Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Vanilla Ice Cream -- 5 lbs
Whey Protein Isolates. Primary Source. Whey Protein Isolates are 90% pure protein by weight. They are the purest and most expensive form of whey protein that exists. That's why they are the first ingredients you read on the 100% Whey Gold Standard label. By using Whey Protein Isolates as our primary protein source we're able to pack 24 grams of the purest muscle-building protein per serving with a lot less of the fat cholesterol lactose and other stuff that you can do without. There's no question this is the standard by which other whey proteins are measured.

Best whey product Ever
May 23, 2007
"Optimum Nutrition Whey Gold Standard Vanilla Ice Cream is the best Whey product I have used to date. I have used many Whey products; Optimum Nutrition tastes the best. It mixes well in milk or water. I add it to my protein shakes every morning. I order from Vitacost often. I am very satisfied with the product and the service that Vitacost provides. Would recommend to anyone searching for an excellent Whey product at a great price from Vitacost.com"

Mixes well but doesn't taste too good

"All ON products mix well. I was VERY disappointed with the taste of this flavor, it tasted very "medicinal", even when mixed with powdered peanut butter and Splenda. Went back to ON Extreme Milk Chocolate, which is excellent."

"I have shopped around and found that the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey was just what my diet called. It's a great protein powder ior many of my recipes. My creatively has allowed me to use it in so many more dishes that I have made. I love its taste, its creaminess, and its low sugar. It has helped me lose the weight I needed to and to keep my metabolism percolating.
Thank you for this product."

Very Good Bang for the Buck-Excellent Composition
July 24, 2012
"My research led me to this product and I have reordered it (the big container) 2 times after starting with the smaller one as a test. I find the taste suitable with unsweetened almond milk and find this protein to be excellent to raise the protein with every meal mentality. If I am having fruit or oatmeal for breakfast I drink enough with this powder to ensure minimal blood sugar response. It simply works wonders. I have no problems with the taste but have not tried the others - and in fact have just stuck with this flavor. I expect to keep using it - as I go to the gym 3 timjes a week and lower my carb intake some to lower my insulin resistance - it is working well after 2+ months."

"Naturally this is not the best of the best. BUT if you are looking for an economic every day protein, this is my pick. Vanilla Ice Cream is quiet bland so unlikely to offend those taste buds."

"Worst flavor by far!! I usually mix it with water in my shaker cup and this thing foams up so bad that it makes it nearly impossible to drink. I end up having to spend another 5 minutes using a spoon to reduce the amount of foam it builds after being shaken. When I actually am able to consume the protein, I down it as fast as I can! This flavor is horrible with water.. It tastes very bland. Almost like watered down chalk. I know protein isn't suppose to taste good but i've had plenty of better tasting protein shakes than this. Terrible flavor and extremely hard to drink with the amount of foam that builds up after being shaken!! I'm not a big fan of chocolate but I would definitely recommend the double rich chocolate or caramel toffee fudge over this."

Great taste that doesn't get old
June 13, 2012
"If you're buying a 5 pound container of protein... you need to make sure you like the flavor. You can't go wrong with vanilla ice cream! Not too sweet, and doesn't taste fake. You can easily dress it up with a banana or something else, but I've been drinking it on its own for months and I still love it. Don't be afraid of the size -- go big or go home!"
