As an over 70 year old woman, the extra protein is essential to my well-being. And the fact that it has chocolate makes it perfect.

Verified Buyer

Reformulated :(

This used to be my favorite protein powder. After it was reformulated? Absolutely disgusting. It has more "chocolate crumbles" or something as the color is now much darker. The flavor now is artificial sweetener and sadness. If you usually purchase the bulk tubs, make sure you purchase a small container to try first. Will never purchase this one again.

Verified Buyer

Favorite flavour

Tastes great mixes well into a creamy high protein breakfast. I switch it up using either 1/2 banana & 1/4 avocado (chocolate banana) or mocha or peanut butter so I don't get bored

Verified Buyer

Cookies and cream tastes bad

I wrote this review many months ago. Im not sure why they didnt post it. They changed the formula for cookies and cream. New is awful.

Verified Buyer

I don't want to drink desert

Idk what they did but they changed the formula for these. The new flavoring is way too sweet and makes me throw up.

Verified Buyer

Should have done more research

This is my own fault, I should have read the description more thoroughly instead of assuming since it was GNC that it was the same as my old GNC protein powder. Definitely can't use this as my system can't handle dairy.

Verified Buyer

Super Protein

Great protein. Great quality.

Verified Buyer

Unflavored

Straight forward protein without unnecessary additives. Know that the powder clumps in cold water.

Verified Buyer

Great taste

Verified Buyer

Vanilla Tastes Horrible

Got the vanilla cream. This has a horrible aftertaste. I'm really disappointed. It's so bad I almost am debating on dumping it all, but I bought two jumbo tubs.. ugh

Verified Buyer

good protein

I had a problem getting it to mix in my shaker bottle. I bought a bullet blender and it mixes perfectly and is a tasty morning protein mix that is easy to drink and fulfilling for breakfast.

Verified Buyer

100% whey vanilla

Tastes great, mixes well with h2o and milk. Need to do something with the scoop its always buried.

Verified Buyer

Only got one of 2

Verified Buyer

Now it tastes weird

I've been using this product for years and loved it! But they must have changed the formula because it does not taste the same. I do not care for it anymore and I'm considering switching to a different product.

Verified Buyer

great service !!

Verified Buyer

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

I used to sip and savor my Creamy Strawberry Whey. With Whey 2.0, I chug so I don't have to taste it.

Verified Buyer

OK

I don't care for this one very much. Very bland taste and don't like the chunks.

Verified Buyer

Great Taste!

Great taste and easy way to get in the protein! I like to add in either peanut butter powder, peppermint extract or coffee to change it up.

Verified Buyer

Cookies & Cream flavor has changed

Recieved my order quickly and in perfect condition. The Cookies and Cream flavor used to be light colored and tasted of an oreo type cookie, but this batch was considerably darker cocoa colored and had a much heavier chocolate taste. Not sure if they changed the flavor recipe or I received chocolate with the wrong label.

Verified Buyer

Terrible taste

Tastes terrible now. I really enjoyed the previous chocolate flavor of this product, I'm no sure what exactly has changed ingredient wise but now it tastes horrible. It's a shame too after trying different flavors of protein over the years and different brands I always felt like chocolate was the safe bet. I guess not.

Verified Buyer

Yuck

Unflavored doesn't mean no taste in this case. Affected every item I tried it in. Nasty flovor.

Verified Buyer

Awesome taste, awesome amount u get and awesome gains !!

Verified Buyer

Can't beat it

Verified Buyer

Just did not care for taste . Nothing wrong with it

Verified Buyer

Not satisfied

Its not the same as we used to get previously. I find it very sweet.Since they were charging shipping i had to order big container and now I am stuck with it.

Verified Buyer

Very clean protein

I love this protein because it's super clean and feels light on the body. It's easily absorbed and doesn't leave you feeling heavy.

Verified Buyer

The best protein on the market

Fantastic product

Verified Buyer

Would avoid

Original chocolate supreme was far better. The current taste is much more synthetic I feel, and I'm not sure why they opted to change a good product. I cannot recommend this further unfortunately

Verified Buyer

Great stuff !!!!

Very good!!! Will be buying again

Verified Buyer

Not as good as the original

100% Whey 2.0 is NOT as good as the original 100% Whey!

Verified Buyer

Love the product. Love the BOGO offer. Hate that GNC raised the price. Hate even more, that even though they raised the price, they made the containers smaller, effectively an additional price increase.

Verified Buyer

One of the best out there, if not the best

Delicious, mixes perfectly, practically a smoothie with the right ingredients

Verified Buyer

Even more delicious than the previous cookies and cream. Highly recommend!

Verified Buyer

Give it a try!

Great protein. No stomach issues with this protein. Taste is great. You can't go wrong with this protein. Gnc pro performance protein is the best.

