ON makes an alright product here. Unfortunately for the consumer, they have marketed their way into making everyone drink the cool-aid that they're the highest quality protein ever. Note that this is a protein BLEND, and to keep their prices lower, ON likely includes almost half the protein as concentrates. I know with ON's protein I get gas from the concentrates. Every time.
The flavor is so-so. Many other companies have made better flavored stuff, but ON was the best deal --- for a while. They aren't anymore, and it's gone from the bodybuilder bargain bin, to spreading on everyone and their mothers because of word of mouth.
The protein mixes pretty good - I guess, but I also use a blender most of the time so that's really a second thought for me since I can make it mix!
It was never really a great product to begin with, but them adding a premium to their price tag completely blew their cause.
If you have the money to buy at least ten pounds of protein right now, I'd grab some of the quickly growing American Whey brand. It's all isolates (which kicks butt!). |
