Delicious Protein Packed Powder

I wanted to add plant-based protein to my diet, and I love this powder. I subscribe through amazon to save a little bit of money. I am happy with the taste (a delicious vanilla) and the texture (no grittiness). It blends easily with just shaking. If you're looking to an alternative to the expense (and sugar and calories) of your morning Starbucks, here's my recipe for a healthy protein packed alternative Vanilla Latte. Every morning I add two scoops of [[ASIN:B016K2P91Q Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy, Iced Mocha Cappucino] to one scoop of of the Vanilla plant protein. Add 16oz of water (or if you want something thicker, nut milk or regular milk): delicious, refreshing, energizing, and MUCH better for your wallet and waist than a Starbucks.

Milk chocolate powder mixed with chocolate almond milk... effective and oh-so-tasty.

Picked this up in the extreme milk chocolate flavor. I use this as a recovery drink after weight training, and it works great. Really helps me recover and keep my energy up between my workout and my next meal. I use 1 scoop of powder with about 10oz of unsweetened chocolate almond milk and it tastes just like a really good cup of hot cocoa or chocolate frozen yogurt. Not only is it really tasty compared to other flavors of powder I've used, but it's really tasty period. It's the first protein shake I've actually looked forward to having, and it helps satisfy my chocolate cravings for a while. Blends in smoothly and easily with my blender bottle, with no grit like I've had with some other brands. I haven't had any stomach issues or gas issues using this powder, and I have a pretty weak stomach, but I think this seems to be a pretty individual thing, some people will react to whey protein more than others.

Love

Whoa just opened the box and made my first shake and i am in chocolate bliss. If u need chocolate in your life this will satisfy that craving. I mixed mine with black coffee, no milk needed. Blended in nutribullet and it came out creamy and frothy. Im in love with this product right now. I got chocolate malt but am excited to try the other flavors too. Thanks! PRO TIP: save the scoop from your last protein so u dont have to dig it out of the new one. I wish they would just package it on ouside of bucket. But this will prevent you from hulking out over not finding the scoop upon opening.

Optimum nutrition rocks!

I LOVE optimum nutrition protein. The quality is always great, mixability is good and smooth, and the flavors are really tasty. My favorite is chocolate malt, and I have had the French vanilla, extreme milk chocolate and the mocha coffee protein. All really tasty! I like the focus in whey isolate with this product, this is my go to brand.

Delicious!

Love it! This flavor is very good! I recently started eating healthier and I'm now drinking protein shakes so I decided to give this one a try and it is awesome! It does give you a weird aftertaste in my opinion, but it is definitely a good flavor overall. I also bought the strawberry one at the GNC store since I had a coupon, and it was AMAZING!!!!! Legit tastes like the strawberry Nesquik milk! I'm not kidding! I normally use unsweetened almond milk to make these with. Can't wait to explore more flavors!

Happy to see ON include a plant based option.

I have tried a lot of plant based protein powders in my days as a devoted vegan. Much to my surprise, this Optimum Nutrition plant based protein actually had a pretty good taste to it. Love this stuff!

Tastes great

This is probably the best tasting protein powder I’ve ever tried. It blended great with just cold water in a blender bottle with the wire whisk ball. There was barely any detectable unwanted aftertaste. That alone makes this easier to sip and enjoy versus chugging it to avoid nasty chalky yucky aftertastes with other protein powders I’ve tried. Finally, a sip-able protein. Another great plus is the caffeine. This is definitely going to be my take along breakfast for work. Thanks for a great product.

Tastes really good! Mixes well.

Tastes really good! I was surprised, especially since I don't usually like the taste or texture of whey powder. I put this in the Silver Bullet with ice cream and milk for milkshakes (for the kids), or with just soy milk for myself. My kids are picky, and they really like it. It mixes in easily in both cases - no clumping or dry powder residue to deal with. Now I have higher protein content and much less sugar in my daily shake, compared to the Carnation Instant Breakfast I'd been drinking for many years. And no, I wasn't compensated in any way for this review. This is a good product and I'll definitely order more.

5/5 I HATE when I get lumps in my protein

There's a few things that I look for when I'm looking at purchasing a new protein. 1. Cost per gram of protein: 5/5 this product is one of the most cost effective protein supplements on the market, inexpensive to fit into your daily regimen . 2. Mixability: 5/5 I HATE when I get lumps in my protein, it's terrible tasting and makes me gag. When I was using this protein I noticed no lumps, even after putting it down for a few minutes. 3.Taste: 5/5 The chocolate flavor is the best out of any protein powders that I've ever tried. Still leaves a little to be desired, but it's really good. Beats all of the competitors in this category.

Tastes great

I’m not a body builder by any means. I work out about three times a week and I use the protein powder for a post work out shake or for a quick breakfast. I’m not on strict diets or anything like that, so my review is from a regular joe who works our mostly to stay in decent shape and stay alive. The protein powder as a shake is pretty delicious. No weird aftertaste like many other powders, and it’s really filling. I’m sure most “pros” know all the tips but for those of you that don’t, it helps if you mix the powder with whatever liquid you prefer, I use soy milk, before adding ice. If you put everything in at the same time the powder gets clumpy. I don’t know why, but that’s been my experience. I use a blender not a shaker. Again, the chocolate malt is what I like and it tastes great.
