Optimum Nutrition Platinum Hydro Whey, Hydrolysed Whey Protein Isolate Powder with Essential Amino Acids, Glutamine and BCAA, Super Strawberry Flavour, 40 Servings, 1.6 kg

As it says on their website, this product is Ultra low % in lactose. I have severe abdominal reactions to even the tiniest amount (like 1/4 of a small cup of milk) and I can confirm that this one does not cause me any discomfort at all. I mix it with some frozen berries and alt milk in the morning or with water after a session. Mixes great, no lumps whatsoever, tastes as expected, not too sweet not too bland. A bit pricey but I will be buying again as I have seen the recovery difference coupled with low lactose content!

I would never recommend to replace this with real food. But this is perfect for when you don't have time to cook. It tastes good, shakes well and doesn't leave any lumps. Would use again.

Finding a good protein shake that doesn’t have high carb content or an artificial after taste, and doesn’t leave you feeling bloated an hour later is hard to find. Really pleased to have found this one.The chocolate one is quite sweet, so I make it up with unsweetened almond milk. On my second tub. Will try the strawberry one next I think.

I used to use the ON Gold Standard whey product but found a lot of times I either had wind problems and a bad feeling in my gut shortly after taking it and started to get tired of feeling bad and the 'rumbles in the jungle' after workouts. Yes, I tried using it with milk, water, almond milk and lactose free milk along with soya milk but the results were mostly the same each time and it never went away.After trying some other products I spotted this Platinum Hydro whey and some reviews I read online mentioned it was easier on the stomach, so I gave a tub of the Velocity Vanilla a go. It's not cheap, lets get that out there at the start - and I'm not going to go into all the science about how its made (go to the ON website if you want to read about that), but its a quality product and since using it for a few months I'm happy to report zero stomach upsets. No wind, no rumbles and I don't have to keep lookout for an emergency toilet!The vanilla is a tad over sweetened in my opinion but better with milk than water, the chocolate is ok I guess but the best one I've tasted so far is the Super Strawberry, its much better tasting. It reminds me a bit of Nesquik milk or Strawberry Angel Delight, and is perfectly fine to have even with plain water - for me anyway - your taste buds may vary.If you use it to bake with, it does tend to dry out the end product so add a little more moisture into the recipe, for example protein brownies, use a bit more coconut oil. I'm guessing this is due to the manufacturing process, Gold Standard seems a bit 'moister' and didn't do this.4 stars as although the gains keep on coming without any side effects, its a tad expensive and the tubs are smaller than the Gold Standard.

Taste is lovely even with water and 30G Protein with just water not milk is impressive.Miles better than the tasteless gold standard I got before trying this one.

Great product

Worst taste and undrinkable!!

Very good
