Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder, Rocky Road, 5 Pound (Packaging May Vary)

First off, I'd like to say that I'm not a nutritionist, or a health nut / fitness bro. Just a regular dude who eats right and works out / runs a few times a week. That being said, this is a great Whey Powder and I am very subscribed to this brand alone. I used to use Muscle Milk Protein Powder, but under the advice of my friend (who is a health/lifestyle adviser) I dropped the MM Brand and switched to ON. To keep it short and sweet, I will list some things to note followed by my personal experience / tips with using this great product. Things I've Noticed: 1. ON Brand has a much more basic ingredient list, with no nonsense or 'padding' to increase their profits. It's mostly Whey Protein, and a few other things for taste and texture. 2. Speaking of taste and texture, this stuff is the real deal. I've only tried two flavors so far, Rocky Road and Strawberry, but they are both excellent. The flavor is very light and palatable, in the sense that you can go through the 5 pound tub without getting sick of the flavors and having to choke them down. It's also not sludgy at all, it mixes so easily you could probably use a spoon, though I use a Blender Bottle. The powder is extremely fine and flour-y when compared to my past protein powder choices. 3. It also doesn't clump together after initial blending. For example. I'll pre-mix my drink before I leave for work at 2:00, and I store it in the cooler until 6:00 or 7:00 and it is just as new. 4. The only downside I've noticed about ON is the price. It is a little pricey at just under 60 dollars for 5 pounds, but I think that with something you put in your body to support your health, it is better this way than to settle for inferiority. Personal Tips: So, in my few months of using ON Brand, I've also found that it does wonders in the mornings when you need a quick protein shot but don't have the time. Often on these mornings, I will mix the whey powder into shakes / smoothies. Like I said, I've only used the two flavors, but here are the smoothies I make with them if you are interested: Strawberry -> 1.5 Cups Whole Milk, 1 Banana, 4 - 6 Strawberries, 3 Ice Cubes, Strawberry ON Powder Chocolate PB Banana -> 1.5 Cups Whole Milk, 1 Banana, 2 - 3 Tbsp. Peanut Butter, 3 Ice Cubes

This is the best Protein powder you can get, no uncertainty and let me clarify you why. On the off chance that you need a decent tasting thing and that is your first need at that point get one of those Wendy's or McDonalds' shakes. That is to say, is that basic. Try not to be so meticulous about the taste when you are expending a Protein Shake. The business has propelled a ton throughout the years and the powders show signs of improvement and better with the time, so quit crying. Presently, on the off chance that regardless you are into that taste and everything else comes next, at that point search for another item that has more immersed fat, more sugar, more straightforward carbs, less protein per scoop (not exactly the great .79 oz of Protein for every oz of powder, a hollering 79%) and that isn't 100% whey. Try not to misunderstand me, despite everything I think this powder tastes extraordinary, it's simply not THE best taste out there (but rather who knows, possibly for you it is) yet the advantages beat that. I have attempted the twofold rich chocolate, the vanilla flavor, the strawberry season and the treats and cream. They all taste great to me, particularly on the off chance that you know how to set them up. The measure of calories marginally from flavor to season (close to 10 calories for each scoop) however we should take for instance, the twofold rich chocolate. 1 scoop has 120 calories, 10 from fat, a base measure of carbs and 24 grams of Whey protein. In the event that you don't have the foggiest idea, Whey protein is the most regarded sort of protein there is (with the white egg protein) since your body utilizes it altogether, dissimilar to different kinds of protein that may move toward becoming muscle versus fat if there's insufficient physical action. The cost is amazing as well. Regardless of whether you are a weight lifter, jock, some individual that needs to develop muscles or possibly some person on an eating routine to kill that midsection, you know how costly sustenance can be amid the month. A Shake after exercise there, a bar over yonder, entire wheat bread, natural products, and so forth. In the event that spending additional cash doesn't influence that is fine yet in the event that you once in a while need to deal with your own spending then the value gives you another motivation to pick 100% Whey.

Initially, when I tried this protein, I had a rather unpleasant experience and thought I might have a problem with it. I even had a close call with my toilet due to an upset stomach. However, as it turned out, the culprit was likely some expired sausages I had consumed earlier. I've been using this protein for a month now, and I can confidently say that it has been nothing short of fantastic. Not only has it not caused any digestive issues, but it has also helped me achieve my fitness goals. My muscles feel more toned, and I have noticed a significant increase in my energy levels during workouts. The taste is great, and it blends smoothly into my shakes without any clumps. I appreciate the quality and effectiveness of this protein, and I will continue to include it in my daily routine. It's safe to say that my initial scare was just a misunderstanding, and I highly recommend this protein to anyone looking to boost their fitness journey!

