Grow! Whey is, hands down, my favorite whey protein.
BUT, I use Whey in bulk. So, I save my Grow! Whey for my nightly shake (1 scoop Grow! Whey, 1 scoop Superfood, 1 scoop Metabolic Drive Vanilla, in that order. you try and shake it up any other way and it turns to liquid shit.) and use a different “natural” whey for my daytime, non-Surge shake.
About every 12-16 weeks, I “cycle-off” of Biotest proteins, because I get super-bad gas and stomach cramps when I keep the same powdered protein source. Happened since I was a wee chap.
Everytime I have tried ON stuff, I didn’t enjoy the taste, after-taste or consistency. The Kaizen stuff from costco tastes pretty weird to me too.
The best protein I have tried so far was by a company called Bio-X, the chocolate flavor and the peanut butter swirl flavor. It was pretty cheap too, ~$50 bucks Canadian for 5.5 pounds.
For what its worth, I havent tried Biotest stuff yet, but am waiting on both chocolate and vanilla flavors of Grow! Whey right now in the mail (split an order with someone who lives nearby, they made the purchase).

Any time I see a statement like that I have to question whether the poster works for ON because ever time I’ve tried their stuff it was average at best. Their chocolate was like chocolate-flavored water.[/quote]
I thought ON chocolate was pretty good but I always drink my shakes mixed with whole milk, I never understood how one would be able to tolerate whey’s taste by itself.
