Everyone knows that I am the pickiest Protein person in the world. BUT, I finally have found one that I can tolerate taste, texture and most importantly smell.

While John was deployed, he used a protein supplement after working out. He swore by the stuff, and I was pretty hesitant since I've tried and hated so many.

But, after trying the GNC soy protein with zero success, I decided to try his suggestion.

whey Optimum is the brand name. It mixes with zero texture, or graininess. John loved the Extreme Milk chocolate so I bought that flavor. I mixed it with filtered Water, and add 2 ice cubes to chill it. I even shook it up, no foam, no froth. They do have a 16 flavor sample pack available to order.

The best prices I've seen on the web are on bodybuilding.com and you can search for Whey Optimum. The prices here are actually less than what I paid at our GNC on base, we pay zero tax there, and have a GNC GOLD CARD. Even with all the discounts, this place is cheaper. But, GNC will take back open products if you don't like it.

Did anyone else order these? I'd love to hear another opinion on them before ordering myself.

Thanks!

I've talked to about 4 other members in the chat room, and they all liked the milk chocolate as well. I haven't heard any reviews on the other flavors though.

Thanks Tiffy!

I ordered the sample pack Tiffy suggested & got them today. So far I've tried the caramel toffee fudge. I'm not even a huge fan of caramel, but it's so yummy!

Once again Tiff thanks for the great information!!:001_rolleyes:

I'm still preop but I ordered the 16 flavor trial pack and shaker.

Thanks for the tip Tiff, you have a lot of great ones.

so far, from the sample pack, I liked the vanilla and the cookies and cream the best. I took some samples with me on my vacation because they mix so well without a blender.
