This is a popular protein that is sold at many of your local retail stores. It is a good choice as it blends a good ingredient profile with a very competitive price tag. It is an excellent choice for those that are looking for a cheaper, starter protein.

 Hi everyone, my name is Kyle and this is my first review. I figured why not start with something I know best? My father has used this for like 10 years, and I have spent a lot of time with all the flavors and observed the effects on him and myself. I most recently started taking body building more seriously and caring about diet and nutrition, which is essential. And with this tub of good you cannot really go wrong. First of all, it's AFFORDABLE. Like 15 bucks affordable and I love that. It has 52 grams of protein, a good amino stack, and it even has creatine in it! It taste great to me in water, milk, or soy milk. I have used it for post work out, I have made DELICIOUS protein bars with it, it makes an awesome smoothie in the morning with bananas, strawberries, oats, and some egg whites. And it is just GREAT for meal replacement. What I have found a good balance with is using this affordable tub for all the times I could use the extra protein throughout my day. And I save my expensive stuff for just post workout. But this can stand alone or really help to support your body everyday through meal replacements! Peanut butter chocolate is delicious, I have dealt with the vanilla my whole life and do not prefer it, and cookies and cream kicks face! LOVE IT!
I give this a 9/10 because it is just wonderful to help support nutritional gain and give you that extra kick, and hey man, 15 bucks!!

 i took this product as a post product. i only took it for 2 months, but did see some gains. i got a little bigger in my chest and arms, but nothin to serious. i took this with Morph GXR-3, and it really helped shhot my strength up. i got a little bigger like i said, but not extremely. i would buy this supplement again. it is cheap, with 52 grams of protein per serving. gave me some energy, and helped me recover a little faster as well. i also do recommend the Morph product. great energy from it

 Ok, so this was one of the first proteins I drank years ago. I really just wanted to write this review to say...This is not cheap, nor a good deal. You can buy isolate for the same price if not cheaper online; besides, that this protein is alright. You will find it has quite a bit of lactose, but it is a concentrate so thats no surprise. Anyways, i think most ppl pick this up b/c they didnt order sups online in time, and needed something to get by on.

 So being only 16, I dont have a lot of money and what money I do have I usually blow on expensive supplements. Well I saw this at walmart and decided to give it a chance. I usually take AMP wheyabolic 60 and I honestly couldn't tell the difference between the two other than price.
Effectiveness: Being a bmx racer I am not to worried about my weight gains but I will say that I have gained about 4 pounds on this a leaned out a lot. My favorite part is recovery, I train 6 days a week and need my recovery and this product delivers it!
Taste: I bought chocolate peanut butter and it tasted pretty good. It didn't really taste like peanut butter at all but I use water with mine so I don't know if that makes a difference. It kinda taste like coffee but it is still satisfying.
value: obviously the value is great, and if you go on line you can find 3, 2 pound tubs for around 40 bucks; that's 6 pounds of protein for the same price as a 2 pound of any name brand. And with the amount of bcaa and creatine you get, you cant beat it.
Mix-ability: I use a shaker cup 24/7 and it works just fine. Like i said before, I only use water. I have heard and read that if you use water it filters into your muscles faster. just a few flicks and your good to go.
Overall this a great product, especially if you are on a budget. I will for being keeping this in my stack.

 Now I want to start off by saying, I am not comparing this to a major brand protein, because its an unfair contest.
Flavor(8/10)-Chocolate, I liked this stuff pretty well, using milk makes it taste much better.It does have a sweet, and kinda different taste but its protein and as far as protein goes its pretty good.
Effectiveness(7.5/10-Typically not my main protein but when I run out and need a quick hitter, this is where I go. Contains Creatine and helps with water retention and recovery.You dont really see any huge gains, or size difference but it is a good protein to go with in a pinch.
Value(9/10)- This stuff is $14-16 when you pick it up at walmart and contains 140 cals and 26grams of protein, sounds like a solid deal to me.
Overall(7/10)- Not a protein you keep around for months unless your cutting but stil need a good source of protein but this stuff is taste good and it is solid 2nd option.

