Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey, any good?

I usually use Kaizen, and have been happy with the taste and quality...but I see my local store has the Optimum on sale...is it any good?

My friend let me taste some chocolate mint he made with skim milk. It tasted awesome. I dunno how good the quality is though.

The taste isn't that great, but I've gotten over it. I have the vanilla. It mixes very well. I usually use N-Large, but I got the optimum stuff on sale as well. I like it, it doesn't leave me feeling bloated, and I use a double dose everytime.

I have a 5 pound tub of Optimum 100% whey in chocolate, and it rocks. I've seen better results with it than with NitroTech for half the price and better flavor. Mix it with skim milk if yer not on CKD and it tastes awesome, just like chocolate milk.

Buy optimum natural if you can. Regular optimum whey tastes fine, but has that normal chemical protein taste.

Mix up 2 scoops of natural, a cup of skim milk, a half cup of oatmeal, and 2 tbsb of peanut butter and you have something that's desert calibur!

You can't beat optimums man. Cheap and good quality.

I usually drink vanilla optium with Orange Juice. Would that be bad in any ways? It tastes great though and the protein pieces makes you think it's pulp.

I used do do that with all my vanilla protein shakes, kinda makes it taste like an orange smoothie...I liked it...

the 100% whey is ok for a whey concentrate, I think it is better tasting than the Kaizen (but I think that the Kaizen stuff tastes like crap)...Optimum's Pro-Complex is a bit better quality IMHO though it is a bit more.

Really? I love the taste of Kaizen....especially they're Strawberry Banana...
