I’ve used several of Optimum Nutrition’s protein powders for years (especially their Gold Standard line), and overall they’re a smart pick for anyone looking to boost protein intake without overpaying.

Better Than Some

The taste is fine. And it actually seems to mix pretty good in my shaker bottle. My problem with a lot of plant protein powder is that it seems extra powdery and therefore kind of messy going from the container to the mixer. I also use whey protein and don’t seem to have this problem with most whey protein.

I've tried both the chocolate and vanilla. Both were pretty tasty and not an awful texture at all for a plant-based protein powder. Ingredient list looks good and price similarly to others on the market. Overall, I like the product.

This Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Plant Protein Powder is a great way for vegans to get a daily dose of protein in a delicious beverage. You don’t have to be a vegan to enjoy this yummy protein powder, a lot of my friends are non vegan, but after I introduced them to it they were hooked just like I am. I usually mix mine in a shaker cup first thing in the morning and sip on it while getting ready for work!

Good Price And Taste. Does Not Mix That Well With Milk!

I bought this on sale and after applying a $10 reward it costs me $10. I mix it in a glass with almond milk and have to stir quite a bit so it doesn’t clumped. I work out a lot but have not noticed much in the way of muscle gains since taking this protein once a day. I am 63 so that may be a factor. It does taste good.
