Review: Tastes great and really helps with recovery after tough workouts - I’ve been using the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder for a couple of months now, and it has become a cornerstone of my fitness routine. I usually mix it with water or almond milk right after workouts, and it blends effortlessly without leaving any clumps, which is a huge plus compared to some other protein powders I’ve tried. The chocolate flavour I chose is rich and satisfying, not overly sweet, and it doesn’t leave a weird aftertaste, which makes it easy to drink every day. What really stands out is how my recovery has improved since starting it. My muscles feel less sore the next day, and I feel like I’m able to push a little harder during training sessions without overdoing it. I’ve also noticed that my gains in muscle definition are more consistent, which I attribute to having a reliable source of high-quality protein right after workouts. The packaging is sturdy and reseals well, keeping the powder fresh for a long time. The only thing to note is that if you’re lactose sensitive, it can be a little rich on the stomach, but for me it’s been fine. Overall, this protein powder is top-notch, mixes perfectly, tastes great, and genuinely supports muscle recovery and growth, making it worth every penny.
Review: Genuinely the gold standard! - When it comes to protein and supplements Optimum Nutrition has been my go to for years now. This stuff tastes delicious no matter which flavour, despite my bias towards the vanilla ice cream. Perfect as a standalone shake, protein oats, protein smoothie, etc. I personally opt for the smoothie method most times and if you're interested I'd recommend mixing this with; frozen blueberries, greek yoghurt, milled flax, almond milk and fresh strawberries. (Ice added to thicken if needed, and measurements/ingredients adjust per your macro/diet requirements and or taste preferences). Pop it all in a blender and you have what the grimace shake should've been and a clean version at that. 10/10 whey protein.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this protein powder
*by E***A on 17 July 2025*

’ve been using Optimum Nutrition Whey regularly after workouts, and it’s become my go-to protein powder. It mixes effortlessly—no lumps or chalkiness—and the vanilla ice cream flavor is genuinely smooth and enjoyable ￼. Each scoop delivers a solid hit of protein (24 g) along with BCAAs, which has really helped support my muscle recovery and keep me feeling full between meals. What I appreciate most is the consistency—every batch tastes the same, and it’s never gritty (). On top of that, the large tub lasts for weeks. Even though it ships from the US, delivery to the UK was smooth and wasn’t delayed. If you’re after a reliable, well-mixed whey powder with a pleasant flavor and solid nutritional profile, this one certainly delivers. It’s earned a permanent spot in my post-workout routine.
