    • High Quality Protein as always!
Flavor Name: French Vanilla Creme Size: 2 Pound (Pack of 1)
I've tried quite a few different protein powders, and the French Vanilla Crème Gold Standard Whey has been one of the better ones. The vanilla flavor is smooth without being overly sweet or having that strong artificial aftertaste that some protein powders have. It mixes really well in a shaker bottle without leaving a bunch of clumps, and I've used it both with water and mixed into Greek yogurt. With 24g of protein per serving, it's an easy way to add more protein without a ton of extra calories. Overall, the taste, texture, and protein-to-calorie ratio make this one I'd definitely buy again. 5/5. ... show more

    • Smells better than it tastes, but still a solid whey protein
Flavor Name: French Vanilla Creme Size: 2 Pound (Pack of 1)
Review Image by chillichill79

I've been using Optimum Nutrition whey protein for around eight years, so it's usually my go-to brand, and I decided to try the French Vanilla Crème this time just to switch things up from the other flavors I've had. I use three scoops a day with my strength-training routine—two scoops go into a blender with water, a banana, peanut butter and ice, then later I use one scoop with about 16 oz of water in a shaker bottle. The first thing I noticed when I opened this was how good the French vanilla smells, which actually made me expect the flavor to be stronger than it turned out to be. The taste is still good and you can definitely tell it's French vanilla crème, but I'd give the flavor itself about a B because it doesn't have the same stronger, more satisfying taste I've gotten from their Vanilla Ice Cream or Chocolate Peanut Butter flavors. The sweetness is right in the middle for me—not overly sweet or lacking sweetness—and while I noticed a little chalkiness, it still goes down smoothly. It mixes very easily, doesn't leave clumps behind, and comes out creamy without being overly thick, with just a little foam. It has also been very easy on my stomach with no bloating, heaviness, gas or upset stomach, and even my one-scoop shake leaves me feeling satisfied. I paid a couple dollars more on Amazon than I could have paid locally, but the convenience saved me a trip across town, so I have no complaint about the price. Overall, this is still a good whey protein from a brand I've had consistently good experiences with for years, but I probably wouldn't buy this particular flavor again because the smell promises more French vanilla flavor than the actual taste delivers. ... show more

Flavor Name: French Vanilla Creme Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)
I spent $92 on a tub of protein powder.. it's THAT good. I use this every day that I work as a protein booster for my overnight oats and go make a post work recovery shake. It dissolve perfectly in cold milk even without a blender! Taste is fantastic and has no weird aftertastes whatsoever! Simply the best protein powder available! ... show more

    • The real Gold Standard! Look no further
Flavor Name: French Vanilla Creme Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)
It truly is the gold standard Digestibility: during pregnancy I sometimes found it wasn’t perfectly digestible but other than that it’s very easy to digest Serving size: I think it’s absolutely perfect for my intended needs which are very different from most, I use this to up my breast milk production in the morning and it works like a charm Value for money: yes it is expensive, but so are all the other inferior worse tasting products! Solubility: it’s perfectly soluble in water or milk, I put it in my breakfast yoghurt and it’s messily dissolves Ease of use: it’s very easy to use and as aforementioned can be put in many different mediums Muscle building: as I am not really using it to build up my own muscles I’m not 100% sure but it definitely helps mild production and thus building my babies muscles lol ... show more

    • Favorite protein powder!
Flavor Name: French Vanilla Creme Size: 2 Pound (Pack of 1)
By far the best protein powder I've tried. I can use a shaker bottle (with a little ice) and it mixes well (I use soy milk.) Maybe a few small lumps but nothing terrible. It doesn't get all foamy, either. The taste of the French vanilla creme is great, not overly sweet. It is on the pricier side, for sure, but I'll gladly pay the extra for a superior product, especially since I use it daily. Going to try the caramel macchiato and cinnamon roll flavors next. But the vanilla is a staple! Loyal customer! ... show more
