Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder, French Vanilla Creme, 2 Pound (Packaging May Vary)

This is the best protein powder I have used. Not only is it affordable, but it is one of the few that does not leave me bloated after a workout. The French Vanilla is easily my favorite flavor.

I really like this protein powder and enjoy the flavor every time I use it. It mixes easily and works well in smoothies or just shaken up with water or milk. It’s become part of my regular routine and I feel good about using it. The only downside is the price. It’s gone up quite a bit, which I don’t love, but even with that, I still plan to keep buying it because the quality and taste make it worth it. If you’re looking for a protein powder that tastes good and does what it’s supposed to, this is a solid choice.

My favorite protein. I really like this product cause it whips up well in the blender. I don’t use a ninja. I like the flavor- not too strong. I can mix it with coco and or fruit.

Best mixabilty and taste combo I’ve found

Tastes great as a significant protein supplement added to my morning bran cereal and mixed in with the flakes.

I do Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and your general sort of fitness training 5-6 days a week. For competitions I have to cut weight but still maintain the muscle I've built as well as extremely high energy levels. Over the past year, this protein powder has helped me do just that. I've tried 4 other protein powders in the past, none of which have provided these results (plus, they all tasted horrible). In terms of flavor, I've tried the strawberry banana, cookies and cream, chocolate mint, cake batter, keylime pie, and french vanilla creme. I hated both the strawberry banana and the cookies and cream. To me, they both had a sort of artificial sweetener taste to them that I couldn't get past (although my boyfriend loves the strawberry banana). The chocolate mint is a pretty solid flavor, but tastes much better with almond milk than with water and I needed something to mix well with just water. I found that cake batter was terrible on its own, but delicious when mixed with other flavors (e.g. 1/2 scoop cake batter and 1/2 scoop strawberry). Keylime was good, but was a strong enough flavor that it couldn't really be mixed with anything else, which meant that by the time I got down to the last scoop, I was SO sick of it. Finally, the French vanilla creme is by far my favorite flavor. It is sweet, but fairly subtle compared to some of the other flavors. This is nice because it can be used as the base for many other flavors when I am craving something a little different (e.g. I've mixed it with peanut butter, mashed banana, blended berries, added it to chia seed pudding, added it to pancakes and waffles, etc.). All-around, fantastic!

I was very impressed with the taste, I was skeptical at first but so glad I got it. I mix it into my smoothies after my workouts and is super delicious.

Doesn’t hurt my stomach the way the plant based proteins do. Also good value
