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

So far so good. Still in my first batch ordered my second already. Been a long time consumer of the ON Gold one and decided to give this one a try. I am going to give you my honest feedback. The taste ? It’s actually better than Gold and it’s better mixed with water rather than milk. Coz it gets coagulated for some reason with milk and I know a lot of folks said the mixability is great and that Holds good only if you mix it with water so avoid milk and it tastes great. It does feel kinda full after I have the shake unlike with the Gold one. But you know what’s the best positive I do feel a difference in recovery time after heavy and intensive workouts. I think I have less body strains and my body feels refreshed the next day and I remember the ON Gold one never gave me such an instant impact. I would rate it as the best ever protein I have had till date but the 4 stars is only coz it’s not actually great mixing with any kind of milk ( tried peas , soy and Zero fat organic milk ) and not exactly fart free. Hahaha but I don’t care coz I feel the results and get the desired impact from what I need for my body!

I usually take protein shake after my workout. The benefits of optimum nutrition platinum hydro whey is absorbed fast and I feel my muscles get energy

The flavor is good

I ugraded from ON Gold Standard to platinum and the immediate difference was the taste. I agree with many other reviewers that ON has used some kind of creamer to make it taste better. Ive always had it with water and it mixes well and fast. The other thing I noticed it how light it feels after having it. I usually have 1.5 scoops mixed with 20 oz of water after my evening workout. Previously with ON Gold, I used to end up feeling stuffy but not with this. I am ready to have dinner with 15 mins of having it. This is an expensive protein but I am willing to pay the extra $$ for the above two qualities alone. As far as results go, I havent seen any noticeable difference in muscle mass having Platinum vs Gold. I believe the Gold works as well as Platinum. Also the platinum scoop is bigger, so I guess the proteins/gram averages out. I hate when ON says you get more protein/g with Platinum when the fact is they increased the scoop size. This I feel is a rip-off, no matter how advanced the Platinum protein structure is.

Researched a lot before buying it, because it quite expensive, but it really does its job, one of the best Ive tried

This is a good tasting whey isolate protein. I generally put it in a blender with a handful of frozen cherries and a cup of unsweet coconut milk, but it works well in a shaker too. Im switching back to the ON Gold Standard, though. This is strictly a cost-based move; I use two scoops per shake and the Gold gives a little more product for slightly less $$$.

Although the product is a little bit more expensive than the other ones by bout $15 the price difference is all in the protein by how easily it absorbs, my shakes come out extremely smooth and frothy. Let alone the taste of this is by far one of the better proteins I’ve consumed but I’ve only been through about 6 jars of different brands and flavors. I usually don’t write reviews but this one was just a big surprise and a hit for me. Definitely going to be sticking with this for a while

Does what it should. Enough said.

Ive tried countless protein powders. Theres a reason for the cost...it works and contributes to my energy and gains. Tastes amazing. Gentle on stomach. This has been my holy grail for almost 2yrs

This protein powder is the best powder Ive used as far as settling well on my stomach (very lactose intolerant). Coupled with Silk Almond Milk, it doesnt taste that bad (VANILLA FLAVOR). To be honest, its the smell and after taste that are foul. I would definitely recommend holding your nose while drinking and having some gum for after you drink it, but otherwise its great. It may not be as much of a problem for others, but it is better after it has been chilled. I mix it and put it in the fridge before I workout, and by the time I get home its chilled and the smell wears off a bit. Other than the luxuries, the protein powder does just what it should. I have a high protein/calorie diet so I cant really comment on if this specifically made me gain any weight, but it has helped in DOMS reduction and recovery time. Ill probably try this in another flavor whenever I finish this batch.
