Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey, Double Rich Chocolate, 5.15-Pound Tub

Childrens Toy Shop > Health & Personal Care > Nutrition Shakes
from: Optimum Nutrition

May 14, 2007
I have been using ON Whey for about 2 years now- and my opinion on this is remains the same throughout that time: its a great product at a good price.
I will rate this on what I think sums up a good protein powder (on a scale of 1 - 5, 5 being the highest and 1 the lowest):
Mixability - 4.5 - this product requires a decent amount of mixing, or it will get clumpy in your glass. Same with a shaker bottle.. but all in all it mixes in fine with about 20 seconds of stirring/ shaking.
Taste - 3.5 - definitely NOT my favorite part of this product, but I should mention that I have only tried 2 other protein powders, and one tasted worse. The chocolate is ok - it tastes like a chocolate milkshake with cardboard in it. Stay away from ... Read More:

BSN Syntha-6 Ultra-Premium Sustained Release Protein Powder, Chocolate Milkshake, 2.91-Pound Jar

Childrens Toy Shop > Health & Personal Care > Nutrition Shakes
from: BSN

July 05, 2006
I have tried many different brands of protein powders, and Syntha-6 is by far the best tasting. This is a great price with the free shipping. Keep in mind that you get less protein for your $$$ since it is expensive, but it is still well worth it.

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Natural Whey, Chocolate, 5.13-Pound Tub

Childrens Toy Shop > Health & Personal Care > Nutrition Shakes
from: Optimum Nutrition

May 14, 2007
Guess I'm trading off the taste to go with a natural sweetener, because this stuff is really boring tasting. Makes drinking protein a chore. Other brands like Met-Rx Size Up actually tasted good enough to make me want to drink it throughout the day.

Atkins Ready To Drink Shake, Vanilla, 11-Ounce Aseptic Containers (Pack of 12)

Childrens Toy Shop > Health & Personal Care > Nutrition Shakes
from: Atkins

April 14, 2008
I was a little nervous to try this out, as most shakes I've tried just taste watered down, "fake" or too grainy. My husband and I needed something to replace our sweet tooth after dinner (we've been on the Atkin's Diet for almost a month now) and this shake was great! It tastes great super cold and even better blended with ice. The size is perfect, not too big, and not too small - it was actually bigger than we expected, and for only 1 carb per shake, it's really worth it. We even let my 11 month old try a sip and she loved it! Sometimes I throw one of these along with a Daybreak Bar into my husband's lunch and he really appreciates it. It's definitely worth a try!

Cytosport Muscle Milk High Protein Shake, Chocolate Milk, 17-Ounce Cartons (Pack of 12)

I can't believe someone actually likes this stuff. They must have been drinking something different than me. I'm not going to question the quality of the product. But, the quality doesn't matter if you can't get past the taste. The first time I tried it, I actually thought that I had purchased a bad one or that it had expired on the shelf. Subsequent attempts at the product were all the same. There are other products out there that are of high quality that actually taste good. Those who remember the saccharine diet drinks of the early 80's and 70's will know what I'm talking about if I were to mention the bitter after taste this stuff has. So, unless you enjoy that kind of flavor, I would try something else.

Nutiva Organic Hemp Protein Powder, 16-Ounce Jars (Pack of 2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Health & Personal Care > Nutrition Shakes
from: Nutiva


I bought this brand because the normal brand I buy is out of stock on amazon. This brand is not as fine a powder and so it does not stir into liquid. As soon as you stop stirring or blending it all drops to the bottom. Then when you drink it, the last gulp is all 'sand' that gets stuck in your teeth. So, now you have to brush your teeth or walk around with black stuff stuck to them. There are other brands with as much fiber, more protein and mix right up in liquid.

I am sending my stuff back to amazon for a refund.

Optimum Nutrition 100% Any Whey Instantized Whey Protein, 2.7-Pound Tub

from: Optimum Nutrition

Everyone's pretty much already weighed in on the taste/texture of this product so I just wanted to add that unlike its competition, Any Whey contains 0% cholesterol. This is just one more reason why I'm a fan of Any Whey.

I have been using Nutiva Hemp Protein for about a year now in my hot cereal and smoothies. (I use stevia and Agave Syrup to sweeten, also avail on Amazon.) I like it, esp for the awesome nutritional profile! The flavor and texture may take some getting used to for some people, but well wrth it for the health benefit! And the best price I have found so far is right here on Amazon.
