Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey is engineered for effective muscle support and recovery. The 24g of fast-digesting whey protein per serving ensures your muscles receive the necessary amino acids quickly, especially critical post-workout to kickstart the repair process. The 5.5g of BCAAs and over 4g of Glutamine further amplify recovery, reducing muscle soreness and preparing you for your next session.
Morning: Kickstart your day with protein to support muscle maintenance and satiety.
Pre-Workout: Fuel your body with amino acids to minimize muscle breakdown during exercise.
Post-Workout: The most critical window for muscle repair and growth; consume within 30 minutes after training.
Between Meals: Help maintain consistent protein intake throughout the day to support overall muscle health.
Beyond just a shake, its excellent mixability allows for creative integration into your diet:
Shakes: Simply mix one rounded scoop with 180-240 ml (6-8 fl oz) of water or milk in an ON shaker cup. Adjust liquid for desired consistency.
Smoothies: Blend with fruits, vegetables, and other supplements for a nutrient-packed meal replacement or snack.
Oats & Yogurt: Stir into your breakfast oats or yogurt to significantly boost their protein content.
Baking: Incorporate into recipes for protein-rich pancakes, muffins, or protein bars.
Example: After an intense leg day, mixing a scoop of Double Rich Chocolate whey with water immediately after showering provides quick protein for recovery, helping to reduce next-day stiffness and accelerate muscle repair. For a sustained release, blend it with milk and a banana for a delicious, more calorically dense recovery shake.
To prepare a smooth, delicious shake, follow these simple steps:
Take one rounded scoop (approximately 31g) of Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey.
Add it to 180-240 ml (6-8 fl oz) of cold water, milk, or your preferred beverage.
Shake well in an ON shaker cup for 20-30 seconds until the powder is fully dissolved. The instantized formula ensures easy mixing without clumps.
Tip: Adjust the amount of liquid to achieve your desired taste and consistency. Less liquid will result in a thicker, stronger-flavored shake.
