Description
Yes, it contains artificial flavors and sweeteners. The sweeteners are sucralose (a.k.a. Splenda®) and/or acesulfame potassium (a.k.a. Ace K), depending on the flavor. However, the company has a line of “natural whey” in Chocolate, Strawberry, and Vanilla flavors. Is Gold Standard Whey good for weight loss? We may not have achieved our desired gains, but we certainly perfected our ability to mix the perfect protein shake! In fact, we started to fantasize about what we'd do if we had an endless supply of this stuff – protein pancakes for breakfast, protein ice cream for dessert, you name it! But here's the catch – the more you love it, the faster you run out of it. It's a classic case of "too good for our own good." We went through tubs of this stuff faster than a hot knife through butter. It's like a protein "Hunger Games" – every sip was a battle to ration, but we couldn't resist the temptation. Vanilla is a staple flavor — it mixes well with other ingredients in a smoothie and can even add some sweetness to plain Greek Yogurt or oatmeal. But considering Optimum Nutrition makes several vanilla flavors (French Vanilla Creme and Vanilla Ice Cream), we had to give both a try.
The thing with White Chocolate is that this flavor is a bit more expensive to produce, so it’s only available in the larger five-pound tubs. That means a lot of people overlook it, but we consider it the most underrated flavor.Not all athletes are fans of mixing their milk with whey. Plus, in our experience, milk (especially two percent or whole milk) can add a lot of richness to a protein powder, elevating the overall flavor. So, to get an objective taste, we ranked our flavors based on how they tasted only with water. Aftertaste Related: Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Casein Review — Most Popular Brand? ] What To Consider Before Buying We started using this protein powder as part of our fitness routine, and the taste was the first delightful surprise. It's like someone sprinkled magic fairy dust into the tub, because it tastes like a dessert! The rich, creamy flavors are like a party for your taste buds, and suddenly, protein shakes became our daily indulgence. After training, your body uses protein to help repair and rebuild muscle fibres. Gold Standard Whey delivers 24g of whey protein and 5.5g of naturally occuring BCAA's to support muscle growth, and 4g of glutamine and glutamine acid to reduce muscle soreness. Optimum Nutrition's Gold Standard 100% Whey truly lives up to its name. The Double Rich Chocolate flavor is not only a treat for the taste buds but also blends seamlessly, leaving no chalky residue. Its unique blend of whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, and peptides delivers a fast-absorbing, high-quality protein source that has significantly enhanced my muscle recovery and growth.
There’s a reason why peanut butter cups are the superior chocolate (at least in our opinion) — It’s hard to go wrong with Chocolate Peanut Butter flavors. Chocolate and peanut butterare just a wonderful pairing and whey protein powder is no exception. Peanut butter alone is delicious, don’t get us wrong, but the spread isn’t exactly sweet. And when a savory whey protein powder doesn’t sound ideal. There’s zero artificial-tasting ingredients, which is a must-have with vanilla. Chances are we can all agree that’s the best way to eat vanilla. No significant difference has been shown between milk derived from RBST-treated and non-rbst treated cows.
