Review: Sticking with it - This is my third purchase of the product. I've been using this protein for several months and am very happy with it. It is a good quality protein which provides a higher than average amount of protein per serving whilst being low in fat and sugar, something that is important to people with diabetes, like me. Since March I've been on a high protein, calorie controlled diet and have lost almost 3 stones, and this product helped me a lot, though this is NOT a weight loss product. It is a product that makes it much easier for me to achieve my daily protein goals, amongst other things. It has no particular smell and mixes well with water; there is no lumpiness or powdery taste, though the consistency is bit too watery and thus, to me, it tastes a bit bland. I assume that with milk, it would taste creamier, but I never tried it. Since I am on this diet and in order to ensure I consume the nutrients that I need, I add frozen spinach, carrots, fresh fruits and some nuts and seeds to my shake. It tastes much better than on its own. I split it in half and consume it for breakfast and in the evening. On occasion, when I know that I will go swimming, I also add creatine and it is amazing how easier my swim and post swim recovery are when I consume this shake. I have used different protein shakes in the past, but this one is by far the best I tried, in terms of effectiveness and how it makes me feel, it is a good value for money and I intend to stick with it.
Review: The King of Whey: Best Mixability, Quality, and Naturally Occurring Muscle Fuel! - Why I Swear By It: After trying countless protein powders that were chalky, clumpy, or upset my stomach, I settled on ON Gold Standard years ago. It remains the #1 selling whey protein globally for a reason: it offers premium quality, great flavour, and legendary mixability, making it the perfect post-workout fuel. The Gold Standard Benefits (The Pros): Elite Protein Blend (WPI Focus): This powder utilizes a superior blend, primarily featuring Whey Protein Isolate (WPI), which is filtered for high purity, resulting in a protein-dense serving (around 24g per scoop) with less fat, sugar, and lactose. Unbeatable Mixability: This is its defining feature. It dissolves perfectly with just a few shakes in a standard shaker bottle—no clumps, no grit, and no need for a blender. It mixes seamlessly into water, milk, or even oatmeal. Naturally Occurring BCAAs and Glutamine: It provides over 5 grams of naturally occurring Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) per serving. These are the critical building blocks that quickly initiate Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS), meaning faster and more effective muscle recovery after tough training sessions. Effective Recovery: I consistently notice a quicker bounce-back and reduced muscle soreness when I use this immediately post-workout. It feeds the muscles exactly what they need, fast. Low in Unwanted Macros: It's kept consistently low in sugar (usually around 1-3g) and fat, ensuring you get maximum protein purity in every serving. Final Verdict: The Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey is, quite simply, the benchmark for performance, taste, and quality in the fitness world. If you want a protein powder that dissolves perfectly, tastes great, and provides the fast-acting, naturally complete amino acid profile your muscles demand, look no further. A reliable, high-quality, 5-star essential for muscle building and recovery.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tastes great and really helps with recovery after tough workouts
*by H***Z on 3 October 2025*

I’ve been using the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder for a couple of months now, and it has become a cornerstone of my fitness routine. I usually mix it with water or almond milk right after workouts, and it blends effortlessly without leaving any clumps, which is a huge plus compared to some other protein powders I’ve tried. The chocolate flavour I chose is rich and satisfying, not overly sweet, and it doesn’t leave a weird aftertaste, which makes it easy to drink every day. What really stands out is how my recovery has improved since starting it. My muscles feel less sore the next day, and I feel like I’m able to push a little harder during training sessions without overdoing it. I’ve also noticed that my gains in muscle definition are more consistent, which I attribute to having a reliable source of high-quality protein right after workouts. The packaging is sturdy and reseals well, keeping the powder fresh for a long time. The only thing to note is that if you’re lactose sensitive, it can be a little rich on the stomach, but for me it’s been fine. Overall, this protein powder is top-notch, mixes perfectly, tastes great, and genuinely supports muscle recovery and growth, making it worth every penny.
