Best protein powder July 27, 2007
SC (Cambridge, MA)
15 out of 16 found this review helpful
I'm a woman and not a body builder, but I love this protein powder for a super quick breakfast or an evening snack. It gives you clean burning energy, so to speak, without the blood sugar crash of candy bars or other less than optimal snack products. It dissolves well with some vigorous shaking in any sealed container--I just use an ordinary bowl-shaped tupperware container.
It contains no fructose, and is barely sweetened with stevia extract. That's fine because I can add my own sources of sweetness in the form of organic soy milk that I buy in bulk from Costco. I had my family try it and they couldn't tell this apart from ordinary ovaltine or chocolate soy milk. Even if you're using water or milk, unless you're hyper vigilant about sugar intake, adding a bit of your own sweetener (I hate artificial sweeteners, I'd rather add raw, real sugar) would still bring your sugar intake far below most of those other "protein shake" products out in the market while still delivering a dose of high quality protein (whey is superior to all other sources of popularly available protein powders according to the sources I've researched).

Strawberry Banana

2.
Rocky Road

Taste 2
After taste none
Comment: Made it with 8oz of Water, very sweet taste, sat in
my stomach for 30 minutes like a pile of sand.
3.
Mint Chocolate
With vitamin D Milk
Taste 7
After Taste a little "diety", but not much
Comments: Good flavor, kinda like a girl scout thin mint.
4.
Milk Chocolate
With vitamin D Milk
Taste 7
After Taste Slight "Diety" after taste
Comment: Tastes like a 'YooHoo' chocolate Drink made with Sweet n' Low.
5.
Double Rich Chocolate
With vitamin D Milk
Taste 9
After Taste None
Comment: Great Flavor and could easily be taken after a work out. Does not have
an overpowering candy flavor like some of the other flavors. For a
Chocolate lover this would be great in bulk.
6.
Caramel Toffee Fudge
With vitamin D Milk
Taste 2
After Taste Like you just downed a pound of sugar
Comment: Take this after a work out if you want to vomit. This flavor is Very
Overpowering with Candy/sugar flavors. Ghastly to say the least
7.
Choco Mocha Capacino
Made with Water
Taste 6
After taste Like a coffee, obviously
Comment: I don't mind this flavor, but buying this in bulk is putting your self
in a position to obtain a gag reflex from any thing coffee related.
8.
Chocolate Malt
With vitamin D Milk
Taste 5
After Taste A weird stomach Coating feel
Comment: Ya, it felt like my stomach was being coated in chocolate milk.
Not a good feeling, No way could I drink this on a daily basis.
9.
Cookies and Cream
With vitamin D Milk
Taste 4
After Taste A weird taste
Comment: I don't know how to explain this, it has little crumbs of cookies that have
nothing to do with the taste, this doesn't taste at all like cookies or cream.
10.
Root Beer Float
With vitamin D Milk
Taste 8
After Taste None
Comment: Not too shabby, a strong taste of ice cream with a wet kiss of root beer.
I don't know how I would feel after a work out drinking this, but it is
pleasant.
11.
Tropical Punch
With vitamin D Milk
Taste 7
After Taste Sits in stomach
Comment: Creamy fruit punch taste. The product sits in your stomach however and
and the feeling doesn't pass for a good 20 minutes.
12.
Banana Cream
With vitamin D Milk
Taste 6
After Taste None
Comment: Wonderful flavor however it doesn't measure up to some of the others.
The other fruit flavors were great and this one seem to more like a
Banana laxative.
13.
Vanilla Cream
With vitamin D Milk
Taste 7
After Taste None
Comment: Taste was very much like the Vanilla ice cream. The flavor was good however I
do not think it was worthy of a 5 pound bucket. You would most likely
get tired of this flavor very quickly, and it is very sweet.
14.
Vanilla Ice Cream
With vitamin D Milk
Taste 4
After Taste None
Comment: Taste was alright, seemed to resemble powdered milk mix with extra sugar added
I was not a fan of this one by no means, if you really like Vanilla I would
suggest buying a 2 pound bucket and try that first.
15.
Strawberry
With vitamin D Milk
Taste 8
After Taste None
Comment: My default, one thing to note though is that the "ON" label makes the sample
far different than the bucket servings. The sampler was rather good, the bucket
I would give one less point. This is my default though and I have yet to get tired
of it. I honestly love the Banana Strawberry much more though... BY FAR!
16.
Orange Cream
With vitamin D Milk
Taste 7
After Taste None
Comment: I only give this an 8 because I love the fruit flavors and I love oranges.
This flavor however was VERY disappointing. This tastes exactly like the
wonderful Orange cream pops you used to eat when you were little. After a
work out I don't see how anyone could down a sweet ice cream flavored orange
sugar pop. ...Ya, so I didn't care for this too much, if you like the sweet
stuff, and you love oranges, this could be just for you.
does not taste good July 14, 2007

After spending hours comparing nutritional information labels on a dozen diffrent brands of powders, I decided on this one for obvious reasons. It replaces alot of ingredients with natural ones, and costs only about 46 cents per serving, yet has an impressive 24 grams of protein per serving. That's really the bottom line why you should choose this product.
I got the chocolate. Threw it in a glass of water, and was VERY surprised that after stirring for about 30 seconds with just a spoon, it had almost completely disolved. You dont even need a shaker for this. As far as the taste well, theres no sweetener, and almost no sugar or fat. So of course it doesnt taste like a freakin milkshake. It's really good for you. Im sure in milk (which adds fat and sugar) it will taste great but i wont be doing that personally.
I wrote this review half a year ago, and the price has gone way up since then. It is still a great product, but not the huge value it was back when i got it $10 cheaper.
Great taste (chocolate) - Use as coffee creamer July 5, 2007

I've been using ON 100% Natural Whey for almost a year now, and it's fantastic. Whether used as coffee creamer, mixed in a glass of water, or used in my frozen churner to make ice cream, the chocolate flavor is the best!
Don't let the new packaging fool ya, it's the same ON 100% Natural Whey protein.
