  • Quality Whey Protein Powder and Vanilla Ice Cream Flavor Spot On
Flavor Name: Vanilla Ice Cream Size: 2 Pound (Pack of 1)
I purchased with some skepticism that the Vanilla Ice Cream flavor might disappoint. I am glad to say the Vanilla Ice Cream flavor is very good and priced fairly. This Whey protein brand comes with a scoop for measuring and produces a smooth and creamy frappe like drink when using a blender. I like the diversity that the Vanilla flavor offers when I am in the mood for a fruit flavor like bananas, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and pineapple. I have also added plain yogurt. The Optimum Whey Protein Powder is very fine, blends well with liquid and produces a filling, flavorful breakfast, lunch, and when on the go or preparing for a workout, a Vanilla Ice Cream drink will save time and satisfy your hunger. ... show more

  • Great Taste and Mixes Smoothly Great Taste and Mixes Smoothly
Flavor Name: Vanilla Ice Cream Size: 2 Pound (Pack of 1)
I’ve been happy with this protein powder overall. The texture mixes smoothly with water or milk and doesn’t leave many clumps, which makes it easy to drink after workouts or as a quick protein option during the day. The Key Lime flavor is different from the usual chocolate or vanilla choices and has a refreshing taste without being too heavy. It also feels light enough for regular use. Overall, this is a solid protein powder if you’re looking for something that tastes good, mixes easily, and is convenient to add to your routine. ... show more

  • Not bad, just a tad sweet
Flavor Name: Vanilla Ice Cream Size: 10.9 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I love the taste! If you mix it with plain yogurt it would taste like cake frosting so a bit sweeter than I thought it would be. The scoop is large, I use 1/2 of it as you get pretty full. Texture is very soft and easily blended with milk or juice or whatever ingredients you want to add.

  • I Refuse to Drink Chalk
Flavor Name: Vanilla Ice Cream Size: 2 Pound (Pack of 1)
If your biggest fear is spending money on protein powder that tastes like drywall and regret... this one is solid!. I’ve been using this consistently for several months, mainly post-workout and occasionally as a breakfast shake. I’ve mixed it with water, almond milk, and once blended it into a banana smoothie to see how it behaves. So yes, this has been properly field-tested. For a vanilla protein, this is solid. It’s not overly sweet, not artificial-tasting, and doesn’t punch you in the face with fake vanilla. Mixed with cold milk, it actually tastes like a mild vanilla milkshake. With water, it’s lighter but still drinkable which is important because some powders only taste decent with milk. It dissolves easily in a shaker bottle. No stubborn clumps, no protein “floaters,” no sandy texture. 20–30 seconds of shaking and you’re good. The powder is fine and consistent. No weird smell when you open the container. It feels like a well-refined product, not something thrown together. It helps me hit daily protein targets more easily without cooking another full meal. I’ve found recovery feels solid after workouts when I stay consistent with it. This isn’t magic muscle dust...it’s a convenient protein source. Used properly alongside training and nutrition, it does its job. For the quality and brand reliability, the price is fair. You’re not paying bargain-basement rates, but you’re getting consistent quality and good mixability. NOTE: Use cold liquid and shake immediately after adding powder. Letting it sit before shaking increases the chance of clumps. This is one of the safer bets in the protein world. Good flavor, easy mixing, reliable quality. It’s not flashy, it’s dependable. And sometimes, that’s exactly what you want from your protein powder. ... show more

  • One Powder to Bind the Weary Flesh After the Chicago Night Rolls
Flavor Name: Vanilla Ice Cream Size: 5 Pound (Pack of 1)
It was the hour when the mats of the North Side academy finally lay quiet, the last echoes of slaps and grunts swallowed by the low hum of the L train rumbling overhead, and the body—spent in the long war of guard and guard-pass—began its slow, unforgiving ledger. Six rounds, perhaps seven, each one a siege fought under fluorescent glare: hips escaped from beneath the crushing weight of purple belts, armbars defended with tendons that sang like frayed bowstrings, the air thick with the smell of rubber and sweat and the faint diesel ghost drifting in from Irving Park Road. By the time I stepped out into the February wind off the lake—sharp as a blade drawn across the knuckles—the quads trembled, the lats hung heavy as wet sailcloth, and the whole frame carried the dull thunder of effort that had no mercy in it. I drove south through the sodium-lit arteries of the city, past the shuttered taquerias and the glow of corner bars where men nursed their own quiet defeats, and in the small kitchen of the River Grove walk-up, under a single bulb that flickered like a dying beacon, I would once have stood empty, staring into the fridge as though it held some ancient pardon for the body’s complaints. Recovery was a word for other men, the ones who still believed flesh could forgive everything. Then the tub of Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard arrived—black and red as the banners of the Bears after a hard-fought Sunday, five pounds of vanilla ice cream promise sealed against the damp Chicago air. I leveled the scoop into the shaker with water from the tap—cold enough to bite—and watched the powder dissolve swift and clean, no stubborn clumps clinging like orcs to the walls, no chalky silt to remind me of lesser brands that had failed me before. I drank it slow against the counter, the taste rich and true: vanilla that carried the cool memory of ice cream scooped on summer nights at Montrose Beach, sweet without insult, smooth enough to quiet the fire still banked in the throat. The protein—24 grams per serving, 5.5 grams of BCAAs—began its work almost at once: the trembling eased first in the forearms, then crept down into the legs; the deep ache in the glutes softened from knife to murmur. Sleep came deeper that night, the kind where the city noise fades and the body mends without protest. Mornings after the brutal sessions—when the stairs up from the Blue Line once turned every step into accusation—I rose and found the quads compliant, the back straight without complaint, ready for the day’s ordinary Chicago treacheries: walking the dog along the Des Plaines, hauling groceries up three flights, surviving another rush hour on the Kennedy. It has become ritual now: post-training, the shaker rattled under the kitchen light; the slow walk to let blood return; the quiet hours when flesh remembers it can endure another dawn on these hard Midwestern streets. Soreness does not vanish—BJJ in Chicago grants no such illusions—but it is mastered, held in check, forced to wait its turn rather than rule the night entire. The powder endures like a loyal squire: no clumping in the humid summers that follow these winters, no settling into sludge at the bottom of the tub, no fading promise as the servings dwindle. If your nights on the mats leave you hollowed, if the body whispers surrender when the mind still hungers for more rolls under these gray skies—take this Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard. It is not mere supplement; it is covenant between warrior and recovery, a powder forged for the long campaign after battle in the city that never sleeps easy, the fellowship your weary frame has hungered for when the rolls are done and only the ache remains. Ten stars out of five, though the heavens are sparing with such reckonings. I would carry it into the deepest lairs of Mordor and fear no post-spar collapse on the frozen sidewalks of the North Side. 🥤🧙♂️💪🌬️ ... show more

Good standard product. Good for smoothie. Easy to use. Doesn’t give bloated feeling. No stomach issues. Smells good. Taste good. I can’t say you will build muscle you have to exercise to build muscle. I will say this will give you the extra nutrients in addition to eating food.
