Best protein powder

It’s very well priced, has great macronutrients, and scores very highly for label accuracy — three qualities that rarely intersect in the whey protein industry.

Let’s go through some basic things to know about GOLD STANDARD WHEY PROTEIN POWDER. 

One rounded scoop delivers 24 grams of protein, 3 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of sugar, and 1 gram of fat. Various independent tests have shown that it may be closer to 21 or 22 grams of protein per serving, a difference that’s actually pretty negligible in the supplement world — ON is considered a company that has a good track record with third party testers.

It mixes well with both water and milk, likely due to the lecithin, which helps to improve mixability. I typically shake up my protein in a mason jar, but even if you’re just stirring with a spoon, it dissolves nicely into the fluid — just make sure you’re stirring fast!

Optimum Nutrition sells some twenty different flavors and they know their chocolate. The line includes Double Rich Chocolate, Extreme Milk Chocolate, Chocolate Malt, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Chocolate Coconut, White Chocolate, and Rocky Road (that’s chocolate and marshmallow flavor).

We purchased the most normal-sounding chocolate we could find: Double Rich Chocolate. Despite the “double” in the title, it’s tasty without feeling overwhelmingly sweet or intensely flavored, and it’s closer to a dark chocolate taste than milk chocolate. If you’re after a sweeter, creamier, more intense chocolate, you might prefer the equally popular Extreme Milk Chocolate flavor.

There are some flavors we’ve tried from ON (like Cake Donut) that are nice as a one-off, but easy to get sick of after a few shakes. Double Rich Chocolate is ON’s standard, basic chocolate: reliable and mild enough that it won’t overwhelm the palate and you probably won’t get tired of it.

Note that the flipside of this “low intensity” chocolate is that it’s very, very bland when mixed with water.
