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.

  • The deal can land around $85 shipped, which lowers the effective cost for stocking up.

  • The chocolate and vanilla flavors can be made more enjoyable by mixing the whey into Greek-yogurt pudding with mix-ins.

    scallas

  • The protein can work well as a coffee creamer, and it tastes better in milk than in water.

    asterix

  • The vanilla ice cream flavor can be tolerable for some users when they are not using it in smoothies.

    GlenR1272

  • Double Rich flavor can taste bland or like nothing, and some people find it watery.

    Gt7737Gt7737

  • Amazon orders can arrive with expired protein, and refunds can be difficult to obtain.

    gh0stleader

  • Vanilla ice cream can be too thick for smoothies, which makes it harder to use for that purpose.

    mymoneyfolds

  • The deal value can drop if Subscribe & Save is not at the expected discount level.

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
what the other person said, and your son have healthy kidneys. Then it is perfectly fine.

Quote from pikapika3 View quoted comment :
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.
I've had at least 50 different flavors of protein powder and double rich is my favorite by far. Every other flavor comes across as cloyingly sweet, some to a nauseating degree. Double rich is more cocoa, less sweetener and balances in a smoothie much better to my tastes.

I think this is a pretty good deal. Typically I've seen the 5lbs on sale for between 47-51.

Totally safe unless you're buying a brand that gets tested and contains high lead but that is a problem with vegan a cocoa based products

Comes up to 85 shipped for me!!

However i do not know if I want 10 pounds of vanilla flavor..
Same here, great price.

For everyone complaining about taste of flavor X or brand Y, stop drinking your protein. Mix it with Greek yogurt to make a pudding instead, then you can add cocoa, cinammon, pumpkin pie spice, or even fruit. The only two flavors you will ever need are chocolate and vanilla for your protein if you go pudding.

When was the last time you bought it? I've only had three chocolate proteins back to back: Dymatize, ON extreme milk, and then just last week I bought the smallest size of ON double rich to try and it literally tastes like nothing. Not chocolate, not bitter cocoa or dark chocolate.. No taste. I mix it with my almond milk and all I taste is the almond milk.

My double rich is horrible and very watery . I've had to go down to 6 ounces of water and add double chocolate sugar free pudding just to get it tolerable. When I tried to see if this was normal, as I bought it because people said it was the best . Plenty of people on Reddit report it's either bland or way too sweet. Coming from the same people different batches . Sounds like they have a real QC problem

This has been my go to snack . Most of the time not even using protein powder .Plain low-fat Greek yogurt , 1 serving , 90 cal, 16 G protein , half a serving of sugar free pudding ( vanilla , cheesecake, key lime ) and 1 serving of sugar free apple pie pudding (30 cal) 120 ca , 16 G protein Sometimes add 1/2 of one graham cracker , walnuts . So easy to make a great after dinner treat.I have used protein powder with the same recipe but needed to add a dash of 30 cal almond milk

Nope. Never again from Amazon. Twice I received expired protein and both times it was a complete PITA to get a refund.
