This is normal as the powder settles and does not impact on or decrease the weight or number of serves listed on the label. NECKBAND In order to conform to the direction of our sustainability policy and goals, we have decided to remove this part of the packaging. Packaging may vary for a certain period of time as this change takes into effect. VACUUM SEAL Optimum Nutrition protein tubs have a cardboard vacuum barrier that helps hold powder in place during shipping. This gloss white protective disk should be stuck to top of the tub. BATCH NUMBER AND DATE Every Optimum Nutrition product will display a printed Batch Number and Date. The Best Before Date and Batch Codes are located on the side of the tub or the rear of the large bags. SCOOP Gold Standard 100% Whey tubs (UK & EU) now contain a clear plastic scoop. There is no branding on this. *Due to a recent changeover we added a clear plastic scoop. You may still find gold scoops in your tubs in the short term. TUB DESIGN Gold Standard 100% Whey Tubs (UK and EU) have a circular indentation on the bottom. There is also a line running through the middle. What is protein?

Gold Standard 100% Whey Gold Standard 100% Casein Gold Standard 100% Plant Gold Standard Pre-Workout Gold Standard BCAA Micronised Creatine Serious Mass Review: Can't switch. Best protein powder. - This has been my go to protein for years now. Even when I went plant based for a while. I refused to get rid of this because I couldn't find a better alternative. It blends beautifully, the taste is balanced and it's a great base to add fruit, nut butters and blended with water or any type of milk. Is amazing with frozen banana and has the texture of a luxury milkshake. I never get bloated from it. Unlike other protein powders. I would much rather pay extra and know I will use it and enjoy it. Review: Tasty - Best whey protein supplement out there. Tastes delicious, it mixes easily and produces a smooth texture.
