Do the Math: Compare the Cost Per Serving to other protein powders and you'll realize the Gold Standard difference. It's easy to calculate. Just take the price of your protein product and divide it by the number of servings in the tub. That's how much protein you're getting for your dollar. Gold Standard 100% Whey provides ON's legendary quality with exceptional Cost Per Serving value.
Quality
Whey protein is popular with active adults because it contains all the necessary nutrients to promote muscle growth and also helps maintain the muscle you already have. Whey protein isolates are the purest form of whey and the primary ingredient in Gold Standard 100% Whey. Each serving provides 24 grams of whey protein with 1.5g fat, 55mg of cholesterol, minimal lactose and other stuff you can do without. There's no doubt this is the standard all other proteins are measured against.

Ratings & Reviews
The extreme milk chocolate flavor was okay at best. It was very very foamy which made it not taste the greatest. On the other hand the chocolate peanut butter was out of this world and I did not seem to have as much foam with it. Good product overall. Will not buy extreme chocolate again. Recommendation is to have more flavor options for 10lb bags.
Yo! Taking only optimum. Strarted exercise more less half year ago. Heres my taste review after fewof them. Best always chocolate. Double rich even more! Strawberry delicios too. But I love cinamon and thats why I just try that flavour. Not rly my cup of tea, If you cant resist go for it no end of the world but prefer chocolate or banana! :)
Mocha Cappuccino is easily my favorite flavor. The Peppermint Mocha and Chocolate Mint were a big swing and miss taste wise.
You can never go wrong with optimum nutrition! Chocolate pb- strong peanut butter flavor! I love peanut butter!!! Chocolate coconut- coconut flavor isnt as strong as I’d liked but it still tastes really good! Chocolate mint- I bought a 5lb tub, didn’t like it at first but after getting used to it it tasted good, think it was the mint flavor Strawberry banana- I like the chocolate protein powders better, tastes like the fake banana flavor Double rich chocolate- tastes like hot cocoa to me it’s good.
Love them both! Not a Strawberry fan as most health products using this flavor doesn't seem to cut it. However, this has AMAZING flavor so I ordered 10lbs more :-) The EC taste great as well, but I think I'm just Choc'd out at the moment. Blends instantly, no whey residue left at the bottom of my shakers.
The product is great. I like the amounts of protein per scoop and there’s plenty of amino acids. But I didn’t like the flavor peppermint mocha. A friend recommended chocolate peanut butter and that’s what I’ll get from now on.
NEVER ORDER THE STRAWBERRY!!! I ordered chocolate flavor and received the strawberry and didn't want to deal with the exchanging process so I opened the strawberry to try it out and now regretting life. This is the worst flavor ever and the production should be immediately stopped.
The product itself and doing what it is intended to do is fine. This is a great "go-to" protein that is cheap enough to take it once or twice a day to meet your protein and dietary needs. Whether in water or milk it mixes very easily, I never had an issue with clumps when using a shaker bottle. I never had an issue with bloating or protein gas either and I noticed I wasn't as sore for long when I used this stuff. With that said, taste wise this stuff is pretty rough with water. The flavors are fine if you drink it with milk. I could choke down chocolate malt in water, but my god cake batter has a horrible chemical taste in water that I can best describe as metal tasting. I still give the product great marks because it does what it's supposed to do and you can find Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard just about anywhere that sells supplements.
By far my favorite protein, mixes well and tastes great. I was lucky enough to discover this early in my lifting career and now it's the only protein supp I use
mixes well scoop was buried a bit too sweet overrated
I've been using Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Protein for the last 10 years. I usually stick to extreme milk chocolate or double chocolate or whatever their actual names are. After going through a few 10lb bags I really wanted to change it up because as most people who supplement with whey protein know, it can get stale and tedious to have to drink it day after day religiously. BUT this mocha cappuccino flavor is amazing! The first sip had me hooked. I mix it in cereal occasionally as well and it's just so delicious. I honestly excited to drink it post workout since the only thing I drink besides supplements is water. I'm not gonna comment on how well it works because smarter people than myself have already said it better. I was just so pleasantly surprised that I could enjoy drinking a protein shake without mixing it with fruit or anything else. I'll definitely be purchasing it again and I'm hoping they'll either start selling it in the 10lb bag, or if they already do then I'll be able to find it somewhere.
Gets the job dome for recovery. Notice how i wasnt acting like optimum nutrition is gonna sponsor me for my review.. bums.
Goes good with Iced Cafe Vanilla Amino Acids

Directions For Gold Standard 100% Whey:
SPOON STIRRED:Gold Standard 100% Whey™ is INSTANTIZED. That means if you forgot your shaker cup or don’t have time to get out the blender, you can just add one rounded scoop of Gold Standard 100% Whey™ to a glass filled with 180-240 ml (6-8 oz) of water or your favorite beverage. Then mix it up with a spoon. Stir for about 20 seconds or until powder is completely dissolved.
TIP: Adjust the intensity of your Gold Standard 100% Whey™ by varying the amount of liquid that you use to prepare it. For a bolder flavor with slightly more body and sweetness, mix each scoop with 4-6 oz of water, milk, or your favorite beverage. For a milder tasting, less sweet shake, use 8-10 oz of liquid per scoop.
SHAKER CUP: Bringing a shaker cup with you to the gym is the best way to get a powerful dose of protein immediately after your workout. Just pour in 6-8 oz of your preferred beverage and then add one rounded scoop of Gold Standard 100% Whey™ to your shaker cup. Cover and shake for 25-30 seconds.
BLENDER: Add one rounded scoop of Gold Standard 100% Whey™ to a blender filled with 6-8 oz of water, nonfat milk, or your favorite beverage. Blend for 20-30 seconds. Then add 1 or 2 ice cubes and blend for an additional 30 seconds
.SHAKE UP YOUR SHAKE: By adding fresh or frozen fruits, peanut butter, flaxseed oil, coconut and other high-energy ingredients, you can transform your shake into a delicious high-protein meal.
STACK YOUR SHAKE: You can make Gold Standard 100% Whey™ an even more powerful recovery product by adding supplements like creatine, glutamine, BCAA, and concentrated carbohydrate powders.
THINK OUTSIDE THE GLASS: Gold Standard 100% Whey™ can be used for more than just protein shakes. Try mixing a scoop into oatmeal, yogurt, or the milk that you pour over your morning breakfast cereal. Better yet, boost the protein content of muffins, cookies, brownies, etc. by adding a scoop or two to your baked goods recipes.
SUGGESTED USE: Consume approximately 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day through a combination of high protein foods and protein supplements. For even better results, consume your daily protein allotment over several small meals spread evenly throughout the day.
Warnings: Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. This product contains whey derived from dairy and lecithin (to improve mixability) derived from soybeans. For use as a food supplement only. Do not use for weight reduction. Those who are pregnant, nursing or taking medication are advised to consult a physician before use. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place.
