Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Plant Based Protein, Rich Chocolate Fudge

This plant-based protein powder is excellent. It mixes smoothly, tastes good, and doesn’t have that gritty texture some plant proteins have. It’s easy on the stomach and works well both post-workout and as a daily protein boost. I like that it provides a solid amount of protein per serving while still being vegan-friendly. It keeps me feeling full and supports recovery without bloating. The flavor is balanced—not too sweet—and easy to blend with water, almond milk, or smoothies. High-quality ingredients from a brand I trust. Definitely one of the better plant protein options out there.

A family member suggested this brand. I found the best way for my taste is to mix a scoop of the mix with 2 cups of frig.-filtered water. After shaking in a shaker bottle I pour it over ice and the result is a very satisfying taste.

Excellent chocolate taste! I added it to 12 ounces of unsweetened almond milk for nice protein boost to my day.

This protein powder is great in my smoothies, but I do not recommend drinking this with just water- it’s really hard to get all of the clumps out. The chocolate flavor is really nice.

It tastes great and is very digestable. It's a nice boost after a workout. Optimum Nutrition products have been pretty reliablely good for me over the past 20 ish years. Also they keep their prices reasonable

Coming from Optimum Nutrition Whey protein and no longer being able to tolerate whey or milk, this is terrible. It's extremely gritty in texture making it difficult to go down. The taste also has an earthy taste to it, completely taking over the "chocolate" flavor (in quotes because even that is questionable). I've used it twice, once in a shake with oat milk and once in my Oatmeal. The shake I barely got to drink but the oatmeal was unfinished. I even added Peanut butter and honey to help the taste but it didnt help.

i love this protein powder, i have had it on monthly order for 2years or so, i recommend everyone trying to get extra protein in try's this, it is tasty! it is a little more expensive, but to me its the best chocolate vegan protein i have ever had

Requires over twice the amount of water. If you use the same amount you'd use with whey, you end up with something the consistency of playdoh. When mixing, be sure to add the water first. Otherwise the powder forms a waterproof barrier that traps the powder at the bottom of the bottle. Trying to break through the barrier with a utensil results in said utensil also getting coated in a waterproof barrier with power trapped within. Unlike ON's whey protein, some sort of agitator (mixer ball, fork/spoon, etc) is required to get rid of all the clumps, even if you add the ingredients in the right order. The protein is drinkable with clumps, but the experience is not great. You get a normal protein shake with clumps of slighty salty powder dispersed throughout. Overall, unless you need/prefer this plant-based protein, save yourself the headache and get whey.

It’s tasty and much better than animal protein

Tastes good

Good product & prompt delivery

El sabor si me gusta mucho, lo unico, es que deberian de tener una presentacion con mas producto, y en bolsa, porque es mucho desperdicio de bote =S

Haven’t had issues with this protein, the taste is good and can see results
