Tastes great and easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We use whey protein in our house as part of our strength training regime as well as for our teen who is a vegetarian and doesn't get enough protein in her diet. Usually our go to flavor is vanilla, but I was excited to try this flavor as I thought it would be enjoyable by itself as well as by adding fresh fruit to it. Wow! This whey powder when mixed with water or milk tastes just like rich and creamy vanilla ice cream. My daughter loves to add strawberries or bananas to her drinks for a special treat. Now we don't have to fight with her to drink her protein shakes. And when my husband and I make ours before hitting the gym, it feels like we are treating ourselves. There is no powdery after taste or heaviness like we have experienced with other powders. It dissolves quickly in liquid. Highly recommend.

Milky vanilla flavor very protein packed easy to c

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Small size for your carry on gym baggie. It fits in a small backpack too. It's easy to mix. The scoop is big though. And the powder smells like vanilla milk. It's packed neatly. There is a milky taste to it. I don't mind it. I felt full afterwards. Love how it dissolved in my blender bottle.

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.

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.

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!

High quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This protein tastes really good. It's not too sweet, containing only 2 grams of sugar, which is perfect for my calorie deficit. It satisfies my hunger, making it perfect for snacks between meals. As for the price, I think it's a bit expensive for only 10 servings, but if you can afford it and are looking for a high-quality protein, this would be a great option.

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!!

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.

High Quality ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Vanilla for free from Influenster and I really love it. The vanilla flavor is smooth and not too sweet, it mixes easily without clumps, and it’s gentle on my stomach. Each serving gives 24g of protein, which is great for muscle recovery and meeting daily protein goals. I would definitely recommend this protein to anyone who works out regularly or wants a reliable, high-quality supplement.

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.
