Customer Reviews of Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard Natural Whey, Natural Chocolate, 5 Pound
Customer Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
This stuff is great. I use it after working out. I typically mix it with a banana, milk, and frequently strawberries and blueberries. The mixture tastes great. I'm a big fan of the chocolate variety. This stuff tastes great, the sweetener is perfectly safe, and it's not as ridiculously high calorie as some other protein powders.
Some have complained that it mixes poorly, but I've learned how to mix it well, and now I don't have any clumps building up. I use a magic bullet to blend my protein drinks, and this works well. Before I blend, I put a scoop of the powder in, shake it up by hand, and then blend it. After blending, I shake the cup again. This way, the powder is fully mixed in.
Customer Review: Best Whey Protein I think and many do as well
Summary: 5 Stars
I have taken this ON Whey Protein for a long time (3+ years) and the taste and feeling I get is great with this stuff. But with all these exercise supplements you need to put in hard work to get results so don't expect to just take loads and loads of protein and get muscles. I do think this product helped me get that strength quicker, I might have had to work twice as hard to get to where I am now without this whey protein.
Great value (price and quantity), great taste, and great quality protein, what else do you need? I also buy other products from Optimum Nutrition like their multi-vitamins, creatine, ZMA, etc and thought all of those were high quality as well.
Customer Review: still the best protein powder, but the flavor is different
Summary: 4 Stars
If you are looking for a product without artificial sweeteners, and not loaded with sugar, this is the product. I've used it off and on since it was first introduced. It always had an excellent taste and fulfilled the need for high protein, low carb, and easy on the wallet.
I would give 5 stars, except this bottle tastes a little different than all the other bottles I've had, like maybe they have switched up something, and it does not taste as good as before. But with every competitive product seeming to be loaded with artificial sweeteners or tons of carbs, an athlete looking for low carb protein without artificial sweeteners is probably limited to this.
Customer Review: Good tasting, effective, and affordable.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have found this protein powder to be actually quite good tasting. Mixed with some milk, and put through a blender, it is almost as tasty as regular chocolate milk. I have also drank it with water, and it is not bad tasting that way either, although milk enhances the taste very much.
I think it is best to use a blender to achieve the best results. No matter how much you mix it with a spoon, the powder will not blend with the milk as well as if you use a blender.
As for its effectiveness, I can vouch for it. It is a good source of protein.
I am on my second tub now, and I will continue buying more because it is just that good.
Customer Review: Very optimistic about this protein
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this protein as fulfilled by the Vitamin Shoppe here on Amazon and immediately made a shake with organic milk, a scoop of this protein powder and a frozen banana. The shake, after blending ultra-well with my Vitamix, was excellent, perhaps not as sweet as with other protein powder, but the fact that you're getting an all natural product makes it all the better. The container indicates if you want a more sweet taste to reduce the amount of liquid but with a full cup of milk and a frozen banana, I was 100% satisfied with the flavor. I'm excited to use this in my homemade protein bars now and some other foods I make with protein powder.
