Product Reviews of Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard Natural Whey, Natural Chocolate, 5 Pound
Product Review: Good Stuff
Summary: 4 Stars
I think that this protein is tasty for being 100% natural. That being said I think there are better tasting protein drinks that are not 100% natural. So, if you want natural this product is the way to go. If you want taste you may want to look elsewhere. I actually make frozen drinks with this protein and when you do that, you can't tell the difference in taste anyway.Product Review: Good Taste, notice a difference
Summary: 5 Stars
I had always been a good athlete, fit, and exercised, but I never really got into supplements much. After Christmas Break I came back to school with noticeable weight gain and hadn't exercised consistently for a long time. I needed a change, and was going to take it seriously.
I found this product on Amazon with it coming highly recommended and ordered it. The package came fast and the 5lb bottle was huge. Should last at least a month of consistent exercising. I've been working out once a day for an hour plus for several weeks, including cardio and weight lifting into each one. I take 2 scoops of protein after each workout and mix with milk. The taste is good, adds some calories for recovery, and takes an edge off any hunger I have after my workout. My recovery is quick and I have noticeable performance improvements with consistent workouts and consistent use of this protein.
Product Review: Good for protein
Summary: 4 Stars
The value is good. The protein content is good, and there aren't too many calories for the amount of protein you get.
The only thing that I had to get used to was the taste. I have previously used the chocolate-flavor Dymatize Elite Gourmet Protein, and this one is significantly less sweet than that one. Granted, Dymatize uses sucralose (splenda) for sweetener while this one uses stevia (and probably much less of it), but I have to add a teaspoon of sugar or so when I mix to make it taste better. That being said, it's probably healthier?
There aren't as many choices if you want pure whey protein (I researched a little, and the sources don't agree on whether whey/casein blends are GOOD because you get whey now and casein later, or BAD because the casein slows absorption of the whey and nullifies the advantages of having both), so this one is cost effective and decent tasting (when adding a bit of sugar, YMMV); I take this right after my workout and a blend at night (OCD? maybe).
Product Review: Good price and product
Summary: 4 Stars
Good quality and quantity for the price. Mixes fairly easily and has good flavor. I'd recommend it and purchase again.Product Review: Good price but not great taste
Summary: 4 Stars
It tastes so-so, but the price per gram of protein that you get for this is better than I could find anywhere else. So I'm gonna buy my second tub :).
