Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein, French Vanilla Crème, 2 LB

By far the best protein powder I've tried. I can use a shaker bottle (with a little ice) and it mixes well (I use soy milk.) Maybe a few small lumps but nothing terrible. It doesn't get all foamy, either. The taste of the French vanilla creme is great, not overly sweet. It is on the pricier side, for sure, but I'll gladly pay the extra for a superior product, especially since I use it daily. Going to try the caramel macchiato and cinnamon roll flavors next. But the vanilla is a staple! Loyal customer!

I've tried my fair share of entry level protein powders, but none have impressed me quite like the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard. For the money I don't think you are going to find a better protein powder period. And if you subscribe and save you get an even better deal. First off, as far as protein powders go the taste is great. The French Vanilla Creme flavor is rich, creamy, and blends really well with almond milk. Whether mixed with almond milk or blended into a fruit smoothie this protein makes a great recovery shake. But what really sets this protein powder apart is its versatility. Not only does it blend effortlessly into liquids, but it also works wonders in recipes. I recently tried making protein cookies with it, and let me tell you, they turned out amazing. Unlike other whey protein powders I've used in the past, the cookies weren't brittle or dry—they were soft, chewy, and packed with flavor. This protein powder is great as an entry-level option that doesn't break the bank. Despite its affordability, it doesn't compromise on quality or taste, making it perfect for anyone looking to start their fitness journey without emptying their wallet.

Hands down the best protein powder I have ever tried. I have so many I have tried and hated. What I liked is how it mixes!!!🙌👏🏻🙌👏🏻 So smooth, and no after taste. I really need protein since I am older and on weight loss journey. I put 1 scoop , 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, cup of water , a few frozen strawberries and a frozen banana . Blend up… like having ice cream for breakfast. When running low will buy again!

This my 5th time repurchasing the vanilla creme flavor . It is honestly so good I’m a bit picky with flavors I honestly like vanilla flavor as it can go with anything but this is actually best vanilla flavor I ever tried and actually enjoy. I use it in my shakes, cereal , or as a protein sauce on top of my desserts. Chefs kiss 🤌🏻

I've been using Optimum Nutrition whey protein for around eight years, so it's usually my go-to brand, and I decided to try the French Vanilla Crème this time just to switch things up from the other flavors I've had. I use three scoops a day with my strength-training routine—two scoops go into a blender with water, a banana, peanut butter and ice, then later I use one scoop with about 16 oz of water in a shaker bottle. The first thing I noticed when I opened this was how good the French vanilla smells, which actually made me expect the flavor to be stronger than it turned out to be. The taste is still good and you can definitely tell it's French vanilla crème, but I'd give the flavor itself about a B because it doesn't have the same stronger, more satisfying taste I've gotten from their Vanilla Ice Cream or Chocolate Peanut Butter flavors. The sweetness is right in the middle for me—not overly sweet or lacking sweetness—and while I noticed a little chalkiness, it still goes down smoothly. It mixes very easily, doesn't leave clumps behind, and comes out creamy without being overly thick, with just a little foam. It has also been very easy on my stomach with no bloating, heaviness, gas or upset stomach, and even my one-scoop shake leaves me feeling satisfied. I paid a couple dollars more on Amazon than I could have paid locally, but the convenience saved me a trip across town, so I have no complaint about the price. Overall, this is still a good whey protein from a brand I've had consistently good experiences with for years, but I probably wouldn't buy this particular flavor again because the smell promises more French vanilla flavor than the actual taste delivers.

It truly is the gold standard Digestibility: during pregnancy I sometimes found it wasn’t perfectly digestible but other than that it’s very easy to digest Serving size: I think it’s absolutely perfect for my intended needs which are very different from most, I use this to up my breast milk production in the morning and it works like a charm Value for money: yes it is expensive, but so are all the other inferior worse tasting products! Solubility: it’s perfectly soluble in water or milk, I put it in my breakfast yoghurt and it’s messily dissolves Ease of use: it’s very easy to use and as aforementioned can be put in many different mediums Muscle building: as I am not really using it to build up my own muscles I’m not 100% sure but it definitely helps mild production and thus building my babies muscles lol

What a great product. I always consume on my workout training, very good protein. The delivery person has arrived on time. I recommend to other can have it

The taste doesn't feel natural, but it's also not uncomfortable

Está proteína es excelente, la recomiendo muchísimo y el sabor me encanta. Vino el producto en buen estado y bien embalado.

I’ve tried a few different protein supplements over the years. This is one of the pricier ones per g/protein. However, it’s the best by far at dissolving both in water and milk products. No grainy texture at all. Taste of course is personal, but this French Vanilla has enough flavour to make it decent on its own, but not so powerful as to stand out if you’re mixing it with other ingredients. Definitely the best I’ve tried, if not the cheapest option.

This is a great product! I use it in my protein boosting smoothies. Blends beautifully, has a pleasing smoothness and texture with complementary vanilla flavour tones. Quite low in Carbs reasonable on Calories per serving so works well when blended with other high protein, low carb powders! Makes it easy to reach my daily protein targets!

It's good. I am just looking for Sellers who give me the cheapest deal!

Got this as I felt Nitrotech was making me too bloated and difficult to digest. This is a lot lighter and easier to down. The French Vanilla Creme flavour is sweet and mixes well with other ingredients. The authenticity sticker checked out on ON official website. Super satisfied.
