Pros

This is a must have low carb protein to meet your daily protein macros. High bioavailability of the protein ensures that my body can efficiently absorb and utilize the nutrients, maximizing the benefits of my workouts. Perfect for post-workout recover... Read More

The quality and effectiveness of this product are unparalleled. Not terrible though. It never disappoints. Optimum nutrition provides the best quality whey i have ever used.

It blends well with fruit (blueberries), yogurt, etc. Assimilates with water or milk using a shaker. It dissolves effortlessly in both water and milk.

This protein powder is a game-changer that will support your fitness goals. What sets this protein powder apart is its versatility. I have a nut allergy, and i have heard that this brand does a good job with allergens.

Cons

The taste is borderline revolting with the introduction of the 'chemical' taste. It causes indigestion like crazy, and i typically don't have this issue. But the flavor is absolutely atrocious now. It tastes like actual chalk shavings now.

The product is great, but i did not receive what i ordered. I am worried that this is a fake item which was opened and resealed. Very dubious packaging.

Quality

Great quality, dissolves easily, wonderful texture and flavor!

I've tried several protein shakes before, but this one is on a whole different level—it tastes just like melted vanilla ice cre... Read More

It mix very well, however the artificial taste is very strong.

Price

Great value, and one of the best tasting protein powders on the market!

I really enjoy this product - not expensive, great taste, very well dissolves in the water/milk.

The supplement facts are on point with only 1g of sugar, but a lot of protein for the price.

Over the last few years the price has been creeping up, and a 5lb tub is now near enough $80 which i feel is crazy.

Packaging/appearance

The only minor downside is the packaging, which may vary, but the quality remains consistent.

Packaging was sealed with seal under the cap, although i was expecting another one on top of the cap.

Competitiveness

I have tried many different brands and this is by far the best tasting and most affordable option!

Plus, it has fewer ingredients and less sugar than the extreme milk chocolate flavor, which i’ve also tried.

I have tried a lot of other protein brands, and they have always tasted bad, does not mix will, or have tasted very chalky.