 Every time I run out of the ON Whey protein and don’t order it on time online (oops), I get this stuff to use while I am waiting for my ON. Then I ended up using the tub anyway.
It’s a good protein if you are on budget or need to get something from your local store. If you are buying your protein from general store (like wall-mart or target), go with this stuff.
I am going to start with the CONS:
There are 2 big cons with this product and one small. First of all, its main ingredient is Whey Concentrate (and only second is Whey Isolates). Its basically like buying juice that says its “100%” natural and then you read the small print and it says – “From Concentrate”. Same goes with the Whey Protein. You want the ISOLATES be the main (or ONLY) protein ingredient. Isolate is the purest form.
Second, I don’t know what they were thinking putting creatine into this product. WTH? I want protein, not creatine. If you are on your creatine off-cycle, forget about this product. First, they don’t tell you how much creatine is in it, so you can only guess (my guess would be 1-1.5 grams per serving). If you take 4 shakes a day, that 4-6 grams of creatine. So, if you are cycling off, you can’t take this product.
Finally, the BCAA profile is little “low”. If you use ON and have 3-4 shakes a day, you don’t need to add any more BCAAs to you diet, that protein has enough. This one definitely doesn’t.
Now for the PROS:
Well, they are obvious, its cheap (you can get it for $13 on wal-mart.com and free shipping or $15-16 in your local store) but the funny part is, if you buy 10lbs bag of ON on Supplement Warehouse, then the serving price will be almost the same as this stuff, but you get a much better product.
It mixes well, tastes good. It is only 140 calories for 26g of protein (that’s not bad at all), but most importantly you can go buy it from your local store and don’t overpay twice for it. I compared all the proteins available in local department stores (wal-mart, target, grocery stores) and this was the best product in terms of value/price.
If you are on budget or you are out of protein and need it TODAY – this is your product.

 If you are on a budget this is the protein supplement to get. ITS ON LY 14 BUCKS!!!
Flavor:COOKIES AND CREAM 8.5/10
Id have to say this is my top flavor. Really sweet and different from just the ordinary chocolate and vanilla.
Flavor:PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE 8/10
This flavor is pretty good aswell. Not as sweet as the cookies and cream and for some reason it reminds me of coffee.
Flavor: CHOCOLATE 5/10
I wasn't a big fan of the chocolate flavor. In all honestly i did not like it at all. I mean its not something to make you gag or anything but it did not satisfy me.
Flavor: VANILLA 7/10
Alright, This flavor was ok. Didn't taste too bad personally im not too big of a fan. What i did love about the vanilla was that if you were making a banana shake or something. You would just add a scoop of this flavor and it would make that shake taste hella good.
Effectiveness:7/10
I found the effectiveness of this protein decent its more of something to maintain your gains not so much put on size. 21 grams of protein per serving is good. But its a low quality protein. Overall its a protein i would use again if i were on a budget. If you can spare a couple more dollars go with some Dymatize. They have some great proteins.
Value: 10/10
You cant beat 14 bucks for 21 servings of 21 grams of whey protein haha. Value has to be the best thing about this product and its what makes it worth it.

 I have been using this for a couple years and making steady gains. GREAT value! Half the price of some other, more heavilly marketed, brands. The protien profile and ingredients seem comparable to higher price products. Good flavors... I love the product. I notice some bad reviews of the product (taste, consistency, etc) but IMO it's an awesome value. If you are some elite pro bodybuilder, maybe you need more. but I think this is effective and offers great value.

 Bottom line, if you are looking for one of the walmart / grocery store proteins this is the one to get.
When I started the "abs diet" from men’s health this was the protein powder I used. This combined with diet and exercise helped me lose 25 lbs and then start to bulk back up. While I think there are differences in protein and that the stuff you pay more for tends to help do more. Ultimately this stuff produced results.
As for mixing, I almost always put this stuff in some type of smoothie but the few times I did take it straight it mixed fine in a blender bottle. Taste was pretty standard too, while no Syntha-6 or amplify-xl it was good whey protein that helped me accomplish my fitness goals at the time.
If I do have one gripe now that I’m a little bit more into training it’s that the protein / carb ratio isn’t the best. I’m not sure what it is now, but back in the day there was quite a bit of sugar in this product. It also didn’t have any Amino Acids, Omega-3s, glutamine, or anything else at the time But I would buy this again versus any of the other “walmart” supplement mixes available.

 This is the first time I tried a lower budget protein as part of my "lower budget supps" experiment during the last 3 weeks.
I came across few coupons for this particular brand and wanted to see the difference of using a lower budget protein for a week and a half.
Each scoop yields 26 grams of protein.
Used this as my wake up protein drink (1 scoop) and my post workout protein (1 1/2 scoops) with either skim milk or Gatorade.
Value-10
I purchased this for $12, with a $3 coupon at Walmart. Pretty cheap for 2 lbs of whey protein, but you get what you pay for in price.
Mixablity-6
I usually mixed this with either skim milk or Gatorade. You really need to give it a stir or a good shake for at least a minute. Unfortunately, it was still slightly gritty regardless, as a result of the cheaper ingredients.
Taste-7
Purchased the vanilla flavor and it was decent with skim milk or Gatorade. I have had worse tasting proteins in the past than this product. The taste was decent even with the slight grittiness.
Side Effects
There is creatine mono in this product, but it doesn't state how much. This may or may not have caused the below
I did experienced bloating as compared to none, with my staple protein Dymatize Elite Whey, in using the same liquids to mix it with.
Effectiveness 7
This was a decent protein nonetheless. I did not notice any decrease in muscle size or appearance in the 1 1/2 weeks of using it, or notice any difference in my workouts.
I was expecting to notice a difference in the above.
Only issue was bloating,that subsided after about 1 hour of ingesting the product.
Overall 7
If you are on a budget and looking for a decent protein, then possibly give this a try.
