Taste		i just love the chocolate flavor and i can say this is my favorite protein out there
Mixes well		while gold standard mixes in the blender very easily and dont leave any foam.
Value for money		I can diffidently say that this protein is cheapest and the best out there in the market.
Value for money		i try going with one full isolate and cheaper


Taste		I bought Gold Standard 5 pounds of strawberry and white chocolate flavor.
Taste		I was very disapointed in taste of the product after previously using Muscle Pharm Combat Protein.
Taste		The flavor is not even close.


Physical energy		I used this product and happy with its result.I feel more energetic and strong.I will surely recommend to others.


Taste		Tastes like a latte.
Mixes well		This dissolves completely and quickly.


Taste		I really enjoy this product, its got a good taste, i've tried banna creme and extreme milk chocolate.
Mixes well		It also mixes well.


Texture		Tastes like thin mints!!!!!!!!!
Taste		Tastes like thin mints!!!!!!!!!


Strength		I felt full and I made some impressive gains the summer I stacked this a creatine before senior year.
Taste		I wasn't a huge fan of the taste, and I probably should've gotten it in a chocolate or vanilla.
Taste		It definitely didn't taste as bad as Body Fortress to me,
Taste		but it was nowhere near as good as some of the other flavors I've had from them.


Taste		ON Gold Standard 100% Whey is definitely my Post work-out protein (within 10 mins of ending the workout) The tastes have been rated for a few of them, by far the best have been Double Rich Choco, Caramel Toffee Fudge, and Mocha Cappuccino.
Value for money		For the price - absolute best blend of Whey, BCAA and Glutamine money can buy.
Ingredient profile		but traded that for the MusclePharm Combat powder - you can check my profile to see its review!


Taste		In terms of flavor, rocky road is my all time favorite.
Taste		It tastes like the black forest cake and I can taste cherries and chocolate.
Taste		I also prefer this brand because it offer 3 supplements in one: tasty and good quantity of whey protein, glutamine and BCAA, so the price works for me.
Mixes well		The brand is my favorite protein powder; it mixes well with either water or milk and with a very cold milk and a blender, it takes another level: creamy milkshake.
Value for money		I also prefer this brand because it offer 3 supplements in one: tasty and good quantity of whey protein, glutamine and BCAA, so the price works for me.


Taste		I am just going to rate the taste of this product and it's amazing!


Taste		Best taste.
Mixes well		Best mixability.


Taste		It mixes perfectly and tastes amazing.

Taste		I normaly buy the Milk Chocolate flavor and really like it, this is the first time I tried the Double Rich Chocolate flavor and it has a strong chemical taste to it that I never noticed with he Milk Chocolate.
Mixes well		mixes great and I am happy with the price and amount of protein per serving.
Value for money		mixes great and I am happy with the price and amount of protein per serving.


Taste		Taste = bland (not chocolatey enough)
Value for money		however I rate 9 bc the great value 24 g of protein per scoop , scoop is Small too so thats great value 4 your $$ I shld of went with mocha tho im too lazy to exchange it so i'll mix with choc.


Taste		It has a GREAT taste and little to no sugar or fillers.
Taste		Great Product and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a great protein powder that tastes just as good in water as it does milk.


Taste		Perfect protein plenty of servings and quality all rolled into a good price I prefer it in milk over water mostly for taste

Taste		I've also tried their chocolate flavor as well and the above can be said for that as well.
Taste		On top of the good solubility Optimum Gold Standard also tastes great and has a good blend of nutrients with a really low amount of sugar per serving!
Mixes well		Their protein powder is very fine and dissolves very efficiently which is a huge plus for me since I hate choking down protein globs.


Taste		After 2 years I finally found the perfect protein based on cost, taste, mixability, name, and recognition.

Taste		The Double Rich Chocolate is not that intense chocolate flavour impression the name gives and expected flavour to have.
Taste		Taste rating: 6/10.
