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.

Tastes great and really helps my diet!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m always looking for ways to add great tasting protein to my diet and this whey protein powder rocks! It has a great vanilla ice cream taste and I find that it has very little aftertaste which is something I don’t like about other whey protein products. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to add a great tasting protein powder to their diet!

A Pleasant Surprise

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got to try the ON Vanilla Ice Cream whey. Gotta say, I love blending mine with fruit, but this stuff even mixes up super easy in just a glass with a spoon—no clumps at all. The flavor is a really clean vanilla, not too sweet or artificial, which I loved. The best part was the texture; it got crazy creamy, almost like a milkshake. The scoop is solid and keeps you full, and you can tell the quality is there (isolate is the first ingredient). For me, it was a total win. The smell when you open the tub is just like cracking open a real tub of ice cream. I was genuinely surprised!

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

Almost clump free

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been pleasantly surprised by this protein. It tastes good both mixed with just water and added to my coffee which is not always an easy win. It mixes pretty smoothly and is mostly clump free. In hot coffee it can get a little clumpy but nothing a quick stir or shake can’t fix. Overall, solid flavor, easy to use, and versatile enough for my daily routine. Would definitely buy again.

Vanilla🍹

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been testing this vanilla ice cream flavored whey isolate and feel pretty mixed about it. The flavor is fine and smoother in milk or smoothies, but with water it tastes a bit thin and slightly artificial to me. It mixes fairly well, though I still notice some foam and occasional clumps if I rush. It feels lighter than regular whey, which I like, but it’s also less creamy than other vanilla proteins I’ve tried. It works and feels clean, just not something I really look forward to drinking.

Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great flavoring! I power lift every day. I used this after my workout today and it was great. Blended well and tasted even better. Didn’t feel bloated after either. Will be adding into my mix for sure!

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.

Good tasting protein

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The taste of this Optimum Nutrition Vanilla Ice Cream 100% Whey Protein is actually pretty good. I usually do chocolate flavored so this was a nice change up. It dissolves well and is easy on my stomach. I like that is not full of sugar. I need all the help I can get recovering from strength training and this size fits easily in my gym bag for on the go access.

Been a customer of ON Optimum Nutrition products for years. They have great products for a great price. Like most people when it comes to protein I favor vanilla products most cause they can be mixed with more variety items to make smoothies. You can really taste the artificial sweeteners in this one. It’s my only setback with this item so I give it 4 stars.
