This vanilla flavour (along with all the other foundation flavours) can be mixed with just water — they’re that delicious. It is the ultimate test for protein taste for me. No aftertaste, no bloating, just smooooth mixing. I have this daily either on it’s own post-workout or as part of my on the go breakfast in smoothie form. Delicious both ways.

Easily the most delicious protein I’ve ever had in my entire life. Sounds like an exaggeration but it is not. If you love strawberry anything, you’ll love this. It is smooth, mixes well, doesn’t have the protein aftertaste that most protein powders have (IYKYK), doesn’t make me bloat (huge factor) and the strawberry inclusions are a fun twist. I’ve recommended this protein (foundation in general and this one specifically) to all of my 1:1 clients and it’s safe to say they’ve all been converted. Hands down the best protein powder — I will die on this hill. I live in Canada and happily pay shipping and duties for this because it is Just. That. Good.

This is my favorite protein flavor. It’s easy to mix and the strawberry pieces are delicious. It’s not overly sweet either.
Dagger A.
The pieces of waffle cone were a nice surprise . Blends like a dream and good taste with just water
Joshua C.
Was expecting a better taste. Can’t tell the difference between this and a regular vanilla protein.
Kathryn T.
Incredibly good strawberry flavor (not just the taste of erythritol and sucralose), and this protein never leaves clumps of powder in my shaker. ARN protein is simply the best!
Alyssa C.
Hands down my favorite protein powder! The cookie pieces are the best surprise and it smells and tastes delicious. I've been recommending it to everyone!
Lauren H.
The lava cake flavor is so good! It doesn’t taste chalky at all, it’s really delicious.
Lynn H.
First one I tried and I ended up ordering 3 new flavors after this. This is my second fav. Super yummy
Joe C.
I bought this expecting it to be another run of the mill chocolate flavored protein, but I have to say it’s really delicious! Actually taste like lava cake! Best chocolate protein I’ve ever had! The only thing to be aware of if you buy this protein is they put some things like corn syrup and sucralose in it to make it this tasty. So if your looking for a super clean this prob isn’t for you.
Josh N.
Foundation is the best protein hands down! Great taste, easy mixing, and not chalky.
Matthew B.
I love everything arms race. Will gladly shout it from the mountain tops. Everything is *chefs kiss*
Nicole V.
It’s a great flavor. Personally not my fav but still good. Definitely tastes like strawberry shortcake
Nancy B.
Don't use USPS for delivery. We had to drive 12 miles RT to get, too big for mailbox. Took 3 additional days to get
Emma K.
Love the flavor! It made me love my oats again haha! This and snickerdoodle, fav!!
Rick&Cassie L.

