This review is from: Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein, Vanilla Ice Cream, 1 Pound (Pack of 2) (Health and Beauty)

I'm not usually a big fan of vanilla-flavored products, but I bought this in the vanilla flavor since I had several recipes on-hand that called for vanilla protein powder. I've bought ON's chocolate and strawberry protein powders in the past and they are among my favorite flavors, and this vanilla one is no exception. It's rich and creamy, and has a nice "ice cream" taste to it. It's also nice having this in two smaller containers, instead of the large bins that ON protein usually comes in. The smaller containers are much easier to store.

After doing a weight workout, try blending a scoop of this with some water or skim milk and some fruit (like a frozen banana and strawberries or blueberries), and you'll have a nice post-workout treat.

I've also been using it to make French toast in the mornings: mix about two servings of egg whites with a dab of skim milk, add in 3/4 scoop of protein powder, keep mixing, and then dip a healthy bread like Ezekial bread into the mixture and cook it up.

Another yummy ice-cream-like treat for clean eaters (in a recipe I found in _Oxygen_ magazine) is to blend one scoop of this vanilla protein powder with three dates, three or four large Brazil nuts, 1-2 tsp of vanilla, and 1/2 cup of water in the blender. After it's blended, add in about 8-10 ice cubes, and then freeze the mixture until it's hard again. This makes a tasty substitute for ice cream.

Enjoy!

This review is from: Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein, Vanilla Ice Cream, 1 Pound (Pack of 2) (Health and Beauty)

To begin I want to get the price matter out of the way. I first ordered this product back in December 2010 for 19 bucks and it was actually only 15 bucks if you sign up for the subscription option. Now I see its up to 29 bucks! That tells me I might not be buying the 2 one pound drums and go for the 5 pounder. Ok now to the review. First of all I was using the Twin Lab Protein Powder before this Chocolate flavored which was priced well but when I fully examined the ingredients there were a lot of additives or fillers which lowers the percentage of whey in the product. Thats why I like the Optimum whey so much it truly is one of those better protein powders on the market that is loaded with almost 100% whey protein but there are sweeteners and additives in this one to get that yummy vanilla ice cream flavor. Yet if you want the pure 100% with no additives you can find it on Amazon but its a great deal more expensive then this product. Furthermore the Vanilla Ice cream flavor in my personal opinion has a real nice taste to it nothing to over powering I would describe it as a basic vanilla milk shake flavor not to sweet but just right. Another great thing at least when the price was down to 19 when I started buying this product was that I could drink 2 or three of these shakes a day and its was actually less expensive then say a chicken breast or side salad so these shakes are an adequate snack replacement. Being a novice body builder I really felt that these shakes gave my body what it needed after a workout. I think Optimum provides the best bang for the buck and I will most likely be converting to the five pound drums until the price goes back down on these 1 pound vanilla ice cream tubs. To conclude I believe Optimum makes a top notch product and defiantly gives my body the protein it needs after a grueling workout and as I said these shakes are more of a snack replacement then a meal replacement. Hope this review helped :)
Side-note: I would have given the powder five stars but the 33% price increase in the past month made it lose a star.

This actually tastes like vanilla ice cream and mixes into cold milk very quickly. It's perfect for before or after working out, and I've had good results with it so far. Lots of protein and less of all the other stuff. It's in a smaller, manageable 1 pound container which means I can stash it in the kitchen easily and take it with me on trips where I'll be working out. I really recommend this with cold milk because it sets off the vanilla ice cream flavor.
