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

120 of 140 calories is protein. No digestive issues for me which other kinds of protein became an issue as Ive aged. Using cold water with a shaker taste is pretty good.

I’m sure the protein powder is great, just not for me.

THERE ARE HEALTHIER SWEETENERS THAN BAD SUCRALOSE. ALSO SCOOP INFO IS OFF AND SCOOP IS AWKWARD WITH HANDLE IN MIDDLE OF SCOOP WHERE POWDER ALWAYS COLLECTS. I MEASURED ON AN ACCURATE CALIBRATED SCALE AND GOT 47g FULL LEVEL SCOOP, EMPTY SCOOP WEIGHS 10g SO TOTAL PROTEIN POWDER IS 37g NOT 39g AS PER LABEL CLAIMS; OFF BY 2g. THATS KINDA SIGNIFICANT. **EXTRA FACTS: I ORDERED THIS IN EARLY AUG/20 AND WAS SENT A TUB OF 3.31LB THAT HAD MFD DATE OF 01/19!!! O.N. WAS GOOD ENOUGH TO SEND ME A NEW TUB OF THE 3.5LB CURRENT VERSION.

This is my first protein powder experience, after doing research I read that a lot of people with lactose issues have problems with certain whey proteins, and that hydrolyzed whey is better for that- I can attest that this stuff gives me no stomach issues whatsoever. I have nothing to compare it to, but it definitely works as advertised in that area. I have the chocolate flavor, and it actually tastes great. I was expecting a protein bar-style fake chocolate flavor that was hard to choke down, but it tastes pretty close to a milkshake once its been blended up in water. Very impressed. My usual routine is downing 12 oz immediately after a workout, and it feels really good. Maybe thats a bit of a placebo effect, but its very quenching for lack of a better word. 30g of protein for only 140 calories, its hard to beat. Recommend.

Digests really fast which is a huge pro for me. I have been taking this protein powder for a long time however, the price seems to be raising gradually for some reason. Please keep price REASONABLE!

I need protein & also use it for use to mix with marilux Stevia & foamer ! Works well!

I have been using this exact product for almost 5 years now and this batch does not taste the same, it now has a strong chemical taste, almost like laundry detergent. I was finishing up the previous container and mixed half of a serving of the previous batch with the new one. At first I thought the shaker wasnt rinsed thoroughly as it tasted like soap. My stomach was slightly upset, but at first I did not associate it with the protein powder. Unfortunately, when I made a full serving of the new batch, it tasted horrible and once again made my stomach turn. This was very discouraging as I really liked this product. I was already annoyed by the price increase, but was ok with paying extra for a premium product. Unfortunately, not only is it distasteful, but apparently you now have to pay for a unsavory and nauseating product that is not the same. I then started reading reviews and noticed several people saying the same thing. I tried to work something out with the seller without having to give a bad review, but here we are!!!

Short review: This products works well, tastes great, and is easy on the stomach. I would recommend it. Longer review: Ill start off by briefly informing you that I use this product specifically to supplement my protein intake after a workout. Previously, I used Optimum Nutritions Gold Standard Whey for the past ~2 years. Before that, Ive used a few others and concluded that ON seems to deliver the best overall protein. That being said, I tried ONs Hydrowhey because hydrolyzed whey is absorbed very quickly after consumption. Taste (Turbo Chocolate): 9/10 Vanilla soymilk is my preferred base liquid, and this flavor tastes great with it. ...Probably even better than their Gold Standard Double Rich Chocolate flavor. Mixability: 8/10 Ive used the same blender bottle for about two years as well, and this Hydrowhey seemed to clump up slightly more than their Gold Standard and stick to the lid of the bottle. Not a huge deal, but worth noting. Ingredients: 9.5/10 Lots of protein and not a whole lot of other garbage that a lot of commercial proteins contain. People will complain about artificial ingredients in their protein, but Im not from that camp. Personally, Id be upset if they started dumping sugar into it. Its also noteworthy that this protein powder (like other ON protein powders) has BCAAs, which is convenient, so that I dont have to order another product or even risk forgetting to take it. Digestability: 8/10 I include this because theres a common talking point about hydro whey being tough on your stomach. For this reason, I procrastinated in trying this, but Im glad that I did. Personally, this maybe had an effect on my stomach about 5% of the time (maybe 2 or 3 days out of the first month that I used it). All in all, Id recommend ONs hydrowhey. I only tried their Turbo Chocolate flavor, and its definitely a winner. Its a little pricey, but the quality of ingredients and taste make it worth it. I paid full price for my whey and my opinions are my own. If you found this review to be helpful in any way, feel free to tap the Yes button to indicate this was helpful to you. Thanks!

See headline. It isnt not wonderful at blending into liquid. Works better in milk or oat milk than w water. But I keep buying it. This powder with a banana and oat milk will give you energy and hold-off hunger.

General: Extremely high quality protein. The price is absolutely justified. Know that most other protein powders out there are not made equal. Theyre mostly below this one in quality. A full scoop mixes very well with 6-8 ounces of water in my shaker bottle. Also mixes well with milk, not as good as water, but definitely still good. Try it in a blender for smoothest results! Flavors (that I have tried): Turbo Chocolate (TC) - great all around. Tastes just fine. To me, its not something that tastes so good that I couldnt wait to drink it, but it does not taste bad to any extent. Its kind of like water to me, I need it, I drink it, and done. Awesome. I give it an 8.5/10 on taste. Next, it mixes so well, sometimes the consistency of the shake was barely distinguishable from water. Its also very versatile! If you plan on adding multiple ingredients to your shake, chances are that TC will pair well. If youre trying the product out for the first time, get this one. Cookies and Cream Overdrive (CCO) - Ugh. No, just no. Dont get it. Protein quality is obviously the same, but just....no. Its especially bad as the first thing in the morning. I give it a 4.5/10. After having TC flavor, I decided to be a bit more adventurous. Got this one in the hopes that it would taste similar to Muscle Milks cookies and cream flavor and boy did it tank. Optimum Nutrition dropped the ball on CCO. Not only does it not taste good, but it doesnt mix as well as TC does. Multiple times Ive had some of the unmixed but wet powder lining the bottom edges of my shaker bottle. Had to dig it out with a spoon. Blasted waste. After my first serving, I dreaded that I had to wait at least a month to finish the stuff and go back to something better. I eventually got used to the taste, but please dont subject yourself to that kind of torture. Think I may just stick to Turbo Chocolate!