Best flavor ever. It honestly feels like I’m drinking a chocolate milkshake every time. Great taste, smooth texture, and makes it easy to look forward to getting my protein in. Definitely my favorite flavor so far.

Shopping for whey? The first question you should ask yourself is what's more important to you, taste or results? Hopefully the lot of you chooses the latter. However if you chose the former I wouldn't recommend this product and would instead recommend "Syntrax" nectar protein. That stuff literally tastes as good as Koolaid. I have been taking Gold standard Whey for about 6 months and I have appeared to have gotten better results. I know for sure my arms have grown in size. As far as taste goes, a majority them taste OKAY, but nothing thus far has been amazing. I will update my reviews as I try more flavors. ****Note**** I drink my protein with water only so it may or may not taste better with milk/almond milk. Chocolate Mint - 6.5 out of 10. After suffering through a 5 lb tub of Cake Batter I next tried Chocolate Mint. I would say the of the flavors I have mentioned thus far this is my favorite. The chocolate flavor is definitely more pronounced than the mint, which is subtle. Rocky Road - 6 out of 10. For me Rocky Road was a tad better than tolerable. It definitely wasn't scrumptious or anything, but I thought it was much better and sweeter tasting than chocolate malt. Chocolate Malt - 5 out of 10. I couldn't say this tasted like a chocolate malt truthfully. It tastes about as close to a chocolate malt as the bubble gum flavored medicine did back in the day. There are worst flavors though. Cookies and Cream - 4 out of 10. I thought the flavor was slightly tolerable. There are small granules that I suppose act as the replacement cookies in this. Sometimes you notice them, sometimes you don't. That was really the only unique thing about this flavor. French Vanilla Creme - 4 out of 10. I thought overall the flavor was slightly tolerable, but definitely wasn't one of the better tasting ones. Also wasn't the worst so I guess that's something right? I will say it definitely was closer to an actual French Vanilla Creme flavor than Cake batter was. Cake Batter - 1 out of 10. Not sure what cake-batter flavor they were trying to replicate here, but they swung and missed greatly with this attempt. I would say the initial taste was slightly tolerable, but the impending aftertaste is horrendous. I would liken the aftertaste to soap. Unfortunately I just bought a 5lb canister of this flavor. My goodness this is going to be a LONG wait till I finish this off.

This is my first time buying the protein powder in a long time, but definitely not my first time overall. Let's start with flavors. Here are the ones I've tried: Double chocolate - Okay. Enough chocolatyness. Not too sweet, not too choco imo. Vanilla - Tastes oddly like coffee creamer. I used to use it with coffee as a result whenever I needed a quick start to my day. Rocky Road - Super choco. I can see it being overwhelming for some people. I personally don't like it so I just chug it down. One consistent thing I've noticed with ON whey powder and the reviews is that the flavors are never that great but never horrible either. In the end, it won't matter if you just chug it. Now for how well it works: My best example would be the summer I spent working out 6 days a week on average. My workout consisted of: 3 days lifting, 3 days hard cardio. Every lifting day had 10+ min of medium cardio to begin, ab work, and finally free-weight based lifts that targeted 2 muscle groups. My hard cardio days consisted of 1-2 miles of swimming (usually nonstop), HIIT on a rowing machine, or HIIT on a bike. Sometimes I'd switch it up and throw in racquetball or something. Throughout the three months, I took this and BELDT (now I believe it's SKALD) every day as directed. I ate fairly clean, too. In that time, I went from 160 pounds or so to 185 pounds in good weight. I went from benching 80lbs to start to 155lbs, 120lbs to 180lbs at 4x8 for deadlifts, 120lbs to 200lbs or so for squats. I realize they're not really spectacular numbers, but the overall #gainz I made were more than what I wanted/expected. I was at a healthy, lean 185 by the end of it all (for reference, I am 5' 8" and had an athletic past but have an average present). As such, I think this is one of the best budget whey isolate powders you can buy. I haven't tried much else, but this brand has always done wonders for me, and I plan to stick to ON until I find a better brand. Keep in mind, though, that just because it works for me it necessarily doesn't mean it will work for you.

