t doesn’t taste chalky or fake like some protein powders. The chocolate flavor actually tastes good, and it mixes smooth in just a shaker bottle. I use it after workouts and sometimes even toss it in my oatmeal. Works great, no weird aftertaste, and keeps me full.

Click to play video I really like that you only use 6-8 ounces of milk or water with this. That way I'm able to use two scoops without needing to down a bunch of milk. I use milk with mine because it makes it taste so much better. I'm not worried about my weight. I'm losing too much as it is. I had previously been drinking Raw protein powder I got from Sam's Club. It has more of a chocolate taste and is sweeter than this, but this is cheaper, and you have to use 12 ounces for one scoop with the Raw. I had some stomach issues the first time I drank this, but I think it's because I downed 16 ounces of milk too fast. I've had no stomach problems since I've slowed down drinking it. It doesn't have a strong chocolate flavor, but I appreciate that there's no chalky flavor either. It's like a hint of chocolate with my milk. I just ordered the Extreme Milk Chocolate because it was cheaper. Hopefully I'll like it too. I highly recommend this stuff, especially for the price! I'd definitely buy it again, and I probably will if the milk chocolate isn't as good.

Optimum Nutrition's Gold Standard 100% Whey is a classic for a reason. The Double Rich Chocolate flavor is simply delicious, mixing effortlessly into water or milk. It delivers a high-quality protein boost, perfect for post-workout recovery or a quick meal replacement. I've noticed significant improvements in muscle growth and recovery. The consistent quality and taste make it my go-to protein powder. It's a reliable and effective product that lives up to its name. Highly recommended for anyone serious about their fitness goals.

I recently had the opportunity to try out the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder in the Double Rich Chocolate flavor, and I must say, it did not disappoint. As a fitness enthusiast and someone who understands the importance of proper nutrition, I’m always looking for high-quality protein supplements, and this product certainly meets all the criteria. First and foremost, the taste is exceptional. The Double Rich Chocolate flavor is rich, smooth, and truly decadent. It easily mixes with water or milk, creating a creamy and satisfying shake that feels like an indulgence rather than a supplement. This is especially important for those who struggle with the taste of most protein powders, as it can often be a deterrent to regular use. With Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard, I actually find myself looking forward to enjoying my protein shake after a workout. But taste is not the only factor that matters when it comes to protein supplementation. The formulation of this product is also highly commendable. Each serving provides 24 grams of high-quality whey protein, which is essential for muscle recovery and growth. It is also low in fat and sugar, making it an excellent option for anyone seeking to maintain a lean physique or those watching their calorie intake. Moreover, Optimum Nutrition is known for its commitment to quality and transparency. The brand has consistently delivered products that undergo rigorous testing to ensure safety, purity, and effectiveness. This gives me peace of mind as a consumer, knowing that I am not only getting a great-tasting product but also one that is backed by science. The packaging is also noteworthy, as it conveniently comes in a two-pound container, making it easy to store and transport. And while the packaging design may vary, the contents remain of the same high standard. This consistency further adds to the credibility of the brand. Overall, I highly recommend the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder in Double Rich Chocolate flavor. It combines a delectable taste with an impressive nutritional profile, making it an effective and enjoyable choice for anyone seeking to enhance their fitness and nutrition journey

This protein powder has a flavor that is much better than most other chocolate protein powders! It also has great levels of BCAs as well as a high level of protein powder per serving! I love using this protein powder for making protein balls with oats as well as making protein shakes with peanut butter! I have ordered this off of Amazon twice as it arrived in great condition. A bit pricey, but well worth it in my opinion.

The chocolate flavor is incredible with some milk, and even better with peanut butter! I have two protein shakes a day--one with breakfast and one after my evening workout. The morning shake is just milk and protein mixed, the evening shake is milk, protein mix, peanut butter, half a banana, and some ice all thrown into the mixer. Chocolate protein shakes have seriously come a long way from tasting like chalk to actually being edible. This is very filling even if you aren't using it for fitness. If you want to eat a meal that's light on protein but still feel full afterwards, having this shake with your meal can fill in the gap. 5 stars!

