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. 👍🏼👍🏼

## 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)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.
