Our take on the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Chocolate Malt 5 lbs

Gold Standard 100% Whey is Optimum Nutrition's flagship whey blend: whey isolate, concentrate and peptides, about 24 g of protein and 5.5 g of BCAAs per scoop. It mixes easily in a shaker and comes in a wide range of flavors, including Chocolate Malt. It suits lifters and everyday gym-goers who want a fast, easy protein source after training. Rivals often undercut it on protein per serving or add digestive enzymes, but few match its flavor range and how smoothly it dissolves.

Questions and answers

How much protein is in each scoop?
Each scoop provides about 24 g of protein and 5.5 g of BCAAs, with roughly 120 calories.
Is Gold Standard 100% Whey gluten free?
Yes, it is labeled gluten free. It is dairy-based, so it is not suitable for vegans or those avoiding lactose.
How does it compare with Gold Standard Isolate?
This blend includes whey concentrate and peptides alongside isolate, so it has slightly more carbs and fat. Isolate is leaner and filters out more lactose.
What does Chocolate Malt taste like?
It has a malty, cocoa-forward flavor. Most buyers find it pleasant, though some say it is on the sweet side.
How should I store the 5 lb tub?
Keep it sealed in a cool, dry place. Shake the tub before scooping and use the included scoop for consistent servings.
Can I use it if I am lactose sensitive?
It contains whey concentrate, so it may bother people with lactose sensitivity. A whey isolate would be a safer choice.
