Vanilla Ice Cream

Tastes great with just water. Mixes easily. I love this protein supplement. I wish I could buy a sample pack to try all the flavors, but this one is easy to get over and over.

Unfortunately too sweet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I went back and forth on this protein each time I used it. The pros: it blends really well to a very smooth consistency. It didn’t upset my stomach or cause any bloating the way other protein powders have in the past. And it’s low calorie, and only 1g of sugar for a good protein pay off (24g per serving.) However, I couldn’t get past how overly sweet it tasted. It overpowered the flavor to where all I could taste was artificial sweetener which for me was ultimately a deal breaker.

Perfect for a quick protein.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is perfect for a quick protein boost! It's an excellent choice for protein to support muscle growth and post-workout recovery. This vanilla ice cream flavor tastes amazingly delicious and is not too sweet.

Would highly recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im a big fan of the product and would recommend it to anyone. The appearance is clean and straight forward. Yes you get less in the tub due to settling but it does not effect the taste or how it is supposed to work. The rich smell of the vanilla is pleasing and for a pre or post workout shake it works in a pinch.

Smooth, creamy vanilla protein with great mixabili

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using Optimum Nutrition ON 100% Whey Gold Standard Vanilla Ice Cream flavor and really enjoy it. The packaging is sturdy and easy to reseal, which helps keep the powder fresh. The aroma is light and pleasant, not overpowering or artificial. When mixed with water or milk, it blends smoothly and has a creamy texture without clumps. The flavor is mild and not overly sweet, making it easy to drink consistently. For the quality, taste, and protein content, it offers great value and works well for post-workout or daily protein intake.t

Simple, Smooth - My Go-To Protein Choice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my go to protein. I have 3 scoops a day. 1 with about 3/4 cup water or milk right away in the morning and 2 mixed in with a bowl of homemade steel cut oats. If you’re looking for a reliable, "no-fuss" protein that actually does what it says, Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard checks all the boxes. After years of trying different brands, this one remains my fav. You don’t need a high-powered blender; even with a basic shaker bottle or just a spoon in a glass of milk, it dissolves almost instantly. It doesn't leave that gritty, texture at the bottom that makes you want to skip your shake. You can mix the Vanilla Ice Cream flavor with fruit and peanut butter powder. Since it’s only about 120 calories per scoop, it’s a high-protein "bang for your buck" that helps you stay full while keeping your calorie count low.

Whey protein

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of its biggest strengths is mixability. It blends easily with water, milk, or smoothies without clumping, making it convenient for post-workout use or quick meals on the go. The taste is also consistently good across most flavors, with options that aren’t overly sweet or artificial-tasting.

Getting my morning protein in a smoothie everyday.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Family’s favorite everyday shake, my favorite flavor is Ice Cream Vanilla, the taste is amazing, some times I add some berries and give some extra goodness. With 24 grams of protein on this shake that also taste delicious, is the perfect way to get that morning protein and start the day. Easy shake it in to a mixer or throw in the blender whit ice and ready to enjoy the perfect smooth texture to enjoy.
