Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder, Strawberry Banana, 2 Pound (Packaging May Vary)

Holy smokes strawberry banana is amazing. If you want to know what it taste like try the strawberry banana core power protein drink and it taste just like that. I like to mix mine with 2% milk and put a few ice cubes in it as it is really good ice cold. Taste just like ice cream! Blend a banana in it and OMG. Trying to get 1 g per pound is tough so I find myself drinking 4 to 6 of these a day, especially first thing in the morning, after working out and before bed. You can get a 5.5lb bag at C0$tco for $55 if you want the next value but they only carry vanilla and chocolate.

I just recieved my order less than 24 hours ago and I couldn't wait to give this product a try. I was doing soo much research on which Whey protein to use in order for me to gain muscle and help with muscle recovery after my long workouts at the gym. I came across this and a few others but I wanted to give this a chance. I bought the flavor Strawberry banana and let me say it did not disappoint AT ALL. It was delicious very smooth and blended really well with my Oat Milk. I also added some banana and frozen strawberries to enhance the flavor some more and it was creamy and smooth.

The mix is very high quality mix of whey isolate and whey concentrate, and it has a better consistency than pure whey isolate products. I find in water that the flavor is quite poor (as it typically is for any protein powder), but it mixes well into juices, which is how I prefer to take my protein. It can also mix well with milk. The price is excellent for what you get. Don't be tricked into paying more for higher protein mixes. They usually just increase the serving size to add more protein, and the human body cannot anabolically use more than 30g of protein in one sitting -- anything more is just burned as energy. I've seen mixes with 50+g of protein in one serving, which in reality would only give you ~6g more than this mix.Having tried several flavors, here is how I review each:Strawberry-bananaThis one has a distinct, very artificial flavor that is kind of unpleasant. I don't recommend it. When I drank this I would only drink it mixed into a fruit/vegetable juice, which masked the flavor somewhat. I give this flavor 2/5 stars.Vanilla ice creamThis really tastes like vanilla ice cream, with a very vanilla-like smell. This also mixes well into vegetable juices, but is also great in milk, which makes it taste kind of like melted ice cream. Much better flavor than the strawberry-vanilla. I give this flavor 4/5 stars.Extreme milk chocolateSeriously tastes identical to a chocolate cocoa mix. You could mix this into hot water or milk and get hot cocoa, but with a big protein boost. A great flavor for drinking on its own in water or milk. I give this flavor 5/5 stars.

my personal favorite flavor and it still has red 40 so you know its good.

Tastes good with almond milk. Too expensive.

Awesome quality . Effectiveness, thickness, size , sugar content , texture starting using this I feel more energetic active and all muscles 💪 feel better and my stamina higher than before .

This stuff is great I mix with some real fruit and it taste great. Very filling. Fast shipping. I certainly will be ordering more In the futureThank you

I’ve tried several proteins, the ones that taste the best didn’t always produce the best results. The Strawberry/Banana not only tastes well, it provides some of the best results over the many others I’ve tried. I also have stomach issues, and this seems to not bother me me like other protein powders have.
