    • Best whey out there—tastes great and mixes perfectly!
Flavor Name: Double Rich Chocolate Size: 1 Pound (Pack of 1)
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! ... show more

    • Great protein powder - Delicious flavors
Flavor Name: Extreme Milk Chocolate Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)
Review Image by Rick Rick
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. 👍🏼👍🏼 ... show more

    • Sweet!
Flavor Name: Delicious Strawberry Size: 2 Pound (Pack of 1)
The protein powder mixes well and tastes better than I expected. It’s smooth with no clumps, whether mixed with water or milk. I use it after workouts and it’s easy on my stomach with no discomfort. Overall, it’s a solid protein option for daily use and good value for the price.

    • 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

    • Not all flavors mix smoothly
Flavor Name: Banana Cream Size: 2 Pound (Pack of 1)
So far I've tried the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Banana Cream, Extreme Milk Chocolate, and Double Rich Chocolate. Flavor wise, the chocolate flavors are both very good and mix well enough, even with a spoon. They differ in the level of sweetness with the Milk Chocolate being a little more sweet and the Double Rich Chocolate a little more subtle. The Banana Cream is just OK. Not bad but I guess I was expecting a little stronger banana flavor. HOWEVER, the Banana Cream does not mix very well, even when I use a small handheld mixer. The only way to totally get rid of any clumps is to use a legit blender. I'm not sure if all Banana Cream is this way or if I just got an off batch. I mostly mix the banana with one of the chocolates and that comes out delicious. ... show more

I’d recommend this protein to anyone who works out regularly, needs a reliable post-workout shake, or is looking for a high-quality whey protein.
