Customer Reviews of Optimum Nutrition 100% Egg Protein, Rich Chocolate, 2 PoundCustomer Review: Fantastic Taste Summary: 5 Stars
I've been a big user of Whey protein shakes, mainly Nature's Best Isopure brand (because it's lactose-free). Unfortunately, it got to the point that I just couldn't take the horrible taste anymore. I decided to try Optimum Nutrition's egg white protein because I had read great reviews for Optimum Nutrition's protein shakes online. I've got to say that they are correct--this shake tastes just like chocolate milk!
PROS
-The shake really does taste great. I used to choke down protein shakes--no more :)
-Excellent price. You get a good serving of protein (23 or 27 g per scoop) and there's something like 40 scoops in the container.
-Again the taste--just great.
CONS
-The ad claims that it is instantized (you can mix it with a spoon). Unfortunately, it takes a good minute or two of heavy duty mixing to get that effect. At first it clumps up, and you have to go at it to unclump it. Even then, there are often little pieces left. The good thing is the taste makes up for it so I've never minded that.
One last observation: whey protein seems to be "lighter" than this. I'm not sure if it's this particular brand or all egg protein shakes in general, but drinking my standard 1.5 scoops in the morning really fills me up! I feel a little heavy or full, almost like I've eaten a really big meal as I'm heading out the door. Just something to be prepared for!
Description of Optimum Nutrition 100% Egg Protein, Rich Chocolate, 2 PoundOptimum Nutrition ON chocolate100-percent Egg Protein is a dietary supplement with 30 Servings. Containing 22 grams of protein per serving and only 3 grams of carbohydrates. This supplement is low fat and sugar-free, contains aminogen, and is loaded with all 8 essential amino acids. Doesn't contain lactose or aspartame.Nutritionist commonly refer to eggs as the Gold Standard for protein quality. Eggs contain all of the eight essential amino acids (the type that your body cannot make from other substances) and very high levels of total amino acids; especially important sulfur-containing aminos. Eggs are also readily digested and absorbed. As a lactose-free protein source, eggs are often more tolerable to people who have trouble with dairy foods. For these and other reasons, eggs have been a staple of bodybuilders' diets since the beginning of the sport. The biggest problems with using whole eggs for a major source of dietary protein are the accompanying undesirables (cholesterol and saturated fat) and the inconvenience of trying to store and prepare them when out-and-about. Thanks to advances in egg processing, both of these limitations can be easily overcome. Using specialized equipment and sophisticated processing techniques, the cholesterol-laden egg yolk can be separated from the virtually fat and cholesterol-free egg white to yield a product that is nearly all protein. The liquid egg white protein is then spray-dried with an Instantizing agent to improve mixability and eliminate the need for refrigeration. The result is a protein powerhouse; ONS 100-percent Egg Protein. A single serving of ON's 100-percent Egg Protein provides the protein equivalent of seven egg whites (22 grams) and takes under 30 seconds to prepare. ON's 100-percent Egg Protein contains only 100 calories, 2-3 grams total carbohydrates, and no sugar. Artificially flavored. Serving scoop included. Notice: Use this product as a food supplement only. Do not use for weight reduction.  | GOLD STANDARD 100% EGG, Rich Chocolate | | |

| Nutritionists commonly refer to eggs as the "gold standard" for protein quality because they're very easily digested and contain generous amounts of all eight essential amino acids. Eggs are naturally free of lactose, so they're also much more "forgiving" to athletes who have trouble with dairy foods or milk-based protein powders. Optimum Nutrition's Gold Standard 100% Egg takes the benefits a step further by virtually eliminating the fat and cholesterol found in whole eggs. Each scoop of Gold Standard 100% Egg packs as much protein as seven egg whites and only 2 grams of carbs. By also making this formula instantized to mix easily, Optimum Nutrition may have elevated the egg to a higher status.
