Review: Quality Whey Protein Powder and Vanilla Ice Cream Flavor Spot On - I purchased with some skepticism that the Vanilla Ice Cream flavor might disappoint. I am glad to say the Vanilla Ice Cream flavor is very good and priced fairly. This Whey protein brand comes with a scoop for measuring and produces a smooth and creamy frappe like drink when using a blender. I like the diversity that the Vanilla flavor offers when I am in the mood for a fruit flavor like bananas, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and pineapple. I have also added plain yogurt. The Optimum Whey Protein Powder is very fine, blends well with liquid and produces a filling, flavorful breakfast, lunch, and when on the go or preparing for a workout, a Vanilla Ice Cream drink will save time and satisfy your hunger.
Review: Protein - This protein powder is excellent! It mixes very well with no clumps and has a smooth, great taste—especially the vanilla flavor. It helps me recover after workouts and keeps me feeling energized. The quality is top-notch and worth every penny. I would definitely buy it again!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will I be able to make all kinds of gains?**
A: Yes !  This is like manna from heaven.  In fact, once I started using this, I quit not only working out and still gained muscle mass.  I also quit my job and now devote my time to sitting on the couch and playing on the Xbox.  And I'm still gaining muscle, about 5 pounds a week.  I won a $100,000 scratcher last month the money from which I'm using to find a cure for cancer. I'm just about there !

**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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality Whey Protein Powder and Vanilla Ice Cream Flavor Spot On

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best protein! Vanilla Ice Cream is the best:)
*by A***R on February 27, 2026*

• 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. I have taken as a morning meal for about three years. Great kickstart and maintains muscle.
