Customer Reviews of Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard, Double Rich Chocolate, 5 Pound
Customer Review: The best Whey Proetein you can buy dollar/pound
Summary: 5 Stars
Optimum Nutrition's products may often be overlooked by many due to its plain labeling, and a lack of crazy adjectives describing all the benefits you will get. But those who research supplements know that Optimum Nutrition makes only the highest quality products, and their whey protein really is the standard by which to judge all others. It is about as pure as you can get, and will easily and quickly be digested by your body post-workout. It tastes great to boot. This is NOT the protein I would recommend for overnight muscle building, as it is a quick digesting protein. For when resting it is recommended that you take a slow-digesting protein which will probably be a mix of soy, egg, and whey proteins. But for post-workout pure protein, without a lot cholesterol or extra unneeded calories, this is the BEST.Customer Review: Now I know what all the hype was about
Summary: 5 Stars
24 Grams of Protein in about 60 seconds flat. It doesn't get any easier than this. This is THE best-tasting protein whey I have tried. It tastes just like chocolate milk, only thicker. The powder mixes easily in my shaker bottle, even without the wire-whisk ball. I've noticed that some other protein shakes are gritty in texture, but the Optimum Nutrition stuff is smooth, with no hint of grit. I've tried it with water, 2% milk and Silk. The best flavor/consistency can be found by mixing one scoop with 7 ounces of Silk...excellent stuff!!
However, it should be noted that the "5-lb" container is not 5.15 lbs (77 servings) shown on Amazon or Lindberg. It's 5 lbs flat, which will net 74 servings. I opted for Double Rich Chocolate, so maybe there's a discrepancy that's dependent on flavoring.

Customer Review: Tropical Punch
Summary: 5 Stars
Overall, this protein is the best for price and quality. I wanted a flavor to mix with water since chocolate isn't too great although it is still consumable. I've read somewhere that tropical punch mixed with water tasted like kool-aid or real "tropical punch" so I ended up buying the 2 lb just in case it wasn't so good. Well, it definitely does NOT taste like tropical punch or kool aid...tastes more like a watered down strawberry shake, or let's say a very bland tropical punch. it is still drinkable but i don't enjoy it too much. i would rather have just stuck with double rich chocolate since it tastes amazing with milk and is drinkable with water. for this flavor, i won't be trying it with milk. I still give the powder itself 5 stars only because the flavor doesn't affect the performance.Customer Review: Very good protein, but a little too sweet for me.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the second tub of whey that I've bought from Optimum Nutrition. The first was the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Natural Whey, Chocolate, 5.13-Pound Tub. In the future I'll go back to buying the 100% Natural version because this one is just too sweet. The 100% Natural had just the right amount of sweetness but was not overwhelming. The first time I tried this one I almost gagged because it was so much sweeter. Now, this is coming from a person who thinks most of today's popular cereals are too sweet. It still tastes very good and packs the same amount of protein. Strictly as a protein I'd rate it a 5, but, with the 100% Natural tasting better, I'm only giving this version 4 stars.