This protein powder is a game-changer! I’ve always struggled to find a protein shake I can tolerate because I can’t stand the aftertaste from stevia or sucralose. So, I’d always feel guilty offering protein shakes to my underweight teenage son. But this one? Absolutely no guilt whatsoever! It tastes amazing, and I’m thrilled to give it to him. I mix it with 1 cup of lactose-free milk, 1 scoop of this powder, 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream, 1 tablespoon of unsalted melted butter, a dash of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of condensed milk (you can also use honey for sweetness). My son loves it and drinks it twice a day. I can’t wait to see how his weight and height progress in the coming weeks. Please don’t change the formula—I'll definitely be back for more!

Ho recentemente provato le Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Proteine in polvere nel gusto Doppio Cioccolato e sono rimasto estremamente soddisfatto dei risultati che ho ottenuto. Iniziamo con la qualità del prodotto. Optimum Nutrition è una delle aziende più rinomate nel settore degli integratori alimentari e le loro proteine in polvere sono ampiamente riconosciute per la loro eccellenza. Le Gold Standard 100% Whey Proteine sono realizzate con ingredienti di alta qualità, tra cui glutammina e aminoacidi BCAA naturali, che contribuiscono allo sviluppo e al recupero muscolare ottimale. Una delle cose che mi ha colpito di più è il sapore del gusto Doppio Cioccolato. Le proteine in polvere spesso possono avere un retrogusto sgradevole, ma queste sono davvero deliziose. Ogni sorso è una vera delizia al palato e rende il consumo delle proteine un piacere. Non vedo l'ora di gustare la mia bevanda proteica dopo ogni allenamento. La solubilità delle proteine in polvere è impeccabile. Si mescolano facilmente con acqua o latte e si sciolgono senza grumi o residui. Non ho mai avuto problemi a ottenere una consistenza liscia e cremosa. Questo è un grande vantaggio, soprattutto quando si è di fretta o si è in viaggio. Per quanto riguarda i risultati, ho notato un miglioramento significativo nel mio recupero muscolare dopo gli allenamenti intensi. Le Gold Standard 100% Whey Proteine mi hanno aiutato a ridurre al minimo il dolore muscolare post-allenamento e mi hanno fornito l'energia necessaria per affrontare le mie sessioni di allenamento successiva. Ho anche notato un aumento della massa muscolare e una maggiore definizione. Un'altra caratteristica che apprezzo delle Gold Standard 100% Whey Proteine è la loro versatilità. Possono essere utilizzate non solo come bevanda post-allenamento, ma anche come ingrediente per preparare frullati proteici, barrette energetiche fatte in casa o aggiunte a ricette per aumentare l'apporto proteico. In conclusione, le Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Proteine in polvere sono un prodotto di alta qualità per il recupero muscolare ottimale. Con il loro gusto delizioso, solubilità impeccabile e risultati evidenti, sono diventate una parte essenziale della mia routine di allenamento. Le consiglio vivamente a chiunque sia alla ricerca di proteine in polvere affidabili ed efficaci per raggiungere i propri obiettivi di fitness e recupero muscolare. Spero che questa recensione ti sia stata utile. Se hai altre domande, non esitare a chiedere.

