  • Excellent protein powder! Great quality & taste!
Flavor Name: Double Rich Chocolate Size: 2 Pound (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried several protein powders over the years, and Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey is easily one of my favorites. The Double Rich Chocolate flavor is smooth, rich, and not overly sweet or chalky like many others. It mixes easily with both water and milk without clumping, and the texture is creamy. Each serving provides 24g of protein, making it a great option after workouts or when I need a quick, high-protein snack. It keeps me feeling full, helps with muscle recovery, and doesn’t leave me feeling bloated. The quality, taste, and value make this a product I’ll continue to buy. If you’re looking for a reliable whey protein that actually tastes good and mixes well, I highly recommend giving this one a try! ... show more

  • My favorite flavor!
Flavor Name: Double Rich Chocolate Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried several flavors of this protein powder, and Double Rich Chocolate is by far my favorite. I wasn’t a fan of the Peanut Butter flavor because it was too sweet for my taste, but flavor is personal, so your experience may be different. The protein itself is excellent. It mixes easily, has a smooth texture, and tastes great in shakes. I’ve been using Optimum Nutrition for a long time, and the quality has always been consistent. If you’re not sure which flavor to choose, I highly recommend giving Double Rich Chocolate a try! ... show more

This whey protein powder has quickly become one of my favorites. The Double Rich Chocolate flavor is delicious without being overly sweet, and it mixes effortlessly with water or milk, leaving a smooth texture with no clumps. It’s perfect after workouts or as a convenient way to increase my daily protein intake. Each serving provides plenty of high-quality protein along with BCAAs to support recovery and muscle maintenance. I also appreciate that it’s gluten-free and tested for banned substances, which adds extra confidence in the product’s quality. If you’re looking for a reliable protein powder with excellent taste, easy mixing, and consistent performance, this is an outstanding choice. ... show more

  • 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

This mixes well, tastes good, and has become part of my daily routine after workouts. The texture is smooth, and it doesn’t leave a gritty taste like some other protein powders. I’d definitely buy it again.
