 Gold Standard 100% natural Whey protien - natural vanilla April 20, 2008
2 out of 2 found this comment useful.
Pros:
Nutrition - 24g protien, 5.5g BCAAs, 4g glutamine precusors, 130 cal, 5g carbs, 3g sugar, 1.5g fat, .5 saturated fat per serving; compares well to the non-natural artificially sweetened gold standard whey which has 2g less carbs and maybe 20 less calories per serving, but, hey what's a small nutritional difference to get all natural ingredients.
Ingredients - all natural, no artificial sweetners
Taste (natural Vanilla) - not overly sweet which I consider a bonus because I've tried other protient powders which taste way too sweet though it is a bit bland; a good base flavor to work with, just add any ingredients to create a desired flavor -chocolate syrup, nuts, fruit, coffee all work well
Good value - 5.15lb tub for about $40
Shakes - mixes well in a blender, no stupid lumps, may get some lumps by shaking or hand mixing but not as many as other whey powders I've used
Cons:
Taste (natural vanilla) : a bit bland and maybe a bit bitter probably due to natural sweetner, this can be a pro or con depending on what you're looking for but again cut it with any ingredient you want to create any flavor and you're in business
Price : a few bucks more expensive than the non-natural stuff
Overall, a great source of lean protien, one of the better whey powders I've tried and a good value.
Straightforward April 12, 2008
I appreciate that this product doesn't have any weird ingredients in it, but I'm sure it's still made from cows that were given various hormones. Thus the marketing is a bit misleading.
I bought the chocolate flavor, whose taste is unbearable without some sort of additive. I use Nesquik, but sugar works fine. Compared to other powders I've tried, though, it's not a particularly poor-tasting product. In fact, with the Nesquik it's one of the tastier whey proteins. The powder mixes pretty decently, as well.
Good source of protein April 9, 2008

This is one of the better protein powders I've taken. It packs 24 grams of protein per serving. That's very helpful when you have to take 200+ grams of protein a day. It mixes fairly easily with vigorous shaking. Some lumps though. All in all, well rounded supplement that's economic.
 My seal was broken too! February 28, 2008

I think these guys need to get their act together. I read the other poor review about a broken seal, figured it was an isolated incident, and then when I got mine in the mail same thing!
I unscrewed the cap and 1/2 of the seal popped off with it. I don't how bad this is, but I'm keeping it. You can't beat the price.
For anyone who is bothered by a broken seal, or their product being compromised by one, DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT FROM AMAZON!
