Does anyone use the Opti-blend protein powder?

[Curly19]

I am interested in the Opti-blend powder and was wondering if anyone uses this?

Would this be appropriate for Post Work out shakes?
And , I understand its sweetened with glucose, how does it taste?

I am thinking about ordering either the vanilla or the orange flavor, thoughts please?

Thank you!

Thank you. I forgot to ask, what is Taurine?
And , would you recommend orange or vanilla? ( is the orange really "orangy?" or does it taste like a creamsicle? Thanks again

I am not sure what flavor I would buy between the two. I guess the question is, what do you plan to mix it with?

Great link, thank you so much!

I normallly mix my post workout shakes with water, and a package of crystal lite flavoring. (strawberry, orange, grape, etc). I love orange flavors normally, but I have had a few protein powders that the orange didnt really taste like orange! But, I also had one that it tasted like a creamsicle, when mixed just with water.

I've been using Opti-Blend (Chocolate) for the past few weeks and I've liked it for the most part. In terms of taste I find that I need to add some sugar or honey in order to achieve the same level of sweetness as blend or isolate. Aside from that it is a pretty solid product and a great alternative to ON's Natural Whey.

The flavoring is my only concern. I really dont want to have to add any sugar to it. I am used to protein powders sweetened, but thought this may be a nice choice without artificial sweetners.

I am still leaning towards the orange flavor, and wonder how sweet the orange flavor is on its own? Has anyone else tried this flavor?
Thank you!

Just start with 4-6 oz of liquid till you find the desired taste.
