ON Whey protien is one of the top protien powders out on the market today. I have used and am currently using the Double Rich Chocolate. If you like chocolate flavors shakes, then this product is the one for you to use. If you mix it in a bleder with water, it tastes ok to good. Its almost like a watered gdown chocolate shake. If you mix it witha blender with milk, then it tastes exactly like chocolate milk, or a chocolate shake depending on the thickness of the mixture. I bring up using a blender because I found that it is pretty clumpy if you use a spoon to mix. You can also add in your favorite fruit or some peanut butter for additional protien.

ON Whey protien is pretty cheap depending on where you go. I usually go to Bigcrumbs.com and look to see what type of rebate I can get when I purchase my supplements. Here is a link for Big Crumbs www.bigcrumbs.com/crumbs/landing.do?r=doquendo&s=6059. I never buy at a physical store unless I need it right away.

For those of us that are Lactose Intollerant at any level, I havent had any issues with taking this powder in milk or water. Not even a sign of gassiness or softer stools. Try it at first, and if your stomach doesnt feel right, go buy some lactaid chewable tablets before you down your protien shake.

I think ON Protien stacked with a creatine supplement will help with your of adding mass as well as just giving you some extra protien in your diet. I highly recommend ON Whey Protien for anyone who is looking for a great protien powder with excellent taste and a great value for the product.
