Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard
Whey Protein Isolates (WPI) are the purest form of whey protein that currently exists.* WPIs are costly to use, but rate among the best proteins that money can buy.* That's why they're the first ingredient you read on the Gold Standard 100% Whey label.* By using WPI as the primary ingredient along with premium ultra-filtered whey protein concentrate (WPC), we're able to pack 24 grams of protein into every serving to support your muscle building needs after training.* ON's attention to detail also extends to mixability.* This superior quality powder has been instantized to mix easily using a shaker cup or just a glass and spoon.* There's no doubt that this is the standard by which all other whey proteins are measured.*

Tips and Tricks:
- SPOON STIRRED: Gold Standard 100% Whey™ is INSTANTIZED. That means if you forgot your shaker cup or don’t have time to get out the blender, you can just add one rounded scoop of Gold Standard 100% Whey™ to a glass filled with 6-8 oz of water or your favorite beverage. Then mix it up with a spoon. Stir for about 20 seconds or until powder is completely dissolved.
- TIP: Adjust the intensity of your Gold Standard 100% Whey™ by varying the amount of liquid that you use to prepare it. For a bolder flavor with slightly more body and sweetness, mix each scoop with 4-6 oz of water, milk, or your favorite beverage. For a milder tasting, less sweet shake, use 8-10 oz of liquid per scoop.
- SHAKER: Bringing a shaker cup with you to the gym is the best way to get a powerful dose of protein immediately after your workout.* Just pour in 6-8 oz of your preferred beverage and then add one rounded scoop of Gold Standard 100% Whey™ to your shaker cup. Cover and shake for 25-30 seconds.
- BLENDER: Add one rounded scoop of Gold Standard 100% Whey™ to a blender filled with 6-8 oz of water, nonfat milk, or your favorite beverage. Blend for 20-30 seconds. Then add 1 or 2 ice cubes and blend for an additional 30 seconds.
- SHAKE UP YOUR SHAKE: By adding fresh or frozen fruits, peanut butter, flaxseed oil, coconut and other high-energy ingredients, you can transform your shake into a delicious high-protein meal.*
- STACK YOUR SHAKE: You can make Gold Standard 100% Whey™ an even more powerful recovery product by adding supplements like creatine, glutamine, BCAA, and concentrated carbohydrate powders.*
- THINK OUTSIDE THE GLASS: Gold Standard 100% Whey™ can be used for more than just protein shakes.* Try mixing a scoop into oatmeal, yogurt, or the milk that you pour over your morning breakfast cereal. Better yet, boost the protein content of muffins, cookies, brownies, etc. by adding a scoop or two to your baked goods recipes.*
SUGGESTED USE:
Consume approximately 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day through a combination of high protein foods and protein supplements. For even better results, consume your daily protein allotment over several small meals spread evenly throughout the day.*

Definitely in my top 5 for proteins. I tried the chocolate flavor and it tastes absolutely delightful. It has a hint of a coffee taste to it which is a nice change from the thicker milkshake style proteins.
Mix 10/10. Optimum is the best mixing proteins I have tried to date (I've tried a ridiculous amount). It mixes after a couple shakes in water and does very well with fruit blenders. I generally drink my shakes in water so a quality mixing product is key.
Taste 10/10. Optimum is one of those products you just don't get sick of. It tastes great and is something I can drink multiple times a day. I would certainly recommend this product to someone that is picky about how wheys taste. I've had some proteins that you have to plug your nose to get it down; and this is definitely not one of them!
Ingredients: 10/10. Glutamine, BCAAs, Fiber, everything a quality protein needs without fillers. Virtually no carbs or fat.
Overall this is definitely a top product, and is truly a protein by which others are measured. (Posted on 10/17/2014)* Not the best. Review by parjesh
The reason I say this is not the beast protein is stated right on the labeling. If you read the label it will say the the isolate is "77% protein by weight". Not only are you going to spend more money in the long run, you also will not reach your goals as fast as you potentially could. If you're paying for a protein-you want to get as much protein per dollar as you can. That can be achieved with muscletech platinum iso-zero which is 98% protein by weight (for roughly $7 more). The reason this protein is the #1 best seller on bodybuilding.com is due to the fact the website is owned by optimum nutrition (the protein brand that makes this protein). Obviously you promote your own product before anyone else's. It is NOT number 1 because it is the best protein. (Posted on 10/5/2014)* Great Tasting protein Review by Kneshca
I bought the cookies and cream flavoured protein, it tastes really nice, and the mixability is great too! My personal concern is the artificial sweeteners they use, other than that, i really like this product. (Posted on 4/25/2014)* Love it Review by Jgirl
This is my first Protein powder and I love the flavor and texture of it. The minute I opened it I knew Id have no problem drinking it. Tastes just like a vanilla milkshake. I have a hard time getting my protein and this is a great solution. (Posted on 2/28/2014)* My Favourite Protein Review by Joe
I am a big fan of Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard, It is a line that has some of the best flavours of protein. I take at least 2 servings a day. (Posted on 10/24/2013)* Excellent results! Review by Larry
I've been using this product for some time now and I've had great results. This is a great whey product to start with. I've had a bunch of the flavors, but cookies and cream is probably my favorite. (Posted on 7/18/2013)*
