My favorite protein powder,
I’ve been using protein supplements for over ten years. There are a variety of factors that determine the price of protein powders, the two most important of which are quality of the protein and taste. For the most part, you get what you pay for. Cheap protein isn’t very high quality and often tastes like chalk. Really expensive protein is high quality and tastes good, but you’re often paying for advertising. Optimum Nutrition is a solid quality product – not the most pure, but very good (and I’m not convinced there is a big difference between moderate range and elite range proteins). So, the quality is very good, but on top of that, the Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey line is one of my favorite tasting protein powders I have ever used. I have tried most of the flavors, and they are all above average; Most I would rate 4 to 5 stars (you can buy a package with a single serving of about 15 different flavors – I got mine from Bodybuilding.com). For the price, this is by far my favorite protein company. I go through one five-pound jug every two months. I recommend it to all of my friends. My favorite flavor is Extreme Milk Chocolate (5/5 stars). It is fantastic with just milk, and I like to make shakes with it in the blender using ice, milk, bananas and peanut butter. It has been one of the best selling supplements on Bodybuilding.com for years for a reason. Try it, and you won’t be disappointed.

Tastes good, and great if you are trying to lose weight!,
I bought the extreme chocolate, and when you open it–smells like Nestle Quick. It doesn’t taste amazing–tastes like choclate milk, just a little chalky so it’s not bad at all (better than most other brands for sure) I recommend it because I am trying to lose weight (and succeeding). I’ve lost 20 lbs this month, but that’s incorporating eating healthier (higher protein diet) and excersize. I drink one shake in the morning (I just mix it with 8 oz of skim milk), and one after weight training. It works for weight loss because it does not contain all of the fat, calories, and carbohydrates that other protein powders contain, e.g., Muscle Milk. Don’t get me wrong Muscle Milk is good for those trying to bulk up, and pack on the muscle. This protein powder simply gives me the protein that I need to build/maintain muscle compostion which subsequently burns my body fat. On the flip side, if you are doing a lot of cardio rather than weight training you could probably use a protein powder with more calories. If you don’t eat enough calories, and you have a strenuous cardio routine your body will resort to burning muscle for energy rather than fat. This is because your body will go into “conservation mode” and store fat for survival while burning muscle for energy.
*Basically, if you are eating healthy, have a weight training routine, and want to lose weight: BUY THIS POWDER.
