Optimum Nutrition Ready‑to‑Drink Protein Shake – a low‑calorie, milk‑based liquid protein sold in multiple flavours and pack sizes across the UK market.
+ Low calorie (≈57‑59 kcal per serving) and very low fat (≈0.2‑0.3 g). + Provides a solid protein boost (7.6 g in chocolate variants, 10 g in the strawberry variant). + All ingredient doses are disclosed, enhancing transparency. + Larger multipacks tend to offer better value in this range.
- Contains milk, so not suitable for those with dairy allergies. - Sweetened with sucralose, which some consumers may wish to avoid. - The strawberry flavour includes colour (carmine) not present in chocolate variants.
The range shares a core skimmed‑milk base with milk protein concentrate, skimmed milk powder and water, delivering a quick, convenient protein source for performance‑focused athletes. Most flavours provide similar energy (≈57‑59 kcal) and minimal fat, but protein content varies modestly (higher in strawberry). Chocolate versions add a small amount of cocoa powder, while strawberry adds natural flavouring and a colour additive. The formulation is consistent across the family, with all doses openly listed. Reportedly, the product is manufactured in Middlesbrough, UK, in GMP‑registered, Informed Sport and Informed Choice‑certified facilities, under the Optimum Nutrition brand, which positions itself as a “Gold Standard” sports‑nutrition line.
