  • Great Taste
Flavor Name: French Vanilla Crème Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)
I really like this protein powder and enjoy the flavor every time I use it. It mixes easily and works well in smoothies or just shaken up with water or milk. It’s become part of my regular routine and I feel good about using it. The only downside is the price. It’s gone up quite a bit, which I don’t love, but even with that, I still plan to keep buying it because the quality and taste make it worth it. If you’re looking for a protein powder that tastes good and does what it’s supposed to, this is a solid choice. ... show more

  • Favorite Protein!!
Flavor Name: French Vanilla Crème Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)
I love this protein! The French vanilla flavor is smooth and sweet without being overpowering, and it blends perfectly in shakes or even in my morning oatmeal. It gives me 24g of protein per scoop, helping me feel energized and strong after workouts. A must-have for busy women who want a tasty, reliable protein. ... show more

  • Cant be beat at the price.
Flavor Name: French Vanilla Crème Size: 2 Pound (Pack of 1)
I've tried my fair share of entry level protein powders, but none have impressed me quite like the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard. For the money I don't think you are going to find a better protein powder period. And if you subscribe and save you get an even better deal. First off, as far as protein powders go the taste is great. The French Vanilla Creme flavor is rich, creamy, and blends really well with almond milk. Whether mixed with almond milk or blended into a fruit smoothie this protein makes a great recovery shake. But what really sets this protein powder apart is its versatility. Not only does it blend effortlessly into liquids, but it also works wonders in recipes. I recently tried making protein cookies with it, and let me tell you, they turned out amazing. Unlike other whey protein powders I've used in the past, the cookies weren't brittle or dry—they were soft, chewy, and packed with flavor. This protein powder is great as an entry-level option that doesn't break the bank. Despite its affordability, it doesn't compromise on quality or taste, making it perfect for anyone looking to start their fitness journey without emptying their wallet. ... show more

  • Vanilla mixes best.
Flavor Name: French Vanilla Crème Size: 2 Pound (Pack of 1)
I really like this protein powder. The 2-lb containers contains 29 servings if you use the included scoop. I use about 8 oz of water and the Vanilla flavor mixes up easily with just a spoon BUT the chocolate flavor doesn’t. I use my MAXX shaker cup that I purchased on Amazon and it does a great job in a couple of seconds. Otherwise, the chocolate is so hard to mix I’m sticking with just the vanilla. The taste of both is not bad. Each scoop provides 30.4 grams of protein. It lists 5.5 grams of BCAA. I just chose the subscription for once a month. It reduces the price a bit and 29 servings is a month but since I drink it twice daily I may change the subscription to two containers for the monthly subscription. ... show more
