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

Love this product and drink it daily. Ive taken the price increases over the past several years in stride. Understandably with supply chain issues, inflations, etc., prices have to rise. Unfortunately, theyve priced themselves out of the market. Attempted to purchase from other retailers of this product the past several months, who hadnt changed pricing. $100+ for 40 days worth of product just isnt sustainable. Even for higher income earners. ON - please bring this product back to realistic pricing...and Ill be back.

Excellent addition to my workout routine. The flavor is not bad. I can already see the benefits of my workouts

This stuff tastes great and has good absorbency

I’ve been very happy with this powder and I’ve tried a lot over the years. I always use reduced fat milk when preparing this product so I don’t know how well it works with water. Flavor: has a malt-like chocolate flavor that seems like it’s going to have a nasty aftertaste but thankfully doesn’t. It doesn’t have that delicious MuscleMilk level of flavor but it’s also a lot more healthy. Overall it’s a good, easy-to-drink chocolate flavor that isn’t very sweet. Texture: mixes easily but a spoon will leave a few sticky clumps floating around. To be honest it mixes well enough that I’m willing to deal with the minor clumping to avoid having to clean a blender or shaker bottle. Not too thick which is a good thing. Performance: obviously an opinion, but I feel a bit less sore the next day than I otherwise would’ve been had I not drank this after my workout. It works. Price: it’s more expensive than normal whey powder but the increased cost is expected with hydrolyzed whey as it’s a premium product. There are more and less expensive products on the market but I think you will have to spend significantly more to get a marginally better quality product so it’s priced just right IMO. Besides this isn’t intended to be your all-purpose whey powder anyway. I will be purchasing another container when mine runs out.

Good replacement for the ON Performance Isolate, almost same taste. However, I think its little expensive.

I love working out, so I use whey protein and I love to experiment with different kinds. I mainly stuck with Now Foods - Whey Protein Isolate, because it has no preservatives or additives or any chemical crap in it and you can feel and see the difference in it. Well after killing 40 pounds of Now Foods, I wanted to try something new and didnt want chocolate or vanilla. I went with the strawberry Hydro Whey by ON. Im not a big fan of ON because they use Maltodextrin and artificials that cause health problems and weight gain in the gut. I have to say, for a protein that has artificials in it, this is pretty good. I love the taste, it mixes very very easy with a blender ball cup and the taste of the strawberry literally tasted like strawberry. It is really sweet, so if you like sweet things, this is easy to down within seconds. I normally chug it because it tastes that great. To say for performance wise, after I drink this, I feel good but I sometimes feel that crash or lazy feeling you get from the additive crap in it. If ON would take out their artificial ingredient and just let it be, I would stick with it. but I have to say, this is a great protein overall if you dont believe in the artificial ingredients affecting your body. I for one can tell a difference from the Now Foods to this one. Overall, I would recommend this because it is one of the best Caseins out there for performance and taste.

Great flavor, great mixing, and it sits light in your stomach so it wont slow you down. Only downside is how ridiculously expensive it is compared to Optimum Nutrition standard whey protein.

Ive used whey protein isolate supplements for over 20 years, including all the Major Brands, NB isopure, optimum nutrition, dymatize. NB isopure was my go to supplement for many years, but got a couple of batches that tasted off. Tried optimum nutrition and dymatize, both were ok. I do not seem to have any problem digesting whey isolate, but thought I would see if there was a difference with a hydrolyzed version. I cannot tell the difference, this tasted OK, but clumped to a little bit which is disappointing, and required a lot of stirring in to get it fully mixed. If you have trouble digesting whey isolate, you might give this a try to see if the hydrolyzed process helps you. Otherwise, it is not worth the premium price. ps the vanilla version mixes very well, but again not worth the premium price unless it digests more easily for you

Those who say it needs a better flavor should go try the ones with ungodly amounts of sugar. If you’re buying protein powder for the flavor then you can get another brand and slurp down a cookies and cream milkshake. I take this with water and a little bit of vanilla almond milk and it’s perfect. Not too thick where I feel like I’m drinking melted ice cream but still has enough flavor to go down easy. This is the 5th protein powder I’ve tried and it’s the best. Absorbs really well in a blender bottle, whereas other brands will leave you chewing on chunks. Never had that once with powder and I’ve been using for about a month now.

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