Optimum Nutrition Platinum Hydrowhey Protein Powder, 100% Hydrolyzed Whey Isolate Powder, Flavor: Velocity Vanilla, 3.5 Pounds (Packaging May Vary)

This stuff tastes great and has good absorbency

This is a good tasting whey isolate protein. I generally put it in a blender with a handful of frozen cherries and a cup of unsweet coconut milk, but it works well in a shaker too. Im switching back to the ON Gold Standard, though. This is strictly a cost-based move; I use two scoops per shake and the Gold gives a little more product for slightly less $$$.

Been taking for over a year great taste and good results. Price goes up, last container protein tastes like plastic. Undrinkable and upset stomach after, very disappointed.

Tiene un sabor extraño, nose si sea de un químico, pero deja un sabor a especia en la boca,lo que hago es echarle mas chocolate para que no sepa tanto a eso, fuera de eso creo que esta bien.

I have been using this protein for a year and a half. It is by far my favorite. It is high quality and mixes into liquids well without making your drink too thick, and no gritty powdery texture. However, the price has increased from $72-$99. And I recently got a new container of it and the flavor of the vanilla is not the same. My one complaint about this product was that it was a little too sweet, and now I would say it’s not sweet enough. They must have reformulated, but it would be nice if the sweetness level was right in the middle of the old and the new formula. Also, it makes your breath pretty bad so always brush your teeth and tongue right after.

I have bought several tubs of their chocolate and vanilla protein powder in the last few years and its getting harder and harder to get this down. The sweetener is so overwhelming, its almost nauseating. I have to split it into several servings over the day and mix with other foods or drinks. Drinking 1-2 scoops of this in one shake is unbearable. At this point, and mostly due to this product, Im using bare-bone, sweetener free products. Unfortunately, there arent a lot of options with those specifications. Additionally, I had an Amazon subscription for this product for a while and the price has slowly gone from ~$50-60 to $100. Im aware of the resource limitation due to Covid, but that doesnt excuse (almost) doubling the price over a couple of years.

So far so good. Still in my first batch ordered my second already. Been a long time consumer of the ON Gold one and decided to give this one a try. I am going to give you my honest feedback. The taste ? It’s actually better than Gold and it’s better mixed with water rather than milk. Coz it gets coagulated for some reason with milk and I know a lot of folks said the mixability is great and that Holds good only if you mix it with water so avoid milk and it tastes great. It does feel kinda full after I have the shake unlike with the Gold one. But you know what’s the best positive I do feel a difference in recovery time after heavy and intensive workouts. I think I have less body strains and my body feels refreshed the next day and I remember the ON Gold one never gave me such an instant impact. I would rate it as the best ever protein I have had till date but the 4 stars is only coz it’s not actually great mixing with any kind of milk ( tried peas , soy and Zero fat organic milk ) and not exactly fart free. Hahaha but I don’t care coz I feel the results and get the desired impact from what I need for my body!

First Ill say only time will tell on any kind of results I get from this. But initial reactions are very positive. The most important thing for me is the taste. I have tried many protein powders over time and I always get chocolate because its usually the most palatable. This is by far the absolute best Ive ever tried. It smells and tastes just like hot chocolate. Its not gritty or weird and after mixing is very smooth. Ive used water and milk and either way it still tastes great. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to try something new or thats looking to start supplementing to begin with.

Although the product is a little bit more expensive than the other ones by bout $15 the price difference is all in the protein by how easily it absorbs, my shakes come out extremely smooth and frothy. Let alone the taste of this is by far one of the better proteins I’ve consumed but I’ve only been through about 6 jars of different brands and flavors. I usually don’t write reviews but this one was just a big surprise and a hit for me. Definitely going to be sticking with this for a while

Mixes well and with ease in water. Vanilla flavor blends well with any other flavors. Great in smoothies regardless of what you mix it with.
