- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 April 2023Flavour Name: Double Rich ChocolateVerified PurchaseThe low calorie count, absence of junk, and high protein content per serving make this a winner for me. There are less expensive options if you're into bulking to cut later and not too concerned about the calorie quality, but if you're in maintenance or taking a lean gains approach, this is hard to beat really. It just affords you more control and options with foods, while having the helpful bump with the protein targets with this protein powder. Not as tasty as some (chocolate), but doesn't taste bad by any means. It's nice. I rate this very good. I trust the claimed protein concentration. My muscle gains are consistent to previous brands I've enjoyed, just without the waistline expansion. For all the reasons I've written about, I think yeah, it earns its gold standard name for my needs. Nice work ON. Very nice.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 August 2024Flavour Name: Delicious StrawberryVerified PurchaseIt’s the Gold Standard for a reason.
Awesome protein powder, mixed well and great flavours. And no digestion issues for me .
The perfect supplement for those unable to get a sufficient amount of protein on board throughout your day.
I found it perfect for a protein ketone diet.
Such a pity the price has gone up exponentially since Covid 😞
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 April 2017Flavour Name: Vanilla Ice CreamVerified PurchaseI'm not going to write a long review; however, I have trained for 20 years and achieved much in my training and continue to do so. Supplements is something I have experience with as I have tried many! Are supplements worth it? Yes and no. Some are, protein being one. Find a good one and keep it!!! Try many to find that one, but once you do, keep it. Merely find a better price for it.
This is the best protein Whey I know. **"Not the best protein"** but the best Whey Concentrate for money. I have used so many! The other true rival and it is very much discussed over the web is, MyProtein Whey. Great value, good tasting, gentle and works. But having used both for plenty of time, OP-N-GSW is just the king in my opinion. I use three mounted scoops a day and it lasts me over two months, tastes amazing (vanilla and choccy being faves from the selection available) with many flavours to choose from at other suppliers/websites. I also find this the most gentle on the stomach for those that suffer, and it does not bloat me!! Only milk (that I use) cause any issue which I don't really experience with milk, so its the supplement and ingredients that these powders contain for sure. I found this the best price on Web, jointly with dolphin-fitness but Amazon Prime delivers in one day and has more flavour variety. Well done Amazon!
Hands down for me, best Whey Concentrate/Isolate supplement on the market for your money. As I said, you may have better products but for money, works, value, dosing and all other factors I've mentioned above..............?
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 December 2011Flavour Name: Double Rich ChocolateVerified PurchaseI bought this product after buying the Optimum Nutrition Strawberry flavor which was awful in water and after doing some research I heard that the double chocolate was by far the best tasting product and I would have to agree.
I mix this with a small amount of water, no more than half a glass (200ml) or a bit more if I use two scoops. It makes a nice thick creamy shake that tastes just like a chocolate milkshake without the milk. Its packed full of protein (23.9g) and has no added sugar (max 1g of carbs per 30g scoop) in comparison to the strawberry flavor and therefore no difference in Carbohydrate content (in case you're on a low carb diet).
I have been using this product for 2 weeks as a weight loss and toning program where I cut out carbs and replace it with as much protein as possible. This is a perfect shake to take with you to work if you do not have time for lunch and keeps you going for hours. I feel very full after drinking one and certainly gives you the boost you need.
If you're looking to drink this with water then definitely buy the Double Chocolate flavor. It dissolves very quickly in water leaving no lumps, I just use a fork to give it a few whisks and its ready to drink. Would definitely recommend.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 April 2024Flavour Name: Double Rich ChocolateVerified PurchaseMixes well and has great macros. Compared to some of the other flavours like Cookies and Cream, this packs less of a punch but it does definitely pair well with milk. Wouldn't want to mix with water.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 June 2024Flavour Name: Double Rich ChocolateVerified PurchaseReally happy with the taste of this product and managed to get a good deal at £98. I was a bit nervous because some people were saying it was not genuine but I've compared the taste from Holland and Barrett and what I bought from here and they are exactly the same, I have no doubt it is genuine. Will definitely buy again.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 October 2024Flavour Name: Double Rich ChocolateVerified Purchaseonly used after weights but great taste and good quality protein
