5.0 out of 5 stars Great Post-Workout Shake, April 23, 2012

This review is from: Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard Natural Whey, Vanilla, 5 Pound (Health and Beauty)
It tastes good (as good as can be for a whey protein powder), mixes somewhat easily (a blender or shaker is recommended but if your in a bind, you can get away with just using a spoon to mix), and has a high enough protein count in each serving to meet the needs of anyone looking to supplement some quality protein into their diet.

I've tried just about ever powder on the market, optimum is probably my favorite now-a-days. I mainly use it as a recovery drink after my workout, adding in a banana for extra sugar (when I use a blender). I've also been adding this powder mix to help with muscle growth/recovery, Natural Testosterone Booster Stack (Bulk Powder) 90 Days Supply. I know the protein powder has something to do with it as well, but I think the test boosters in that stack has made a huge difference in my performance in... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice light tasting protein, no artificial additives, October 6, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
I initially ordered this All-Natural Optimum Nutrition Whey because it was competitively priced compared to the good old artificially sweetened Optimum Nutrition Whey. I was completely expecting a bland and generally lousy tasting protein. In fact, I tend to avoid anything ON-Brand that even hints of vanilla flavor. I think that Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard, Vanilla Ice Cream is absolutely terrible and my experience with ON's other all-natural product Oats & Whey Vanilla Bean was miserable. Despite this, the price was attractive enough to convince me and I gave it a whirl....

Shockingly, this protein is NOT terrible! It doesn't have a strong vanilla flavor, but... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Tried all the flavors of GS Natural Whey, May 15, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
Both my wife and I had decided fairly recently to start using protein powder after our workouts. We started with some unnamed protein powder, but my wife started getting migraine headaches. After looking at the ingredients, we decided it was possible that they were due to the artificial sweeteners. I looked around online, and had a heck of a time trying to find a whey protein which did not use artificial sweeteners. Which is where this protein came in.

We have now tried all 3 flavors of Natural, the Vanilla, Chocolate, and Strawberry. My wife's headaches have gone away, which is always a good thing.

My wife and I both disliked the Vanilla. There was something about the flavor we didn't like. There are lots of good descriptive words for sight (bright, dim, yellow, flashing, etc), but nothing much for taste. Too bad. Anyway, we didn't like it.

I am a fan of the Strawberry. I sometimes drink it with water (it's just fine), but with soy milk (I'm... Read more

This review is from: Optimum Nutrition Pro Complex, Rich Milk Chocolate, 4.6 Pound (Health and Beauty)
I've tried a couple of others before this - BSN Syntha 6 and BeachBody Men's Strength and Muscle Formula - and I won't be looking for another. I've been using it about a month now and my gains are noticeable. I'm sure there are lots of other products that will give good gains but do they also taste excellent and mix easily? The chocolate tastes like YooHoo and goes down very easy. It doesn't bloat at all. It also mixes like a dream. I use a funnel and pour two scoops into my water bottle ( not a shaker bottle just a plain old 16 oz water bottle ) and with a couple of shakes it is complete mixed. Since using Pro Complex, I've also tried Nitro-Core, Vassive-NO, and ON's Casein and I only have good things to say about the company and their products. I've recommended Pro Complex to a couple of friends and they speak highly of it as well.

This review is from: Optimum Nutrition Pro Complex, Rich Milk Chocolate, 4.6 Pound (Health and Beauty)
Although I started out my training regimen with this complex protein, I have moved on to the All Natural Pro Complex, which is very similar to this one except that Stevia is used as the sweetener instead of sucralose. This protein tastes great, even when mixed with water. It mixes really easily, even if you just stir it with a spoon in a glass of water. I typically take a very heaped single scoop since the serving size of 2 scoops (60g protein) is more than I need in a single protein intake. I recommend buying a Blender brand shaker bottle and bring it to the gym with a portion of this protein powder in it and just mix with water and it drink after your workout while eating a piece of fruit such as banana at the same time to get the muscle-repair and protein synthesis off to a quick start.

PS: Be careful not to accidentally buy the Pro Complex Gainer version since some amazon items will show the picture for the regular Pro Complex, but the Gainer (high carb) version will be... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Weight Loss Product, May 19, 2011
By 
Jamie White (Miami, FL, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Optimum Nutrition Pro Complex, Rich Milk Chocolate, 4.6 Pound (Health and Beauty)
Only 28 years old, newly married, and 360lbs, I needed so serious intervention for my health. After seeing many doctors and considering weightloss surgery, I turned to this clean source of Protein Whey. I learned from reading health websites, books, articles, reviews, etc. that protein weigh is natural and can assist in weight loss.

After purchasing this product on many occasions and using it as a meal replacement for breakfast and lunch (2 scoops each time) the weight began falling off me. Many fitness gurus told me that it was too much protein, which I knew and I made sure that I drunk at least 6 - 17oz bottles of water a day. Currently, I an 29 years old (one year later) and I weight eaxactly 271 pounds! With moderate exercise (walk 30 minutes a day,watching what I eat, taking vitamins such as B-12, Cod Liver Oil, CLAs, and carb blockers (when those cravings hit me on the weekend), I was able to lose the weight over a period of time in a healthy way. Not too fast and not... Read more
