The Bigger Picture of Whey Whey Protein Isolates are 90% pure protein by weight. They are the purest and most expensive form of whey protein that exists. That's why they are the first ingredients you read on the 100% Whey Gold Standard™ label. By using Whey Protein Isolates as our primary protein source, we're able to pack 24 grams of the purest, muscle-building protein per serving, and a lot less of the fat, cholesterol, lactose, and other stuff that you can do without. There's no question this is the standard by which other whey proteins are measured.

Comments about Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey, Double Rich Chocolate:
First time using this product. Tastes good, not chalky. Mixes easily in a shaker cup. I mix it with milk and have 3 shakes a day preferably after a meal. I alternate with Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Casein shakes due the slower absorption rate. Two per day, mixed the same way as the Whey - also tastes great but slightly thicker. Drink them both fast. Should have bought the larger size. This is THE best selling Whey protein at [@].

I use this product as a supplement to my protein intake. It doesn't add extra unneeded calories. I can consume it with water, and it tastes great. It is a key ingredient in my diet. It makes me feel a lot fuller between meals. When I work out, the soreness is minimal, which allows me to keep the same intensity in my cardio. I am trying to lose 20 lbs, and this product has helped me stay on track.

That means if you forgot your shaker cup or don't have time to get out the blender, you can just add 1 rounded scoop of 100% Whey Gold Standard™ to a glass filled with 6-8 oz. of water, nonfat milk, or your favorite beverage. Then mix it up with a spoon. Stir for about 20 seconds or until powder is completely dissolved.

Just add one rounded scoop of 100% Whey Gold Standard™ to your shaker cup and then pour in 6-8 oz. of your preferred beverage. Cover and shake for 25-30 seconds. Tip: Mixing one scoop with 6-8 fl. oz. of nonfat milk instead of water will give you a thicker, creamier shake.

Shake up your shake: By adding a few high-energy ingredients to your shake you can blend up a delicious meal: try adding try adding fresh or frozen fruits (strawberries, bananas, etc.), peanut butter, flaxseed oil, unflavored yogurt, coconut, slivered almonds, or other ingredients. Stack Your Shake: By adding other supplements, including creatine, glutamine, taurine (e.g. CGT10), and/or BCAA powders you can make 100% Whey Gold Standard™ an even more powerful post-workout recovery product.
Suggested use: Consume approximately 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day through a combination of high protein foods and protein supplements. For best results, consume your daily protein allotment over several small meals spread evenly throughout the day.
