Flavor Name:Natural Vanilla|Size Name:5 lb
The Optimum brand has a decent price, is all natural, and the taste is good when measured correctly. Too much is too sweet and too little is too bland if you're adding simply to water. It mixes very smoothly in straight water/milk or as a shake additive and it provides my muscles with the fuel they need post workouts. Their chocolate flavor is pretty good as well if you're not pleased with the vanilla. I usually take to shakes a day, one about an hour before working out - I also add frozen berries and plain yogurt for energy with water and 4 grams of L-Arginine powder for muscle gains, growth etc -L Arginine (1 Kg) (2.2 Lbs) Bulk Powder. Out of all the amino acids, L-Arginine is my favorite. It actually pumps more blood into the muscles during workouts so muscle pumps are bigger and more importantly work outs are more intense. Glutamine is also an essential one to building muscle and this is another reason I like Optimum, they include the glutamine in the protein. When taking into account taste, quality, and price optimum gold protein is some of the best out there.

Flavor Name:Strawberry| Size Name:2 lb|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've purchased this protein powder twice. I got the Gold Standard Natural Chocolate flavor the first time around and struggled with the taste (I mix it with water). I got used to it after awhile, but I never looked forward to my post-workout shake. My office-mate, who does personal training on the said, told me to try strawberry next time. I was skeptical, I thought the strawberry would taste too artificial (despite the "natural" label), but I decided to take a chance since the strawberry qualified for Prime shipping and the chocolate did not. What a difference! It reminded me of Strawberry Quik, but even better tasting! To find a protein powder that tastes great mixed solely with water is huge in my opinion!
I also like that this product is natural with no artificial sweeteners.

Optimum Nutrition 100% Natural Vanilla Gold Standard Whey Protein

Flavor Name:Natural Vanilla| Size Name:5 lb|Amazon Verified Purchase
This product seems ok so far. I'm by no means an expert on health supplements, but I took the advice of someone who seems to know a lot about bodybuilding who suggested this product. If you're interested in this product, and health and fitness generally, check this guy out, scooby1961 is his YouTube account name. He has a website and many videos full of helpful nutrition and exercise information. No, I'm not in any way related nor do I know him personally, I'm just a member of his audience. He recommended this whey protein as it is 100% natural, something he points out is preferrable. I enjoy the taste and flavor, I went with vanilla because I don't just drink this with milk or water, I put it with other ingredients in the blender and make shakes or smoothies, whatever you might call them. I'll do 1 cup fat free milk, 1/2 cup fat free plain yogurt, two teaspoons artificial sweetner, about 1 cup ice, 140 grams (recommended serving size) of frozen fruit that I defrost in the microwave about 1 minute to blend well, and finally 1 scoop of this protein powder. This makes 4-5 cups and between 355 and 385 calories, no fat. I have been using this as my first meal of the day for about 5 weeks now, so far so good. I realize this is probably more info than anyone reading this might have been after, but I thought I'd include for the heck of it, maybe it's helpful for someone out there. Take care.

High quality stuff
The natural chocolate taste is the best I've tried, with no artificial sweetener aftertaste. It mixes well. Only downside is it's frequently out of stock on Amazon :(

Tastes good!
I've previously bought the chocolate natural whey, and I like them both. The strawberry has a lighter taste, for sure, but both seem like good, solid products. Read more