Verified Buyer

Like the taste and for my body.perfect shakeTanks

Verified Buyer

Love it.

this protein powder is so delicious! i placed the order online. was ready in less than 2 hours.

Verified Buyer

Good stuff

I like the taste. I use it in smoothies and add it to steel cut oats.

Verified Buyer

They changed the ingredients

Tastes terrible now (September 2025). New fake chemical/sand flavor. Used to be good and creamy. My annual purchase of this is ended. Most of the star reviews are from before the ingredients changed.

Verified Buyer

Excellent product-wish it came in the larger size.

Verified Buyer

Great

Taste,consistency "thickness ",fillingness, protein quality, etc.are all excellent. Not to say it's the best product available; but that withheld, inclusive of 50%,2nd bucket, I find it to be the best value on the market. Especially bought online.Great service!

Verified Buyer

I like the taste & since it is hard to get enough protein from meals I need a supplement for the protein.

Verified Buyer

Whey protein powder

Amazing product

Verified Buyer

Has a more bland taste than bio x

Verified Buyer

On line was quick and easy. The protein powder taste great even in just water.

Verified Buyer

Great Product

I like how quickly it was delivered. I am elderly and unable to get around well so its easier to have it delivered to m.. I love the taste ..I was hoping for a bogo but unfortunately that was not available this time

Verified Buyer

Taste

I really like the original Chocolate Supreme

Verified Buyer

Tastes great!

I bought another brand and it was very chalky. This one I bought vanilla flavor, I mix it with chocolate almond milk and 4 or 5 ice cubes and it tastes like a chocolate milk shake.

Verified Buyer

Taste and mix bad.

I bought two 4lb tubs of Chocolate Supreme as part of a promotion. Pro: It was cheap. Cons: The taste is pretty bad. I have to force myself to swallow it. I've tried mixing it with water, oat milk, and regular milk, but it's still bad. It's also hard to mix. I'd recommend checking out other protein powder or flavor.

Verified Buyer

Great taste and helps in recovery after exercise.

Verified Buyer

Excellent whey protein

Excellent whey protein. Nice taste with no aftertaste. Easy to mix. Very competitive price.

Verified Buyer

Easy Mix

Good tasting and does mix easily. I typically mix it with Almond Milk.

Verified Buyer

Not the best

Found myself having to gulp my shake down as fast as I could when adding this to anything. Has a weird taste and even odder smell, personally don't recommend the unflavored variety.

Verified Buyer

I will try different flavors in the very near future.

The products are great and delicious. ??

Verified Buyer

Tastes great!

Tastes great! Must drink with milk

Verified Buyer

Very good flavor, simple and not grainy. For someone who doesn't like chocolate, this is an amazing alternative. I even add it to plain water on occasion without issues or difficulty.

Verified Buyer

A lot of info it's great try it especially on sale

I just received 8 lbs a week an ago and honestly it's tasty! I mix the chocolate w 1% milk (or almond) frozen banana and scoop pb2 (2 tbsp). Also it is very filling but had it only w milk so far fyi. W other drinks almond usually holds up roughly just a little less than milk imo. Lastly I'm using it as a total meal w milk if it's just for added protein in between I'd most likely just do almond and the mix only nothing else. lol not sure if my life story was necessary but point is it's good and buy 1 get 1 1/2 off was a steal and then minus 30 of any over 130 was nuts great sale!

Verified Buyer

Good taste

Verified Buyer

Taste good and easy on the stomach. Highly recommended.

Verified Buyer

The only complaint I have is it doesn't mix that well

Verified Buyer

Coffee not Cookies

Taste like coffee not cookies

My favorite protein powder

I loved the older whey protein powder. you should have left the formal alone.

Verified Buyer

Better than expected!

Better than any flavored one I've tried!

Verified Buyer

Good product!

Delicious!! And definitely does the job but it does seem sweeter but maybe it's just me

Verified Buyer

Sodium content is higher than original. Not pleased as I'm on a sodium restricted diet. I would prefer original version

Verified Buyer

protein drink

I like that this is not a huge package as i like to try products first

Verified Buyer

very good and arrived on time

Verified Buyer

The taste and texture is not what I expected

Verified Buyer

Great value when you can get on sale

Is great and tastes well

Verified Buyer

New formula is NOT better!

For years, this was my protein supplement of choice, particularly the Chocolate Supreme. When mixed quite thick, it tasted just like chocolate pudding. But this is no more. The new 2.0 version is an overly sweet flavor that I cannot quite pinpoint, but it certainly does not taste like chocolate. The Vanilla Cream flavor has a similar overly sweet flavor, but at least it has some vanilla coming through. In both cases, the new formula does not mix as well with water as the original. Please

Verified Buyer

New formula is great

Verified Buyer

New formula tastes great ??
