Thread: Optimum 100% whey: Never will I taste chocolate again.

I tend to alternate

I must say the vanilla and cappuchino sups I take taste a lot nicer than the chocolate ones, strawberry is nice too

I had a tub of a creatine/glutamine/dextrose/whey 'all-in-one' supplement (cyclone from maximuscle) and for some reason it wasn't mixing as well as it normally dose (it had bits in it, it was like someone has poured sand in my tub), it was chocolate flavour and it made me feel sick just thinking about having it

Its really put me off choc flavour sups now

Optimum tastes like crap in any flavor. You haven't tasted nasty though until you order from proteinfactory.com and forget to have sweetener added...HOLY CRAP!!!!!

Labrada makes a tasty chocolate protein. Vanilla in any brand just reminds me too much of Jiz. lol

I highly disagree which only goes to show nobody agrees on taste, Optimum chocolate whey tastes like Ovaltine to me, I like it warm, cold, in water or in milk.

Right now I have unflavored milk protein, and I have some vanilla pro-rated whey. I did NOT like the pro-rated chocolate, way way too rich. Honestly people, chug the damn shake and shut up please

I wonder what you would think of my old 30 pounds of milk/egg mix, no flavoring, that was a bit harder to chug but hey, chug it and shush.

Chocolate and vanilla are both good. I like to switch between them; one flavor gets old after some time.

Oh I did chug in mudge, never once complained, just the occasional gag . But I chug mutch happier now

I hate vanilla. Tastes like butt juice. Double rich chocolate is the only one that I found that I like.

I agree with Mudge. It does prove how peoples taste vary greatly. To me Optimum's whey in chocolate flavor tastes very good mixed with milk. Water on the other hand tastes, well... watery, but certainly not awful.

Remember the first whey products that used ion exhange? They tasted like used dish soap!

I drink em all but only because they are good for me.They have a bitter aftertaste.I personally love EAS Myo Plex but higher carbs and aspartame so stopped taking it.I wish they could make a real delicious one with no carbs and sugars.Might be mission impossible though.
Hey sometimes I mix all flavors when I get bored.

Real bodybuilders will drink pond water that tastes like shit if it will put muscle on.

I always thought the Vanilla looked like Breast Milk

Actually it all does come from one breast or another for us babies. Might as well look like it.

Labrada shakes are pretty damn good. Chocolate and chocolate peanut butter. They have a low carb shake also but I haven't tried that one.

World's BEST TASTING PROTEIN is Biotest Grow (Vanilla).
Don't take my word for it, try it for yourself!

The worst tasting protein I've ever had in my life was unflavored Soy. Right now I have unflavored milk protein and it is easily drinkable, a bit easier than unflavored milk and egg mix for whatever reasons.

Soy tastes horrible!
Worst yet, it ain't good for males because of it's estrogenic nature!

Believe me, I dont buy that stuff anymore. I bought it around the heyday of soy, it was $10 a container which was cheap. I tried making pancakes out of it because it was so horrible That failed miserably BTW.

That would have been about 8 years ago I think.

I've tried Optimun Whey, Nitrotech, Glycerlean, Syntrax Nectars, etc. As for chocolate, the best tasting protein powder I've had so far is Muscle Provider by Beverly International.

I've heard that but its $

You might want to try Pro-Rated Chocolate Flavor.
allsportsnutrition.com sells it for $38 for 10 Lbs.

I agree that the goal is just getting the crap down, but why would someone gag something down, when you can find something more appealing that is equel in quality? Last think I want is to NOT look forward to my protein.

You are right Mudge, the BI is $$$, but those guys are pioneers. I remember when it was them and Weiders. One was $$$, the other was crap. lol
