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.

Hormone-Free Whey Protein Isolate. Other Ingredients: Natural french vanilla flavor, soy lecithin, xanthan gum. Contains milk and soy. No sweeteners added in the natural flavor. I add my own. You can find more details on ingredients on other retailer's sites...

It's definitely worth the price and is hard to find elsewhere for less. I originally tried their Whey & Berries and Whey & Greens, then saw this and wanted to try it for the added nutrition - and it actually tastes great and has become my favorite. Ironically, the health food store near me stopped carrying it. When I saw it on Amazon for even less than the store, it was an easy decision. As far as other brands, I'm pretty picky about ingredients. Only Phood by PlantFusion has similarly gotten my attention, but that's plant protein not whey and they add isolated enzymes which I tried to avoid.

I prefer the unflavored organic whey protein mixed with (cow) milk. If you want a little extra sweetness add a table spoon of sugar. This is much better than the artificial sweeteners in flavored brands.

Chocolate chip cookie dough, vanilla almond crunch, double chocolate chunk, any of the peanut butter flavors. I believe mixed berry was good too, but I prefer the dessert type flavors.

Yes, and yes. We've been using Source Organic at our CrossFit box for close to a year, now. Everyone who's tried it swears it's the cleanest, best performing whey they've ever tried. If you're going to be consuming a lot of whey, you want some that works! The only complaint we've ever had is that it's nearly flavorless, which most find is a benefit.

I have only tried the yogurt apple flavor but think the p butter would be good too.

I used to drink a protein shake each morning, mixing two tablespoons of protein powder with 8 oz of soy milk using one of those plastic shaker bottles. I started using the Psyllium Husk instead of the protein powder and I find the results to be WAY better. The husks will not dissolve but if that really bothers you try letting it sit until the mixture sets up and then eat it with a spoon. I find it has a slight Cream of Wheat taste. There are also flavorings you can buy for the protein shakes that can enhance the taste.

I guess that would be a matter of personal taste. I'm a chocolate lover, but prefer the vanilla Whey Isolate. It also depends on how you plan to drink it. I make a smoothie; blending 8 oz. natural yogurt, 1 banana (or equivilant amount melon), 2 TBSP peanut butter, 2 TBSP wheat germ, 1 TBSP honey, and 2 scoops Whey Isolate - within 30 minutes of my workout. (I work out 3 days a week.) On off days I blend only the yogurt, wheat germ and 1 scoop Isolate. In an emergency, the vanilla ain't too bad mixed with cold water.

Designer Whey is the absolute best. I had Gastric Bypass in 2007 and the dietician recommended Designer Whey above ALL other protein supplements. It blends very well and has no gritty aftertaste. I love the Gourmet Chocolate!I can drink it plain or I even mix strawberries and/or a banana to give it a unique taste. Next I am going to get some Orange extract because chocolate and orange is a delicious combination as well. I use skim milk or 1% milk in the shake. GNC sells half the amount for the same price Amazon has it listed for. It's terrific! You will love it too and it is worth every penny. Susan S. Designer Whey is the absolute best.

They have a new option where you can get it in Whey. I ordered the soy version (even though the image said Whey) it still came to me correctly.

It really has no taste. That is why I mix it with the other flavored protein powder. Also it doesn't dissolve well without a ball or something in the shaker. I have not tried it in the blender. That would probably work well.

I prefer vanilla, for the ability to mix fruit and other flavors with it. This way you can switch up the flavor, and only have to buy one jug of protein. If I'm going for a quick shake, I will put a scoop in a shaker with milk or almond milk and a shake of cinnamon. Most of the time I mix it in a blender with ice, milk and fresh fruit. Also, here are a couple of favorite recipes:Banana bread: ice, milk ,1 scoop of protein, a banana, oats, honey and cinnamonChocolate Peanut butter: ice, milk, 1 scoop of protein, chunky peanut butter, chocolate syrup
