Review: Best whey out there—tastes great and mixes perfectly! - This Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey is my go-to protein powder. It delivers a solid 24g of protein per scoop with great recovery support (those BCAAs help a ton post-workout). The flavor (Double Rich Chocolate or whatever yours is) is delicious—creamy and not overly artificial, mixes super smooth with just water or milk (no clumps or chalky taste even with a spoon shake). Low sugar, easy on the stomach, and the tub lasts forever with good servings. Affordable for the quality—I’ve tried others and always come back to this. Highly recommend for anyone building muscle or just boosting protein intake!
Review: Great protein powder - Delicious flavors - Delicious flavors and a really decent value for the cost. I was buying Kachava for a while and was fed up with the slow shipping speeds and cost to product ratio, Optimum Nutrition makes a really good product and was recently featured in a Consumer Reports article that showed it had extremely low levels of lead compared to other brands. I like when a company looks out for its customers and I’m happy I made the switch, this powder mixes well with other fresh ingredients like bananas and peanut butter. It doesn’t really get clumpy and I find that two scoops doesn’t make me feel ill like with other brands. I’m able to get a good amount of protein in one drink and I don’t get bloated. I bought Vanilla Ice Cream, Extreme Milk Chocolate and Cookies ‘N Cream…my least fave was the Cookies ‘N Cream, it’s just very sweet tasting. The other two flavors were phenomenal and taste like what they’re trying to imitate. I’ll keep buying this brand if they keep up this quality, you can’t really go wrong with the Vanilla Ice Cream or Extreme Milk Chocolate. Try it. 👍🏼👍🏼
