Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Instantized Whey, Vanilla Ice Cream, 5.17-Pound Tub

As a competitive fitness model, I have tried nearly every whey protein on the shelves at the local GNC's and Vitamin Shoppes. I don't know what took me so long, but I finally got around to trying ON-Whey and I can't believe what I was missing.

This is the best general purpose whey protein for the price hands down. It is exceptionally high quality (considering the price) and consists mainly of whey protein isolate which tastes and mixes better than the cheaper whey protein concentrate powders. There are tons of excellent flavors, my personal favorites being: "Delicious Strawberry" and "Cookies and Cream".

Typically, I prepare one scoop of ON-Whey in a cup with about 8oz of cold water, stirred with a spoon. After 30 seconds of vigorous stirring, the powder is *completely* (and I do mean completely) dissolved. This protein does not clump!! It mixes equally well with 8oz of cold skim milk either with a spoon or a blender. I have also put it in a water bottle, added some water on the go and relied on shaking it (which again, leaves no clumps).

Delicious Strawberry stands out among the pack of flavors in two ways. First, it has 110 calories per serving while the other flavors have 120 calories. Second, it has half the carbohydrates (2 grams versus 4). For this reason, I was able to happily give up my Low Carb Isopure which is more expensive and doesn't taste nearly as good.

As of now, I have tried the following flavors and would rank them solely based on taste as follows:
1. Cookies and Cream
2. Delicious Strawberry
3. Strawberry Banana
4. Vanilla Ice Cream
5. Double Chocolate
6. Rocky Road

This protein is very high-quality. It tastes great - like Muscle Milk, but with much less fat and few carbs. Also, it is packed with BCAA's and glutamine. I highly recommend this product.

this is a pretty good thing if u are trying to get big or muscular. it doesnt have too many calories and it is easily digestable.

In bodybuilding you need to keep nutrition in your system constantly. I put three tablespoons into a mini 20oz Blender Bottle and fill with non-fat milk to go with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and sometimes when I just feel hungry. The stuff actually taste great, too!

I started lifting about 3 months ago and i decided to get this mix on a friends recommendation. I bought the Double Dark Chocolate and Vanilla Ice Cream. I wanted to share my favorite shake recipes. The chocolate can stand on its own with just some skim milk. I will usually do one of these recipes

Chocolate Banana
1. One Scoop of chocolate powder
2. Banana
3. 2 table spoons of plain non-fat yogurt
4. Skim Milk
5. Ice

Mocha!
1. One Scoop chocolate Powder
2. One spoonfull of instant espresso
3. 2 tablespoons of plain non-fat yogurt
4. Skim Milk
5. Ice

Tropical
1. One Scoop Vanilla powder
2. 4 or 5 froze strawberries
4. small handful of frozen mango
5. Skim Milk
6. 2 tablespoons of plain non-fat yogurt
7. Optional Banana or mix and match the strawberries and mango

I will have one of theee for breakfast(7:15am) and it's enough calories and energy to get me until 1pm for lunch!
