Product Information

📋 Directions for Use

For optimal result use within 1 hour before or after exercise

Get more protein at breakfast by adding a serving to your meal, such as poured over your favorite cereal. Adding a Whey Shake between meals can help you reach your daily target with a tasty 120 calorie snack.

Directions: 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, just add one scoop of Gold Standard 100% Whey to a glass filled with 6-8 fl oz of water or your favorite beverage. Then mix it up with a spoon. Stir for about 30 seconds or until powder is completely dissolved. Tip: Adjust the taste of your Gold Standard 100% Whey by varying the amount of liquid that you use to prepare it. For a bolder flavor with slightly more body and sweetness, mix each scoop with 4-6 fl oz of water, milk, or your favorite beverage. For a milder tasting, less sweet shake, use 8-10 fl oz of liquid per scoop. Shaker Cup: Bringing a shaker cup with you to the gym is the best way to get a dose of protein immediately after your workout. Just pour in 6-8 fl oz of your shaker cup. Cover and shake for 25-30 seconds. Blender: Add one scoop of Gold Standard 100% Whey to a blender filled with 6-8 fl oz of water or your favorite beverage. Blend for 20-30 seconds. Then add 1 or 2 ice cubes and blend for an additional 30 seconds. Suggested Use: For healthy adults, consume enough protein to meet your daily protein requirements with a combination of high protein foods and protein supplements throughout the day as part of a balanced diet and exercise program.
