  • Coffee Flavored!
Flavor Name: Coffee Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)
Coffee is easily my favorite flavor. mixes well with water, milk, black tea and coffee (duh) I do find having a small snack before hand helps digest better. Like a granola bar or banana. Especially if you are gonna have it first thing during the day. I do mix my creatine monohydrate with it. doesnt effect the taste with or without it. the larger container is nice, I pour it into an the smaller one I got to try it, so its easier to access daily and doesnt take too much counter space. Ive been taking optimum nutrition protein for two months. I lift 3 to 4 times a week. Paired with creatine ive noticed a signficant bump in progress. sometimes finding the 24ish grams of protein isnt simple and can be time consuming (which is always money consuming) and this an efficient and nice way to stay on top. Definitely by a Shaker, although it doesnt climb as bad as others. ... show more

  • Excellent for builders and non-builders
Flavor Name: Coffee Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)
I grew tired of using Wal-Mart stocked whey protein powders because of the high level of cholesterol and fat in each scoop. So, I decided to give Optimum Nutrition a try a couple of months back based on its reviews and its low cholesterol. I have noticed an improved muscle gain with Optimum over the other brands I had tried, though this could be because I used it more frequently throughout the day since I am not concerned about the cholesterol content. Whether or not I plan on working out that day, I will use a scoop in my bran flakes to get me going with most of my nutrients for the day. With half of my recommended daily protein intake for the day in each scoop, it is actually a very cost effective way to maintain a proper protein intake. So, whether you are a body builder or just conscious of proper nutrition, I highly recommend this product because it is one of the healthiest, pure sources of protein available, and it is very reasonably priced. Thus far, I have purchased the French Vanilla Creme and the Coffee flavors, and I have been very pleased with how much I actually enjoy the flavor of the powder. Let me begin by saying the powder dissolves very easily when mixed with a liquid, so it can be versatile in its use. The French Vanilla Creme is very appealing as a generic flavor that works well with most foods or liquids you would normally add it to. However, the Coffee flavor is more distinct, and does not work with everything the French Vanilla Creme will. I am a coffee lover, so it isn't a problem for me, and I really enjoy the Coffee flavored powder. When ordering it, I had my doubts about its "coffee" flavor, suspecting it may be just a powdery and light flavor. But, because it actually has very finely ground coffee in it, the coffee flavor is really strong! I suggest mixing it with a low-fat milk for something resembling a cappuccino. If you like coffee, get the coffee flavor. ... show more

  • Multiple flavor review
Flavor Name: Coffee Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)
So far I've tried 3 flavors of this stuff. Coffee is my favorite so far. I have a hard time deciding whether I prefer ON or bsn protein, both are excellent quality and make some really good flavors. Typically with proteins I stick to the chocolate, coffee or peanut butter flavored varieties. I hate the fruit flavored stuff. Coffee - 5 stars! Tastes exactly like instant coffee with a bit of milk/cream. Probably the single best tasting protein shake I've had to date. Without a doubt the best tasting when mixed with water (I HATE using water for most shakes but don't mind with this) Mochachino - 3.5/5 stars. It tastes exactly like someone mixed the coffee flavor with the chocolate variety. Not the best flavor but not the worst either. Doesn't mask the protein flavor as well as the "coffee" flavored variety. I don't even see why this exists honestly it's just a worse version of the coffee flavor. I can't see anybody preferring this over the coffee. Double chocolate - 2/5 stars. I think this stuff is foul! I had trouble choking it down. It's the worst chocolate flavored protein shake I've ever had by far. It isn't sweet enough and has just an odd nasty taste to it. Horrible. I'm going to try one of their other chocolate varieties next and god I hope it's not this bad! I give this two stars because even though it's bad it doesn't come close to how bad some of the flavors from other brands I've tried are. Not good tasting stuff though, I'd avoid this flavor if I were you! ... show more

  • Extra protein. One of the best.
Flavor Name: Coffee Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)
I love coffee, so I like the coffee flavor. I use it to get the protein I need when dieting. Or to replace a meal once or twice a day. Or to get sufficient protein when my food that day was not high enough in protein. It mixes well with water, tastes good, and doesn't bother my stomach. I had bought vanilla ice cream flavor because it was cheaper but didn't like that as much. With protein it's best to go with a popular brand. I tried a hemp vegan protein brand once and it messed up my gut something fierce. So I don't even bother with those veggie-based kinds anymore. This brand works well. Just wish it wasn't so expensive. Protein mixes have doubled in price since I started buying them. ... show more

Cinnamon roll is the best tasting in my opinion. 2 scoops of whey protein in 10 oz. of whole milk with 5 raw eggs. Delicious
