Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey: The Ultimate Protein Powerhouse!
Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder in Extreme Milk Chocolate has been my go-to protein for over 10 years, and for good reason! This protein powder consistently delivers exceptional quality and results, making it an essential part of my daily routine.
The Extreme Milk Chocolate flavor is rich and indulgent, making it feel more like a treat than a supplement. I love mixing it with water for a quick post-workout shake, or blending it with almond milk and a banana for a more filling smoothie. It mixes effortlessly without clumping, which is a huge plus for meâno one wants to deal with chalky shakes!
What really sets this protein apart is the high-quality ingredients. Each serving provides 24 grams of protein, sourced from whey protein isolate and concentrate, which helps support muscle recovery and growth. The added BCAAs are a great bonus, further enhancing the muscle recovery process after intense workouts.
Iâve tried various protein powders over the years, but none have come close to the value offered by Optimum Nutrition. The quality-to-price ratio is unmatched, making it accessible for anyone serious about their fitness goals. The 5-pound tub lasts a long time, making it a cost-effective choice for daily supplementation.
In addition to its effectiveness, I appreciate that this protein powder is low in sugar and fat, which aligns perfectly with my nutritional goals. Itâs also incredibly versatileâIâve used it in baking recipes, like protein pancakes and energy bars, without compromising the taste or texture.
If youâre looking for a reliable, delicious, and effective protein supplement that stands the test of time, I canât recommend Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey enough. Itâs not just a product; itâs a staple in my fitness journey, and Iâm confident it will be for you too!

Itâs smooth, satisfying, and helps me meet my protein goals. If you’re looking for a protein powder that tastes great and delivers results, this is the one to get!

Incredible Taste
Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein Powder in Vanilla Ice Cream flavor is hands down the best protein supplement I’ve ever tried! The taste is absolutely delicious â not too sweet, and it mixes perfectly with water or milk without any clumps. I’ve seen noticeable improvements in muscle recovery and overall performance since incorporating it into my routine. The 5-pound container lasts a long time and provides excellent value for the quality you’re getting. Plus, it’s easy on the stomach and doesn’t leave that chalky aftertaste you get with some other protein powders. Highly recommend for anyone looking to up their protein intake!

What Flavor to Buy
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!

Sabe muy rica, y si es totalmente original, recomiendo solo comprarla cuando es
Vendida y enviada por Amazon, pues es muy fácil de falsificar
