Taste		It seems anyone, athletes in particular, and those with blood sugar issues specifically, find themselves in trouble when they eat for entertainment (taste and quantity).
Taste		My mantra has always been that if the taste of a protein supplement is only passable, then it's probably better than one that is too sweet.
Taste		No artificial sweeteners, and I was actually surprised by the good taste.


Muscle gain		This Natural is whey is an awesome post workout supplement, gained leaned muscle in just a few weeks on this, and loved it ever since!


Taste		I won't buy that stuff until they figure out that preservatives, fake colors, flavors, sweenters are toxic.
Anti-catabolic		I use ON's natural whey because there are NO PRESERVATIVES! NO ARTIFICAL SWEETNERS!

Taste		I also mix it with a vanilla flavor I have that is sweet and mixing them both knocks it down about 50% of the sweetness.
Taste		Let my mother try it and she has nothing to do with any of this and liked its taste.
Mixes well		Mixes good, use it in my Smartshaker.


Muscle gain		I had gained noticeable volume in the areas that i worked on.
Taste		The taste was pretty good, it was more like a plain cocoa powder type taste than a yoohoo or nesquik.


Taste		While the taste is SLIGHTLY bland compared to the regular chocolate,
Taste		And just like comparing fast food to homemade, I feel better afterwards and it doesn't have that processed taste.
Ingredient profile		I feel a lot better knowing the only sugar sources are from natural ingredients.


Muscle gain		great recovery and great lean muscle gains.
Taste		Even if you are not dieting you should still buy the natural whey because who needs the artificial flavors?

Gas or bloating	doesnt make you feel bloated at all and good for cutting or bulking, its just


Taste		Taste is good, 100% natural, & isolate is the #1 ingredient.
Recovery ability		Recovery is good on this, I take it post workout and occasionally as a midday snack replacement.
