Product Information

No one wants a delicious flavor at the start of a sip only to be left with a weird flavor lingering afterward. And considering whey protein is derived from dairy, the aftertaste can be pretty gnarly with some products. We chose powders that delivered a delightful first sip, all the way to the bottoms-up finish. Solubility

Vanilla is a staple flavor — it mixes well with other ingredients in a smoothie and can even add some sweetness to plain Greek Yogurt or oatmeal. But considering Optimum Nutrition makes several vanilla flavors (French Vanilla Creme and Vanilla Ice Cream), we had to give both a try. We tried them all and decided that Extreme Milk Chocolate is the best flavor. It’s a crowd pleaser, it’s robust, and it tastes great with water. For those more inclined toward vanilla, Vanilla Ice Cream is the best option. It actually tastes a lot like melted ice cream, and again, tastes great with water. What is Gold Standard whey?This took a whole lot of time and testing and tasting and anabolism to get right, but we’re confident in this list of the best and most underrated Gold Standard flavors. With that said, there are a few factors you may want to consider before you buy. Your Daily Diet

Oh boy, where do I even begin with this Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder? It's a serious dilemma - it's just so darn tasty that we couldn't help ourselves, and suddenly we were out of it faster than you can say "gains!" After training, your body uses protein to help repair and rebuild muscle fibres. Gold Standard Whey delivers 24g of whey protein and 5.5g of naturally occuring BCAA's to support muscle growth, and 4g of glutamine and glutamine acid to reduce muscle soreness. There’s a reason why peanut butter cups are the superior chocolate (at least in our opinion) — It’s hard to go wrong with Chocolate Peanut Butter flavors. Chocolate and peanut butterare just a wonderful pairing and whey protein powder is no exception. Peanut butter alone is delicious, don’t get us wrong, but the spread isn’t exactly sweet. And when a savory whey protein powder doesn’t sound ideal. Related: Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Casein Review — Most Popular Brand? ] What To Consider Before Buying

The thing with White Chocolate is that this flavor is a bit more expensive to produce, so it’s only available in the larger five-pound tubs. That means a lot of people overlook it, but we consider it the most underrated flavor. After a few sips, we thought French Vanilla Crème was fine.We worked our way through a tub of it and while we didn’t hate it, once again, we found it too mild. It does a decent job of flavoring your milk but in water, it doesn’t exactly stand out. On the other hand, the Vanilla Ice Cream has a richer, more robust, and sweeter flavor that does indeed taste like melted-down vanilla ice cream. Customers loved the richness, too. “I got the vanilla ice cream one and it is delicious,”one five-star reviewer writes. “[It] blends well — I usually use my immersion blender, but it does ok just being shaken!” But here's the catch – the more you love it, the faster you run out of it. It's a classic case of "too good for our own good." We went through tubs of this stuff faster than a hot knife through butter. It's like a protein "Hunger Games" – every sip was a battle to ration, but we couldn't resist the temptation.
