Our take on the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein, chocolate Malt 900g

Gold Standard 100% Whey is Optimum Nutrition's flagship whey blend: whey isolate, concentrate and peptides, with about 24 g of protein per scoop and a full amino acid profile including EAAs and BCAAs. It mixes easily in a shaker and comes in a wide range of flavors, chocolate malt among them. It suits lifters and everyday gym-goers who want a fast-digesting protein for after training or between meals. Against isolate-only rivals it carries slightly more carbs and fat per scoop, but it is cheaper per serving and easier to drink for most people.
