Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder, Banana Cream, 900g, 30 servings, Package May Vary

This is my third purchase of the product. I've been using this protein for several months and am very happy with it. It is a good quality protein which provides a higher than average amount of protein per serving whilst being low in fat and sugar, something that is important to people with diabetes, like me. Since March I've been on a high protein, calorie controlled diet and have lost almost 3 stones, and this product helped me a lot, though this is NOT a weight loss product. It is a product that makes it much easier for me to achieve my daily protein goals, amongst other things. It has no particular smell and mixes well with water; there is no lumpiness or powdery taste, though the consistency is bit too watery and thus, to me, it tastes a bit bland. I assume that with milk, it would taste creamier, but I never tried it. Since I am on this diet and in order to ensure I consume the nutrients that I need, I add frozen spinach, carrots, fresh fruits and some nuts and seeds to my shake. It tastes much better than on its own. I split it in half and consume it for breakfast and in the evening. On occasion, when I know that I will go swimming, I also add creatine and it is amazing how easier my swim and post swim recovery are when I consume this shake. I have used different protein shakes in the past, but this one is by far the best I tried, in terms of effectiveness and how it makes me feel, it is a good value for money and I intend to stick with it.

I’ve been using the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder for a couple of months now, and it has become a cornerstone of my fitness routine. I usually mix it with water or almond milk right after workouts, and it blends effortlessly without leaving any clumps, which is a huge plus compared to some other protein powders I’ve tried. The chocolate flavour I chose is rich and satisfying, not overly sweet, and it doesn’t leave a weird aftertaste, which makes it easy to drink every day. What really stands out is how my recovery has improved since starting it. My muscles feel less sore the next day, and I feel like I’m able to push a little harder during training sessions without overdoing it. I’ve also noticed that my gains in muscle definition are more consistent, which I attribute to having a reliable source of high-quality protein right after workouts. The packaging is sturdy and reseals well, keeping the powder fresh for a long time. The only thing to note is that if you’re lactose sensitive, it can be a little rich on the stomach, but for me it’s been fine. Overall, this protein powder is top-notch, mixes perfectly, tastes great, and genuinely supports muscle recovery and growth, making it worth every penny.

I’ve been using this protein daily for months, and it mixes well with water, milk, or even overnight oats. The chocolate flavour is delicious, and I like that it includes extra elements like amino acids. The seal ensures freshness and peace of mind that it hasn’t been tampered with. The only minor frustration is sometimes retrieving the scoop, as it can get buried. Overall, this is a much better option than other brands we’ve tried; great taste, quality, and lasting results. Highly recommended for anyone needing a quick protein boost. This is a smaller size than we normally get but is good value for money for the price. I like that there's no added sugar with the calories almost all coming from the protein.

Item has a great taste and dissolves quite well, only problem is that its not fully filled to the brim and alot is left out, however the quality is good and its easy to mix

Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5 - The Platonic Ideal of a Shake) Look. Let's not romanticise this. This is not a bespoke elixir hand-mixed by Swiss nutritionists on a mountain. This is the London Underground of protein powders: it’s ubiquitous, slightly gritty if you think about it too much, and it gets an astonishing number of people where they need to go, efficiently and without fanfare. The tub arrives with the reassuring thud of a canonical text. The foil seal parts with a crinkled sigh of purity. The powder itself is a fine, almost penitent dust—the colour of a faded academic robe. Mixing it is a brief, vigorous sacrament that results in a liquid with the texture of a very serious chocolate milkshake that has taken a vow of utility. The taste? It is precisely and honestly 'Extreme Milk Chocolate.' It tastes like chocolate's reliable, slightly dull cousin who works in logistics and always has your back. It is not an experience; it is a transaction. You give it water and a shake, it gives your muscles the alibi they need to recover from the crime scene you made of the gym. It works. It works like a spanner works. It is the fundamental, unsexy tool in the box. Five stars. My muscles have no opinion on terroir or mouthfeel, but they are deeply, structurally grateful. The whey, the truth, and the life.

Best tasting whey protein I have tried. Especially the unflavoured one works well in sweet and savoury foods.

I personally don't enjoy the taste - it has some bitterness to it.

Lo recomiendo, buena proteína, su sabor de galleta me gustó, y no sentí afectos malos de la proteína para ser mi primera vez.

Já é a 3ª vez que compro essa proteína para a minha mãe, ela adora. Ótima qualidade.
