I have been making porridge using protein powders for years, I used to do it as a neccersary evil to make a quick, healthy breakfast that would keep me going. However, in the past I have found other powders to lack in sweetness and they go all clumpy when cooked. I would end up having to add extra honey or sugar to make it enjoyable but the texture was still naff.It was only on an off chance I tried this when I managed to get a cheap bag as it was nearly out of date and it took my porridge to another level. Now I actually look forward to it in the mornings and would choose it over any cereal, the best thing is I dont even need to add any extra sweetness!If anyone is interested in how I make it, as I have perfected it for my taste over time I do this:40g oats300ml milk/soya milk1 scoop of this-Shake the milk and powder like you normally would a protein shake,-Pour over the oats in a big breakfast bowl-Cook for 3 mins in microwave (750w)-Stir-Cook for a further min and check.This ends up being quite runny but thats how I like it, obviously for extra thickness just keep adding 30 secs, just be careful that it doesn't expand over the top which has happened to me many times.ENJOY!

Taste powdery but not to the point of clumsiness, even shaken with cold water is fine

This casein was purchased because I wanted a slow release protein that I could use after an evening workout. I am familiar with other products in the Gold Standard range, so for me this choice was a natural one.The taste is good, without tasting overly artificial like some other proteins. Like most supplements it does take a little getting used to the taste and consistency, however I would now rank the Chocolate flavour as my favourite.The only criticism I have (hence the 4 stars) is that it does not mix as easily as whey protein. I'm not sure if this is true of all casein products or just this flavour. With that said, it does mix 100% in the end, it just need a bit more shaking than normal and also ends up being a thicker consistency than others, meaning more water also needs to be added. Not really a downside, just something to note. This has a small knock-on effect of cleaning being a little harder to.Recommended.

Works well

Love this and look forward to drinking this in the evenings

The product itself is great quality, and is visibly having an impact - when taken before bed each night. However, my issue is you only seem to get a half full tub. Which for the price is a little annoying, you'd expect it to be at least an inch or two of space at the top, not half the entire tub.Other than that, I can't really complain. I've found that whisking or blending the powder removes the lumps, and improves the texture, making it like a thick milkshake.

My first attempt to make a protein shake with this Casein powder wasn't very successful, as it doesn't dissolve as well as whey protein, even with a shaker (I found that mixing it first in a bowl/glass with a small amount of liquid then adding more liquid is easier to dissolve it properly.I actually took advantage of the thick-high absorbing properties to use it to make protein pudding, with the following proportions: 20g of casein powder, 70ml of unsweetened almond milk (or other milk), 50g of fat-free yogurt, 3g of unsweetened cocoa powder, 5g of peanut butter, mix well and chill in the fridge for 30min at least, it will get smoother and thicken even more resulting in a delicious chocolate peanut butter mousse/pudding. It tastes like an indulgent dessert for only150kcal : 21g protein, 6g carbs of which 3g of sugar, 4g of fat (good unsaturated fat from the peanut butter). Being low in sugar, it's healthier than most desserts and it has also replaced my usual chocolate fix!I agree with another customer on a kind of "cappuccino"-like smell of the dry powder, but once dissolved the chocolate taste is nice. I have also tried the vanilla as a sample, which tastes like vanilla ice cream. Both are properly sweetened for most people taste I think, however I have cut my sugar consumption for the past two months and being more sensitive to any sweetness, I now find it a bit too sweet to my taste, but I will keep buying it anyway.

Me encanta el sabor. Espesa bastante en bebida de almendras.Se disuelve mal, pero con batidora o espumador de leche queda perfecto.

Good

Great for bed time overnight shake. Tastes like a thick chocolate shake, so if you have a sweet tooth, this also replaces your dessert. 😂

Ich bin absolut überzeugt vom Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Casein Proteinpulver und nutze es regelmäßig. Gerade wenn es um die Regeneration und den Muskelerhalt über Nacht geht, ist dieses Produkt unschlagbar!Der Geschmack Chocolate Supreme ist wirklich hervorragend – nicht zu süß und gut mischbar, egal ob mit Wasser oder Milch. Es löst sich klumpenfrei auf und hinterlässt einen angenehmen Geschmack.Was die Wirkung angeht, merke ich definitiv einen Unterschied. Casein ist dafür bekannt, langsam verdaut zu werden, was eine kontinuierliche Versorgung der Muskeln mit Aminosäuren über Stunden gewährleistet. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass meine Muskeln am nächsten Morgen weniger ermüdet sind und ich mich schneller regeneriere. Die zusätzlichen Zink-, Magnesium- und Aminosäurezusätze sind ein weiterer Pluspunkt, der die nächtliche Reparatur und das Wachstum zusätzlich unterstützt.Die Portionsgröße ist ideal und das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis für die gebotene Qualität absolut fair. Für jeden, der seine Muskelregeneration optimieren und den Katabolismus über Nacht minimieren möchte, ist das Gold Standard 100% Casein eine absolute Empfehlung. Ein fester Bestandteil meiner abendlichen Routine!

日本製とは違うと覚悟はしていましたが、普通に飲むこともできないくらい味が濃かったです。普通サイズのシェーカーでは到底薄めることはできなかったです。高タンパクだったので、期待したかったのに後悔しか残りません。
