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

This stuff tastes great and has good absorbency

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

Tiene un sabor extraño, nose si sea de un químico, pero deja un sabor a especia en la boca,lo que hago es echarle mas chocolate para que no sepa tanto a eso, fuera de eso creo que esta bien.

I’ve been using this protein for about a year now, and I gotta say it’s the best out there i’ve had. The gains using this are insane, you feel more energized and it tastes great. The price is the biggest concern, but it’s hydro protein so the benefits and quality far outweigh the price. Others saying that it’s too sweet are exaggerating in my opinion, it tastes like a milkshake, but if it’s too sweet then cut it with more milk/water, duh. Highly recommend this product, and won’t be getting anything else ever again.

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

This has been my go to product for extra protein on the days when I do strength and HIIT. Hydrolyzed for faster absorption. Its doesnt result in gas or bloating

I used this and had great recovery. Didnt reorder because the price jumped bigly. However the other proteins powders even by ON arent as good for recovery. Im reordering even at the higher price point because results matter more than price... this is a good value product.

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!!!

Okay. I normally do not like these powders as they either clump up or have a weird after taste. Ive been using this at work in the mornings to help keep me full. I read all the reviews here, and applied all I saw about using a little less water if you want a stronger taste or more water for a weaker taste, also after shaking it up, put it in the fridge for 30 minutes to get rid of clumps and chunks. I found this is what works best for me: 10oz of water 1 Scoop (the one provided) Shake up for 30 seconds put in 1 Serving of PB2 (good stuff) Shake up for 20 seconds Put in Fridge for 30 minutes Drink So far this method has worked flawlessly, I have no seen one clump of the powder or the PB2 and all I am using is a simple little 12 oz shaker for mixing it and drinking it. The taste is really good with or with out the PB2 taste, it kind of tastes like a chocolate drink and if you use less water you get that rich chocolate taste, it almost feels like I am cheating :D Highly suggest you try the smaller bottle before investing in the large one.

Normally I sit on the sideline and just read reviews but it bothers me when people give misinformed reviews possibly swaying people away from a perfectly good product. First of all this isnt your run of the mill protein powder. This product contains hydrolyzed whey protein which your body metabolizes much better than other forms of whey, especially whey concentrate (check the labels of most protein powders and see what the first protein listed is, its probably concentrate). Concentrate is easy to produce and is one of the least efficient forms of whey. Its not that it doesnt work but an awful lot of it get converted into waste. Also, since hydrolyzed whey is metabolized better an added benefit is that it is easier on your stomach (protein shakes dont always agree with everyone). The reason hydrolyzed whey is more expensive is because the refining process is much more involved and the yield is much less at the end of the process. The biggest negative to hydrolyzed whey is the taste. Hydrolyzed proteins typically are very bitter. The ON Platinum Whey tastes phenomenal for a hydrolyzed whey product. If all you want is a great tasting milk shake and dont care about the quality of protein then look elsewhere. This brings me to my biggest gripe with a lot of reviewers. Please stop comparing apples and oranges. Yes it is more expensive than ON Gold Whey but for the reasons I mentioned above there are additional costs in manufacturing and as a result there are added benefits to the consumer. 1 gram of whey concentrate is not equal to 1 gram of hydrolyzed whey. So stop comparing it to the Whey gold gram for gram. Its not just marketing hype, they market it as platinum because it is a better product. Ive been using this product for over a year and Ive tried a plethora of other brands but this by far is the best tasting hydrolyzed whey formula in my experience. There might be more pure hydrolyzed whey out there but the bitterness is nauseating. This is a great product by a reputable company. It isnt magic and its not perfect, nothing is. Hydrolyzed whey isnt for everyone either. I agree with other reviewers, do your research. Just make sure you are comparing apples to apples, the nutrition info doesnt tell the whole story. Read the ingredients.
