Review: Great taste, low calories, good price. BEST quality out there! - Effects on training: I ran out of whey powder before I bought this tub on desertcart. I have trained several periods in the last years with and without whey protein (replaced shakes with natural protein sources). I personally like the quick absorption of Optimum Nutrition Whey, the flexibility and creativity it adds to my day-to-day activities and the quality of the product. I have barely any other option to quickly get a protein amount while I am juggling my job, my workouts and my friends. I personally think this whey protein has good effects on my training. (I have gained about 10 lbs of muscle mass in the last 12 months of training - 4 day split). I run 2-3 times a week (approx. 30 minutes). TASTE: I have tried several brands before I discovered Optimum Nutrition. I prefer the Milk CHOCOLATE taste and it really does taste like chocolate. There are sweeteners in this whey but you can't really taste them. Mixing with WATER: Using a SMART SHAKER (tm) - mixes OK with water, there are no lumps and the process is quick. However the TASTE changes a bit if you are using the Milk CHOCOLATE with water only. If you have further questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Mixing with MILK (low-fat 0.3% milk): Using a SMART SHAKER - mixes really well, taste is excellent. No lumps or issues. If you shake it hard enough there will be a little bit of "foam" on top of your shake which is good. Mixing with fruit juice: I have tried MINUTE MAID Orange Juice - mixing was no problem but I personally didn't like the chocolate/orange taste (but I also don't like this combination in chocolate, others love it - just try it out!) Mixing/Combining with Quaker Oats (oatmeal/porridge): ON Double Rich Chocolate with oatmeal adds a great chocolate taste and makes the oatmeal more appealing. However, there is also a floury side taste (similar to mixing with water alone) which is the only downside. I can live with it. NEGATIVE / ADVERSE effects on body, skin or hair: None. Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey 4712 g Double Chocolate Protein Shake Powder monstersupplements also sent me a free shaker and a sample (PhD gain chocolate).
Review: Great for chocolate lovers – My favourite protein! - I have been using Gold Standard Whey for almost 10 years now, and the extreme milk chocolate flavour is definitely one of my favourites. It has a really good chocolate taste, kind of like chocolate milk and I’ve always found this brand trustworthy, so I’ve stuck with it. While it’s not my main protein these days, I still enjoy having it every once in a while. Each scoop has 120 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, 3 grams of carbs (1 gram fibre, 2 grams sugar), and 24 grams of protein. The macronutrient profile is solid, and it’s made up of a blend of proteins, including whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, and whey peptides. Mixing it up is easy, and it smells great as soon as you open it, a nice chocolate aroma without being too sweet or overpowering. It’s smooth and has a good texture, and I like the chocolate flavour intensity, it’s got just the right balance, not too strong or weak. I’d call it the Goldilocks of chocolate flavours, if you will. On a scale of 1 to 10 I’d give this flavour an 8.5 out of 10. If you’re looking for a tasty, reliable chocolate protein, I’d definitely recommend trying the extreme milk Chocolate flavour. Cheers, and happy mixing!

**Q: Why is protein important for you?**
A: Protein is an essential nutrient that we can’t live without it. We are literally made of protein, you need it for healthy skin, hair, nails, organs, bones, and muscle, it supports our movement, feeds your immune system and so much more.

A: False. This is totally untrue, your genetics and your strength training programme dictates how much muscle you build, protein only supports this training.

**Q: Whey protein is bad for my health?**
A: False. There is absolutely no evidence that whey protein causes any negative health effects in healthy adults. Remember, whey protein comes from cheese making and is a food.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top Quality Protein for the average human!!
*by Z***N on 28 May 2019*

So I am not a super gym freak but I wanted to get healthier over all, so I opted for some additional supplements to help me on my journey. One of these supplements was Optimum Nutrition's Gold Standard 100% WHEY (Extreme Milk Chocolate) I was not only relying on this for my protein intake, real food was also consumed. So I would have 3 meals and 3 shakes a day. After about a week are so I did lose some weight and gain some muscle. It wasn’t a massive improvement but a good start in my eyes. Since then, due to injury, I have not been back to gym but I do still take this supplement occasionally in the week as a quick meal. I like the taste and the nice thing for me is that the protein mixes well in both water and milk. Packaging: Well packaged, comes in a tub. I have seen other in the reviews saying that the seal had been broken when trying to open it. I have bought at least 6 tubs in the last 12 months and never had this happened to me. Product: The flavour I ordered is extreme milk chocolate, I really like the taste and it mixes well. I have used it with water, almond milk and 2% milk all mixed well and tasted great. I find that its not really down to the powders not mixing proper but some people don't use good quality mixers. Pros: *Tastes great *Mixes well *Free scoop in every tub *Good quality protein *Versatile for what you need it for *Packaged well Cons: I haven't had any as of yet. I still have a tub in the kitchen, that I now just use with my meal replacements. Conclusion: If you are looking for a good trusted brand this is a good choice in my opinion. I have used other protein brands in the past but this was the right one for me and I will continue using it. I would definitely recommend this product, whether you are going to gym, playing sports, or just wanting to add additional protein boost to your diet.
