Taste		This is by far may favorite flavor... Its the only flavor I feel doesn't need to mix with something else like milk...


Fat loss		With this and also cleaning up the rest of my diet, I've lost about 10 pounds in 6 weeks and looking more cut.
Taste		Great tasting protein powder even when just mixed with water.
Mixes well		Mixes easily; I just use a shaker bottle.


Texture		but it's pretty good and it's nice and thick, which I like.


Taste		Taste is great with milk, just ok with water.
Value for money		Great product for the price.


Taste		Before this I tried NitroCore, 100% Whey and Natural Oats n Whey all in Vanilla based flavors.
Taste		They were awful and by far the worst tasting proteins I've ever had.
Taste		I heard that Optimum does chocolate flavors much better so I decided to give them one more chance.
Taste		It's true the chocolate flavor is above and beyond the vanilla flavor.
Taste		But there is still a subtle aftertaste.
Taste		All The Whey Fat Free Isolate is a better whey protein, better tasting and costs .50/serving
Taste		They Whey and Scivation provide far superior tasting whey products and at a much cheaper price.
Taste		Don't waste your time with Optimum proteins, check out All The Whey, Scivation, Gaspari or Biotest for better taste and better proteins.
Value for money		Optimum is overrated overpriced crap.
Value for money		but it is considerably more expensive.
Value for money		They Whey and Scivation provide far superior tasting whey products and at a much cheaper price.

Taste		THIS IS GOOD tastes exactly as the name will keep buying.


Taste		Yummy, chocolaty, minty milk goodness.
Taste		(or maybe try another flavor).
Mixes well		Especially good when mixed with milk.
Mixes well		I use it with a shaker bottle that I received for free, and have had no problems with it being clumpy or it unevenly mixed.


Taste		I enojoy ON whey and buy it in 10 lb bags to get my dollars worth, with this sample kit I got to pick the right flavor for me.
Value for money		Best price plus extra samples/free gift, unbelievable deal!


Taste		Oh my this stuff is tasty.
Taste		The flavor is especially rich when you add a little sugar free syrup to it or something :) The only thing i do not like about this flavor is it seems to not froth as much when it is whipped up.
Taste		Haha anyways great flavor ON!


Taste		Great value and taste!
Taste		Tastes best if mixed with milk,
Value for money		Great value and taste!


Value for money		this is a great protein powder that works and that is cheap(cost wise hahaha) i use it as a snack for my in between meal and of course after i workout and before i go to bed.


Taste		This is by far my favorite protein AND my favorite flavor.
Taste		Its a "limited edition" flavor
Taste		but ON needs to put it in the line-up, its delicious and as is true for all of ON's stuff, it gets results.


Taste		It tastes very good, its not overly sweet, or bland by any means.
Mixes well		Mixes with ease, especially in ON shaker cups.


Taste		Rocky Road is one of the best flavors I've had in a protein shake.
Taste		The taste was amazing and, unlike muscle milk, it's great that one scoop gives you 24 grams.
Taste		I highly recommend this flavor.
Mixes well		Mixability is a 10/10.
