 Strawberry Flavor Contains Splenda September 2, 2010
Karl Core (Baltimore, MD)
Someone else already put down a good review discussing the use of sucralose (Splenda). I'm wishing I had seen that before I placed my order. My body has a bad reaction to artificial sweeteners and had I known it had sucralose in it, I would not have purchased it.
 Best Protein Product on Market September 1, 2010
Juan Poveda
I've been using this product for more than one year and it's done great things. The quality of the protein is really good and the taste is great. If you want it to work for you, just make sure to know how many grams of protein you need each day, substract those you get from meals, and have the rest with whey protein. I take 5 servings a day and I don't gain any fat, just pure muscle.

I'm definitely not a professional body builder by any means. Until recently, I was a college undergrad, and now I'm working full-time. In general, my workouts usually consist of weight lifting at home, with a set of adjustable free weights, and occasional trips to the gym for exercises not easily done at home. More recently, I've been doing P90X, and am finishing up the third phase now.
This whey protein works wonders. In general, if you're only going to supplement your workouts with one thing, it would almost definitely be whey protein. It speeds up recovery, gives more energy, and really enables muscle growth. As far as whey goes, I've tried a few other brands, and ON Gold Standard is the winner when it comes to the balance of amount of protein, ease of use, price, and taste. I've tried three flavors thus far. Vanilla is okay, when mixed with milk it tastes mostly like runny, melted vanilla ice cream. Not disgusting, but not exactly my cup of tea. I went through a couple jars of the Double Rich Chocolate, based off the recommendations of many reviews, and ended up sticking with it for a while. I've never been a fan of chocolate milk, so the Double Rich Chocolate isn't amazing to me, but it still tastes good and is easy to get down.
I recently tried a tub of the Cookies n' Cream flavor, and I'm not going to be sticking with it. It's nice, as a change of pace from the months of chocolate I had, but mixed with milk it was waaaay too rich for me. I usually mix it with water, which makes it taste sort of like a Jack in the Box Oreo cookie shake. It tastes kinda weird if it's warm, though, so I usually either pre-mix it and stick it in the fridge for a long time, or throw in a couple ice cubes when I mix it, to cool it down. Some reviewers have commented on a bitter aftertaste (for Cookes n' Cream only, not the other flavors), some say they have never encountered it. I seem to be stuck in the middle. Every once in a while, one of the gulps will hit me with a slightly bitter aftertaste. It's not often enough to make me hate drinking it, but it's worth a mention. It seems to happen less often if I pre-mix the shake and leave it in the fridge for a while, so temperature may have something to do with it.
One last thing I want to mention, if you're just someone who works out a bit in their free time to stay in shape, there's one other supplement worth taking a look at: creatine. It's cheap, not harmful, and can work wonders for you! This review's already pretty long, so I won't talk about it, but there's plenty of info out on the web, so take a look!
Great for the price August 31, 2010

We can go into discussion about so many things about protein.
But honestly this protein is the best bang for the buck.
I use it right when i wake up with 2 tbsp's of sugar to prevent morning catabolism and one scoop with a cassein blend for post workout.
It's a good protein for the price.
Great whey product August 31, 2010
David Shefchik
I'm not expert on supplements or anything, but I can say that this is a great product. It mixes very well with most things and the double chocolate flavor is tasty. The thing that really wowed me though, was that even though this product is low-carb, I cannot taste ANY trace of artificial sweetener. My taste buds have always been hyper-sensitive to the presence of sucralose and aspartame, however the typical bitter after-taste is non-existent in the ON Whey Protein Powder, yet it still manages to be sweet, tasting like a nice, light chocolate milk. I'm impressed.
