Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey, Double Rich Chocolate, 5.15-Pound Tub

The shipping is terrible. It kept me waiting for weeks. Whenever I called them, I was told that no information is available and I need to wait patiently.

It totally disrupted my work out plan.

I've been using EAS 100% Whey Protein 5 LBS Chocolate - Value Packs - Resealable Packaging for quite some time and was very happy with it -- I love the chocolate taste (even with water) and it mixes well. After reading the reviews here on Amazon though, I thought I'd give "Gold Standard from Optimum Nutrition" a try... however it tastes like a cheap artificial hot chocolate mix. I must recommend EAS first, but this brand is doable and mixes well, however my next order will be a bag from EAS!

This product is delicious and nutritious; I got the double chocolate flavor. I give it 16/16 boners.

My number one product was Designer whey protein and this is the first time I use the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey. The tast is ok if you drink it with water or milk only. I choosed the dark choclate flavor so it's not sweet at all. I used to enjoy the designer taste better. As far as the results, I don't see it yet because I'm not consuming it on a regular basis but my friends got big and cut using it. The level of protein is higher in it than other protein shakes and the price is reasonable. I would recommend it for others.

I was very pleased w/this particular protein drink. I cannot have lactose products and have difficulty finding a protein drink that doesn't upset the stomach. This one doesn't. The taste is good & it mixes better than many brands (We use a fork instead of spoon to mix!) I carefully scrutinized the ingredients, the nutritional value etc. and found this particular brand/type to be the best overall and the most tolerable on the stomach. The price was competitive, too. Good purchase...
