let's do the math. Kirkland is $50 for 70 scoops. Each scoop is 25g. So 35g of protein per $1

This is 146 scoops for $94. Each scoop is 24g. So 37.3g/$1. So 6.5% better

Community Reviews

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard whey in Vanilla Ice Cream is being discussed as a large tub that mixes well and works especially well in coffee, smoothies, or dessert-style recipes. The flavor is polarizing, with some finding it bland or too thick for smoothies, while others prefer mixing it with chocolate, peanut butter, or Greek yogurt to improve the taste. Price checks put the deal around the low 80s with Subscribe and Save, though Costco alternatives and subscription discounts can undercut it. A practical pick if you want bulk whey and plan to blend it into other flavors.

Common Questions (5)

  • Costco alternatives mentioned in the thread include 5.5 lb for $49-$55 and 2 x 5 lb vanilla bags for a couple dollars less than this Amazon deal. The Amazon price also lands around $83.89-$85 with Subscribe & Save for some buyers.

  • Extreme Milk Chocolate is described as sweeter and more like chocolate milk, while Double Rich is much blander and more cocoa-forward. Some prefer Double Rich for smoothies because it is less sweet, but others find it weak or watery.

  • It mixes well into Greek yogurt pudding, especially with cocoa, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, fruit, or sugar-free pudding mix. It is also used with casein to make a chocolate or chocolate-peanut-butter pudding-style shake.

  • The vanilla ice cream flavor is described as very mild, even "literally nothing" to some, while others find it too thick for smoothies. It can work better mixed into coffee, milk, or blended recipes than as a plain water shake.

  • Yes. Canceling the subscription immediately does not readjust the price, and a subscription price difference can be requested afterward through Customer Service if needed.

That's a better deal per unit weight than this deal.

One thing I will say, is that the Kirkland brand protein powder tastes better than ON. At least the chocolate one.

Unfortunately, the Kirkland protein powder has less protein per gram compared to ON (usually not that big of a deal, if ON isn't on sale).
Not a better deal if your S&S is at 15%

I'm tired of all these 10 lb bullshit deals that only involve Extreme Rich Chocolate or Vanilla Ice Cream.Where is the Double Rich Chocolate deal....
Do your self a favor and mix it with Chocolate or Peanut butter Casein and you will get the taste you want and then some. Tastes just like chocolate or chocolate peanut butter pudding

The vanilla ice cream is too thick for the smoothies. I couldn't wait for it to be over when I mistakenly brought it.

I'm surprised people say double rich tastes the same as extreme milk chocolate. They taste night and day to me. Extreme milk tastes like chocolate milk while double rich is bland to the bone. It tastes like nothing which I guess could be ok but not even close to chocolate.
Maybe because double rich doesn't have sucralose

But it would still have even a hint of cocoa flavor, wouldn't it? I said it literally tastes like nothing. No bitterness, no cocoa, no sweetness. NOTHING.

When you buy something through Subscribe and Save, but you want the subscription cancelled ASAP, how long do you have to wait before cancelling?

i.e. if you cancel the subscription immediately, does the price get re-adjusted? Do you have to wait until the item ships, or longer....?

Honest question, is this safe to use by a 18yr old, 2 servings/day? He is into regular gym and sports but I want to make sure there are no side effects due to this, thx
Just keep in mind it has Sucralose and Ace-K. Also I don't understand why would regular people need more than 1 serving per day (20-30g), at least if they are not on some diet which would prevent them from eating normal protein-rich food.

Deal is dead.

Consumer reports just came out with a study on the lead content in major protein powders. Given how concentrated these things are it's important to know what you are ingesting

In that article (https://www.consumerreports.org/l...206364640/) Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey (Chocolate flavor) was one of the brands recommended by CR (see section "Better Choices for Daily Consumption").
While it may not be possible to extrapolate one flavor to another I've always considered ON's Gold Standard Whey to be relatively safe compared to many other products in this space.

No, the price does not get readjusted if you cancel your subscription immediately. I do it all the time.
