Pros: Easy to drink, smooth mix, solid protein content. Cons: Slightly artificial taste, can be sweet over time. Overall, great for daily use if you want a tasty, functional protein shake. Review: Why You Should buy It... - I've been using the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein in the Strawberry Banana flavor, and honestly, I've been really impressed with it. The flavor tastes great without being overly sweet, and it mixes smoothly with both water and milk without leaving clumps behind. One of the things I appreciate most is the quality. It gives me 24 grams of protein per serving, which makes it an easy way to increase my daily protein intake after workouts. I also haven't experienced any issues with mixing or taste, which isn't always the case with protein powders. It's a little more expensive than some other options, but in my opinion, the quality makes it worth the price. If you're looking for a reliable whey protein that tastes good and mixes well, I'd definitely recommend giving this one a try. ## Features - Packaging May Vary - New look, with the same trusted quality - GOLD STANDARD 100% WHEY PROTEIN– 24g blended protein consisting of whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, and whey peptides to support lean muscle mass – they don't call it the GOLD STANDARD of quality for nothing - ANY-TIME FORMULA – great before or after exercise, between meals, with a meal, or any time of day where you need extra protein in your nutrition - OVER 5G OF BCAAS – help build lean and strong muscles with naturally occurring BCAAs - INSTANTIZED – improves mixability to prevent lumps and clumps - BANNED SUBSTANCE TESTED – highest quality control measures so you feel comfortable and safe consuming the product ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002DYIZT4 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Allergen Information | Gluten Free, Milk, Soy | | Best Sellers Rank | #30 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #1 in Sports Nutrition Whey Protein Powders #2 in Sales & Deals | | Brand | Optimum Nutrition | | Brand Name | Optimum Nutrition | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 5,516 Reviews | | Diet Type | Gluten Free | | Flavor | Strawberry Banana | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00748927029864 | | Item Dimensions | 8.27 x 8.27 x 11.02 inches | | Item Highlight | 24g 100% Whey Protein Per Serving, with BCAAs, Gluten Free, Banned Substance Tested, Easy Mixing, Muscle Support & Recovery | | Item Weight | 2.27 kg | | Manufacturer | Glanbia Performance Nutrition | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1064650 | | Material Type Free | Gluten Free | | Model Name | Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Protein Powder, Pound | | Model Number | 1064650 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Type Name | Tub | | Product Benefits | Banned Substane Tested, Muscle Endurance, Muscle Growth, Muscle Recovery, Protein Support | | Protein | 24 g | | Protein Source | Whey | | Recommended Uses For Product | Post-Workout | | Servings per Container | 75 | | Total Servings Per Container | 75 | | UPC | 748927029864 | | Unit Count | 80 Ounce | | Vitamins And Minerals | 55 milligrams | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Optimum Nutrition - **Flavor:** Strawberry Banana - **Item Weight:** 2.27 kg - **Material Type Free:** Gluten Free - **Servings per Container:** 75 ## Images ![Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein Powder, Strawberry Banana, 5LB - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/711uZx94xML.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Flavor** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Body Fortress Super Advanced has 30 gr protein per scoop, and ON has 24 gr. what's the difference?** A: ON Gold Standard has a 31g serving size, and Body Fortress Super Advanced Isolate has a 38g serving size. Larger serving size = more protein. It's really as simple as that. It's got nothing to do with the "bro science" in some of the answers. To be sure, if you convert them to the same 31 gram serving size, then ON has 24 grams of protein, and Body Fortress has 24.5 grams of protein. Companies play around with the serving sizes so they can put "60 grams of protein!!!!!!" in the advertising, but if you do the math, then it's usually about the same amount. **Q: Will consuming more whey (protein) help my rotator cuff tear heal?** A: There is NO healing of a rotator cuff tear...none! This has to be surgically repaired. IF you're lucky, you may be able to have an endoscopic repair which takes much less time to recover. Otherwise, you will have to have a "full Open" repair which is much more involved and takes longer to heal. Trust me, I have been there...3 times all coming from very heavy benches and they were all "full open repairs." The first one I had was only a 1 centimeter tear and it never healed in 3 years. IF you have a true torn rotator cuff, NOTHING, (except surgery), will correct the problem. ANYBODY who tells you they had one and they did this and that and it finally healed up didn't have a tear to begin with. More likely just a bad strain or severe inflammation from overworking the deltoid area. And be prepared for lots of rehab work and it will take you from 9-12 months to get back to where you were before the tear. **Q: Is there a reason why the 5 lb is so much thicker than the 2 lb? i tried the 2 lb, liked it, and order 5...outside of jug seems the same...** A: Get something like an "AMIR 500g/0.01g Digital Kitchen Scale". They're twelve bucks & quite accurate. I suspect the powder is compressed, making the scoops a bit heavy. Measuring by weight instead of volume should provide more consistent results. **Q: If I were to make protein shakes with single serving size portions about 5 days/week, how long do you think a 2 lb container would last me? 5 lb? THX** A: I mean, my dude, i am horrifying at math but all you really need to do is look at the servings in each container. So 29 servings. .we already know there are 4 weeks in a month. 4×5 is 20 so that's 1 month right there. Since there is only 9 servings left... That's another week (5 days) and another week, all but one day (4 servings left) so a month and a half would be how long the smaller one would last you. If it's the 5lb pack. Simply double that ... 1 1/2 doubled is 3 months... (You still have 1 lb left, which we know, that from your 2 lb container, you get about 14 servings in a lb) (since 2 lbs is 29) which brings you to another 3 (almost) weeks. Making it almost 4 months of supplies. Offering the best offer for someone like you who has as many as you do (but your best bet may be going to Costco or another place with bulk bulk) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sweet, Smooth, and Reliable Protein Shake *by R***J on April 7, 2026* The Strawberry Banana flavor is sweet and smoothie like, with strawberry upfront and banana adding a creamy undertone.
