This was the fourth time that I purchased the chocolate malt Gold Standard protein powder, and I could not be more satisfied. The ideal user for this product in my mind is someone who wishes to take control of their protein intake, whether it be for nutritional purposes or to achieve maximum benefits after a demanding lift in the gym. I have decided to rate this protein powder based off three criteria: flavor, nutritional content per scoop, and blend-ability.
FLAVOR
When buying any type of protein supplement the main thing people tend to criticize is the flavor. After tasting this chocolate malt protein powder, I can honestly say it is the best tasting protein supplement I have ever consumed. The taste is comparable to the smooth, velvety, sweet chocolate malt you got as a child at your local ice cream shop. If you really want to take the flavor and calories to the next level, try enhancing your protein shake. Take one scoop of this protein powder, one ripe banana, one cup of milk, a hefty scoop of peanut butter, and 5-10 ice cubs, then blend for one minute.
NUTRITIONAL CONTENT PER SCOOP
The most important part of a protein supplement is how much protein you are ingesting per serving. This is one reason why I like the Gold Standard brand because they have achieved a high level of efficacy by packing 24 grams of protein into one scoop. The 5-lb. tub contains 73 scoops of protein which last me (an intermediate/advanced lifter) about one month, as I take one shake between each main meal throughout the day, and one after my night workout.
BLEND-ABILITY
Blend-ability is how well the protein can mix with various liquids and create a homogenous, or even mixture. I have found this can be an issue with some protein powders, but not with Gold Standard protein powder. I have mixed this protein powder with a variety of liquids such as water, milk, and even beer. It has never failed to mix thoroughly or leave a chunky solution as the final product, which to most consumers is ideal.
SUMMARY
Overall, I would give the Gold Standard 100% whey protein powder 5 out of 5 stars. It has great flavor, optimal nutrition content, and great blend-ability. If you have been disappointed with protein powder in the past, give up on the “just okay stuff” and try something that won’t disappoint your needs, for me that is Gold Standard protein.

For reference, I'm a dad of three with a hectic schedule who just wants to stay fit and use my leisure time for having fun with my family. I started using this product 3-4 years ago for a quick breakfast on the go. I would blend it in almond milk with a banana, a spoonful of peanut butter, and some ice cubes for a delicious and satisfying smoothie. Outside of any specific goals, it was a good way to eat a high protein/potassium/low cal breakfast and not some peanut butter crackers from the vending machine. Now my girls have gotten into rock climbing, and, as such, I have, too. Long story short, it led me back to the gym where I have not been since college and to some concrete goals around weight, strength, body fat %, etc. This protein powder now helps me hit my macro goals on protein for the day. I've eliminated the peanut butter from my smoothie since it didn't add much flavor or protein for the calories it packs and I get enough fat in my diet as it is. Besides a breakfast smoothie, I often mix it alone with almond milk after dinner if I have some calories/protein to go for my daily targets and it's fairly satisfying as a "dessert".
