protein is not chemicals its just protein
Great protein! I’ve been using Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey for a couple of months and I’m very satisfied. The quality is excellent, and each serving has about 24g of protein — the recovery effect after workouts is noticeable. The packaging comes in different sizes, which makes it convenient and cost-effective. It mixes smoothly without clumps, the texture is nice, and the taste is natural and not overly sweet. For the price, it’s one of the best options — the balance of quality, taste, and effectiveness is absolutely worth it.

Really great taste! Minimal artificial sugar aftertaste!
Loved this protein powder! I work nights at a hospital and having a shaker bottle of this while I’m on shift has been quite filling and helpful while I’m working. I care a lot that my protein shakes don’t taste heavily of artificial sugar in the aftertaste because that tastes horrible to me and the Extreme Milk Chocolate flavor that I picked up has been really good tasting. It came in a really big bottle and I am hopeful it will last me a long time, I think with the flavor and the size it’s worth the amount I got it for.I am not deep in the weeds of nutrition or things like that, so I’ll let others speak more of it on those fields, but from my personal experience, it’s been helpful giving me energy and protein during long overtime during graveyard shifts since I can keep it in a shaker bottle to sip from whenever I have time rather than waiting for food on my lunch break and helping me keep up on protein while trying to grow and repair my leg muscles since I work on my feet all night.Would recommend!

Always a solid protein
Optimum nutrition always delivers. Tolerable taste and mixes well with milk or water. Doesn’t upset my stomach and produces solid results.

What Flavor to Buy
First off, I’ve purchased a bunch of different flavors of ON Gold Standard Whey. All of them have close to the same nutritional value, but they vary greatly in taste. Both my wife and I drink these protein shakes as part of our daily diet, and as a product, Optimum Nutrition is great. I’ve mixed with both milk and water, and all of the shakes mix well and don’t seem to clump. I’ve tried other manufactures whey, and I keep finding myself going back to ON for the price, nutritional value, and above all the taste.So the flavor question. As I mentioned, each flavor has a different characteristic from the others. Some are bland, some taste sweet, some taste overly fake. We loved some, and we hated some. Below is a list based on what we like so far and why. Bear in mind that I hate diet drinks for their bad aftertaste. The drinks don’t have to be sweet for me to like them, but I can’t stand the garbage aftertaste of fake sweeteners.The best flavors:Rocky Road – By far the single best tasting flavor. The downside is that it does taste a little sweet. The nutritional value is right on with the other flavors, but it is a bit sweet. I could drink this all day. If you only buy one flavor, this is it. There is no real aftertaste, and the flavor is great.Extreme Milk Chocolate – Another good flavor with almost no aftertaste. This one tastes like chocolate, and doesn’t have a fake taste to it. If you are looking at the chocolate flavors, this one is perfect.Natural Vanilla – This is a slightly different product, and it comes in a tub with yellow labeling instead of the red. It’s on Amazon for the same price, and it has the same nutritional values. They claim it has less artificial sweeteners in it, hence the natural label. In any case, this is the best vanilla out there. There is no aftertaste, and it tastes like vanilla milk. It is not as sweet as the others, but it the single best vanilla flavor I’ve found.The middle of the road flavors:Cookies and Cream – This one is both good and bad. If you like the creamy vanilla taste, you will like the flavor. It doesn’t have a bad aftertaste, but it is sort bland. It is sweet, but bland. Also, the cookie chunks in it don’t dissolve. This is the only flavor so far that has bits of stuff that you are swallowing when you drink it. It’s odd. That said, I have reordered it in the past.Chocolate Malt – It’s just OK. The flavor is a little odd because of the malt. Given the choice, just order the Extreme Milk Chocolate.Caramel Toffee Fudge – Again, just OK. They tried too hit to many flavors with this one, and it just turned out odd. Not a bad flavor, but don’t start out here. I got bored so I tried it. I doubt I’ll order it again.And the bad:Double Rich Chocolate – This flavor sucks. It tastes like fake chocolate. Not good fake chocolate, but generic fake chocolate. It has that bad aftertaste of fake sweetener, and is all around not good.Vanilla Ice Cream – Another swing and a miss. This flavor tastes like bad fake powdered milk. It has that bad aftertaste, and is probably the single worst flavor they have. If you are looking for vanilla, avoid this at all costs and get the Natural Vanilla.Tropical Punch – Another fake tasting flavor. When I got this, I could barely get through the first few shakes. Eventually it grew on me a little bit, and I was able to drink it without hating it. It tastes like strawberry milk with a bunch of fake sweetener. It’s just wrong, and is not something you want to drink after a workout.I know that taste varies from person to person, so take this with a grain of salt. I hate the taste of fake sweetener, so this list draws from that. I’ve taken to buying the 2lb tubs to try out a flavor, and then going with the 5lb tubs if I like it. It costs a bit more that way, but it means there is only 2lbs to choke down if you get a flavor that you hate.Enjoy!

Good stuff, but….
I started buying this product, after trying a few others, for my bedridden dad. His healthcare team said he could use some extra protein in his diet, and he won’t eat a lot of food, so I thought a whey protein would be perfect for him, and it is! I put a scoop in his coffee every morning and he LOVES it. It’s basically creamer and there are quite a few flavors. After trying multiple flavors, we have found Vanilla Ice Cream to be the best for our needs. It also breaks down easier in coffee. I tried to make a drink with cold water and it was really clumpy and not palatable. The price is good for the amount. A 24 servings lasts us a month. He has started healing faster, has more energy, and even though he is bedridden, his overall health has improved considerably after using this for a few months. If you were going to use this to build muscle, I think it would work, but you’d need to use a blender, and mix it with some warm water and maybe some ice after it’s broken down so it would be smooth by the time you got to the gym. That’s the only reason I give I 4 stars instead of 5.

Great Taste
I really like this protein powder and enjoy the flavor every time I use it. It mixes easily and works well in smoothies or just shaken up with water or milk. It’s become part of my regular routine and I feel good about using it.The only downside is the price. It’s gone up quite a bit, which I don’t love, but even with that, I still plan to keep buying it because the quality and taste make it worth it.If you’re looking for a protein powder that tastes good and does what it’s supposed to, this is a solid choice.

Optimum Nutrition Whey Isolate Protein Powder
Excellent quality and texture. Mixes easy enough in a shaker cup. This is not plant based protein and contains milk and soy lecithin. This flavor is pretty basic so you can mix it into oatmeal, Feral Supps Creamy Rice (since it’s whey isolate), orange juice, milk, or cold water. When i started lifting at the ripe age of 17, my bro told me this was the one and only protein powder to use, no questions asked. Fifteen years later, and this is still the top supplement in my daily routine. Two level scoops per day minimum along with a steady workout regimen will yield you some great results.
