FLAVOR

I should have selected a different flavor....I thought the vanilla flavor would taste as great as the rich vanilla iso flavor,....but was disappointed..

Highly recommended

I've been using Gold Standard Whey for a handful of years now, and it is a prime protein powder. I've had so many research and recommendations point me to it, and I'm glad I went for it!

Creamy smooth protein powder

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this product for a few weeks now to add protein in to my diet and aid in weight lifting muscle recovery. I have tried tons of protein powders from various brands and this is one of the best I have tried. Mixed with milk, this is a treat! It feels like I’m outside on a hot Alabama summer day drinking a melting vanilla ice cream milkshake. I get the best smooth texture from mixing this into my cup of milk with a milk frother. The packaging is super sleek and looks great in a gym bag or on a counter top for a male or female. I had never tried this brand of protein before, but I will continue to try other flavors and products!!

A solid protein powder that taste good!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a standard vanilla protein shake, but it does taste pretty good! I’ve been taking some after the gym and and I felt like it sufficiently meets my needs. I would recommend to anyone wanting some extra protein in their diet.

The protien of protien

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been using this brand for years. Honestly it's the lasted trusted one for me. Never seen this flavor but I will say it's amazing. Makes one heck of a protien packed root beer float! Breaks down so easily and settles nicely. No bloating, upset stomach or uncomfortable digestion. Very gentle creamy texture, not very thick or clumpy like other brands. Not exaggerating, i went through this so fast, I wish I had more.... Haven't seen this flavor in stores or vitamin shops yet. At least not where I live.

Fast recovery , and amazing flavor with every scoo

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received these products for free from Influenster and Optimum nutrition in exchange for my honest review . I recently started going back to the gym , and I’m always on the lookout for a protein powder that offers great benefits and good flavor. This whey protein powder checks both boxes. Each scoop delivers 24 grams of protein , and the vanilla ice cream flavor is spot on. Even thought it only contains 1 gram of sugar It’s still on the sweeter side , but I just simply add more water to dilute it , which makes it less sweet and easier to drink . The texture is smooth and creamy , almost like drinking a vanilla milkshake without the guilt . So far , I’ve noticed great results , my recovery feels faster , and I’m able to push through longer workout sessions. I usually drink it an hour before working out , and it’s been working out really well for me. overall it’s a great product , and I’m excited to even see more benefits with it .

Gets the job done and more!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein in Vanilla Ice Cream flavor and I have to say that it’s been really good for me so far! It keeps me feeling full and energized. Makes me feel like I can take on any exercise at the gym or to just go about my day. It has a great vanilla flavor and it really tastes like ice cream! Love the way it tastes a lot. Would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to get in their protein intake while drinking something that is high quality and tastes amazing!

Delicious protein shake!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the taste of this whey protein. It’s not too strong and not too sweet. I also tried it in my strawberrry, blueberry shake, and it was amazing! For the first taste test, I simply stirred it with a spoon and it dissolved after a bit. In a blender, obviously it dissolves easily. I would recommend drinking it with your favorite type of milk. It’s only 120 calories and a nice 31g of protein per serving, so it’s definitely worth it if you’re working out or just need to make up your protein for the day.

Optimum Nutrition Protein Powders lasts me through

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As soon as I opened the Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein Powder, the aroma of the Vanilla Ice Cream flavor was amazing. It looks amazing and there was a lot in the container too. I love the texture of this protein powder and it lasts me all throughout my workout day.
