4 out of 5 stars Good stuff.   July 5, 2008
M. Gasch (Sacramento, CA)
This product isn't as bland as some reviews make it out to be. I mix it with 8-12 oz of non-fat milk and it dissolves in a shaker perfetly and has a smooth rich taste. Has worked great for me before and after workouts.


5 out of 5 stars The best   July 5, 2008
M. Mason (Tennessee)
I started using this because I read an article in a magazine that stated that if you wanted a good head of hair, you had to injest 48 grams of protein a day. My hair had thinned out a lot (I am female). After I started using this product, my hair started growing back in. I have tried other brands of whey protein, but I have seen the best results from this product. My hair continues to grow back in.

I would agree with other posts that this doesn't taste good, I also agree with other posts that this tastes good. Here is the thing, it is by far the best tasting protein powder I have ever tasted, but compared to a real milk shake it sucks, but what do you expect?? I would describe the taste as a cold/watered down instant cocoa mix. Not something I crave, but nothing like the other think chocky mixes on the market.


5 out of 5 stars Best protein powder ever!!!!   July 2, 2008

I've been lifting weights for 19 years now and have tried almost every protein powder out there, and ON's 100% Whey Protein is the best, hands down! I've been a customer for 10 years now. Best in taste, best in protein content, and best in mixing! I don't think it's the cheapest protein powder out there, but I know it's not the most expensive either. Still a great deal for what you get! Buy it, you won't regret it.


5 out of 5 stars Best protein supplement ever used   June 25, 2008
Rafe (Virginia Tech, VA - USA)
First off ON gold standard protein is the best on the market. Hands down. You won't find another brand out there offering its protein packed with BCAAs and almost 5g of glutamine. Sure it costs a bit more, but when you consider quality, the cost/benefit ratio of ON gold standard FAR outweighs competitors. Plus they're low cal, low sugar, low fat. Just amazing.

Taste: I've tried vanilla, banana cream, and rocky road.

1. Banana SUCKS! (Granted this was ON casein protein, but still) Stay away from it at all costs.

2. Vanilla - acceptable, tastes fine with water or milk. Good base for making smoothies

3. Rocky road - the BEST standalone whey protein I've ever tasted. Just add water or milk and it tastes amazing.


Final word of advice: pick up a tub of whey and another of casein. Take the casein prior to bed for a slow burn that will keep the body anabolic throughout the night. Take the whey just about any other time you need to supplement. It metabolizes extremely fast and gets to the muscles quick.

Don't mess with the other BS protein schemes. Just stick with casein and whey. best of both worlds and you can even mix them for an immediate recovery shake with sustained energy.
