ON whey protein flavors

[MightyPitbull]

For those of you have tried ON whey protein, I'd like to know what you guys think about their flavors and products.

I know people have different taste buds so I'd like to hear from you guys that have similar taste to mine. I absolutely love chocolate Nitrean w/ milk, never get tired of drinking it. Vanilla is okay, I don't like it that much but it was alright. I know some people love strawberry but I had hard time trying to swallow it without feeling sick/throwing up.

So, what do you guys think?

ON chocolate is awesome, strawberry isn't bas as well.

[MightyPitbull]

I'll probably end up buying a few 10lb bags. I don't know if there are more flavors out there for 10lb but it seems like there are only a few flavors available to choose from: Delicious Strawberry, Double Rich Chocolate, Rocky Road, and Vanilla Ice Cream.

The double rich chocolate and vanilla icecream are definately ones you should get. I'm not sure about the strawberry, haven't tried it.

[leveque]

Banana Creme is awesome, vanilla ice cream flavor mixed with orange is gatorade is also awesome.

If you're more of a chocolate fan...rocky road is good too.

[kevowamo]

ON strawberry is so good its almost refreshing after the gym

[lonesXedge]

when going with ON, rocky road is the only way.

Only tried vanilla ice cream and mint chocolate. Vanilla was pretty good ( vanilla nitrean is a lil better ) the chocolate mint was ok, I got sick of it really fast though.

[MightyPitbull]

I'm definately planning on getting rocky road, and maybe double chocolate. I don't about vanilla since I didn't find vanilla nitrean that appealing compared to chocolate nitrean. I'm kind of hesistant to try fruit flavors like strawberry and banana b/c they usually taste very artificial unlike nesquik.

kevowamo - have you ever tried strawberry nitrean? If you have and you liked how it tastes, then I guess I won't be getting ON strawberry :evillaugh:

ON Strawberry tastes a lot better than Strawberry Nitrean. I actually have them both right now...and there's a pretty good difference. ON has a lot more strawberry flavor to it.

Rocky road was way too sweet for me. I prefer the double chocolate.

I'd say stick with Nitrean, though.

I wish I could, but my budget is kind of tight right now.

I'm not sure if there are free samples available. Taste is such a subjective thing. Rocky road and double rich chocolate look like safe choices. I got sick of vanilla pretty fast and was dying to get rid of strawberry nitrean after tasting it.

You could try the variety pack:

they have all kinds of weird flavors in there.

[MightyPitbull]

That looks pretty interesting but damn, $17 for 16 servings.

Yeah, ive had them both. ON is better...a lot better.

In the past I have tried ON Rocky Road and Chocolate Mint, both had good flavoring especially with milk.

Recently asked a friend of mine who owns a nutrition store about his opinion on them though and he gave me some interesting information:

"Optimum protein is junk. They are the largest purchaser of Irradiated Protein on the market. Basically, this is protein that has expired, then is treated with ionizing radiation to destroy bacteria, and then is repackaged and sold." - Ryan Bracewell

After hearing that I decided to stay away from their products...

I find that hard to believe. How does he know this, and does he have a proof that can back it up? Just curious..

[jAy_Dub]

I've heard a lot of rumors about some of the top supplement companies, and it really doesnt surprise me one bit.

If the FDA isnt involved, of course the companies are going to be doing some very shady things behind the scenes.

[MightyPitbull]

Yea I guess, but it just surprises in a way considering ON whey is probably the most popular brand, and no one really seems to care.

[RedSpikeyThing]

I'll vouch for ON's double chocolate being delicious. I'm not usually a fan of fake chocolate flavours, but ON's is a win.

Yea I've looked at bb.com (since there are thousands of threads for every imaginable topic) and it seems like rocky road and chocolate are pretty safe choices to go with. I guess for strawberry and banana, it's either you love it, or you hate it completely.

[MNRob]

Another vote for ON Rocky Road flavour.

whatever you do don't get the cinnamon twist or whatever it is, it tastes terrible. Chocolate was awesome -- i only got the cinammon cause thats all they had at bb.com for the Nitrocore 24
