Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Natural 100% Whey Reviews

This stuff tasted absolutely horrible and it stinks really bad. I force myself to drink it before work outs because I wasted $47. There is no way I can drink it after work outs or I will throw up. Right now I am using it to make protein bars. Haven't tried them yet, but hopefully they are not as bad as the drink. I had the chocolate whey and it was great. Also have the french vanilla casein and it was really good. Thats why I don't get why this vanilla protein tastes so ungodly bad. If I could get my money back I would. ON needs to get taste testers or some kind of focus groups. This product is unacceptable.*

Awesome product great tasting *

Here is my new sludge recipe: about 40-45g of frozen berries left in a cup for about an hour to defrost, then put in a scoop of casein and gradually add milk (if bulking) or water (if cutting) stirring it to a desired consistence. Put into a freezer for 30 minutes.*

Great taste. Would recommend. But personally i think i prefer the taste of regular ON whey protein (black bottle). *

Ah, and one more tip: It definitely better dilutes in room temperature milk. I normally put milk into a blender 2-3 hours before workout and leave it outside or a fridge but if you forgot to do so and you have a milk directly from a fridge shake REALLY HARD while blendind and you'll be fine.*

Good product i tried it, recomended product*

Amazing gains! I bought 2 5lb tubs of this protein and love it! The choc flavor is on point and the cookies is delicious! Mixes well with no clumps. Will buy again!*

Last time I've accidentally ordered a not naturally flavoured (red label) one and have realized how much naturally flavoured is better. Not too sweet, larger powder grain (not sprayed around the kitchen when applied) and no palm oil (in protein? what for?). Definitely will stick to naturally flavoured one.**

I've been using it for years. Great product.*

good taste and it has stevia.*

Just started with it so I can not judge an effect but at least chocolate taste is absolutely fine, same as a cool cocoa drink you will get from a grocery. Dilution is almost instant.*

Super test end very good chois*

Super produkt and very good chois*

My lady is hooked on this protein as it is natural and has really helped her build muscle. I also like this whey *

Same with the natural casein. Less ingredients and it tastes good *

This is my go to if I run low or out of my MP grass fed whey. Has helped me a lot*

No sucralose or carrageenan. Very important if you do not want to have stomach issues. Mixes well tastes great.*

Easy to mix. Tates pretty good.*

Gold standard is always on top of proteins!*

These are not the most flavorful protein powders but they are natural so I was not expecting too much. I feel awesome after I drink this and I will keep buying more*

Mixes well, tastes pretty good for a natural whey. Great for cutting. Results are good so far. Mixes with water still a good taste*

This is the best nature protein it have big benfits*

Best whey EVER....PERIOD. Just refuse anything else. No fake flavors or chemicals.*

Excellent product I recommend to everyone*

The flavor is litter bitter, but not bad. All in all its a nice natural product. No artificial flavors, no sweetners*

My favourite! No unhealthy artificial suggar and flavour. No problem for a sensitive stomach either. *

Takes ok. Don't feel bloated after*

Great protein being using this for many years *

Great tasting natural protein powder (Chocolate flavor). Would be better if the price was a little lower.*

Tastes great and no artificial crap. Blend with unsweetened coconut/almond milk, a few frozen strawberries and half a banana. Perfect!  *

I am very happy I went the natural route as I feel better than ever after I take this during the day. The flavor is not very strong but that is to be expected without using anything artificial*

This is my go to protein. Great for post workout and anytime!*

I've been using ON gold standard whey protein powder for a long time, but this is the first "Natural" one that I've tried. It tastes quite good (I got the chocolate flavor), and mixes as well as the regular kind. I appreciate how their aren't any chemical flavorings or artificial sweeteners. However, I was disappointed to see that (on the container I received in the mail) it does not list "Aminogen", when the picture they provide on this site of the "Gold Standard Natural Whey: Chocolate" labels it as an ingredient in this product. Perhaps it's not natural and they took it out at a later time, but I checked to make sure it had Aminogen in there and wouldn't have purchased this product if I knew it would not be included. Aminogen is an enzymatic product that helps to break down protein, which is important in a protein heavy diet because the body struggles to digest excess protein. So without the Aminogen, this product could be less efficient in protein digestion (and consequently absorption), as well as cause some digestive distress or discomfort. Don't get me wrong, I love ON and have been using their products for a long time, but if they could put back the Aminogen in this product or something else that has the same enzymatic function, I would greatly appreciate it. I would recommend this product to others, but with a side note to make sure that everything you want from your protein powder is included and on the label.*

Pretty good stuff easy to mix. Thin not thick.*

Does not taste as good, but it still mixes well! *

Good product with good flavor.*

This (or natural Oats and Whey) are my favorites when buying protein. No artificial flavors or sweeteners is the main draw for me, and it tastes very good.*

I have absolutely no idea why all the other proteins use artificial chemical sweeteners. This is the only one that doesn't and it tastes awesome. Don't these other companies get it. Your body literally doesn't know how to break that garbage down.*

The chocolate is by far the best flavor. Strawberry was alright but it left a bad aftertaste. This is one of the best proteins out there that don't cost an arm and a leg.*

I'm a newbie to this whole strength training thing, so I don't have anything to compare this to, but this is a great tasting product. It also mixes really well, and the fact that it's all natural is a huge bonus. There's only a slight after taste that keeps me from giving it a 5 star rating.*

One of the best proteins that you can buy with the least amount of artificial crap you don't need.*

More of the proteins should get on board and realize we don't want artificial sweeteners and body builders don't need to pinch every calorie just to have a chemical sweetener.*

Taste is just fine. Knowing that it doesn't have any of the artificial garbage in it make it taste that much better.*

Not as tasty as some others, but I like that fact that's it uses natural sweeteners, etc.*

This protein is full of good ingredients, low calories and fat and to top it off it tastes great!*

This is by far my all time favorite protein. One of the few without artificial sugar/flavor. I wish there were coffee flavor too since chocolate gets boring after a couple of years.*

Tastes great with milk or when using to cook with. Mixes well without the gritty texture.*
