  • Supports endurance and recovery
  • Instantized powder for easy mixing
  • Cookies & Cream flavor

GOLD STANDARD 100% WHEY by Optimum Nutrition fuels your body with 24g of high-quality whey protein derived primarily from whey protein isolate, plus 5.5g of naturally occurring BCAAs to support muscle building, maintenance, endurance, and recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is whey protein isolate?

Whey protein isolate (WPI) has the highest concentration of protein and BCAAs, while having less carbs, cholesterol, and fat compared to other whey proteins. WPI is also low in lactose and easy on your digestive tract.

What are BCAAs?

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) include leucine, isoleucine, and valine. They support muscle growth and reduce muscle fatigue.

Customers review summary

The Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey protein powder in Chocolate Peanut Butter delights customers with a rich, milkshake style flavor and smooth mixing. Many customers appreciate its 24 grams of protein per scoop, rapid dissolution without grit, and versatility in shakes, smoothies, and baking. A few customers note a faint artificial sweetener aftertaste or occasional thin consistency, yet most say it reliably supports recovery and tastes indulgent.

great vanilla flavor, mixes easily and provides quality protein
This review was collected as part of a promotion
i really enjoyed this protein powder. the vainilla ice cream flavor tastes great and is not overly sweet, making it easy to drink after a workout or a snack during the day, it mixes well with water or milk without leaving many lumps, and the texture is smooth. i also like that it provides a good amount of protein to help support my daily nutrition goals. overall, it's a convenient and tasty option that i would purchase again

Unfortunately too sweet.
This review was collected as part of a promotion
I went back and forth on this protein each time I used it. The pros: it blends really well to a very smooth consistency. It didn't upset my stomach or cause any bloating the way other protein powders have in the past. And it's low calorie, and only 1g of sugar for a good protein pay off (24g per serving.) However, I couldn't get past how overly sweet it tasted. It overpowered the flavor to where all I could taste was artificial sweetener which for me was ultimately a deal breaker.

  I mix the Cookies & Cream version with my morning iced coffee and just a splash of skim milk. Post-workout, I just mix with water.

  I mix it with milk, frozen rasberries, and bananas. With milk alone it is okay.

  No, being in a caloric surplus makes you gain weight. This product is only 120 calories per serving so its like eating a small snack, except for this gives you a lot of protein which is good for building muscle.
