So the flavor question. As I mentioned, each flavor has a different characteristic from the others. Some are bland, some taste sweet, some taste overly fake. We loved some, and we hated some. Below is a list based on what we like so far and why. Bear in mind that I hate diet drinks for their bad aftertaste. The drinks don't have to be sweet for me to like them, but I can't stand the garbage aftertaste of fake sweeteners.
The best flavors:
Rocky Road - By far the single best tasting flavor. The downside is that it does taste a little sweet. The nutritional value is right on with the other flavors, but it is a bit sweet. I could drink this all day. If you only buy one flavor, this is it. There is no real aftertaste, and the flavor is great.
Extreme Milk Chocolate - Another good flavor with almost no aftertaste. This one tastes like chocolate, and doesn't have a fake taste to it. If you are looking at the chocolate flavors, this one is perfect.
Natural Vanilla - This is a slightly different product, and it comes in a tub with yellow labeling instead of the red. It's on Amazon for the same price, and it has the same nutritional values. They claim it has less artificial sweeteners in it, hence the natural label. In any case, this is the best vanilla out there. There is no aftertaste, and it tastes like vanilla milk. It is not as sweet as the others, but it the single best vanilla flavor I've found.
The middle of the road flavors:
Cookies and Cream - This one is both good and bad. If you like the creamy vanilla taste, you will like the flavor. It doesn't have a bad aftertaste, but it is sort bland. It is sweet, but bland. Also, the cookie chunks in it don't dissolve. This is the only flavor so far that has bits of stuff that you are swallowing when you drink it. It's odd. That said, I have reordered it in the past.
Chocolate Malt - It's just OK. The flavor is a little odd because of the malt. Given the choice, just order the Extreme Milk Chocolate.
Caramel Toffee Fudge - Again, just OK. They tried too hit to many flavors with this one, and it just turned out odd. Not a bad flavor, but don't start out here. I got bored so I tried it. I doubt I'll order it again.
And the bad:
Double Rich Chocolate - This flavor sucks. It tastes like fake chocolate. Not good fake chocolate, but generic fake chocolate. It has that bad aftertaste of fake sweetener, and is all around not good.
Vanilla Ice Cream - Another swing and a miss. This flavor tastes like bad fake powdered milk. It has that bad aftertaste, and is probably the single worst flavor they have. If you are looking for vanilla, avoid this at all costs and get the Natural Vanilla.
Tropical Punch - Another fake tasting flavor. When I got this, I could barely get through the first few shakes. Eventually it grew on me a little bit, and I was able to drink it without hating it. It tastes like strawberry milk with a bunch of fake sweetener. It's just wrong, and is not something you want to drink after a workout.
I know that taste varies from person to person, so take this with a grain of salt. I hate the taste of fake sweetener, so this list draws from that. I've taken to buying the 2lb tubs to try out a flavor, and then going with the 5lb tubs if I like it. It costs a bit more that way, but it means there is only 2lbs to choke down if you get a flavor that you hate.
Enjoy!
Taste: Finding a protein powder that tastes good with just water can be a challenge, but the Delicious Strawberry flavor hits the mark. It's not overly sweet or artificial tasting, which is a significant plus. When mixed with almond milk or blended into smoothies, it's genuinely enjoyable, making it easy to look forward to my post-workout shake.
Mixability: One of the standout features of this whey protein is its mixability. It dissolves smoothly in both water and milk, without leaving any clumps or residues. Whether I'm using a shaker bottle or a blender, the result is always a smooth, easy-to-drink beverage. This ease of use enhances the overall experience and convenience.
Effectiveness: As for its core purpose—supporting muscle recovery and growth—I've noticed tangible benefits. My recovery times have improved, and I feel a noticeable difference in my muscle tone and strength since incorporating this protein powder into my routine. The high-quality protein content, including BCAAs and glutamine, certainly contributes to its effectiveness.
Value: With 5 pounds of protein powder, this tub offers a good number of servings, making it a cost-effective option for regular users. The quality of the product, combined with its taste and the reputable brand behind it, presents great overall value. It's an investment in my health and fitness that I feel good about.
Overall Experience: Optimum Nutrition's Gold Standard 100% Whey in Delicious Strawberry is more than just a protein supplement; it's a part of my daily nutrition that I actually enjoy. The commitment to quality is evident in every aspect, from flavor to functionality. Whether you're an athlete, a fitness enthusiast, or someone simply looking to add more protein to your diet, this product is a versatile and effective choice.
In conclusion, Optimum Nutrition lives up to its name, providing a gold standard product that supports fitness goals while pleasing the palate. The Delicious Strawberry flavor is a standout, proving that health and indulgence can go hand in hand. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a high-quality, great-tasting protein supplement.
