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

Just a quick flavor review. Im coming over from Muscle Milk. I usually drink Natural Vanilla or Cookies & Cream with Muscle Milk. I just tried the Velocity Vanilla from Optimum Nutrition Hydrowhey and its not very good at all. I actually enjoy the Muslce Milk flavor but this is pretty bad tasting. On the plus side, Its only 1 scoop so ill live with it. I may try chocolate next time. Muscle Milk: 2 scoops, 280 Cal, 32g Protien Optimum Nutrition Hydrowhey: 1 scoop, 140 calories, 30g Protien

I am over 50 & workout w/free weights everyday (fighting hard to not lose more muscle than my age promotes). I mix 1 scoop of this + a small amount of creatine in water for a post workout drink after every session. I have been doing this years. I wouldn’t say u start using this & you r going to see steroid type results in a short timeframe however over the long haul I believe it is providing value. I have been able to maintain strength/muscle & am not far from where I was 30 yrs ago in college. Easy on my bodily system, no adverse effect, big fan.

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.

WOW, Optimum Nutrition’s CEO must have wanted a raise! I’ve purchased this protein powder every month for the past year and really like it but the price has skyrocketed. They are going to price themselves out of business. Sorry but I won’t be purchasing this product anymore. Great product if you can afford it.

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.

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!

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.

This whey isolate protein tastes great and dissolves in water easily. This product provides the maximum protein that your body can absorb in one serving. Considerably more digestible that other protein powders

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’ve gone through multiple different brands and types of whey protein powder over 6-7 years and nothing holds a candle to this. The flavor is unremarkable and inoffensive. The macros are great compared to some other carb-heavy protein powders out there. But most importantly this powder has given me exactly zero side effects compared to others. While I am not lactose intolerant, I experience bloating and get acne breakouts when having 2+ scoops a day of most whey protein powders, but this one came without any of those issues. The only issue is how expensive it is but I’m more than willing to pay the premium and I don’t see myself ever buying a different type or brand of whey in the future.
