Review: Best protein! Vanilla Ice Cream is the best:) - • High-Quality Protein Blend: Each scoop provides 24g of protein, primarily from Whey Protein Isolate, which is filtered to remove excess carbs and fats. • Superior Mixability: Unlike many clumpy powders, this is "instantized," meaning it dissolves easily in just a shaker cup or even a glass with a spoon. • Muscle Recovery: It contains 5.5g of naturally occurring BCAAs (Branched-Chain Amino Acids) per serving, which are essential for repairing muscle tissue after a tough workout. • Flavor Variety: With over 20 flavors available (like Double Rich Chocolate and Vanilla Ice Cream), it’s easy to find one that doesn't have that typical "protein-y" aftertaste.
Review: I Refuse to Drink Chalk - If your biggest fear is spending money on protein powder that tastes like drywall and regret... this one is solid!. I’ve been using this consistently for several months, mainly post-workout and occasionally as a breakfast shake. I’ve mixed it with water, almond milk, and once blended it into a banana smoothie to see how it behaves. So yes, this has been properly field-tested. For a vanilla protein, this is solid. It’s not overly sweet, not artificial-tasting, and doesn’t punch you in the face with fake vanilla. Mixed with cold milk, it actually tastes like a mild vanilla milkshake. With water, it’s lighter but still drinkable which is important because some powders only taste decent with milk. It dissolves easily in a shaker bottle. No stubborn clumps, no protein “floaters,” no sandy texture. 20–30 seconds of shaking and you’re good. The powder is fine and consistent. No weird smell when you open the container. It feels like a well-refined product, not something thrown together. It helps me hit daily protein targets more easily without cooking another full meal. I’ve found recovery feels solid after workouts when I stay consistent with it. This isn’t magic muscle dust...it’s a convenient protein source. Used properly alongside training and nutrition, it does its job. For the quality and brand reliability, the price is fair. You’re not paying bargain-basement rates, but you’re getting consistent quality and good mixability. NOTE: Use cold liquid and shake immediately after adding powder. Letting it sit before shaking increases the chance of clumps. This is one of the safer bets in the protein world. Good flavor, easy mixing, reliable quality. It’s not flashy, it’s dependable. And sometimes, that’s exactly what you want from your protein powder.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Body Fortress Super Advanced has 30 gr protein per scoop, and ON has 24 gr.  what's the difference?**
A: ON Gold Standard has a 31g serving size, and Body Fortress Super Advanced Isolate has a 38g serving size. Larger serving size = more protein. It's really as simple as that. It's got nothing to do with the "bro science" in some of the answers. To be sure, if you convert them to the same 31 gram serving size, then ON has 24 grams of protein, and Body Fortress has 24.5 grams of protein. 

Companies play around with the serving sizes so they can put "60 grams of protein!!!!!!" in the advertising, but if you do the math, then it's usually about the same amount.

**Q: Will consuming more whey (protein) help my rotator cuff tear heal?**
A: There is NO healing of a rotator cuff tear...none! This has to be surgically repaired.  IF you're lucky, you may be able to have an endoscopic repair which takes much less time to recover. Otherwise, you will have to have a "full Open" repair which is much more involved and takes longer to heal. Trust me, I have been there...3 times all coming from very heavy benches and they were all "full open repairs." The first one I had was only a 1 centimeter tear and it never healed in 3 years. IF you have a true torn rotator cuff, NOTHING, (except surgery), will correct the problem.  ANYBODY who tells you they had one and they did this and that and it finally healed up didn't have a tear to begin with. More likely just a bad strain or severe inflammation from overworking the deltoid area. And be prepared for lots of rehab work and it will take you from 9-12 months to get back to where you were before the tear.

**Q: Is there a reason why the 5 lb is so much thicker than the 2 lb? i tried the 2 lb, liked it, and order 5...outside of jug seems the same...**
A: Get something like an "AMIR 500g/0.01g Digital Kitchen Scale". They're twelve bucks & quite accurate.  I suspect the powder is compressed, making the scoops a bit heavy.  Measuring by weight instead of volume should provide more consistent results.

**Q: If I were to make protein shakes with single serving size portions about 5 days/week, how long do you think a 2 lb container would last me? 5 lb? THX**
A: I mean, my dude, i am  horrifying at math but all you really need to do is look at the servings in each container. So 29 servings.  .we already know there are 4 weeks in a month. 4×5 is 20 so that's 1 month right there. Since there is only 9 servings left... That's another week (5 days) and another week, all but one day (4 servings left)  so a month and a half would be how long the smaller one would last you. If it's the 5lb pack. Simply double that ... 1 1/2 doubled is 3 months... (You still have 1 lb left, which we know, that from your 2 lb container, you get about 14 servings in a lb) (since 2 lbs is 29) which brings you to another 3 (almost) weeks.


Making it almost 4 months of supplies. Offering the best offer for someone like you who has as many as you do (but your best bet may be going to Costco or another place with bulk bulk)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ this is definitely one to keep in your routine.
*by S***S on February 17, 2026*

Since starting bodybuilding, the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein has been one of the easiest supplements to stick with. It mixes smoothly with no clumps, whether I use water or milk, and the texture is consistent every time. The protein quality is solid, and it’s great post-workout to help recovery and muscle growth. It doesn’t feel heavy on the stomach, and I haven’t had any bloating issues like with some other protein powders. Flavor is good without being overly sweet, and it’s versatile enough to use in shakes, oatmeal, or even protein pancakes. It’s reliable, well-known for a reason, and delivers exactly what you expect. If you’re lifting and want a dependable protein powder that works, this is definitely one to keep in your routine.
