Mixes with a spoon, goes down smooth, tastes good considering it's so low in sugar and fat, digests easily (no gas), and it doesn't contain anything you don't need. I take it 3 times daily: once mid-morning, once after my afternoon core exercise, and once after my 1.5 mile swim. I've seen strong improvements in muscle quantity and tone, and an improvement in the health of my fingernails and cuticles. I had problems after drastically cutting calories to get rid of excess weight: the body likes to burn amino acids before its fat stores because they're easier to convert to glucose. The protein also helps with the gnawing hunger from the dieting.
My only complaint is that this stuff is so expensive for what amounts to a waste product from cheese manufacturing. But it is cheaper than most meats.

The best thing I can say is it mixes and cleans up easily. The trade off is consistency like water even if mixed with skim milk, and bland taste, so much so its tough to finish drinking. Worse, I haven't noticed good results with it, and it doesn't help reduce hunger. A competing product has been better for me in every one of those ways except ease of mixing and clean up, but a blender bottle helped that. This is not a product I'd buy again.
Comments about Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey, Double Rich Chocolate:
This is by far my favorite protein powder. I like the vanilla flavor best. Its low in fat and cholesteral compaired to most others and a serving is one scoop not 2 like most others. I mix with nonfat milk, a bananna and a spoon full of peanut butter and it tastes great after a workout! Iv been buying this here for years but not sure why DS raised their price on this all of a sudden. Its Cheaper anywhere else!
Comments about Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey, Double Rich Chocolate:
Don't listen to other reviews, this stuff tastes just fine. I mix 2 scoops, a cup of milk, two handfuls of ice in a blender and it is as good as any I have tried. Since it is "double chocolate", it does have more chocolate than others I've tried. Something to look forward to after a good workout. No artificial aftertaste, but I would appreciate a more natural sweetener on the ingredients list. Also, wait for a promotion/sale and stock up.
Comments about Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey, Double Rich Chocolate:
This is bar none the best protein powder on the market. It has all that you need, and none of what you don't need. Don't mess with the pre-made shakes, get this one, mix it with frozen fruit, and enjoy. Low fat, high protein, just awesome. Enjoy!
Comments about Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey, Double Rich Chocolate:
the taste is bad, and it is not as thick a shake as the gnc gold whey that ive been using. matter of fact i wouldnt even call it a shake, even with 6oz or less per scoop its still very watery. but then again i dont buy this stuff for the taste. other than that it seems like a good product.
Comments about Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey, Double Rich Chocolate:
I am diabetic. I started taking this due to it's low carbs and potential weight loss benefits. I take this in milk with a tablespoon of peanut butter. It's wonderful. I have lost 15 lbs in the last 3 weeks taking this for breakfast and occasionally as a snack (in addition to other dietary changes). My blood sugar is minimally effected by this, and it fills me up for at least 3 to 4 hours. I will be ordering this again, it is the best tasting protein drink I have ever taken.
Comments about Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey, Double Rich Chocolate:
This prouduct is great! I noticed I wasnt as sore after a work out. The taste isnt great. I had to choke it down the first time. Just plug your nose as you drink it thats what I do.
Comments about Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey, Double Rich Chocolate:
This is the best whey product out there barnone. This used to cost $40 or less. Great value but Drugstore.com is now selling it for [$]??!!! That is whey too much! I prefer the old version which is the one pictured here but i'm sure you'll get the new and improved one. You can buy this somewhere else cheaper even with their GoldCard.
Blender - (Easy: a little more involved but worth the trouble) Add one scoop of ON 100% Whey Gold Standard to a blender filled with 6-8 fl oz of your favorite beverage. Cover and blend for 20-30 seconds. Add 1-2 ice cubes then blend for an additional 30 seconds. Serve. For a delicious smoothie, try adding your favorite fruit, peanut butter, yogurt, shredded coconut, and/or other ingredients (along with ice cubes) to your blended whey protein shake.
Shaker - (Easier: Quick & Convenient) Fill a shaker bottle with 6-8 fl oz of your favorite beverage. Add one scoop ON 100% Whey Gold Standard. Cover and shake for 25-30 seconds. Enjoy. If
