Optimum Nutrition - Gold Standard Whey Protein Powder, Double Rich Choc., 30.32 g (1 rounded scoop) (1 serving(s))

Take the whey with or immediately after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach, especially if the meal includes vegetables, legumes, or other fiber-rich foods.

Mix the scoop with water or an unsweetened milk alternative instead of juice, sweetened milk, or flavored beverages.

Add a small portion of chia seeds, ground flaxseed, or natural peanut/almond butter to slow absorption; choose unsweetened versions without added sugar.

Avoid pairing the shake with fast-digesting carbohydrates such as candy, baked goods, sweetened cereal, or large portions of refined starch.

Have a 10–20 minute easy walk after the shake to help muscles use circulating glucose.

If the rise persists, try a smaller serving such as half to երեք-quarters of a scoop, or split the scoop into two servings taken several hours apart.
