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

I’ve been very happy with this powder and I’ve tried a lot over the years. I always use reduced fat milk when preparing this product so I don’t know how well it works with water. Flavor: has a malt-like chocolate flavor that seems like it’s going to have a nasty aftertaste but thankfully doesn’t. It doesn’t have that delicious MuscleMilk level of flavor but it’s also a lot more healthy. Overall it’s a good, easy-to-drink chocolate flavor that isn’t very sweet. Texture: mixes easily but a spoon will leave a few sticky clumps floating around. To be honest it mixes well enough that I’m willing to deal with the minor clumping to avoid having to clean a blender or shaker bottle. Not too thick which is a good thing. Performance: obviously an opinion, but I feel a bit less sore the next day than I otherwise would’ve been had I not drank this after my workout. It works. Price: it’s more expensive than normal whey powder but the increased cost is expected with hydrolyzed whey as it’s a premium product. There are more and less expensive products on the market but I think you will have to spend significantly more to get a marginally better quality product so it’s priced just right IMO. Besides this isn’t intended to be your all-purpose whey powder anyway. I will be purchasing another container when mine runs out.

The macros are good, but between the price over ONs Gold Standard Whey and how watered down it tastes, no one in the household liked this protein powder. Its not the worst by any means, but I could see it more as an ingredient in high-protein meals (ie overnight oats) rather than a powder Id mix into a drink.

Ive used whey protein isolate supplements for over 20 years, including all the Major Brands, NB isopure, optimum nutrition, dymatize. NB isopure was my go to supplement for many years, but got a couple of batches that tasted off. Tried optimum nutrition and dymatize, both were ok. I do not seem to have any problem digesting whey isolate, but thought I would see if there was a difference with a hydrolyzed version. I cannot tell the difference, this tasted OK, but clumped to a little bit which is disappointing, and required a lot of stirring in to get it fully mixed. If you have trouble digesting whey isolate, you might give this a try to see if the hydrolyzed process helps you. Otherwise, it is not worth the premium price. ps the vanilla version mixes very well, but again not worth the premium price unless it digests more easily for you

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

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!

Good price for a great protein powder that mixes very easily and tastes good

This stuff tastes great and has good absorbency

La compré como regalo para mi esposa, quedó encantada.

Excellent addition to my workout routine. The flavor is not bad. I can already see the benefits of my workouts

I used this and had great recovery. Didnt reorder because the price jumped bigly. However the other proteins powders even by ON arent as good for recovery. Im reordering even at the higher price point because results matter more than price... this is a good value product.
