Fruity Cereal - Not Good At All
The fruity cereal flavor is really really bad. It tastes like a flat lemon lime soda. I even put sugar with this and it still didn't make it taste good or sweet at all. I would avoid this one

GREAT TASTE & easy to mix
This has been my go-to powder for years. I love the versatile use of the Vanilla Whey. It mixes easily into my yogurt or cottage cheese for an extra protein kick but also makes a great protein drink in the blender. I have used the vanilla when I traveled and added it to water in a pinch. reminded me of powder milk we used to have as a kid. I recommend to all my clients

Chemicals in a container
People should take the time to look at the ingredient list for this product that claims to be "100% whey". Assortment of atleast 20 different chemicals and artificial sweeteners. The only thing you can expect from this is cancer a few years down the line.

Saved me from starvation!
My husband purchased this product for me because I was suffering with malnutrition due to medical issues. This product saved my life, I couldn’t eat I would get so sick but this product stayed down and I started to recover. I still use it everyday and love the vanilla ice cream as well as the chocolate

Perfect Strawberry
This is a very good strawberry flavor. It’s not too sweet for me, but still has a very prevalent strawberry taste. As usual with ON products, it’s very thin and doesn’t have too much taste with water, but it’s still easy to get down. With just a little bit of added fat with almond milk, it’s perfect.

Like the flavor.
The flavor (strawberry cream) is much much better than the extreme chocolate.

This tastes like strawberry milk and the flavor doesn't get old. Mixes well with water, no noticeable chunks of powder left behind

It's the Best for a Reason
I got back into lifting after years of being off, and the need for protein powder was overwhelming...the cheap stuff made me break out, and the cost of others was prohibitive. I decided to try ON Chocolate, and I found a winner. It mixes easily with water or milk, and I love the flavor both ways. With a blender bottle it has no clumps. I also make a shake in the morning with banana, peanut butter, olive oil, powdered oats, and a scoop of the milk chocolate, and its perfect for bulking in the morning if you don't like breakfast.

Great way to get your protein!
The Double Rich Chocolate is amazing. Taste and texture are perfect. I was expecting to have to choke it down to get my daily protein, but this stuff is amazing. It's a great support to my training, and as a 72-year-old woman I need that support.

Truly inspiring! We're happy Double Rich Chocolate is your protein of choice. Keep up the grind!
