Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Coffee -- 5 lbs 4.6 5 4 5

Might take some getting used to The coffee-flavored ONGS protein contains the same nutritional content as the other brand flavors (more or less), so I will just review the way it tastes, which is OK. I mix mine with Unsweetened Vanilla Flavored Almond Milk, which is what I use to make all of my shakes. At first glance, when mixed, the coffee flavor is a bit more frothy than the ONGS Chocolate Malt flavor that I usually use. It also appears and is a touch thinner in consistency than the aforementioned flavor. The coffee blend seems to be attempting to achieve the taste of a slightly creamy and lightly sweetened flavor of coffee, which is probably not going to come across as offensive to anyone. The sweetness, however, seems to present a slightly generic taste to me, and which the other ONGS flavors I like do not seem to contain (this may just be a matter of preference-I am a big coffee drinker). My gf has suggested (as did one of the reviewers above), that if you mix a scoop of chocolate with the coffee flavor ONGS, it produces a desired effect, although I have not tried doing this thus far. So, not sure I would buy this again over my favorite flavored proteins by this same brand, but this is supposedly limited edition, so it's all moot anyway. November 12, 2012

Simply the best in every aspect I tried many vanilla casein , whey vanilla and chocolate and other brands but this, THIS is the real deal! It smell good , it taste good, when you open the box it look so delicious you would want to eat it without anything , just from the bottle itself. I tried to put vanilla powder in oatmeal and it just didn't work, this add a great taste to anything. August 21, 2012

Tastes Delicious I also have had the Mocha Capp. I think the coffee has a great taste as well. With milk, tastes just like a cold smoothie with a bit of sweetness. Thinking of just mixing with some extreme chocolate and getting my own Mocha Capp blend. For the money and ingred, this product is awesome. August 16, 2012

Real Taste! Optimum Nutrition is great quality. I can usually find better deals on protein, but you also pay more for a quality product. The coffee flavored protein is great (actually tastes a lot different than the mocha cappuccino flavor that Optimum also makes)! It actually tastes like coffee that has had a little bit of creamer or milk added to it. That's if you just use water. If you use milk, it tastes even better! Definitely loved it! April 23, 2012

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Coffee Description

Whey Protein Isolates

Primary Source

Whey Protein Isolates are 90% pure protein by weight. They are the purest and most expensive form of whey protein that exists. That's why they are the first ingredients you read on the 100% Whey Gold Standard label. By using Whey Protein Isolates as our primary protein source, we're able to pack 24 grams of the purest, muscle-building protein per serving, with a lot less of the fat, cholesterol, lactose, and other stuff that you can do without. There's no question this is the standard by which other whey proteins are measured.

Nutrition Facts

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Coffee Directions

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

Spoon Stirred: 100% Whey Gold Standard 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 to a glass filled with 6-8 oz of water, nonfat milk or your favorite beverage. Then mix it up with a spoon, stir for about 20 seconds, or until powder is completely dissolved.

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 add one rounded scoop to your shaker cup and then pour in 6-8 ounces of your preferred beverage. Cover and shake for 25-30 seconds. Tip: Mixing one scoop with 6-8 oz of nonfat milk instead of water will give you a thicker, creamier shake.

Blender: Add one rounded scoop to a blender filled with 6-8 oz of water, nonfat milk, or your favorite beverage. Blend for 20-30 seconds. Then add 1 or 2 ice cubes and blend for an additional 3 seconds. By adding a few high-energy ingredients to your shake you can blend up a delicious meal: try adding fresh or frozen fruits (strawberries, bananas, etc.), peanut butter, flaxseed oil, unflavored yogurt, coconut, slivered almonds, or other ingredients. By adding other supplements including creatine, glutamine, taurine, and/or BCAA powder you can make 100% Whey Gold Standard an even more powerful post-workout recovery product.
