Customer Review: taste great
Summary: 5 Stars
Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Natural Whey, Chocolate, 5.13-Pound Tub
This was my first purchase of a Whey Protein mix. I did some research prior to it and went with this one based on previous user reviews. This one taste great, but I don't really have another point of reference. Another PLUS is that it is natural (no artifical sweetners), which is very important to me and something we all should consider.
I have lost over 100 lbs. over the last year and started recently to hit the weights harder. With the increased weight training, I wanted to add more protein to my diet or at least be able to sustain an appropriate level. I don't eat a significant amount of meat products so I needed to supplement my protein intake somehow.
I have noticed a lot of lean muscle development. I can only ASSUME that the WHEY protein is helping. I try to eat a balanced diet and this product with its 24 grams of protein per serving is definitely helping me meet my protein consumption on a daily basis... and as I mentioned, it taste great (I blend it with ice and it comes out nice and thick).
Cheers.
Customer Review: Great Product, Tastes Great
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this Whey Protein! It really tastes great, I usually mix it with vanilla soy milk or 2% milk and it tastes great either way. I have been using this for a few weeks and have noticed my muscles getting harder and bigger (with light workouts) and am very happy with the results so far. I have been drinking between 1 and 2 shakes a day, usually 1. The great thing about this shake is I have it before bed sometimes (I work out a little before bed) and it fills that sweet craving a lot of people have before bed. Great thing too is that it has very low calorie and carb content compared to some shakes. As others have said, it does change the way your bowel movements smell (gives them a distinct smell) not a terrible one but a distinct one. I know this is kind of gross but I thought I would let people know. Another issue (that isn't that big of a deal) when I bought this it was ~50 bucks at GNC but now they are having a sale on these older flavors (I think rich double chocolate etc are the new ones, I bought Chocolate) for about the same price ~30$, I think it's some sale but its still a great price on amazon. I would highly recommend buying this and a shaker.Customer Review: Great product, im a college student, and i recommend this product to people who want to gain muscle!
Summary: 5 Stars
This whey protein optimizes muscle recovery so the next day you will not feel as sore. for my workout plan i take one serving of this after workouts, and i workout 3 times a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. So basically when i workout hard on monday, come wednesday i wont feel a thing, and will have a lot of energy to workout because well i guess my mindset to get big and beef up. oh and if your not planning to utilize this product as in workout and train hard, do not waste your money and buy this because it is not a miracle product, meaning you will not get muscles out of no where from taking this and doing nothing. all in all the product mixes great, no clumps, i mix it with 8-10oz milk and after i finish it, i pour in some water to get all my nutrition from the whey.
good luck to you all
PEACE.
BTW - a little warning i received my product from amazon with the inner seal under the cap OFF, but the outer safety protector plastic was still on so i knew it was safe and not tampered with. so rest to sure dont worry if your inner seal was off or loose, because the outer plastic ring protector covering the cap is secure.
Customer Review: The standard in quality and affordable protein
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using this product for nearly 10 years. Each serving contains:
1. 24 grams of protein
2. 5.5 grams of BCAAs
3. 4 grams Glutamine
4. 3 grams of sugar
5. 1.5 grams of fat
6. 130 total calories
There are 72 servings in a 5 lb bottle which dollar for dollar is a great value. There are no artificial sweetners, colors or preservatives - its all natural. Finding a product without aspartame is hard to do these days. This product is a true all natural protein supplement which also actually tastes great. I've only used chocolate all these years so I can't speak for any other of their flavors in their natural line. I mix one serving with a cup of vanilla soy milk and it tastes like dessert. The protein mixes fairly easily but I recommend a shaker bottle or blender for the smoothest shakes. This product digest easily. I workout regularly and use about 3/4 of a bottle per month so I signed up for automatic shipping and save even more. If you're looking for a natural, affordable and good tasting protein supplement I highly recommend you try this product. After 10 years, I'm still a loyal customer.
Customer Review: Best protein powder
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a woman and not a body builder, but I love this protein powder for a super quick breakfast or an evening snack. It gives you clean burning energy, so to speak, without the blood sugar crash of candy bars or other less than optimal snack products. It dissolves well with some vigorous shaking in any sealed container--I just use an ordinary bowl-shaped tupperware container.
It contains no fructose, and is barely sweetened with stevia extract. That's fine because I can add my own sources of sweetness in the form of organic soy milk that I buy in bulk from Costco. I had my family try it and they couldn't tell this apart from ordinary ovaltine or chocolate soy milk. Even if you're using water or milk, unless you're hyper vigilant about sugar intake, adding a bit of your own sweetener (I hate artificial sweeteners, I'd rather add raw, real sugar) would still bring your sugar intake far below most of those other "protein shake" products out in the market while still delivering a dose of high quality protein (whey is superior to all other sources of popularly available protein powders according to the sources I've researched).
