| I'm going to make an educated guess and say that this protein is probably one of the most popular whey proteins being sold today - and with good reason. It's a simple formula of concentrate/isolate protein. It tastes good. It mixes easily (trust me, others don't). It's reasonably priced. I've seen everyone from bodybuilders to boxers supplementing with this brand. The truth is that pure whey is relatively easy to cull from milk, and it is relatively easy to maintain good quality, so the production costs are not very high. By its very nature it is not an incredibly difficult or technical process. This makes you wonder why a thousand other brands are marketing their whey as "pharmaceutical grade" and charging twice as much. 100% NATURAL Whey Protein is a good value. |

| I've been using this product for a decade. While other products often clump up or overly thicken unless a blender is employed, Optimum Nutrition's proteins dissolve even under the mere persuasion of a spoon in a glass. Vanilla tastes great with OJ or milk, chocolate works great with water or milk (and I sometimes add fortified peanut butter too for a taste treat) Great product and the best value for your dollar, too. A one-two punch that can't be beat. |

| I drink this everyday with soy milk and a few pieces of frozen fruit, holds my hunger away for about 3 hours. No after taste and the flavor is good, like it better than the vanilla. I do not like chocolate so wouldn't even try that. |

| I've been using this natural protein since I don't like the taste of nutrasweet and don't want to take the other artificial sweeteners. It has a good taste, mixes easily w/o a blender (just use a Netrition shaker bottle) and can be flavored easily with unsweetened kool-aid powder. |

| I've researched all the protein powders and have tried many, including Designer Whey, which is my second favorite. But this one does not use any artificial sweeteners, so I like it. It also tastes really good without that fake sugar taste. |

| I love this stuff! It's one of the very few protein powders that doesn't taste synthetic, to the extent that mixing it with water in a glass is delicious -- and my favorite way to take it! I can't tell you how many protein drinks I've had that need to be blended with 4 bananas, 3 cups of milk and a stick of butter to make them taste reasonable... if you're tired of all that, this is the way to go. |

| This is an excellent product both in taste, ease in mixing, and physical benefits. My wife has been using this specific product for at least 3 years on a regular and consistent basis. All of the Optimum Nutrition protein products and supplements I have tried and continue to use have been nothing but outstanding quality. We recommend these protein products to many of our friends, even the ones that do not workout with weights, like we do. It is an excellent product for a meal replacement, especially at breakfast and night time before bed. We prefer the Natural products because they are less sweet and contain natural sweeteners. Also, the price is very reasonable for the product and its quality. |

| I like this shake. I don't get the bloated feeling I have had in others, and it has a good taste. I have one each morning right after working out and I have been able to add lots of lean muscle mass. A good product indeed. |

| I've been using 100% NATURAL as a post workout meal for the past few years. I can't promise great results, but it tastes really good and it also contains glutamine... Bonus! |

March 25, 2007 Reviewer: James in Maryland |
| This is great. I would recommend the chocolate the most. I mix one scoop with about 8 ounces of milk and I drink it every night after I workout. It tastes great. However, make sure you stir it up very well. If you don't, it is like drinking chocolate milk with bits of rubber in it. But it tastes great if you stir it up well. |

January 12, 2007 Reviewer: Craig in Tennessee |
| I like the double rich chocolate and chocolate mint. The vanilla is pretty good too. I mix 3 scoops of each with 1 pint of water. The cookies and cream is very bad-tasting. I can't describe the taste, but I sure wouldn't describe it in confectionary terms. I bought the 5lb tub, but threw the whole thing out after 2 sips it was so bad. I like the others quite well though. |

| This is a good tasting protein. I have had the chocolate, chocolate mint, strawberry and cookies and cream. I would say the chocolate mint is my personal favorite, and the cookies and cream is my least favorite, it's kind of repulsive actually. The cookies and cream has a real strong chemical smell/taste. This is also a very economical product. |

October 17, 2006 Reviewer: Daniel in Kansas |
| This stuff is great (i have double rich chocolate). But if you mix it in water it tastes like crap. I put it in hot chocolate made of milk. I do 1/3 milk 1/3 protein powder 1/3 chocolate milk powder and it tastes good. Drink plenty of water throughout the day or u'll get a kidney stone. |

| This is the best Whey I have tried, but go for the Chocolate. The Vanilla tastes terrible. I mix mine with dextrose for a great tasting post workout shake. |
