Hello Fitness Pals...

I need some advice! So I'm ordering Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey protein and need a little input on which flavors are the best! I can't decide which one to get since I'm ordering the 5lbs and don't want to get stuck with a bad flavor!

Lots of Thanks

    What are you going to do with it?

    If you plan on blending it with other ingredients in smoothies, etc, I'd recommend sticking with a pretty general flavor (vanilla or chocolate).

    FTR, those are the only two I've personally had and both were just fine.

    Trutein 4 lyfe

    Srs. I ordered ON Extreme Milk Chocolate and it's gross. I can't wait til it's gone. I can't speak for other flavors but at least with Trutein you can get some samples before you commit.

    We only use Gold Standard Natural Vanilla and love it. It has NO weird aftertaste, a small ingredients list, good nutrition numbers, and mixes very well. It has a subtle yet appreciable vanilla flavor that just works. Its the only one of any protein powders we've had any luck with.

    Rainbowbow by far the best post ever hahah

    Thank you everyone for the replies! I'm going to be taking my shakes post workout and perhaps meal replacement so I want to make sure they taste good! I like ON products so planning on sticking with them. And I don't blend mine with anything except milk so I like a bit of flavor

    I'm in love with my About Time. I use the unflavored, but there are many different options. They also have a vegan protein too. 0zg2ema37n1v.png

    About Time and Trutein are my favorites. Trutein definitely wins when it comes to flavor (I bought Mocha Caramel, SO GOOD), but I like to keep a tub of About Time unflavored in case I have something I can hide it in. :smile:

    Costco sells the Vanilla and Chocolate versions in 6-lb bags for around $60. Cheapest you'll find. Vanilla tastes great by itself or mixed.
