It's just your ghetto balla self coming out again. Grape Drank flavored protein ftw.

Optimum Nutrition- Chocolate Mint.

personal favorite along with the double chocolate. disolves easy and makes 70g of protein go down like water.

9/10

Metabolic Drive- Orange

my favorite along with banana. The rest taste too strong in their flavor. Doesn't mix for **** and clumps, impossible to make without a big spoon and glass and goes down really slow, bad convenience overall. Nutritional value and taste are OK though.

8/10

I should set a future goal to diversify my protein pallate.

True Protein Orange

Great Mixing
Terrible Taste
Wretched aftertaste reminiscent of tang + vomit

I've tried a ton of new proteins in the last couple weeks, as I ordered the ON 16 flavor sample pack. I've also tried Syntha-6 Strawberry Milkshake and Chocolate Mint since my last reviews.

BSN Syntha-6 Strawberry Milkshake - 10/10 taste, 10/10 mixability. Along with S6 Chocolate Peanut Butter (and not that far behind S6 Cookies & Cream), this is the by far the best tasting protein I've come across and I mix at least one of these every day.

BSN Syntha-6 Chocolate Mint - 7.5/10 taste, 9/10 mixability. Still pretty good as far as taste goes, but of the four S6 proteins I've tried, this one is at the bottom of the lineup.

ON Banana Cream - 7.5/10 taste, 9/10 mixability. Even though it's not the greatest taste-wise, it's pretty good and I'll probably order a small tub for the change of pace.

ON Delicious Strawberry - 6/10 taste, 10/10 mixability. Just meh, generic, pales in comparison to both S6 Strawberry Milkshake and the later mentioned ON Strawberry Banana.

ON Caramel Toffee Fudge - 5/10 taste, 9/10 mixability. I really think this is one of those "love it or hate it" kinda flavors that you have to try for yourself, but as for me I didn't really like it. One thought that crossed my mind while trying this one is how horrid it would go down PWO.

ON Chocolate Malt - 7.5/10 taste, 10/10 mixability. I think this is the best of the chocolates I tasted in the sample pack, and I'll probably order a tub of it.

ON Double Rich Chocolate - 6/10 taste, 10/10 mixability. I'd previously ordered a tub of this without first trying it based on recommendations before I tried this sample pack (and earlier gave it a 5/10, which I'd bump up a bit here upon trying all the other flavors). I'm surprised so many people like it because frankly I think it's the worst of the four chocolates in the sample pack.

ON Chocolate Mint - 7/10 taste, 8/10 mixability. The taste is a bit light but still good. If I were ever looking for a mint flavor again I'd probably order this even though I thought the S6 tasted a bit better, as the ON offers a bit better fat/carb profile than the S6, but for now I'll pass on this one.

ON Extreme Milk Chocolate - 7/10 taste, 10/10 mixability. This one had the strongest flavor of the four chocolates, and I can see how this one receives mixed reviews. Overall I think this one's good but not great, and I'd order the Chocolate Malt before this one.

ON Strawberry Banana - 8/10 taste, 8/10 mixability. This one tastes just like its name suggests and it was probably the best tasting one in the pack by a hair, but I don't see myself purchasing this one on account of the S6 Strawberry Milkshake tasting the best as far as strawberry flavors go.

ON Rocky Road - 7.5/10 taste, 10/10 mixability. This has a unique flavor that I liked and I'll probably order a small tub of this, for similar reasons to the Banana Cream.

ON Root Beer Float - 7/10 taste, 8/10 mixability. This tastes just like the name sounds, minus the biting carbonation feel of the real thing. It's good overall but not quite good enough for me to buy a tub of it at this time, maybe some time down the road.

ON Cookies & Cream - 5/10 taste, 8/10 mixability. Bleh, not much here, and I don't think I've ever seen good reviews on this one either. Furthermore the S6 Cookies & Cream tastes way way way better, so I don't see any scenario where you'd want to buy this one ever.

ON Orange Cream - 3/10 taste, 7/10 mixability. Just horribly nasty and thick to boot, I dumped this one with more than half the glass remaining.

ON Tropical Punch - 6.5/10 taste, 6/10 mixability. This one surprised me a bit as I didn't expect much from it, but the taste is still slightly generic. Didn't mix well either.

ON Vanilla Ice Cream - 5/10 taste, 10/10 mixability. Very bleh with a kinda sour taste. Overall though just really bland/generic.

ON French Vanilla Creme - 5.5/10 taste, 10/10 mixability. This one had a more distinct vanilla taste than the previous one. I thought it had a bit of a bitter taste that you slightly taste in some of the other ON proteins, but this taste came out a lot more here.

ON Mocha Cappuccino - 7.5/10 taste, 9/10 mixability. This one's pretty good overall, but I probably won't get it as I'm not much of a coffee drinker in general. I think a lot of people could like this one though, and if there are a small handful of "try it for yourself" flavors, this is one of them.

picked up some Oh Yeah RTD's for like 1.20 a bottle (super awesome deal) and the makeup of it is pretty good, along with it tasting really good.

32 grams of protein, 3 grams of sugar, 9 grams of fat. I really just bought it because it was such a steal

What do you lot think about cooking with protein powder? Some recipes for nut bars require you to oven cook with protein powder which some say is bad.

I just wanted to say that I love this PWO, 2:1 dextroserotein. But then I really like sweet stuff, so...Doesn't do it for me mixed with milk, but I really like it with sweet with water.

And yes, it does mix well.

Definitely post in here once you've tried that one, as I haven't tasted a good vanilla flavor yet and S6 is mostly really good.

Someone gave it 9/10 in this thread.

I looked into this and you're right... however, apparently it doesn't matter as the important stuff doesn't get lost.

It seems that ON is a favorite here.... I have been using Designer Whey, any major differences?

I just got Syntha-6 Vanilla and Mochacinno(sp?). I don't really like the Vanilla flavor (it's ok, just not my favorite), but the Mochacinno is sick good. I really like it in milk, haven't tried it with water.

I also got the BSN Syntha-6 vanilla. 10/10 imo. Tastes like a milkshake even just with water. Don't like the look of some of the ingredients (corn syrup etc) but probably not anything unique to this protein.

Yea, there's almost always a tradeoff between taste and filler components.

MD strikes a reasonable balance. For totally filler-free stuff trueprotein is great. Their teamskip (34% wpi 33% micellar casein 33% egg protein) tastes deece to me.
