  • What Flavor to Buy
Flavor Name: Double Rich Chocolate Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)
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! ... show more

  • Really great taste! Minimal artificial sugar aftertaste!
Flavor Name: Extreme Milk Chocolate Size: 2 Pound (Pack of 1)
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! ... show more

  • Good protein overall, but you’ve gotta find the flavor that works for you.
Flavor Name: Vanilla Size: 2 Pound (Pack of 1)
One of my favorite protein brands - though it really depends on the flavor: Vanilla ice cream and chocolate are amazing. Strawberry + banana is also good, but for some reason, it didn’t blend well - I kept getting these annoying clumps (and I use both a shaker and a blender). The plain vanilla one is somehow more expensive, but honestly, the flavor just doesn’t hit. Even when I mixed it with milk, it lacked richness. I think that’s because I’ve spoiled myself with all the sweet flavors, so I won’t knock off points for that. But the Cinnabon one? Absolutely disgusting for me. The smell alone made me gag - thankfully, I only bought a small tub of it. What this brand really needs is a sample box with different flavors. I know you can order some samples on their website, but not all of them are available - and the ones I actually want to try only come in big containers, so I don’t want to risk it. ... show more

  • My favorite protein
Flavor Name: Vanilla Ice Cream Size: 2 Pound (Pack of 1)
A highly recommended brand. This is my go-to protein. I use it for shakes with water, almond milk, or add to smoothies. I have also used it for baked goods such as protein muffins or microwave mug cakes. The flavor is incredible and it goes with everything. It dissolves pretty well overall and has a nice texture that you don’t really notice. I use it mostly in the morning to start my day. It keeps you full longer - when I skip this I notice because I’m hungry! I’ve been able to keep a lean body because of a high protein intake and that’s hard to do without supplements so this makes a big difference. ... show more

  • Recommended, though lacking in flavor.
Flavor Name: Double Rich Chocolate Size: 1 Pound (Pack of 1)
Bought my first pound of this after having tried two other brands. Pros: 1) Animal-based protein source (whey, from milk products) According to Consumer Reports reviews animal based protein powders in general, and this in particular have lower levels of lead and cadmium - metals that plants take up and that get into a number of plant protein based powders, but that are not good for you. 2) Mixes well with milk or water as directed and is smooth and creamy. 3) No gritty, hard to clean residue left on glassware, mixing cup or blender, unlike other brands. 4) No nasty "artificial flavor" taste or after taste for me. Cons: 1) Very bland, almost flavorless despite claiming to be "double rich chocolate" (I haven't tried other flavors). Bragging about the "rich chocolate" is definitely misleading. 2) A bit pricier than some competitors. Conclusion: A good product, but I'll keep trying to add some chocolate (or other) flavoring even if I have to accept some sugar and calories. ... show more
