Muscle gain


Taste		Tastes are pretty great, cinnamon graham cracker taste like a cinnamony milk.
Physical energy		also tried gold standards 100 percent casein and it makes a perfect drink before bed leaving you with some notifiable energy in the morning.


Value for money		One of the cheapest whey out there I believe.


Taste		The aftertaste is indescribable and now I have 5 lbs (yeah I know brilliant) sitting away in my cabinet.
Taste		Unfortunately for most people, they cannot get away with adding fats like I can, so I'm not sure about this flavor.


Texture		Great tasting, smooth, mouth watering.

Value for money		but the real value is the high quality protein that it provides.


Muscle gain		I have gained notable mass on a full body spectrum.
Muscle gain		Taste set aside (which I can overcome pretty quickly), this protein has a perfect complex for workout support and overall muscle gain.
Taste		I have tasted a few different Gold Standard flavors, and White Chocolate is right on my top (or bottom) of my 5 worst tasting protein flavors list.
Taste		It has a very noticeable unprocessed or flour aftertaste when mixed with water and this aftertaste remains noticeable when mixed with milks and foods.

Taste		but in a different flavor.
Mixes well		It has a very noticeable unprocessed or flour aftertaste when mixed with water and this aftertaste remains noticeable when mixed with milks and foods.


Taste		but it is too sweet for my taste so I'm going to stick with banana cream.
Mixes well		I have also tried double rich chocolate and it dissolves faster than the banana cream


Taste		I like to try multiple flavors and most have been pretty good.
Value for money		Great product and I feel that the price point is good as well.


Taste		best whey protein i guess double rich chocolate tastes good highly recommended !


Recovery ability		Someone suggested Whey protein to help with recovery.


Texture		If you are making smoothies this is not a problem.
Texture		Recommended use in smoothies were the flavor does not have to be strong.

Taste		Ive tried a lot of the flavors, and this tastes the best!


Taste		One of the best tasting and easiest mixing that I have used.


Texture		but doesn't work in smoothies with fruit.
Texture		Works well with bananas in smoothies,
Taste		Mocha Cappuccino - Nice coffee flavour,
Taste		It is awesome in homemade protein bars though (add some allspice and ginger - amazing!) Caramel Toffee - I was looking for a caramel taste,
Mixes well		Mixability is awesome, as I expected from ON. Solid product, one of my favourites.


Texture		It has a good consistency, decent taste (Strawberry) and has good levels of the key nutrition I want/need.
Taste		It has a good consistency, decent taste (Strawberry) and has good levels of the key nutrition I want/need.


Pump		I use the Vanilla Ice Cream protein in my Jamie Eason Pumpkin Protein Bars (recipe available here on Bodybuilding.com).
Value for money		For those who don't have a lot of extra money to spend on supplements, this is the first thing I recommend.
Value for money		You can't get a better protein for the money!


Taste		Also the taste isn't great only because i choose from only a few flavors while getting the 10 pound bags i sure hope they can make a broader variety of flavors for the heavier bags
Value for money		Its cheap and a great protein source definitely recommend to others.


Taste		Great taste protein I will recommend this to all my friend