Glen P.
Strawberry Shortcake it's delicious a must have if you love Strawberry Shortcake you'll love it.
Glen P.
It's absolutely delicious love it tastes like Apple Fritters it's yummy good
Cherry D.
The flavor is delicious. I’m always partial to banana. The only complaint I have is it does not blend real well. The last few drinks will be pretty chunky. Not necessarily something to switch name brands for, but something to comment about if someone doesn’t enjoy that. And it’s possible the other flavors blend entirely different. I just haven’t had the opportunity to try them yet.
Tyler S.
Best strawberry protein ever, almost taste like strawberry milk made with water
Tyler S.
Fire flavor with the best consistency Iv had with a protein powder
Kaitlin C.
Delicious flavor! Love it.
Meghan R.
I've tried many many protein powders, and Arms Race is by far the tastiest, easiest to mix, and the scoop is ALWAYS on top when I open the container! *chef's kiss*
Kate S.
One of my favorite flavors for sure, reminds me of the old school mcdonald’s strawberry milkshakes 10/10
Holly B.
Makes delicious protein ice cream.with the ninja creami. I'll try baking with it soon.
Ali M.
I love this protein! I have tried so many brands and they All seem to upset my stomach and have A weird after taste. This one doesn’t! Mixes well with anything! I even mix it in my yogurt for a yummy treat :)
Kaitlin C.
Love love love the snickerdoodle flavor!! Delicious for strawberry-banana protein smoothies!
Kathryn T.
A bit too sweet for my taste, but the blendability of ARN protein is always a 10/10!
Rodney M.
Best flavoring ever. They ALL taste great. I wish u would make a Lime Flavor, as it would be a clean flavor, light and not to sweet.
Jessica Z.
Very delicious and love the strawberry pieces!
Jessica Z.
Super delicious!
James V.
Great Taste , and excellent quality !!! Love all the flavors I tried so far !!
Kathryn T.
Abso-freaking-lutely amazing. Apple fritter doesn't taste chalky and sad or like aspartame as some proteins do. The flavor is legit like powdered apple fritter. Cinnamon-y and wonderful. Bravo, ARN!
Nicole L.
This flavor is straight up delicious. Love the hard “pie crumbles”
Lynn C.
Best tasting protein on the market! Apple Fritter is my fav!!
Zoe P.
I’ve been trying some of these supplements from you guys. Such as the clarity and stabilize, And I’ve noticed some real emotional benefits from them. I was unfortunately a bit disappointed in the protein that it had corn syrup in it where as the other products I’ve tried had such good ingredients.
Guisela S.
Love this product and the flavor is amazing!!
Henry M.
Hands down the best tasting protein I've had by far!! Definitely recommend the Maple Pancake flavor ♂️
Lora D.
I initially ordered the sample box. Apple Fritter is so delicious and can be added to oatmeal or made into a shake. It is very flavorful. I love feeling full when I eat/drink this product. A great addition as I start my fitness journey.
Brenden S.
S’mores is by far my favorite. Only issue I have is the shipping cost overseas. I wish they had some kind of military discount for overseas troops.
Brandon H.
Apple Fritter is AMAZING!
Emily L.
I have tried so many different protein powders and none compare! It is by far my #1 choice and I started stock piling it so that I never run out!
Garrett S.
Love this stuff. I use it as coffee creamer but have also used it as just a normal post workout. Its great.
Kasey M.
I’ve been hitting the banana cream pie since it launched and it’s been an absolute go to. 2 scoops with 16oz almond milk is As soon as you open the tub you get hit with the great smell that most other proteins don’t have. 10/10
Chelsea W.
Can't go wrong with Foundation. Chocolate lava cake is a solid chocolate protein flavor, but my favorites are Snickerdoodle and Cookies n Creme!
Jessica B.
The best. I mix this in with my oats and it is to die for!!!
Cherilyn H.
Best tasting chocolate protein powder ever!!!! Hands down!!!
Nick L.
Amazing!! Tasted just like a pancake!!
george a.
Banana Cream Pie is Easily the best tasting Protein Powder I have ever had!
Matt M.

