Pros: price, amount of protein per serving, amount of servings, taste*, mixes well*
Cons: taste at first, mixes poorly without blender
The Bottom Line: BUY IT, it would be worth the money even if it didnt have any protein at all and was just chocolate milk mix

| endezeichen's Full Review: Optimum Nutrition 5.0-Lb. Chocolate Flavor Whey Pr... |
I bought this product mainly of the price per serving (about 23 cents at www.bodybuilding.com. At first, I thought it was low priced for a reason. It seemed too good to be true. It wasn't until I received the product when I realized it is one of the best protein supplements on the market today.
Most people are turned away by the meager 23 grams of protein per serving. That compared to other protein supplements with amounts as large as 80 grams is not very good. But if you look closely at the serving size of some of the higher protein products you will it is twice or even 3 times the serving size of 100% whey! The only reason they have more protein is because your taking a lot bigger serving size. ON's 100% whey is over 78% protein per serving. It's amazing how they can do this and still keep a decent taste. Instead of getting 30 servings per 5 lbs like other products, you get 77.
The taste for me, was 3 stages. First time I tried it I thought "Wow this is better than Nesquik" Second time I thought "Noooo it's not this is awful" The taste is kind of 2 part. There is a really good flavor, then there is a really bad kind of aftertaste to it. But after taking it for a while you don't even notice it anymore.
One of the main concerns of protein taste is the amount of grit floating around after mixing. I found this amount a little excessive with 100% whey when mixing it with a spoon, but with a blender it is totally liquified and is definitely worth the extra time.
As for the results, I havent had the product long enough to describe everything, but so far my max bench has gone up 20 pounds, and my deadlift 30 pounds in 5 weeks.
Definitely worth the money
