Decent protein content and effective.

s someone who has tried a variety of protein powders over the years, I keep coming back to Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey, and for good reason. This product consistently delivers on quality, taste, and performance, making it a staple in my fitness routine.The Double Rich Chocolate flavour is smooth and enjoyable, without the artificial or overly sweet aftertaste that some protein powders have. It mixes effortlessly with water or milk, creating a creamy texture without any clumps, which is a huge plus when you’re in a rush or don’t want to deal with a blender.From a nutritional standpoint, each serving provides 24 grams of high-quality whey protein, along with naturally occurring glutamine and amino acids that aid muscle recovery. This makes it an excellent post-workout choice, helping to reduce muscle soreness and support lean muscle growth. The low sugar and fat content also make it a great option for those watching their macros.Another standout feature is its digestibility. I’ve had issues in the past with protein powders causing bloating or discomfort, but this one sits well with me, even when taken daily. It feels light yet filling, making it easy to incorporate into my routine without any negative side effects.In terms of value, the 899g tub with 29 servings is reasonably priced for the quality you’re getting. While there are cheaper alternatives on the market, few match the consistency and effectiveness of this product.Overall, Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein in Double Rich Chocolate is a fantastic choice for anyone serious about their fitness goals. It tastes great, mixes easily, and delivers solid nutritional benefits, making it a reliable go-to for muscle recovery and overall performance.

4.0 out of 5 stars phenomenal in a smoothie, adequate in water

R. · 28 May 2025

Optimum Nutrition’s Gold Standard Whey has become my go-to base for a banana-milk-and-peanut-butter breakfast shake—it blends thick and creamy with fruit and nut butter, and the vanilla flavour doesn’t fight the other ingredients. On pure nutritional value (24 g protein, low sugar) it’s hard to fault.Where it slips is mixability in plain water. Even with a proper shaker ball I end up chasing tiny clumps around the bottle; they eventually dissolve, but not before leaving a few chalky sips. In milk or smoothies the problem vanishes, so it’s clearly more at home in thicker liquids. Digestion is gentle—no heavy bloat or sugar crash an hour later—and the tub’s scoop-holder is still the most practical in the business.Bottom line: phenomenal in a smoothie, adequate in water. If you’re planning to shake and run, prepare for some extra swirling; if you’re a blender person, it’s still the gold standard for a reason.

Optimum nutrition may I need say more?As always top quality product and well worth the money.Very good consistency and thickness in a shaker but will avoid the blender as makes the shake frothy.Sugar content is very low but still tastes sweet enough without adding any more, very filling without being bloated as other shakes will giveThe protein content is fantastic for the price also!

V.p. · 21 March 2025

Firstly it mixes very well, 30secs in a shaker. Leaves no lumps and has a smooth consistency.Taste - No powdery aftertaste, just very sweet though. It is kind of like a hot chocolate with sugar . So less chocolatey than I expected. I mix with water so maybe milk would give it a more smoother finish.Nutritional content is good for one scoop. Well for my needs. 24g of protein helps me get my goal for the day.Easy to use scoop included, even though I had to dig for it.Size and price make it good value for money.I will definitely buy this brand again, but maybe look at different flavours.

Excelente proteína, buen sabor el de cookies.

Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard - One of the Best Whey Protein Blends

A.P... · 7 March 2016

--------------------------------------UPDATE 11 March 2016---------------------------------------I keep an eye on my reviews but lately, I have seen this happening often . I get a few votes up for a review and then quite strangely a down vote the same day, that really has left me wondering if some people are deliberately down voting reviews.I don't understand how Bolo moderators are letting this off.---------------------------------------------I am compelled to write this review after seeing quite a few negative reviews calling it a fake or counterfeit which I find it quite misleading once again. I bought the 1lb pack to check the concerns raised that the packaging is mislabeled with a 23gram protein scoop. To all the concerned people, there is in fact 1lb Gold Standard refill pack with 24g protein per scoop. (Photos attached)Optimum Nutrition (ON) 100% Whey Gold Standard - 2 lbs (Double Rich Chocolate) is one of the best Whey proteins in the market today. Three things I liked about this product, the manufacturing is entirely done in the USA following strict US regulations, the grams of protein in each scoop and the taste.If you’re new to Protein Supplements, this is a quick overview of few major protein types that are sold in the market today.Most protein supplements that are in the market offer blends of different types of whey proteins. To make it easy, let me break it down for you. There are three types of fast digestive proteins, the cheapest is the Whey Concentrate typically a mass gainer with lots of carbs , then comes the more expensive Whey Isolate and then the most expensive Whey Hydro Isolate .Concentrate typically takes about 2-3 hours to digest, Isolates can be digested in your system within 2 hours, Hydro Isolates is purest form whey and can be taken even if you’re lactose intolerant - Hydro isolates can be digested within an hour and work best as Post Workout drinks. Basically, the price of your protein directly depends on the % of Whey Isolate or Whey Hydro Isolate present. There is also a slow digestive protein called Casein which is cheaper or almost the same as Whey Concentrate, treat this as a bedtime supplement as it takes about 6 hours to digest.What is OPTIMUM NUTRITION- 100% Whey Gold Standard ?ON 100% Whey Gold Standard is a multi-whey blend comprising isolates & concentrates as its main ingredients. It contains 24 grams of protein per serving, with a bit of fat, cholesterol, and lactose. Bear in mind, if you’re lactose intolerant, this is not for you unfortunately.Taste, Texture and MixabilityIt is not very sweet and mixes well with water and milk. I didn’t feel bloated and Double Chocolate flavour I’ve tried was good, and I will give8.5/10 for the taste9.5/10 for mixabilityTotal score 9/10When will I start seeing results?This is the bitter truth, Protein supplements would help you <20% to reach your fitness goals. Your everyday workout helps you about another 30% and the rest is your daily diet as to how you maintain yourself eating healthy. You’re not going to get fitter staying home and just having 3 protein smoothies a day.From somewhere I had once read, you don’t buy protein protein supplements till you are regular at the gym working out and eating healthy for at least 90 days. Once those two habits are accomplished, buy protein supplements, and you will see results.Are protein supplements necessary?This question is debatable but it all comes down to how much protein is in your everyday diet. If you’ve enough protein in your diet, no need obviously. From a personal perspective, I would avoid processed food like protein supplements any day, if I can consume enough protein through my diet (egg, milk, meat etc)Health Benefits/ IssuesIt is always advisable to take protein in their natural form (Milk, Egg, Meat, etc), but with a vegetarian diet that could be challenging. Rule of thumb with supplements is DO NOT go overboard - DO NOT take more than 2 scoops in 24 hours, but personally, if you’re not aiming for the Olympics, I suggest to start with 1 scoop a day so that you go easy on your body. In addition, you MUST drink a lot of water when taking protein supplements. From a lecture of Dr Tara Swart of MIT Sloan, your body requires 500ml of water for every 30lb (13.6 Kg) of your weight in a day to function normally.Smoothie recipe = 1 scoop (Chocolate) + 1 Avacado + Banana + 200ml Almond Milk + Ice Cubes in a Blender .PLEASE NOTE: Insufficient water intake can give you Stomach pain/ Abdominal Pain with protein supplements. NOT to be considered professional/medical advice. This review is based on personal experience. Protein supplements are to be considered with caution.
