Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey - 5 lbs Vanilla Ice Cream

Whey Protein Isolates (WPIs) are the purest form of whey protein currently available. That's why they are the first ingredient you read on the Gold Standard 100% Whey label. By using WPIs 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 muscle-building needs after training. 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 branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and many other minerals, but only 1 gram of fat, 1 gram of sugar, and 3 grams 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 oz (175-236 ml) 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 oz of water, milk, or your favorite beverage. For a milder tasting, less sweet shake, use 8-10 oz of liquid per scoop.

Shaker Cup: 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 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 oz (175-236 ml) of water, skim milk, or your favorite beverage. Blend for 20-30 seconds. Then add 1 or 2 ice cubes and blend for an additional 30 seconds. Enhance Your Shake: By adding fresh or frozen fruits, peanut butter, flaxseed oil, coconut, or other energy-rich ingredients, you can transform your shake into a delicious high-protein meal. Enhance 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 your oatmeal, yogurt, or the milk you pour over your morning cereal. Better yet, boost the protein content of muffins, cookies, brownies, and more by adding one or two scoops to your baked goods recipes.

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