Best protein powder July 27, 2007

I'm a woman and not a body builder, but I love this protein powder for a super quick breakfast or an evening snack. It gives you clean burning energy, so to speak, without the blood sugar crash of candy bars or other less than optimal snack products. It dissolves well with some vigorous shaking in any sealed container--I just use an ordinary bowl-shaped tupperware container.
It contains no fructose, and is barely sweetened with stevia extract. That's fine because I can add my own sources of sweetness in the form of organic soy milk that I buy in bulk from Costco. I had my family try it and they couldn't tell this apart from ordinary ovaltine or chocolate soy milk. Even if you're using water or milk, unless you're hyper vigilant about sugar intake, adding a bit of your own sweetener (I hate artificial sweeteners, I'd rather add raw, real sugar) would still bring your sugar intake far below most of those other "protein shake" products out in the market while still delivering a dose of high quality protein (whey is superior to all other sources of popularly available protein powders according to the sources I've researched).
Very impressed! June 6, 2007

After spending hours comparing nutritional information labels on a dozen diffrent brands of powders, I decided on this one for obvious reasons. It replaces alot of ingredients with natural ones, and costs only about 46 cents per serving, yet has an impressive 24 grams of protein per serving. That's really the bottom line why you should choose this product.
I got the chocolate. Threw it in a glass of water, and was VERY surprised that after stirring for about 30 seconds with just a spoon, it had almost completely disolved. You dont even need a shaker for this. As far as the taste well, theres no sweetener, and almost no sugar or fat. So of course it doesnt taste like a freakin milkshake. It's really good for you. Im sure in milk (which adds fat and sugar) it will taste great but i wont be doing that personally.
I wrote this review half a year ago, and the price has gone way up since then. It is still a great product, but not the huge value it was back when i got it $10 cheaper.

I've been using ON 100% Natural Whey for almost a year now, and it's fantastic. Whether used as coffee creamer, mixed in a glass of water, or used in my frozen churner to make ice cream, the chocolate flavor is the best!
Don't let the new packaging fool ya, it's the same ON 100% Natural Whey protein.

I'm not a pro athlete or bodybuilder but I do put emphasis on staying physically active and in good shape. After researching whey protein supplements I bought this product because it had no added artificail sweetners other than fructose. The sugar is minimal and the amount of protein you get is optimal.
The taste? I drink it with water and it is very tolerable, I would even say I enjoy it. If you mix it with milk, I haven't yet, but it would probably taste very good, like chocolate but not so sweet as chocolate milk mixes, which are full of sugar. I highly recommend this product, at $30 what I payed its an excellent value. I consider this my main source of protein instead of the frozen chicken breasts I used to buy. But don't forget your vegetables.
Natural Whey Chocolate is great June 12, 2007

I recently began purchasing Natural Whey and have really enjoyed it. I am trying to cut out artificial sweeteners from my diet, and this was one of the few products I could find that is not made with any. As far as taste is concerned it is not quite as good as normal ON Whey but still taste great, just a weaker taste overall. I generally mix my whey with dextrose or honey so it tastes just fine in the end. It mixes well regardless of the method you use, although spoon stirring it doesn't work as well as shaking. Overall I would recommend you give this product a shot if you have ever wondered how it was. At worst it doesn't have the right taste for you and you can add something to sweeten it. At best you will have found a new great kind of whey with no artificial sweeteners in it.