I recommend your products to ALL my clients!
Great research behind the products and ingredients and they flavors NEVER disappoint!
I got my girlfriend HOOKED!
Keep being AWESOME!
Keshara B.
I’ve tried four flavors so far and love them all, my favorite so far being apple fritter. Good taste, doesn’t make my stomach turn like a lot of other proteins can. Mixes well in water. I’ve tried so many proteins over so many years, and this is by far at the top for me. I wish it were cheaper too but you can’t skimp on quality protein, y’all. Worth it.
Madison Mendofik
HOLY COW YOU NEED THIS PROTEIN. Saw the arms race brand at my GNC and figured I'd try the protein since I swear by The Daily Pump and Clifford Lenox brands. And WOW Julian did not disappoint. I've tried almost every protein brand out there and this is by far the best. Why didn't I try it sooner?! I'm three weeks out from my competition and the Apple Fritter flavor is satisfying all my fall food cravings. How does it taste so amazing even just with water?! My mind is blown. I've also always had stomach problems with whey protein because it makes me sooo bloated. This protein did not cause any bloat and my stomach feels great! About to go back to GNC tomorrow and pick up more flavors
Anna
Apple Fritter and Cookies & Cream is BOMB. I use the Apple fritter protein in my overnight oats and it tastes amazing. The cookies & cream tastes like a dessert with almond milk. HIGHLY recommend. I also love how the container is full of powder and not only half full like most protein powders, so no wasted packaging.
JC Meredith
Apple fritter is delicious! I wanted the s'mores but it was out of stock so I got Apple fritter instead. I'm impressed! It is delicious and taste great with almond milk, I also love the digestive enzymes in the protein. Can't wait to try the other flavors
Jared
Filet Minion. So far I've tried Banana Cream Pie, S'mores, and Cookies and Cream. They're all so good but my favorite right now is BCP. This protein mixes so good with water. I have a sensitive stomach and this stuff doesn't upset it at all. 10/10
Teresa
Absolutely LOVE! Had to get another tub of S'mores - along with Banana Cream Pie and Chocolate Lava Cake. Absolutely love it!!
Jack
S'MORE Protein Please. I have been using the S'Mores flavored foundation for the past few months now and it is the best tasting protein powder I have tried. Great macros and is great for people with sensitive stomachs!
Christian Trainor
THIS IS THE BEST TASTING PROTEIN IVE EVER HAD. And I've had a lot. It also does not upset my stomach like Optimum Gold standard did. These are the two flavors I've tried so far and I HIGHLY recommend. I don't spend a lot on my supplements, but this protein is one I am willing to splurge on.
Kasey
Banana cream pie. Literally the best protein I've had. Blends well with no clumps in a shaker cup and has such a good taste to it. (I also used unsweetened original almond milk, not water) Was amazed how little sugars were in it for the sweetness too. Just such a good product. They knocked it out of the park with this. I enjoy shakes again.
Kevin Cox
Best Protein on the Market. Finally picked up some Foundation this past week in Snickerdoodle. Literally tastes just like a snickerdoodle cookie, mind blown. By far some of the best protein I have ever had. 10/10 would recommend.
Will
Apple fritter. It's pretty fire.. not gonna lie.. This tastes kinda like Cinnamon Toast Crunch dust in a bowl of milk to me. I like it. I drink it before my workouts and sometimes in the morning when I don't feel like makin eggs. The reason I gave it 4 stars is bc the price is a lil high for the amount you get. I'm already almost out of it and I feel like I haven't even had it a week. I also use other proteins to snacks at work but I prefer this in my oats and pb pre workout blend. Tastes like cinnamon apple oatmeal and I can't have the cinnamon apple oatmeal bc it doesn't fit my macros. So this is a good alternative. I'm not dieting I just prefer to not get fat when I'm bulking so I stay 200 over maintenance... idk if I'll use this during a cut as it's not filling and I'll want to eat food rather than a quick shake. But for a bulk it helps me meet my macros for the day. Just wish there was a casein blend for night time. Idk how well skim milk and a scoop works as an alternative bc I wake up hungry af.. but that's my honest review. thank you julian and armsrace for everything you do
Maddie S
Cookies & Cream - Knocked it out of the park. I am not a huge fan of trying flavors that stray too far from standard chocolate or vanilla. But I went out on a limb with cookies and cream and I am a huge fan. It had a wonderful taste and consistency. I simply pair it with unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Usually, I like to rotate my protein flavors, but I found myself not wanting to use the other flavors while I still had C&C left. I'm a bit skeptical about some of the other flavors. I enjoy actual strawberry shortcake as one of my favorite desserts, but hesitant because I'm not a big Strawberry Milkshake/Strawberry Ice cream person. And $40 is quite a bit to spend on something I'm not crazy about. Same with Maple Pancake. I love pancakes with maple syrup, but maybe not in liquid form...? Some flavors like this can turn me off with the thought of "drinking" some of my favorite dishes. However, thank you Arms Race for Cookies & Cream Foundation. From now on, this is a staple in my house!

Taste is lacking and price is a tad high. I bought all three flavors when Foundation first released with the sale that ARN had along with Tart Candy Strings Harness. I was a little surprised at the price of the protein after seeing the amount of servings per tub but nonetheless I purchased all three to try them out. I started with the Apple Fritter (I am a huge fan of actual apple fritters and was excited for this) but unfortunately this did not meet my pallette fondly. I found that it has a slight sour flavor that I have seen in mostly every GNC Wheybolic I have tried. I gave this tub to a friend and tried the Cookies and Cream (once again a flavor I typically love) and this flavor was a home run! I had it with 1 cup of dry oat, 2 tbsp of natural peanut butter and made a ""Protein Oats"" for my morning meal. This was enjoyable throughout every morning. Once I ran out of the Cookies and Cream, I move to the S'mores flavor (forewarning, I do not like marshmallows at all but for some reason I enjoy a real s'more) but once again I was not a big fan of this flavor (probably because of the marshmallow).
Pros: Great ingredients and science backed formulation
Cons: Some flavors are lacking and the price is a little high
Maci Muske
S'mores. Easily the best protein powder I've ever had. The taste is spot on and there is no chalkiness or bad aftertaste. 20/10!!
CJ
Cookies and Cream. Easily the best protein I've ever tried. Mixes great and the flavor is awesome. I'm torn between sticking with Cookies and Cream since it's so tasty, or trying the others to see how they compare!
lillie
Apple Fritter. This protein is great. It is light enough to drink post workout without feeling bleh. I have only used the apple fritter and enjoy the taste. Its a sweet treat especially when counting macros.
Daniel
Tastes terrible to me. I bought this and the harness and the harness tart candy strings was great. The cookies and cream foundation protein tastes so bad I can't use it. $40 bucks is no joke either.
