This product has the best volume to price ratio I could find. It tastes great, and it really seems to help. I've been using it since about January, and my 1 rep max in benchpress has gone from 240lbs to 280lbs. The only problem is, it's a little hard to mix by hand. There are always little globby bits at the top no matter how long I mix it.

I first bought the Cookies N' Cream version of the Optimum whey. It gave me great results by helping speed up my recovery time, and I truly did notice a difference in my muscle development after starting to use it. However, the taste of Cookies n' Cream isn't really that great and small cookie bits can be annoying. However, I later tried the double chocolate flavor and it really does taste like real chocolate, and is something you can really enjoy. But in the end I guess it's all about personal taste, it seems that some of the other reviewers liked the cookies n' cream but not the chocolate.
On a side note; Taking protien shakes does not develop your muscles, or give them an complexion or even make you bigger. It all depends on the type of workout you have. You grow outside of the gym not inside the gym, however, muscles need to be repaired after a good workoutm and that's what protiens do. They repair damaged muscles and strengthen them, and at the same time make them bigger.
My First Powder - Tasty and Affordable! - Buy Extra Milk From Grocery Store June 16, 2006 3 out of 3 found this comment useful.
I researched protein powders by reading reviews and forum postins and on whey protein was one i kept seeing again and again. It was cheap too (comparatively) so i jumped on it. I'm trying to bulk up for my first year of college and this was the first powder ive tried. And its fantastic! For taste anyway, i havent had it long enough to look for results. With water, its ok, kind of bland but not bad tasting at all. A bit gooey, could be a bit sweeter, but i still liked it. I have only tried mixing it with a spoon and it easily dissolves but clumps in goo floaters. Not a problem for me. When i tried it with milk it was delicious! Tasted just like milk chocolate powder you get at grocery stores. Its almost too good as now when i get close to finishing my workouts i look forward too much to the postworkout snack and lose focus. Highly recommended!

I got this as a gift last Christmas. I want to add to all the good reviews above, it not only gives you quality protein, but is also very easy on the stomach. I noticed this as I switched over from a different product. It tastes great with a fruit(banana), and milk.
My fav is Cookies n Cream May 22, 2006 3 out of 3 found this comment useful.
By far, the Optimum Nutrition brand is the best for the price AND taste. I've tried Double Chocolate (mix with instant coffee), Vanilla (great with fruit), and my fav Cookies and Cream (eat with a 1/2 banana and you're set). Lost 35 pounds while gaining incredible upper body muscle, and I have this brand to thank. Four months later, it still doesn't get old. That's a big plus. I'm ordering anoth 5 lb tub as I type this review.