-------------------------------------- UPDATE 11 March 2016 --------------------------------------- I keep an eye on my reviews but lately, I have seen this happening often . I get a few votes up for a review and then quite strangely a down vote the same day, that really has left me wondering if some people are deliberately down voting reviews. I don't understand how Amazon moderators are letting this off. --------------------------------------------- I am compelled to write this review after seeing quite a few negative reviews calling it a fake or counterfeit which I find it quite misleading once again. I bought the 1lb pack to check the concerns raised that the packaging is mislabeled with a 23gram protein scoop. To all the concerned people, there is in fact 1lb Gold Standard refill pack with 24g protein per scoop. (Photos attached) is one of the best Whey proteins in the market today. Three things I liked about this product, the manufacturing is entirely done in the USA following strict US regulations, the grams of protein in each scoop and the taste. If you’re new to Protein Supplements, this is a quick overview of few major protein types that are sold in the market today. Most protein supplements that are in the market offer blends of different types of whey proteins. To make it easy, let me break it down for you. There are three types of fast digestive proteins, the cheapest is the Whey Concentrate typically a mass gainer with lots of carbs , then comes the more expensive Whey Isolate and then the most expensive Whey Hydro Isolate . Concentrate typically takes about 2-3 hours to digest, Isolates can be digested in your system within 2 hours, Hydro Isolates is purest form whey and can be taken even if you’re lactose intolerant - Hydro isolates can be digested within an hour and work best as Post Workout drinks. Basically, the price of your protein directly depends on the % of Whey Isolate or Whey Hydro Isolate present. There is also a slow digestive protein called Casein which is cheaper or almost the same as Whey Concentrate, treat this as a bedtime supplement as it takes about 6 hours to digest. What is OPTIMUM NUTRITION- 100% Whey Gold Standard ? ON 100% Whey Gold Standard is a multi-whey blend comprising isolates & concentrates as its main ingredients. It contains 24 grams of protein per serving, with a bit of fat, cholesterol, and lactose. Bear in mind, if you’re lactose intolerant, this is not for you unfortunately. Taste, Texture and Mixability It is not very sweet and mixes well with water and milk. I didn’t feel bloated and Double Chocolate flavour I’ve tried was good, and I will give 8.5/10 for the taste 9.5/10 for mixability Total score 9/10 When will I start seeing results? This is the bitter truth, Protein supplements would help you <20% to reach your fitness goals. Your everyday workout helps you about another 30% and the rest is your daily diet as to how you maintain yourself eating healthy. You’re not going to get fitter staying home and just having 3 protein smoothies a day. From somewhere I had once read, you don’t buy protein protein supplements till you are regular at the gym working out and eating healthy for at least 90 days. Once those two habits are accomplished, buy protein supplements, and you will see results. Are protein supplements necessary? This question is debatable but it all comes down to how much protein is in your everyday diet. If you’ve enough protein in your diet, no need obviously. From a personal perspective, I would avoid processed food like protein supplements any day, if I can consume enough protein through my diet (egg, milk, meat etc) Health Benefits/ Issues It is always advisable to take protein in their natural form (Milk, Egg, Meat, etc), but with a vegetarian diet that could be challenging. Rule of thumb with supplements is DO NOT go overboard - DO NOT take more than 2 scoops in 24 hours, but personally, if you’re not aiming for the Olympics, I suggest to start with 1 scoop a day so that you go easy on your body. In addition, you MUST drink a lot of water when taking protein supplements. From a lecture of Dr Tara Swart of MIT Sloan, your body requires 500ml of water for every 30lb (13.6 Kg) of your weight in a day to function normally. Smoothie recipe = 1 scoop (Chocolate) + 1 Avacado + Banana + 200ml Almond Milk + Ice Cubes in a Blender . PLEASE NOTE: Insufficient water intake can give you Stomach pain/ Abdominal Pain with protein supplements. NOT to be considered professional/medical advice. This review is based on personal experience. Protein supplements are to be considered with caution.

Sin duda, la mejor proteína que he probado. Tiene un sabor excelente y se disuelve bastante bien, aunque al mezclarla con agua o leche pueden quedar algunos pequeños grumos, algo que no importa demasiado. Aporta una buena cantidad de proteínas y se digiere fácilmente. En general, una opción muy recomendable para quienes buscan calidad y buen sabor. Muy recomendada.
