Great taste low sugar

$2.00/day access to core protein requirements (50 pounds of powder per year is the way) is hard to come by. Great value and decent quality.

What can I say, Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard whey is one of the best all around protein supplements out there. There are many other quality brands with great nutrition profiles similar to ON Gold. Is it the best concentrate? NO. Is it the "cleanest" whey? No. Where this line of protein separates itself is the taste and solubility. Anyone who has tried many different quality brands in addition to ON Gold Standard, knows that the solubility of ON GS cannot be compared to any other brands. How is this important for someone who takes one or two scoops per day? Nothing. But if you are an avid lifter or constant lifter, you'll probably take six or more scoops per day. When you can get about 50 grams of protein(two scoops) and mix it with as little as 5oz of water, it makes a HUGE difference in how bloated you feel after and throughout the day. Other quality proteins really need 8-10oz. That is nearly double the amount of liquid.The taste. Cake batter. 9/10. This is a delicious flavor I tried for the first time. It might be a little too sweet. It kind of tastes like cookie dough to me.

I have done a lot of research comparing many different key factors on whey protein and various other weight gainers for supplementation and have tried many. Calculating quality factors taken into consideration include mixing quality, flavor options, taste, sugar, carbohydrate, sodium, protein & protein per serving %(PPS), fat levels, and finally cost all demonstrate the quality of this product.Considering all the above factors EXCEPT COST, I have found 2 products I consider marginally better primarily based on protein percentage (ISO 100[84% PPS] & Hydrobolic FX [90% PPS]). I have tried both of these products and can attest to there effectiveness. That being said; both of these other products are over $40 more per 10 lbs (a cost difference which can't be justified). Also note: Hydrobolic FX flavors are limited and both poor in my opinion so although it has the best features it is tough to swallow, ISO 100 smooth banana is fairly tasty.Gold Standard excels: both sugar and carbohydrates are just about non-existent, I have never had a product dissolve better yet, and the flavor choices are awesome; mocha cappuccino is hands down the best and most versatile being able to mix it with coffee; milk, & water. Looking at the nutritional facts of this item you will note the PPS is high while sugar and carbohydrates are practically non-existing.This review is specifically for the 10lb strawberry which is also very tasty, but not as versatile as other flavors.

Definitely a huge bag but worth it in the long run for every day use. I don’t like the taste of most protein powders but this vanilla ice cream one is 10/10. Use it in our smoothies, pancakes and muffins.

Was a little hesitant after seeing the 1-star reviews citing ingredient changes, but my go-to (birthday cake; sprinkles are for winners) only comes in a 2 lb tub so I decided to chance it with the cake batter 5 lb tub (no sprinkles, but that's okay, you're still a winner because you're basically eating healthy cake batter). Mainly I was worried it was going to be too sweet after seeing some complaints about sucralose.Frankly, at least as far as I'm concerned, it's awesome. First shake I mixed it with some /flavored/ coffee -- okay, bad idea, with the coffee already flavored it WAS too sweet. Next mixed it with water -- Tasted good, tasted right, and like cake batter. Yum. Next mixed it with black coffee, and another time with water and instant coffee (I like coffee if you can't tell)...oh man, it's delicious. It's like ice cream. Finally, I mixed a scoop with a cup of greek vanilla yogurt, and I think it might be my most favorite evening snack dessert-facsimile of all time. It's basically just like eating cake batter. Healthy cake batter. It defies logic. It's my new fave...sorry sprinkles and chocolate.The tub I received on March 2018 does contain salt and sucralose in the listed ingredients, but I'll be honest, didn't affect the taste to me and I can't find any reference that shows it was ever otherwise for this flavor; also, 140mg of sodium and 2g of sugar on the nutrition facts is not outrageous depending on your exercise/nutrition intake.If you like cake batter and gainz, as you sensibly should, I'd recommend.
