  • Best protein you'll ever have, from someone who has tried dozens. This is the best.
Flavor Name: Double Rich Chocolate Size: 2 Pound (Pack of 1)
Best protein powder I have ever had. Mixes great. Tastes amazing. No weird after taste. It has a very creamy, chocolately, natural taste. You'd never know it was protein powder. I add it in milk. Have tried dozens of others and always go back to this one. Texture is great. Dissolves very well. No stomach issues from it. Great size tub. ... show more

  • Great protein powder!
Flavor Name: Delicious Strawberry Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)
Great tasting protein. I use it in my morning shake with almond milk, strawberries, and bananas and it blends perfectly. The jar is huge which makes it a great value since I use it daily. Only downside is having to dig for the scoop and making a little mess when you first open it, but overall this is one of the best proteins I’ve tried. ... show more

  • Healthy
Flavor Name: Double Rich Chocolate Size: 2 Pound (Pack of 1)
I recently tried this protein powder, and I’m really impressed. It mixes smoothly with water or milk without leaving clumps, and the texture is light compared to some other brands. The flavor is enjoyable—not too sweet or artificial—and makes it easy to drink daily. I’ve noticed it keeps me full longer and gives me a good boost after workouts. Plus, it doesn’t upset my stomach, which is a big win. Overall, it’s a high-quality protein powder that supports recovery and fits well into my routine. ... 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 stuff, but….
Flavor Name: Vanilla Ice Cream Size: 1 Pound (Pack of 1)
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. ... show more

  • Great Taste
Flavor Name: French Vanilla Crème Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)
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. ... 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
