Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder, Vanilla Ice Cream, 9.98 lb, 146 Servings

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.

This protein powder is excellent! It mixes very well with no clumps and has a smooth, great taste—especially the vanilla flavor. It helps me recover after workouts and keeps me feeling energized. The quality is top-notch and worth every penny. I would definitely buy it again!

This protein powder mixes very well and tastes great. It helps with muscle recovery after workouts and keeps me full longer. High quality product and definitely worth buying.

• High-Quality Protein Blend: Each scoop provides 24g of protein, primarily from Whey Protein Isolate, which is filtered to remove excess carbs and fats. • Superior Mixability: Unlike many clumpy powders, this is "instantized," meaning it dissolves easily in just a shaker cup or even a glass with a spoon. • Muscle Recovery: It contains 5.5g of naturally occurring BCAAs (Branched-Chain Amino Acids) per serving, which are essential for repairing muscle tissue after a tough workout. • Flavor Variety: With over 20 flavors available (like Double Rich Chocolate and Vanilla Ice Cream), it’s easy to find one that doesn't have that typical "protein-y" aftertaste. I have taken as a morning meal for about three years. Great kickstart and maintains muscle.

I like the protein, I just feel it’s too sweet and sometimes I feel stomach ache.

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.

I’ve been using this protein powder for a while and it’s been a reliable option. The vanilla ice cream flavor tastes pretty good and isn’t too sweet, which I like. It mixes easily with water or milk without leaving many clumps. I’ve noticed it helps with recovery after workouts and keeps me feeling full. Overall, it’s a solid choice if you want a dependable protein without overcomplicating things.

Dissolves easily, very good nutrition wise, good quality protein powder, and very good price. Absolutely love this flavor, if you are not familiar with the brand, try the vanilla ice cream first, it also becomes very frothy which I like, almost feels like having a vanilla milk shake.

I personally don't enjoy the taste - it has some bitterness to it.

Já é a 3ª vez que compro essa proteína para a minha mãe, ela adora. Ótima qualidade.

GOOOD

Amazing taste and blends so good ...definitely purchase again ☺️

Pour moi la meilleure whey ayant goûté ! Le goût n'est juste parfait,Se dilue parfaitement sans faire de mousse, le parfum glace vanille est juste incroyable.
