Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein, Double Rich Chocolate, 16 Ounce

This product is WONDERFUL! I've tried soooo many whey proteins that have totally irritated my tummy beyond belief. It has been costly to try these various brands in order to find one that doesn't leave me buckled over in pain. I've been an avid Muscle Milk Light user because it was easy on the stomach and was good with recovery. I recently read some of the reviews on it and it contains metals along with extra fat & other ingredients that I don't want in my body. I work out 5 - 6 times a week. A lot of strength training, deadlifting, bench pressing, etc. So, I need a protein that will be good for my body, speed the recovery process and is easy on my system. When I received the product I made a smoothie out of it. I was amazed to see how easily it blended in with my soy milk and fruit. ZERO lumps which I loved. A lot of these products leave chunks and clumps in your cup. Not this one! With hesitation, I drank it and it was DELISH! I waited to see if it was going to jam me up. Low and behold it didn't. No rolling tummy or frequent potty breaks. If my gains and recovery are up to par. I will be a customer for life!!

Mrs. Boyer here. Ordered this product as a supplement during my first pregnancy and have used it as a primary source of protein since meat became completely revulsive--and a girl can only eat so many eggs. Some protein powders are sickly sweet, others are chalky, others don't mix well in water, and some cause all kinds of stomach issues. This product has none of that. Mixes easily in water and goes down smoothly. Subtle taste with no icky fake sweet taste. Helps me get the protein I need to stay healthy & keeps me full for hours. I use it to make a shake, mixed in with oatmeal in the morning, mixed with yogurt for a snack, and have even used it when baking to help amp up the nutrition of my baked goods. Totally satisfied. Have shared this product with my trainer at the gym, who gave rave reviews, and ended up providing samples to several other of the staff there. They are talking about switching out the protein supplement currently sold at my gym with this product, that's how much they love it! And my husband is totally on board too--he now keeps a jug at the office. Love, love, love this product. Have tried in vanilla ice cream & double chocolate. Both flavors are delicious. Highly recommend!

I started taking whey protein because I began working out in April 2013 (have lost 24 lbs to date) and wanted to start building muscle. In my experience, the mix doesn't blend quite as well as I had hoped. I get chunks stuck to the side of my blender and end up having to scrape it off with a knife or spoon. If you are going to mix it by hand, do it in half scoops because you'll get lumps on the bottom. I have noticed that it helps control my hunger and suppresses my appetite. The taste is OK. I read the reviews and ordered this flavor because it was supposed to be the "better tasting" of the bunch. I am not a big fan of the taste. It smells AMAZING, though. I have learned how to mask the flavor. I take two large bananas, 1/4 cup ice, 1.5 cups of 2% milk and a scoop of whey and blend it all together. It tastes really good that way, and you can barely taste the product. I had to switch to 2% because the skim wasn't masking the whey flavor. It does get easier to drink the longer you start drinking it. I will probably order it again. If anyone else has any delicious ways to mix this up, let me know.

I really like this protein powder above all other's I've tried (and I've tested a lot!) It doesn't have that chalky taste like most other protein powders do, it mixes well with water or milk and it isn't too costly. I actually mix 1 scoop of ON 100% Whey Protein with a cup of milk and add my favorite cereal for a protein packing breakfast. I ordered a 1 pound container which arrived on time. The plastic container did contain a pound of powder but due to the settling during shipping, the container was only 3/4 full. This is normal. I found the plastic scoop at the very bottom of the container. Don't expect consuming this (or any protein powder) will create huge muscles like when Popeye eats his spinach! LOL (You got to earn/work for those) But, this is a good way to increase your protein intake without substantiality increasing your caloric intake. It's a great meal replacement/supplement. Vanilla Ice Cream is by far the best tasting! (IMHO)

This is a solid and quality whey protein powder. What it isn't, is appetizing. You may think it's not a big deal and you can choke anything down in the name of health, but it really does make a difference when you're drinking this stuff on a daily basis. Luckily, there are other flavors aside from this chalky chocolate. Vanilla, for instance, in this exact same product line from the same company, is actually quite delicious. I would strongly suggest Vanilla, my friends.

I have ordered this protein many times and its great, I cant lie and say I see the benefits and that it works better then other proteins, but I use it every morning . The Vanilla Ice Cream flavor taste pretty good, cant go wrong, easily mixes in blender by itself r with other flavors. My morning breakfast consist of 1 scoop protein, 1 scoop of glutamine, 1 scoop of AAKG, 1 scoop of Citrulline Malate, half a apple, 4 stalks of kale and either strawberries or pineapples...place in a Magic bullet blender for 20 seconds and then gulp down. Taste great and more nutritious then a ham biscuit. Other benefit to this protein is that it gives no gas like some other proteins do...if you have this with other proteins , give this one a try.

I've been using the Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein in the Double Chocolate flavor, which also tastes very good. Since I had a good experience with that one and since I'm more of a vanilla fan, I thought I'd give this flavor a shot (in the past I always opt for chocolate protein powders since they're usually the least foul tasting). The Vanilla Ice Cream flavor is pretty darn good, and I think mixes better with other flavors such as frozen berries. These powders have a high protein content, are low fat, and almost sugar free, making for a healthy snack or meal replacement. I'm surprisingly pleased with this product and will continue to purchase it.

I use this protein powder in my morning shake on gym days. I'm a mom who works out like 2-3 days a week, not a bodybuilder or anything. I was just looking to increase my protein, and also for something I could drink in the mornings before going to the gym so I wouldn't get dizzy. That said, I could not stand it in a shaker. It stayed chunky and I just couldn't get over that. But I love it how I make it now. I use a Magic Bullet and put in: 1/2 banana 1 scoop fill with 1% milk So quick and easy and yummy. Gives me just enough energy for a good workout.
