100% Gold Standard Whey Strawberry 5lb

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

Optimum Nutrition 100% Gold Standard Whey Strawberry 5lb scores 22/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Optimum Nutrition 100% Gold Standard Whey Strawberry 5lb lists 8 ingredients, starting with Whey Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate, Whey Peptides, Lecithin and Natural and Artificial Flavors. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 22/100 Optimum Nutrition 100% Gold Standard Whey Strawberry 5lb scores worse than most protein powders we have scored. A higher-scoring option in protein powders is VEGA Pea Protein Powder Chocolate at 100/100.
