Comments about Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein Gold, 2 Lbs.:
Been taking supplements for 12 years. I have never once ENJOYED taking protein. What I do enjoy are when my supplements are effective AND affordable. This product is exactly that. Mixes easy, works, and is affordable enough to take 6 scoops a day.

After hearing about the heavy metals in Muscle Milk I started looking for a replacement. A friend recommended the Whey Protein and gave me some to try. It met all the requirements for me, taste great (better than MM which was my favorite up til now), mixes very easily (I use water and it doesn't clump like MM) and doesn't bother my stomach. Pretty decent cost too. Overall very pleased with the product. Highly recommend.

Comments about Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein Gold, 2 Lbs.:
A bodybuilding friend of mine recommended ON's GS Whey to me a couple of years ago when I was wanting to get back on the workout band wagon. I tried a couple flavors and used it as a meal replacement back then (because my lazy butt didn't get back on the wagon at that time). Now I'm back on the wagon and using it again as both a meal replacement (I don't eat a lot of meat, no reason, just don't) and as a post-workout meal. My friend was definitely right when he advised that if I'm not working out every day that I drink the shake it will add some poundage to the scale instead of taking off (gained about three pounds in two weeks even though I was restricting my diet and counting calories), so I've adjusted the amount of whey I use in my shakes and how many I drink based on what my activity level is that day. I do notice though, that the days when I do cardio and weights and have the shake as a post-workout meal that I don't feel nearly as sore the next day as I do when I don't drink it.
I can't get enough of the Extreme Chocolate flavor; it's freakin' delicious! Doesn't taste like a protein powder shake to me at all. When I use it as a meal replacement for breakfast I mix one scoop with my morning coffee (espresso dark roast) and about 5 oz of 1% milk; so much cheaper than going to Starbucks every morning like the masses AND the added protein to my diet. Seriously, I <3 this stuff!

I got the double rich chocolate and it doesn't taste bad at all. I mix 1 scoop with about 1.25 cups of skim milk and a couple ice cubes and its great.

This product tastes great and it has shortened my recovery time quite a bit. I take it right after i work out and then casein before bed. I am not even sore the next day.
