After using theOptimum Health Ultimate Whey Protein strawberry in the resealable plastic bag which tastes great i decided to buy my next bag. Unfortunatly could not get my password to work on line so ordered over the phone. Not honestly sure who made the change (me or ds )but have ended up with whey protien in a tub. Pleased with better container so opened up to be greeted with a yellow powder not pink. Made one up and sure it goes pink, but dosent taste as good as bagged version and is leaving a bitter after taste as i,m typing. Would not recommend this over the bagged version.

I first tried the Optimum Health Ultimate Whey Protein in the resealable plastic bag (strawberry) and decided a screw top tub would be a better bet and I also thought the Bag version was a bit too sweet for my taste. I expected the Original Whey protein flavour to be the same but it isn't. At first I thought I had received Banana flavour by mistake, as that's what it smelled of in the tub. I was wrong again. When mixed it tastes of Strawberry. The Original is not as sweet as the new bagged version but neither is the strawberry flavour. It is a bit weak. Also there is more of a bitter after-taste, which isn't pleasant. When mixed it tends to remain runny whereas the bagged product thickens up more like a McD's thickshake, especially if whisked. The original is definitely not as nice as the new version and unless it is pleasant to drink some people may find they use it less and less. I bought it to stave off hunger pangs and maintain protein intake whilst on a weight loss diet. It works ok on that front though I occasionally had double scoops of the new bagged version. It could be argued that using less of the product on a daily basis is a good thing but if one had to choose between a nice protein drink and a sweet treat I would tend to go for the drink. With the Original UWP drink I would probably choose the sweet treat, which isn't good for the diet. When it runs out I'm sticking with the new bagged version and will just reuse the Tub, which is the best thing about the product.
