What are the best flavors to try of Optimum Nutrition whey protein powder?

I had the Rocky Road because someone said it was one of the best tasting ones, but I have to disagree. I haven't tried any others so I'm not sure if they all have the same artificial taste. It's like the artificial sweeteners taste that I can't stand. I'm not a fan at all!!

The flavors I have tried seem to be true to their names. I personally love the double rich chocolate.

Well I take this whey specifically because of its lack of flavor. Its not completely flavourless; its milky. If you dissolved 1 oz in 8oz of water it will taste like watery milk. It has no sweet or sour ir bitter or savory flavor, its simply milky. Also I'd like to mention it doesnt dissolve easily with a spoon, a blender works better. I always end up drinking undisolved bits but I don't mind it becaise i know its a low processed whey. But take that into account. Other than that I think this whey is excellent for weight loss, I take it after weight training with water and it helps me reach my protein goals.

I really do not know. I actually lost more weight with whey protein than any other method. Get creative w/flavors using vanilla powder. Works great! (I lost 80 pounds in 5 months w/whey)

The consistency is comparable to that of Whey Protein. The powder itself is light, fluffy, and airy. The stuff mixes quick and easy with a magic bullet type of blender. I've always used vanilla flavored almond milk as the mixing liquid and that's pretty tasty, you can handle mixing with water if you had to but why is the question.

Premier Protein shakes taste much better than Pure Protein. Smooth, creamy, and delicious!

For the money, this is one of the best protein powders per scoop. As far as gaining muscle, the best way to do that this you take 2 to 1 carbohydrates to protein immediately after a workout. So for example you would want to take one scoop of the protein which is about 25 g of protein and then also take 50 g of simple carbohydrates. Optimum nutrition sells a simple carbohydrate called maze. You can also drink grape juice which would do the same thing. The maze from optimum nutrition is cheaper but both do the same thing.

Nope...the J Robb whey protein products I use are sweetened with stevia. I mix the unflavored and vanilla in equal parts as I find the vanilla is a bit too sweet and 'vanilla-y' for my taste. Makes an excellent smoothie paired with fresh fruit, cranberry juice and water...or flavorings of your choice.

It's a much better taste. As for "results," considering my diet and exercise routine is kicking back into gear, I feel much better taking this protein post workout than I did with Optimum Whey.

It is pretty much flavorless, with a faint clay-ish or chalky taste. I believe other flavors in your protein shake would completely cover any flavor from the L-glutamine.

There is no whey protein. I'll post a picture of the ingredients if I can figure it out.

It tastes good. Try it with vanilla unsweetened almond milk, very delicious. You do know vibrant health has this very same green drink IN a protein powder? The chocolate one is amazing.

I agree with most others...vanilla is the most versatile and makes awesome fruit smoothies with a lot of protein. I usually mix apple juice, a little ice, blueberries, strawberries and a half banana with a little greek yogurt for added protein along with two scoops of vanilla whey powder. Breakfast of champions right there!