I always buy ON whey. I prefer the gold standard whey over the isolate, even though the isolate has a few more grams of protein per scoop. I've had several different flavors, and I like to try something different each time. I was not a fan of the vanilla shake, it reminded me of cake batter ice cream..I love cake batter ice cream, but I was expecting it to taste more like plain vanilla, and I just dont like the idea of drinking cake batter, so I wont be buying that flavor again. I really like the Chocolate Malt flavor and I think that's my favorite so far. I most recently purchased Rocky Road because of the rave reviews. I definitely really like it. I usually drink it with water, although it honestly doesn't taste very much like the ice cream flavor if you mix it with water. If you mix it with milk, it tastes AWESOME and very similar to the ice cream. However, I usually use water for various reasons and so I don't love it quite as much as I would otherwise. It has a weird aftertaste (with the water) and I don't really know how to describe its general flavor, other than very "artificial"... I feel the need to chug it to "get it over with" because I dont really enjoy the rocky road flavor that much (unless it's with milk, but I dont usually use milk). Chocolate malt tastes good with water or milk, same with Double chocolate. As always, this protein blends super easily with water or milk, I always use a shaker cup so I have no idea how easy it mixes with a regular cup and a spoon/fork, but probably easier than most other proteins in my experience. Never clumpy.

This would be my first time buying protein powder for myself, so my expectations weren’t very clear. Let me tell you that it tastes WAY better than I was expecting! The rocky road flavor isn’t over the top but it’s enough to mask the protein taste. If you’re trying protein powder for the first time I recommend this brand. It mixes very nicely and doesn’t leave big clumps behind. I haven’t had any digestion issues while drinking it. 10/10 I highly recommend, very quality product!

One sign of a good protein shake is that it's smooth and doesn't clog up when you add milk/water. This one also tastes amazing. I'm so glad I switched to ON. I just hope the price goes down a little since this box lasts only a month if you drink one shake a day. Pairing this with gym 6 days a week and intermittent fasting has lead me to lose about 1-1/5 kilos per week depending on what I e

Will never buy another protein supplement from anywhere else. Fastest delivery I have ever had. Literally got here in under 24 hours when I clicked 'order'. I bought rocky road and I have to say it was a great choice. I always bought strawberry which was ok, but tasted very watery. However Rocky road just tastes like a milkshake with 180ml of cold water. It mixes amazing, no gritty like texture when you're reaching the end of your shake, even when I mixed 5mg of creatine with it. So overall a very pleasant experience ordering from this company.

I've never been able to stick to a protein powder before because I usually don't enjoy the taste and have a hard time with mixing them. With 120,000 reviews it was hard to not give this product a try. I went with the Rocky Road flavour because of another detailed review that I read here, and I am not disappointed. I am looking forward to trying them all though. I purchased a Blender Bottle to mix my powder with, and it works incredibly. There are absolutely no clumps and mixes quickly in just a few shakes. The taste is great, not too sweet, and I like that it mixes well into other products that I can't necessarily shake. I've been adding this to my Greek Yogurt for breakfast every morning and it's been delicious. I thought it came with no scoop for the first few days, until I dug around to the bottom. The scoop is indeed in there. Edit: I'm coming back to this one six months later. I just wanted to mention that I did indeed get tired of the rocky road. It wasn't bad, but I've realized that I really hate the way chocolate protein tastes (of any kind/brand) despite loving chocolate. I gave the remainder of this flavour away to a friend. However, I did then try the Vanilla Ice Cream one and it's absolutely phenomenal. I love that it's a more neutral kind of taste and I can add it into all kinds of stuff more easily like cookies or pancakes. At first I didn't notice the sweetness, but after dialing in on my diet a little better and cutting out most of my sugars, I am finding it to be a little sweet. But that being said, it makes for a great Sweet Treat I don't have to feel too guilty about post-workout. I ended up picking up the bulk package on sale somewhere local and the value for money was incredible.

Ich habe nun schon einige Whey Proteine anderer Hersteller probiert und bin immer wieder reumütig zum Optimum zurück gekehrt. Ich denke über die Inhaltsstoffe sowie den eklatant hohen Eiweissgehalt brauche ich hier keine Romane zu schreiben. Das das Optimum eines der besten Whey Proteine auf dem Markt ist, sollte bekannt sein. Löslichkeit wie bei allen anderen Geschmacksrichtungen auch hier Top! Ich persönlich mag den Geschmack von Rocky Road sehr! Keine Spur synthetisch. Schokolade und Amaretto dominieren im Mund; den Nachgeschmack empfand ich leicht Marzipanartig. Sehr angenehm. Ich mache mein Whey immer in Milch, weil ich den Geschmack einfach lieber mag als mit Wasser. Der Rocky Road kommt einem konventionellen Milchshake in Geschmack und Konsistenz so nahe wie bisher kein anderes Produkt. Es mag dem ein oder anderen von Euch vielleicht etwas teuer vorkommen; aber bedenkt bitte immer....man bekommt das, was man bezahlt! Im guten, wie im schlechten Sinn. Absolut zu empfehlen!!!
