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

The flavor is good

As an avid lifter, I have been on different types of protein shakes before and all of which usually had that same protein taste regardless of how much flavoring was in it. I also noticed myself getting tired of having those over-flavored shakes and also the bloated feeling that came with them as well. This is hands down the best protein I have ever been on period. If used daily after a workout like most people do you will definitely see gains in your muscle mass and physique. Obviously, dieting is hugely important when it comes to weight lifting and looking good but if you want to put on some lean muscle without dreading having to drink a protein that will mess with your stomach or taste buds this is the one. In a matter of 6 months working out 6 days a week eating clean, cutting, and pushing my thresholds I was able to turn 20 pounds of fat into 20 pounds of muscle. I have done this several times now as iv been on this protein for over 3 years and counting. If you are taking your workouts seriously and constantly pushing yourself your body will reward you for buying this protein. Also, I never get bloated after an entire shaker cup with two scoops and milk and thats amazing to me. The only con I have is that the price used to be a lot more affordable when i first started using it but honestly its worth the money so I dont even bother switching

Ive been taking this protein for probably 3 to 4 years and it is my absolute favorite protein. Im lactose intolerant so less calcium the better. The flavor is great. It says 6 to 8 ounces of water but I tend to do 12 ounces and it still tastes fine. Unfortunately it is getting harder to find and becoming more expensive. 30g of protein is pretty spot on. Not too little not to much.

Look up Consumer Reports of April 2012 article re heavy metal contaminants in protein powders. Youll see that about half of the popular protein powders contain amounts of lead and mercury. This product does NOT. And its got about the best profile of amino acids. It even tastes really good.

This stuff used to be around $60 each. The price is out of control these days. Almost over $100.

Mixes well and with ease in water. Vanilla flavor blends well with any other flavors. Great in smoothies regardless of what you mix it with.

3 stars simply for the taste. I ordered Velocity Vanilla and it just tastes weird. Is this because of added vitamin or nutrients? Just really weird tasting.

Pro: flavor, amount of protein

Good taste and mixes very well with water, milk, or coffee (water first), but high price. Why not available via monthly subscription?

Good product I have bought this so many times over the years, but it has become way too expensive, hence the average rating. Their profit margins were still probably fine but now they are just being greedy as this product is now over twice the price that it should be... Their mistake, as myself and many others will no longer be buying at this ridiculous price point. Will find an alternative product at a price thats actually reasonable.
