Sometimes slower is better - especially when it comes to the rate of protein digestion. While rapid protein absorption is desirable directly before or after exercise, delayed release is probably more beneficial throughout the remainder of the day and night time.
Casein proteins are pH sensitive and gel in the acidic environment of the stomach. As a result, it can take more than twice as long for caseins to be broken-down into their amino acid subcomponents than whey and other protein sources. Because of their unique time-released traits, caseins are aptly described as anti-catabolic or muscle-protecting proteins.
Casein protein is ideal for use in between meals and before bed. Casein protein is sometimes known as "night time" protein because it's ideal to have just before you go to bed.
Optimum Nutrition has you covered day and night. Try Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard before and immediately after workouts for a fast-acting rapid shot of amino acids right when you need it, and Optimum Nutrition 100% Casein Gold Standard between meals and before bed for prolonged, sustained coverage.

Using a shaker cup is the easiest and most convenient way to mix up a consistently great casein shake every time. Just add one heaping scoop of Gold Standard 100% Casein™ to a shaker cup filled with 10-12 oz of your preferred beverage. Cover and shake for 25-30 seconds. Tip: Adjust the flavor and texture of your Gold Standard 100% Casein™ shake by varying the amount of liquid you use to prepare it. For a bolder flavor with a slightly thicker body and more sweetness, mix one scoop with 8-10 oz of water, milk or your favorite beverage. For a thinner, milder tasting, less sweet shake, use 12-14 oz of liquid.
Blender: Add one heaping scoop of Gold Standard 100% Casein™ to a blender filled with 10-12 oz of water, milk, or your favorite beverage. Blend for 20-30 seconds. Then add 3-4 ice cubes and blend for an additional 30 seconds. Shake Up Your Shake: By adding fresh or frozen fruits, peanut butter, flaxseed oil, coconut and other ingredients, you can make an even more delicious shake. Stack Your Shake: Customize your Gold Standard 10% Casein shake by adding recovery products like creatine, glutamine and BCAA powders.
Spoon Stirred: If you forgot your shaker cup or don't have time to get out the blender, you can just add one heaping scoop of Gold Standard 100% Casein™ to a glass filled with 10-12 oz of cold water, milk or your favorite beverage. Then mix it up with a spoon for about 30 seconds or until powder is dissolved.
Suggested Use: Consume enough protein to meet your daily protein requirements through a combination of high protein foods and protein supplements. For the best results, consume your daily protein allotment over several small meals spread evenly throughout the day.
Use this product as a food supplement only. Do not use for weight reduction. Intended for use by healthy adults over the age of 18. Store in a cool, dry place.

Flavor: Creamy Vanilla
Tastes good, very thick. I eat this stuff all day. In the AM I put a spoonful in my decaf coffee - blends perfect, AM snack I stir in with my plain non-fat Greek yogurt. Post work-out 1/2 scoop ON Casein + whole scoop whey + skim milk, 1/2 a banana + ice . . . . in the blender it goes ==> tastes like an ice cream thick shake. Bottom line, great product & will continue to use.

Flavor: Creamy Vanilla
Calls to mix with 10-12 oz liquid, any less and its pudding. This stuffs thick! I usually stick to plain vanilla cause its the most versatile with smoothies and yogurt but this vanilla was a little off. To me it has a hint of coconut, almost like a pina colada and I dont like coconut. I mix with water now to not enhance flavor with milk, also use a blender stick to make it smooth. Quick chug before bed and Im full with good protein. Overall 4.5 stars because the stuff woks but taste is bad and Im mainly looking for performance.
Ted says:
Flavor: Banana Cream
I've been using ON Casein for a long time and I think I'll be sticking with it. It's not hard to mix and it's very thick, so it's not the easiest thing to drink, but it's very good. The Banana Cream flavor is my absolute favorite. I've also tried the Cookies & Cream and Vanilla flavors. They are pretty good, but the Banana Cream is supreme. This product is definitely worth checking out.
Kent says:
Flavor: Cookies & Cream
Two things you must know before taking any casein supplement is that
1. its gonna be thick unless you mix it with A LOT of liquid
2. the flavors arent that great
Ive tried a lot of brands and flavors. This protein is by far the best casein. Cookies and cream tastes like viscous, liquid Lucky Charms marshmallows. Not the greatest flavor in the world, but of the options, it is far superior.
It is also worth noting they make a "Chocolate Cake Batter" flavor, that is way better than the "Supreme Chocolate". This stuff, when made with milk, tastes like drinking brownie batter (yes still very thick, just much more pleasing chocolate taste). Its just really rare, as i have only found it on one website.
David says:
Flavor: Chocolate Peanut Butter
The taste is not the best, and it mixes okl. You do get a creamy product in the end which is not the easiest to consume. Definitely the taste of the chocolate/peanut butter taste like foot soup, but it is good bang for your buck. You do get a full feeling at nights and wake up feeling more anabolic the next day. Recommend, great bang for buck. As for taste.... well I guess it could be worse?

Flavor: Chocolate Peanut Butter
Great product but once again disappointed in flavor quality. The protein had a musty chocolate taste with a slight peanut shell flavor .... Really gross...
Jordan king says:
Flavor: Creamy Vanilla
First casein I've bought and will be the one I stick with. Keeps me full for hours and don't wake up feeling totally empty. Taste great, little thicker then other shakes but isn't a problem at all for me. I take mine down in a shaker bottle and comes out smooth'm big on ON products and this one didn't disappoint.

Flavor: Creamy Vanilla
First Casein Protein I have ever bought and the only one I will continue to buy. Though it is not the easiest to mix, it sure tastes awesome; exactly what I expected from Optimum Nutrition.
linedriver465 says:
Flavor: Banana Cream
This was the first casein protein I've ever tried. The price isn't too bad, slightly more than ON's whey, and the nutritional profile is also very solid. Unfortunately, if you mix the banana cream with only water, it initially tastes like banana, but has a strong artificial/chemically aftertaste. It also mixed quite thick, which I prefer. Try mixing with cottage cheese to cut the artificial flavor.
Katie says:
Flavor: Chocolate Supreme
Casein is a great weight loss product. I have been taking it before bed and it keeps my full for hours and has suck little calories. The slow digestion is great for night time recovery after log day of exercises/sport/training. The banana flavor is not good, but choc and vanilla are great!
