Review: The Crème de la Crème of Whey Protein – You Get What You Pay For - I’ve used a lot of protein powders in my day and, like most people, I’ve fallen for the gimmicks, fancy packaging, ridiculous flavours and big marketing claims. After trying plenty of them, I always seem to come back to Gold Standard Whey. For me, this really is the crème de la crème. You’re getting 24g of protein per serving for less than 120 calories, depending on the flavour, which is excellent if you’re trying to hit a high daily protein target while keeping calories under control during weight loss. You’re also getting 5.5g of naturally occurring BCAAs per serving, which is another nice addition. It mixes extremely well, tastes good without being ridiculously sweet, and most importantly it makes getting enough protein every day incredibly easy. When you’re training regularly but also trying to lose weight, having something that gives you 24g of protein for around 120 calories is hard to beat. My only real criticism is the price. It has steadily increased over the years and it definitely isn’t the cheapest protein powder on the market anymore. That said, you get what you pay for. I’ve experimented with cheaper brands plenty of times, but Gold Standard is the one I keep coming back to. Excellent quality, reliable macros and no unnecessary gimmicks. It has earned its reputation.
Review: Great taste, low calories, good price. BEST quality out there! - Effects on training: I ran out of whey powder before I bought this tub on desertcart. I have trained several periods in the last years with and without whey protein (replaced shakes with natural protein sources). I personally like the quick absorption of Optimum Nutrition Whey, the flexibility and creativity it adds to my day-to-day activities and the quality of the product. I have barely any other option to quickly get a protein amount while I am juggling my job, my workouts and my friends. I personally think this whey protein has good effects on my training. (I have gained about 10 lbs of muscle mass in the last 12 months of training - 4 day split). I run 2-3 times a week (approx. 30 minutes). TASTE: I have tried several brands before I discovered Optimum Nutrition. I prefer the Milk CHOCOLATE taste and it really does taste like chocolate. There are sweeteners in this whey but you can't really taste them. Mixing with WATER: Using a SMART SHAKER (tm) - mixes OK with water, there are no lumps and the process is quick. However the TASTE changes a bit if you are using the Milk CHOCOLATE with water only. If you have further questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Mixing with MILK (low-fat 0.3% milk): Using a SMART SHAKER - mixes really well, taste is excellent. No lumps or issues. If you shake it hard enough there will be a little bit of "foam" on top of your shake which is good. Mixing with fruit juice: I have tried MINUTE MAID Orange Juice - mixing was no problem but I personally didn't like the chocolate/orange taste (but I also don't like this combination in chocolate, others love it - just try it out!) Mixing/Combining with Quaker Oats (oatmeal/porridge): ON Double Rich Chocolate with oatmeal adds a great chocolate taste and makes the oatmeal more appealing. However, there is also a floury side taste (similar to mixing with water alone) which is the only downside. I can live with it. NEGATIVE / ADVERSE effects on body, skin or hair: None. Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey 4712 g Double Chocolate Protein Shake Powder monstersupplements also sent me a free shaker and a sample (PhD gain chocolate).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for chocolate lovers – My favourite protein!
*by W***S on 1 November 2024*

I have been using Gold Standard Whey for almost 10 years now, and the extreme milk chocolate flavour is definitely one of my favourites. It has a really good chocolate taste, kind of like chocolate milk and I’ve always found this brand trustworthy, so I’ve stuck with it. While it’s not my main protein these days, I still enjoy having it every once in a while. Each scoop has 120 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, 3 grams of carbs (1 gram fibre, 2 grams sugar), and 24 grams of protein. The macronutrient profile is solid, and it’s made up of a blend of proteins, including whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, and whey peptides. Mixing it up is easy, and it smells great as soon as you open it, a nice chocolate aroma without being too sweet or overpowering. It’s smooth and has a good texture, and I like the chocolate flavour intensity, it’s got just the right balance, not too strong or weak. I’d call it the Goldilocks of chocolate flavours, if you will. On a scale of 1 to 10 I’d give this flavour an 8.5 out of 10. If you’re looking for a tasty, reliable chocolate protein, I’d definitely recommend trying the extreme milk Chocolate flavour. Cheers, and happy mixing!
