The taste is what the packaging says. I love it, it almost tastes like chocolate milk. I haven’t tried it but I guess drinking it with water would also be okay given the taste

Great taste & way to get your protein in!
It taste like chocolate milk 🙂
It is 120 cals per scoop with 24g of protein which isn’t bad.
I feel like it also gives energy & definitely replenishes after workout!
Great value

I got the Extreme Milk Chocolate flavor. I’m actually really surprised with how easily this stuff dissolves. I stir it with a spoon for about 20 seconds and bam, ready to go. It tastes like creamy chocolate milk. Highly preferable to other brands where no matter how much you stir, it’s still thick and chunky.
I would NOT however recommend getting the Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor because it sticks together and if you stir with a spoon, you will get several chunks no matter what you do. And it doesn’t taste very good. The Extreme Milk Chocolate is much better in all respects.

I’ve been using Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein for over 8 years, and it never disappoints. The Extreme Milk Chocolate flavor is fantastic rich, smooth, and easy to mix in a shaker bottle whether it’s with water or milk leaving no clumps. I go with 2 scoops per serving, and it’s been a game-changer for my post-workout recovery. I’ve noticed better muscle recovery, increased energy, and it’s a huge help in hitting my daily protein goals. If you’re looking for a dependable, great-tasting protein powder, this one’s absolutely worth trying!

Review based on Extreme Milk Chocolate flavor.
There’s a reason they call this “Gold Standard.” Each scoop packs in 24 g of high quality whey isolates, aka the pure protein good stuff, with only 130 calories and 1.5g Fat per scoop. Whey is a short acting protein, so it’s best taken shortly after a lift session. This review is based on the Extreme Milk Chocolate flavor. While it doesn’t taste as good as something like Muscle Milk, I didn’t expect it to, since it cuts out a ton of the sweeteners and calories found in Muscle Milk. With 8 oz of water, one scoop of this stuff creates a mild, odd chocolate flavor. I wouldn’t say it’s bad, but I wouldn’t say it’s good either. With 8 oz of skim milk, the flavor improves a great deal, and is borderline “tasty.” With milk, it also creates a much thicker drink of a milkshake like consistency. I will definitely stick to drinking this with milk from now on. If the taste was a little better, I would have given this 5 stars.
As a medical student, I know that a lot of these protein supplements are not only unnecessary, but can be dangerous. Excess protein won’t help you build muscle any faster. It has the potential to clog up your kidneys and lead to kidney damage at a young age. I spoke with several doctors I’ve worked with in the hospitals during my rotations and here’s the consensus: 1) Keep well hydrated. The more dehydrated you are, the more likely the excess protein will damage your kidneys. 2) Don’t over do it. The average person only needs about 1 g of protein per kg body weight. If you’re exercising a lot (especially lifting), your protein needs certainly increase, but only to about 1.2 – 1.8 g protein per kg body weight. The average person gets plenty of protein in their everyday diet, so adding a supplement isn’t necessary for the vast majority of people. Studies have shown that most people DON’T benefit (ie. gain any more muscle) from adding them to their workout. Here’s the thing: If you’re dieting, you may be losing some of the normal protein sources in your diet, and therefore, could benefit from some form of protein supplement. That is where I fall in. I am currently trying to shed some pounds with dieting and exercise, while trying to not only maintain, but build some lean muscle. So for me, I think the supplements will be beneficial.
Summary and advice: This is a great choice for protein supplementation, especially for those on a diet, due to the high percentage of protein per scoop, with low calorie/low fat profile.

I’ve gone through a few flavors (French Vanilla being the most disgusting), but this one is the best. I’ve even tried the Double Chocolate, but this one beats that. Normally I don’t care for milk chocolate, but this is VERY chocolatey! Love it. My flavor search is over. Flavor aside, good product. Mixes well, tastes great with water, low calories and high protein. A very good supplement.
Je suis passé par quelques saveurs (french vanilla [vanille franciase? cafe] étant le plus dégoûtant), mais celui-ci est le meilleur. J’ai même essayé le double chocolat, mais celui-ci le bat. Normalement, je n’aime pas le chocolat au lait, mais cela est très chocolaté! Aimer. Ma recherche de la saveur est terminée. Flavor à part, bon produit. Mélange facile sans touffes, bon goût avec de l’eau, faible en calories et riche en protéines. Un très bon supplément.

Es primera vez que tomo proteínas, había probado algunas anteriormente pero nunca me había gustado tomarlas. Tras una cirugía importante me la ha indicado el médico y compre esta para probar. Me encantó, es de sabor suave, se diluye muy bien. La uso con leche desnatada y me encanta. Tal cual una merengada, que no se hace pesada al momento de tomarla.
Repetiré sin duda.
