Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Ready-to-Drink Protein Shake 24g — Strawberry, 12‑count, Whey+Casein

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Strawberry Protein Shake is a ready-to-drink beverage delivering 24 grams of premium whey-and-casein protein in a convenient strawberry flavor.

Designed for busy routines, this 12-count pack of single-serve shakes offers a shelf-stable, grab-and-go option to help you reach daily protein targets and cover key micronutrients. Each bottle uses milk-derived proteins with milk protein isolate as the primary ingredient, and it includes a spectrum of vitamins and minerals to help fill nutritional gaps. The formula balances immediate-digesting whey with slower-release casein for sustained amino acid availability, packaged with a sweet strawberry profile and a smooth, drinkable texture.

How much protein does each shake provide and what type is it?

Each ready-to-drink bottle contains 24 grams of complete protein drawn from milk sources. The blend pairs whey proteins for quick absorption with casein to provide a slower, steady release of amino acids.

• 24 g total protein per serving
• Milk protein isolate is the primary ingredient
• Combination of whey and casein proteins for varied digestion rates
• 9 essential amino acids included

Will the strawberry shake fit into my daily nutrition plan?
