While
Optimum Nutrition is best known for its 100% Gold
Standard Whey, probably the most popular protein powder of all time, it
also
offers a whole range of other protein supplements including weight
gainers,
hydrolysed proteins and various protein blends.
Performance
Whey is the entry-level protein powder from
Optimum Nutrition, and is a little more versatile than Gold Standard,
at about
the same price. Like Gold Standard, Performance Whey is a 100% whey
protein
blend, but is a little higher in carbs and fat, making it the more
ideal meal
replacement, and offering a thicker, creamier texture.
Protein
- ON Performance Whey contains a four-source
whey protein blend, including whey protein concentrate, whey protein
isolate,
hydrolysed whey isolate and hydrolysed whey concentrate. Each 38g scoop
provides 22g of this protein blend, and approximately 5g of BCAA's and
3g of
glutamine. These protein sources are amongst the fastest-digesting,
which makes
it ideal as a post-workout protein source.
Fats
- Performance Whey contains a number of sources of
fat, including coconut oil and medium chain triglycerides. These
natural fat
sources are ideal energy sources, and are used readily by the body.
They also
taste delicious. Each serve of Performance Whey contains 4g of these
fats.
Available Flavors:
vanilla shake,
chocolate shake
Mix
38g of Performance Whey with 250ml of cold water or
milk for 15-20 seconds.
