Customer Reviews of Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard, Double Rich Chocolate, 5 Pound
Customer Review: Protein is delicious!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first time purchasing protein for myself, being that I am on a diet, and I was not disappointed. I didn't know what flavor to purchase because they all seem so tasty (just by reading the name) so I decided to go with: extreme milk chocolate and my hubby took rocky road. I first tried with half 1% milk and half water and it tasted like cold "hot chocolate," which was not bad at all. I just prefer it warm. Now, I can drink it with water only and I even add oats and its delish! I even took a scoop of my hubby's and its great too! I am able to drink it cold and warm and adding oats makes it a great way breakfast. I am happy with my purchase and have a faster more healthier way of starting my day.
My hubby drinks protein on a regular. He has tasted them all! and for him to say this brand and flavor (rocky road) is good, means a lot!
Extreme milk chocolate: Great chocolate taste, mixes well with both water and milk (warm or cold), delicious, and filling. **if warming do not make too hot...mine got a little lumpy and when blending it, it turned foamy**
Rocky Road: Light chocolate taste, mixes well with water or milk (warm or cold), tastes great.
Customer Review: Whey Protein Video Review

Below is a transcript of my video review:
Hi--sorry, is this thing on---ok, here we go. Hi, I am reviewing Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard whey. This stuff is great. I have only been using it for a little over a year now and I'm bigger than I could have ever imagined, as you can see. Look at my shoulders! I don't even know what this muscle is, but I guess I need it.
In high school, I got picked on a lot--here is a picture of me in high school. I know, super dweeb, right? But now I shave my head, work out regularly and---hey, how did you get down here? This is my cat, Mr. Toodles. He's my spotter. Kidding, that's not safe. Ok, Shoo Shoo, buddy I'm doing a video review. Ow, you scratched me! Gonna need some neosporin for that.
Anyways, I think the battery is running out, so in conclusion, Optimum Nutrition Whey is the most--it gets you the biggest bang for your buck. And if anyone is wondering, yes I bought this shirt in the boys' section of Target--a little tip for you bodybuilding enthusiasts: "Buy Three sizes too small and you won't have to lift very much at all"
Customer Review: Great Value
Summary: 4 Stars
This has a good taste. If you are going to mix with a spoon, it is much easier in water ... although the taste is obviously watered down. Tastes better in milk, in my opinion, but it is also tougher to get the powder to completely dissolve when mixing by spoon. Of course if you're using a blender, you will not get any lumps no matter what you mix the powder in. I typically have a scoop before lifting in the morning. For breakfast afterwards, I've found that it tastes great mixed in with oatmeal, fruit, and nuts (the chocolate coloring of the powder makes this look like gruel, so if you like your food to be aesthetically pleasing, maybe this is not a good change of pace for you).
I've used this product for several years now to supplement my diet because I've always felt that it is relatively cheaper than other protein powders but without sacrificing too much in quality. I've consistently bought the chocolate flavor because it is typically the cheapest, for whatever reason. Occasionally I will buy a 1 or 2 pound bag of a different flavor just to keep my tastebuds interested.
Customer Review: Those who think this tastes good should try Syntrax Matrix 5.0 Perfect Chocolate
Summary: 2 Stars
I've been using Syntrax Matrix 5.0 Perfect Chocolate whey protein but because of the great reviews I figured I'd give Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Double Rich Chocolate a try. It smelled much better so I was really excited to try it. Boy, was I dissapointed! It tastes thin and not nearly as much like chocolate as the Syntrax product. It doesn't mix as well either. I now have 5 pounds of this that I use only for making homemade protein bars because it's basically not useable on its own. Seriously, try Syntrax Matrix 5.0 Perfect Chocolate, you'll LOVE it. Syntrax Matrix 5.0 Perfect Chocolate is so good, you can just mix it with water and it's great! Try mixing Optimum Nutrition with just water and try to hold back the gag. It's seriously that much of a difference. This is a classic case where smell doesn't translate to flavor at all. All of those people saying how good this stuff tastes should try Syntrax Matrix 5.0 Perfect Chocolate. Do a double-blind test, try both with just water, try mixing both, no contest.Customer Review: "DELICIOUS PROTEIN SHAKE FOR MY MUSCLES"
