Golden what? What is this flavor system?
CORE Nutritionals’ latest flavor system is modeled after a popular Australian ice cream snack flavor first released in the late 1950s — Golden Gaytime. Created and distributed by the Streets confectionary company, this delicious treat consists of toffee and vanilla ice cream put onto a popsicle stick, dipped in chocolate, and sprinkled with unique honey-sweetened cookie crumbs (“biscuits”). It’s also known as Cookie Crumble in New Zealand.
While this isn’t an official collaboration with the brand, the flavor system is based upon the taste of the ice cream treat described above, and will be incredibly unique to American tongues. Those who enjoy vanilla and toffee with notes of honey will be extremely impressed with Core’s flavoring here – both in America and abroad!
Opening the tub, you’ll get a straight blast of toffee smell, with a light, milky vanilla toffee flavor that is absolutely delicious when mixed. The finish is a light chocolate feel, and everything is light but exquisite. According to our taste buds, this is a job well done, CORE!

A bit about Core PRO
Core PRO is Core Nutritionals’ sustained-release protein blend that has its protein sources fully-disclosed, as well as an amino acid profile as shown in the image attached:
-
Cold-Processed Undenatured Whey Protein Concentrate – 15.63g yielding 12.5g protein
-
Cross-Flow Microfiltered Whey Protein Isolate – 6.94g yielding 6.25g protein
-
Milk Protein Isolate – 6.94g yielding 6.25g protein
Running the math, this means that the whey protein concentrate is WPC-80 (80% protein by weight) and we have a total of 25g protein in Core PRO.
The blend is smoothed out with a coconut oil creamer, a mixed gum blend, and has added digestive enzymes from DigeSEB, an ingredient CORE Nutritionals frequently uses in their protein powders.
A mixed protein blend
With milk protein isolate providing some slower-digesting casein protein, while the first two ingredients provide faster-digesting whey protein, CORE has put together a mixed protein blend that should last a bit longer in the gut. This should keep a more steady stream of amino acids entering the bloodstream for a longer period of time, prolonging fullness and satiety – a very beneficial aspect when considering a protein between meals, as a snack, or before bed.
All Core PRO Flavors
Core PRO sound interesting, but curious about other flavors? Below is a list of all Core PRO flavors now in stock somewhere on the net:
Other CORE Nutritionals proteins:
While Core PRO is the flagship, there are several other protein powders, and even a popular high-protein snack offered by the brand:
- Core PRO – You are here.
- Core POST – A post-workout protein powder with added carbohydrates
- Core ISO – A pure whey protein isolate powder
- Core MRP – A meal replacement powder with low glycemic and grain-sourced carbohydrates
- Core VEGAN – A plant protein powder
- Core PUDD’n – Thick protein sludge
- Core BALLS – A functional food / high-protein snack in excellent ball form
There’s no word if the other products will get the Vanilla Toffee Gaintime flavor, but if Core PRO is successful enough with it, expansion is definitely a possibility.
It’s Golden Gaintime!
It’s getting tougher and tougher for brands to come out with unique flavors that will leave you satisfied through the entire tub. Most major supplement companies are based out of America, but they’ve begun to expand their palettes on an international scale. This not only brings their business closer to customers abroad, but brings foreign flavors to Americans who could greatly use a shake-up.
Chocolate, vanilla, and cookies & cream style flavors will always be here for you. But if looking for something a bit more exciting and different, with a track record of market success, CORE Nutritionals has something special for you here: Vanilla Toffee Gaintime, aka “Golden Gaintime”.
