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.

Mix 38g of Performance Whey with 250ml of cold water or milk for 15-20 seconds.
