Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey - 5 lb Coffee

Whey Protein Isolates (WPI) are the purest form of whey protein currently available. This is why they are the first ingredient you read on the Gold Standard 100% Whey label. By using Whey Protein Isolates as the primary ingredient along with ultra-filtered Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC), we are able to pack 24 grams of protein into every serving to support your post-workout muscle building needs. This high-quality powder has been proven to mix easily using a shaker cup or just a glass and spoon. There's no doubt that this is the standard by which all other whey proteins are measured.

Each serving of Gold Standard 100% Whey contains 24g of premium whey protein to support muscle growth and recovery, 5.5g of naturally occurring BCAAs and many other minerals, but only 1g of fat, 1g of sugar, and 3g of carbohydrates.

Directions for use:

Spoon Stirred: GOLD STANDARD 100% WHEY™ is instantized. That means if you forgot your shaker cup or don’t have time to get out the blender, you can just add one rounded scoop of GOLD STANDARD 100% WHEY™ to a glass filled with 6-8 fl oz of water or your favorite beverage. Then stir it with a spoon. Stir for about 20 seconds or until the powder is completely dissolved. TIP: Adjust the intensity of your GOLD STANDARD 100% WHEY™ by varying the amount of liquid used. For a bolder flavor with more body and sweetness, mix each scoop with 4-6 fl oz of water, milk, or your favorite beverage. For a milder tasting, less sweet shake, use 8-10 fl oz of liquid per scoop.

Shaker: Bringing a shaker cup with you to the gym is the best way to get a powerful dose of protein immediately after your workout. Just pour 6-8 fl oz of your preferred beverage, then add one rounded scoop of GOLD STANDARD 100% WHEY™ to your shaker cup. Cover and shake for 25-30 seconds.

Blender: Add one rounded scoop of GOLD STANDARD 100% WHEY™ to a blender filled with 6-8 fl oz of water, fat-free milk, or your favorite beverage. Blend for 20-30 seconds. Then add 1 or 2 ice cubes and blend for an additional 30 seconds. Sharpen Your Shake: By adding fresh or frozen fruits, peanut butter, flaxseed oil, coconut, and other energy-rich ingredients, you can turn your shake into a delicious, high-protein meal. Sharpen Your Shake: You can make GOLD STANDARD 100% WHEY™ an even better recovery product by adding supplements like creatine, glutamine, BCAA, and concentrated carbohydrate powders.

Think Outside The Glass: GOLD STANDARD 100% WHEY™ can be used for more than just protein shakes. Try mixing one scoop into oatmeal, yogurt, or the milk you pour over your morning breakfast cereal. Better yet, increase the protein content of muffins, cookies, brownies, etc., by adding a scoop or two to your baked goods recipes.

Suggested Use:Consume approximately 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day, through a combination of high-protein foods and protein supplements. For best results, consume your daily protein allotment over several small meals spread evenly throughout the day.
