It seems people don't dig the Red 40.
I personally bought 3 from the 2lb Amazon deal because whey is so damn expensive now, but I got the detox steps lined up:
1. Hide the tub: Stash it behind old canned beans so you stop sipping liquefied synthetic cereal milk.
2. Hydrate: Drink 3–4L of water. Red 40 and sucralose pass through your kidneys naturally—no $90 juice fast required.
3. Eat a sour green apple: Sucralose is 600x sweeter than real sugar. Reset your hijacked tastebuds.
4. Eat plain Greek yogurt: Apologize to your gut microbiome with live active cultures.
5. Upgrade the routine: Switch to unflavored whey + real frozen berries for actual antioxidants and gains.
Community Reviews
This Optimum Nutrition fruit-flavored whey powder is mainly appealing for its low per-serving price and familiar cereal-like taste. The deal math lands around 77 cents per serving, and an extra 10 percent clip brought the price down further for some orders. Taste feedback leans toward fruity cereal or Fruity Loops, though the flavor is not for everyone. A recurring caveat is short dated inventory, with tubs arriving close to expiration or already expired, so the seal and date are worth checking on arrival.
The tub can work out to about $0.77 per serving when the servings are counted as 22 for $16.99.
The expiration date can be checked on arrival, and the seal status can be used to decide whether to keep the tub.
Some buyers report that the flavor tastes fine even when the expiration is about a month away.
The flavor can match a cereal-like profile, with at least one report saying it tastes like Fruity Loops.
Some orders may arrive with shelf-life concerns, including tubs that are expired or close to expiring.
The deal may not feel compelling versus other protein options because the savings per serving can be viewed as too small.
The fruit flavor can be disliked because it may not taste like fruity cereal.
The fruit flavor can also be described as not great based on prior experience.

I save about $12 compared to normal in store priced Ascent protein from Costco when comparing costs by serving size. That isn't a big enough difference to me.
EDIT: Never mind, had my math wrong. This comes out to $0.77/serving, so that's a good deal to me. In for 2!

As for flavoring, it's always better to add your own fruits so you know what you're getting.
Kombucha is another good source of probiotics.
