

| what about the cookies and cream? Is it any good? |
| Posted by: tabish121 May 26 2004, 04:38 PM |
| ON Cookies and Cream is about the worst tasting Protien I have ever tried, please steer clear. |
| Posted by: bactuffguy May 26 2004, 11:48 PM |
| I was gonna get ON chocolate 100% Whey Protien and mix it with ice, milk, and strawberries for somewhat of a smoothie cancaution...i used a different chocalte protein and this method and it tastes pretty good... |

100% agree!!!! i don't even know what to do with this shit |
| Posted by: GymFrk May 30 2004, 11:16 PM |
| I use to be really big on ON whey products. I have since changed brands. I have tried most of the flavors. I thought most were quite tasty at the time. This is just a thought.....I believe one should by a variety of flavors instead of depending on just one flavor to meet ones need nutritionally and as far as taste goes. I’m currently enjoying 3 different flavors. I believe this strategy keeps one from "burning out" on one flavor. |

To which brand did you switch, and which do you think taste best? Thanks! |
| Posted by: GymFrk Jun 4 2004, 07:54 PM |
| I currently have in supply whey protein from 3 different company's; Dymatize Elite Whey -vanillia flavor and cafe mocha, and MRM Metabolic Whey -chocolate I sometimes add fresh fruit to my protein mix.Also, try adding some ice. make it into a smoothie. My first shake in the morning usually consists of a any combination of stawberry ,banana, blue berry, or peanut butter. I always use the blender to mix my protein. I find the blended taste much more enjoyable than using a shaker or a spoon to mix. These are the brands that I use. According to the poll, dymatize products didnt far too well. Bottom line, its a matter of the individuals taste. I enjoy all three flavors. i consume two shakes a day. One first thing in the morning and during my workout. if i want another protein shake that day, i would switch to a slower digesting protein source, such as casein. I hope this helps you out in some whey.  I know its corny but thats me.  |

| I'm sorry. I meant to say im enjoying 3 different flavors from 2 different brands |

Thanks! I also eat/drink 2 whey including smoothies/day, most days. I've got some ON Vanilla and some DP French Vanilla. I usually use vanilla as a base, as it's quite versatile, with fruit, nuts, ground flax seeds, and lots of ice with some guar for consistency. ON is a bit foamier when blended and has more body than DP. They do have somewhat different tastes, but I like both. I'll probably try the Metabolic Vanilla next time.... |

| I've been taking ON's protein for 2 years now and I have to say that the Chocolate is the best. I like ON because it does the trick, and its the best bang I need for the buck. If you are going to get a 10lb bag, be sure to get Chocolate or you will be gagging after 5lbs on Vanilla or Strawberry. |
| Posted by: Dave876 Jun 16 2004, 07:14 PM | ||
Agreed! I just got my first tub of ON chocolate after using 2 tubs of vanilla ,and I can't see myself ever getting sick of this.... |

| Just wanted to add my $.02 on the Optimum Cookies & Cream flavor: freaking nasty. I tried exchanging it at GNC (hehe), but they don't carry it yet. Try mixing it with Hood's Carb Countdown Chocolate Milk, it makes it somewhat tolerable. |
| Posted by: Jeffgwa Jul 21 2004, 06:02 PM |
| Yeah, Cookies and Cream is absolutely terrible, despite all the other flavors being the best tasting protein I've ever found. I really don't understand why they don't discontinue this crap because had I tried it first as opposed to the Vanilla, I never would have tried the brand again. |
| Posted by: supaman Jul 22 2004, 09:32 AM |
| I have uses ON's strawberry and vanilla creme, both were tasty. The vanilla is a better buy since it meshes better with different things you may mix with it, soymilk, fruit, etc. EAS's simply protein, strawberry taste like Nesquick. Has anyone tried Any of the CytoSport Muscle Milk flavors?: Banana Creme: [Order] Bluberries & Cream: Chocolate: Cookies & Cream: Creme Brulee: Mocha Joe: Orange Creme: Peach Mango: Pina Colada: Rocky Road: Root Beer Float: Strawberry: Strawberry Banana: Vanilla: |

| Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Chocolate Mint is the best tasting protein around. I have tried at least 10 or so other brands and found this to be the best tasting but also highest quality for the price. Nitrotech is so overpriced and doesn't even taste as good. Too much sugar in my opinion. |
| Posted by: PotRoast Oct 27 2004, 02:21 PM | ||
That or go with Strawberry Banana, or chocolate mint. |
| Posted by: pwraudio1 Oct 27 2004, 02:49 PM |
| vanilla is good... Chocolate is in 2nd.... |
| Posted by: dxfrost Oct 27 2004, 04:56 PM |
| Strawberry by far! Tastes good in milk and water. Can't beat that. |
| Posted by: TommyD Oct 27 2004, 05:07 PM |
| Vanilla. I can add different flavorings |
| Posted by: Dave876 Oct 27 2004, 05:14 PM |
| Ok which of you MF'ers is going to be the first to try the ON Rocky road,and post a review? I did it for you guys with the Cookies-n-Cream!! |
| Posted by: Speakle Oct 27 2004, 05:32 PM |
| You know you liked the cookies n cream dave!! I just bought 20lbs of protein powder, dont know if I would try the rocky road knowing how much cookies and cream sucks. Seems like plain flavors might only be good? |
| Posted by: Dave876 Oct 27 2004, 05:35 PM | ||
I hear ya good point! Besides I only use Powder PWO,or when I really HAVE to so I dont really need some flaovored stuff... |
| Posted by: RepubCarrier Jan 4 2005, 11:56 PM |
| bump, out of nowhere: two questions, 1) Has anybody tried the rocky road yet?? and 2) is there anybody that doesn't like chocolate mint? i'd like to try that flavor out, and i'm buying thursday, so reply away! |
| Posted by: tintinet Jan 5 2005, 06:40 AM | ||
1. Yeah, and I like Rocky Road 2. I haven't tried Chocolate, Chocolate Mint, but I have tried Vanilla ON 100% Whey, and didn't like it as much as other vanillas (MRM, Charmpion, Next French). But I did like ON's Pro Complex Vanilla. |
| Posted by: seth25693 Jan 28 2006, 12:27 AM |
| Steer clear of the Tropical Punch. It tastes like chalk in fruit punch. Chocolate and Mint are the way to go. Vanilla isn't bad but I'm just not a fan of anything vanilla. |
| Posted by: Slayer of Souls Jan 28 2006, 12:41 AM |
| Moved to Supplement forum. 1) Waiting for some more TASTEmonials 2) IMO, Choco Mint is mediocre. Initially its refreshing but if you are planning on mixing it with dextrose then I would rethink buying it. Im just going to suck it up and buy Rocky Road. |
| Posted by: PennStateZ Jan 28 2006, 03:58 PM |
| I know a friend who has tried both chocolate and rocky road. He said the rocky road is decent, mixed with milk. |
| Posted by: jacktheknife Aug 12 2008, 04:32 AM |
| I mix the cookies and cream with 4 oz of water and ice. It tastes decent, actually seems to taste better if I let it sit and settle while I am working out. |

| I like strawberry the best of the ones I've had so far |
| Posted by: Will109090 Aug 12 2008, 11:40 AM |
| The French Vanilla is really good. |

| shit just get chocolate or vanilla, both taste great |
