Review: Great Value Protein for Bulking and Weight Loss - For less than $10 a pound, this is a solid deal. The protein quality is consistent, mixes well with water or milk, and doesn’t have a chalky texture. The vanilla ice cream flavor is smooth and not overly sweet, which makes it easy to drink daily without getting tired of it. If you’re trying to bulk up your protein intake while also watching calories to lose weight, this works great. It helps hit daily protein goals without adding unnecessary fats or sugars. Digestion has been easy for me with no stomach issues. Overall, reliable quality, good taste, and excellent value for the price — especially in the larger size. I’d definitely buy it again. If you want, I can also write a shorter version or one that sounds more casual.
Review: Great protein powder - Delicious flavors - Delicious flavors and a really decent value for the cost. I was buying Kachava for a while and was fed up with the slow shipping speeds and cost to product ratio, Optimum Nutrition makes a really good product and was recently featured in a Consumer Reports article that showed it had extremely low levels of lead compared to other brands. I like when a company looks out for its customers and I’m happy I made the switch, this powder mixes well with other fresh ingredients like bananas and peanut butter. It doesn’t really get clumpy and I find that two scoops doesn’t make me feel ill like with other brands. I’m able to get a good amount of protein in one drink and I don’t get bloated. I bought Vanilla Ice Cream, Extreme Milk Chocolate and Cookies ‘N Cream…my least fave was the Cookies ‘N Cream, it’s just very sweet tasting. The other two flavors were phenomenal and taste like what they’re trying to imitate. I’ll keep buying this brand if they keep up this quality, you can’t really go wrong with the Vanilla Ice Cream or Extreme Milk Chocolate. Try it. 👍🏼👍🏼

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smooth-mixing, great-tasting whey protein that’s perfect for post-workout recovery.
*by B***Z on January 16, 2026*

I’d recommend this protein to anyone who works out regularly, needs a reliable post-workout shake, or is looking for a high-quality whey protein. The Double Rich Chocolate flavor tastes great without being overly sweet, and it mixes easily with water or milk without leaving clumps when shaken. Smooth and rich texture for the 5lbs size.
