Customer Reviews of Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard, Vanilla Ice Cream, 5 Pound
Customer Review: By far the best protein I have ever used...
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been powerlifting for over 14 years & have literally tried it all. (well... most that is) Remember when Designer Protein was "In"? Anyway, I purchased this protein along with a handful of others @ a GNC (Yes, GNC... Retail price w/ no Gold Card) without first checking out the reviews. Basically a blind study using myself as the test subject. Out of all the proteins I tested, only ONE stood out from the rest. Being that I wasn't influenced in any way by a salesman, reviews, etc... my observations were not the result of a placebo effect. With ON, I not only maintained my weight but gained weight as well w/ consistent workouts. It did an excellent job of curbing my appetite as well as this has been my breakfast, every morning for close to a year. I recently decided to check out the reviews both online & on Amazon & low & behold, a 5 star average all the way. I'm not the least bit surprised. This is by far the best protein I have ever used.Customer Review: Best Whey Protein I've found
Summary: 5 Stars
Great product. Tastes great (I've tried the chocolate and vanilla and enjoy both), dissolves quickly/easily by shaking, high protein value and good mix of amino acids. I recommend this highly. If I could change one thing, it would be to have the company reduce the cholesterol content. (Soy has no cholesterol, but I prefer the whey for overall nutrition). All in all this is a great product, best whey product I've found, used it daily for years and will continue ordering unless/until I find a lower cholesterol rival that tastes and mixes as well with the same high protein value. Recommended. (Works great as a blender smoothie with bananas, strawberries etc, and also works well mixed with just hot water; tastes then like water-based hot cocoa). Great for backpacking or travel; get up, mix a shake, start your day.Customer Review: Great product, great results, tastes great
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using ON 100% Whey for about a year now, and I will continue to use it. It's a great product, goes down well, and in combination with my 5x per-week lifting routine I've noticed great results.
I've tried chocolate, vanilla, and cookies 'n cream.
They were all pretty good, but my favorite is the chocolate. While the vanilla one tasted fine, for some reason no matter what I mixed it with (whether it be water or milk) I would always have a TON of foam after mixing it; I would then have to let it sit for a few minutes for the foam to turn back into liquid. So, beacuse of the foaming issue with the vanilla one, I think I might go back to chocolate.
But still, it's a great product and I will continue to try other flavors as well.
Customer Review: Excellent Value
Summary: 5 Stars
This is great value for money. Though a bit more expensive than other powders, the protein per serving, taste and mixability ranks highly. I dont have a mixer and simply used a spoon and that worked just fine with minimal clumping at bottom (very minimal) The vanilla ice cream tastes great and is a pleasant drink to enjoy, not merely tolerable. Very smooth when mixed with milk.
The cookies and cream is OK but sweet and not as creamy as the vanilla. My cookies and cream also has a slight bitter after taste could be a bad batch.
Overall very good value. No regrets (except will only buy vanilla as of now)
Customer Review: Like Melted Ice Cream!
Summary: 5 Stars
A few years ago I tried every vanilla protein powder out there. I was about to undergo bariatric surgery, and knew I would have to supplement with protein the rest of my life, so I wanted something that tasted great and was easy to use - or I might not keep up with it. Well ON Vanilla Ice Cream flavored whey protein fit the bill then and I'm STILL drinking it. I drink it in cold two percent milk. It melts quickly without the need for a blender. It's creamy without being thick. It tastes as good as melted Hagen Das vanilla ice cream. And unlike products that contain soy, I've had no digestion problems with it.
