Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Muscle Building and Recovery Protein Powder With Naturally Occurring Glutamine and BCAA Amino Acids, Extreme Milk Chocolate Flavour, 28 Servings, 896 g

Very very good stuff.I’ve known about ‘Whey Protein’ & this brand of the stuff for years I just didn’t know that it repaired muscle otherwise I’d have been drinking this stuff for years now & probably would have toned myself in that time, now that’s not toned as in Stallone just as in sufficient muscle.It mixes up well giving the powder & milk (in my case) a blitz with a hand mixer then popping it into a bottle with a circular ball shaped spring inside (pictured & purchased from Amazon) for when it settles in that drinking container.Sometimes it can leave a little bit of a sickly feel on your stomach when you drink it but sometimes it doesn’t at all but it always helps me with prolonged work situations like cutting the large back garden grass down & for other things around the home like that, I’ve also noticed a little muscle build & less aching on my hamstrings so all’s good really I can definitely feel & see a difference from as previously mentioned more muscle on my lower legs to less aching at the end of the day, I get the strawberry flavour which is very nice just to mention.

This is my third purchase of the product. I've been using this protein for several months and am very happy with it. It is a good quality protein which provides a higher than average amount of protein per serving whilst being low in fat and sugar, something that is important to people with diabetes, like me. Since March I've been on a high protein, calorie controlled diet and have lost almost 3 stones, and this product helped me a lot, though this is NOT a weight loss product. It is a product that makes it much easier for me to achieve my daily protein goals, amongst other things. It has no particular smell and mixes well with water; there is no lumpiness or powdery taste, though the consistency is bit too watery and thus, to me, it tastes a bit bland. I assume that with milk, it would taste creamier, but I never tried it. Since I am on this diet and in order to ensure I consume the nutrients that I need, I add frozen spinach, carrots, fresh fruits and some nuts and seeds to my shake. It tastes much better than on its own. I split it in half and consume it for breakfast and in the evening. On occasion, when I know that I will go swimming, I also add creatine and it is amazing how easier my swim and post swim recovery are when I consume this shake. I have used different protein shakes in the past, but this one is by far the best I tried, in terms of effectiveness and how it makes me feel, it is a good value for money and I intend to stick with it.

As someone who works out moderately, I was looking for a reliable protein powder to help me feel full, aid in muscle recovery, and hit my daily protein goals. I decided to give this a try and I'm really impressed.I purchased the Extreme Chocolate flavor, and the taste is fantastic. It's a rich, classic chocolate that mixes perfectly with either cold water or milk, depending on your preference. It honestly tastes like a chocolate milkshake, which makes it feel like a treat, whether you're taking it first thing in the morning or after a tough workout.The mixability is where this product truly shines. It dissolves completely with just a few shakes in a standard shaker bottle—no lumps or grainy texture whatsoever, which is awesome.In terms of digestion, I've had no issues at all. This protein doesn't cause any bloating or discomfort for me, even when I take a full scoop immediately after a workout. I've been using it for about a week now and already feel it helps me feel less sore the next day, making it easier to get back to my workouts.Pros:Amazing, rich chocolate flavor.Mixes perfectly with zero clumps.Easy on the stomach and no bloating.A great value for the quality and number of servings you get.Cons:It could be a little on the sweet side for some, which is likely why it's called "Extreme Chocolate." While it's fine for me personally, some might find it a bit too much.While the initial price for a large tub is a bit of an investment, I believe the quality and number of servings make it a great long-term value.Overall Recommendation:This protein is an excellent choice for anyone. Whether you're a beginner, an experienced athlete, or just looking to boost your protein intake and cut down on hunger to aid in weight loss, this is a great option. If you're looking for a reliable, great-tasting, and easily digestible whey protein that won't leave you with a chalky aftertaste, this is the one. I will definitely be buying this again.

Enjoy the flavour of the banana mix. Bought for £22.00 in August, and its now £36.99. Price appears to fluctuate daily, so unlikely at this price I will buy it again as plenty more out there, much cheaper. Maybe not as good, but willing to try

Great product. I don't usually write reviews but I think these guys deserve one. I have had many of these over the years and most of the flavours taste great. I have had the Chocolate Mint = Great. Vanilla Ice Cream = Great. Chocolate Peanut Butter = Great. Cookies and Cream = Ok (ish). White Chocolate Raspberry = Great. Banana = Great. Strawberry = Great.Like I said, most of these are great tasting and low in calorie with a nice portion of protein. They work a better with Milk than Water. But I don't mind having them with just water. But, if your feeling cheeky on your diet and nutrition, milk works well.They are also great mixed in to Oats, Pancakes and Yogurts if your feeling creative. Just purchase them and enjoy.
