Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey — Vanilla Ice Cream Protein, 9.98 lb

Product description

Packaging may vary from time to time, but the contents remain the same trusted formula.

Each tub contains approximately 9.98 pounds of powder, which works out to about 146 servings depending on scoop size. Every typical serving provides 24 grams of blended protein made from whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate and whey peptides to support lean muscle maintenance and recovery.

The formula supplies more than 5 grams of branched‑chain amino acids per scoop and keeps carbs, sugar and fats low (roughly 3–4 g carbs, 1–3 g sugar and 1–1.5 g fat per serving). The Vanilla Ice Cream flavor is gluten free and this particular flavor is formulated without sucralose.

Use it any time you need extra protein: before or after exercise, between meals, mixed into oats, blended in smoothies, stirred into milk, or simply mixed with water. A scoop is included for measuring; do not rely on this product as your only source of nutrition.

The brand is positioned as a sports nutrition company and the powder is screened for banned substances under quality control protocols to help ensure what’s on the label is what’s in the tub.

Pros

  • Reliable 24 g blended whey per serving
  • Mixes easily into water, milk, oats and smoothies
  • Third‑party/banned substance screening

Cons

  • Vanilla can be noticeably sweet for some
  • Some users detect a slight artificial aftertaste
  • Not intended as a sole nutrition source

VerdictThis whey offers a dependable, multi‑use protein source: a 9.98 lb container yields roughly 146 servings of a 24 g blended whey formula with isolates, concentrates and peptides. It delivers solid BCAA content, mixes cleanly and suits shakes, oats and recipes. Flavor leans sweet and ice‑cream like, which many appreciate though a few find it slightly sweet or faintly artificial. Third‑party screenin

Reviews

  1. Jorge A 5/5

    Perfect for mixing into oats

    I make protein oats every day and have tried many powders. This one mixes easily, is straightforward and the flavor works great in hot oats. Simple and reliable for daily use.

  2. Joe’s 4/5

    Exactly like melted vanilla ice cream

    The flavor is very close to melted vanilla ice cream and mixes into water or milk with minimal clumps. The downside: it’s a bit too sweet for my taste and leaves a faint artificial note.

  3. amelia 5/5

    Checks every important box

    Great on flavor, aftertaste, solubility and texture. Provides a solid protein amount per scoop and undergoes third‑party testing, which matters with so many contaminants reported in supplements. Tastes good and feels safe.

  4. Ricardo Souza 5/5

    Excellent quality whey

    High‑quality whey, no complaints. I’ll purchase again for sure.

  5. Michael 5/5

    Vanilla that actually delivers

    This tub is a reliable vanilla option — pleasant flavor, blends smoothly, and works better in milk than water. No chalky texture and consistent performance scoop after scoop.

  6. Reinaldo Salabarria 5/5

    My go‑to daily protein

    I've used this whey for months and it lives up to the name. Vanilla Ice Cream tastes smooth, not overly fake, and it blends into oats, smoothies or cold water without chalky clumps. No bloating and it helps my post‑workout recovery — solid 5 stars from me.

  7. Renata 5/5

    Great product, fast delivery

    Fast delivery and a very good product.

  8. navarreted 5/5

    Good protein without a big bill

    It shakes up well, tastes like vanilla ice cream without too much sweetness, and I even add it to coffee. Helps me hit protein targets without overspending — I’ll keep buying it.

  9. Kevin McCoy 5/5

    Smooth, versatile, filling

    I found the Vanilla Ice Cream flavor to be very good. It works well with cow, soy or oat milk and boosts yogurt and recipes. Shaken for 30 seconds in a flask it’s perfectly smooth — like a melted milkshake — and 24 g per scoop helps me feel full.

  10. t0nyx 5/5

    Solid whey with a convincing taste

    This whey is widely known for a reason. The Vanilla Ice Cream flavor tastes natural, not overly artificial or cloying. It mixes quickly in a shaker and makes a creamy shake. There are cheaper options, but in my view the taste and mixability justify it.

  11. Donald.50 5/5

    Helps recovery after long training sessions

    After intense, hours‑long sessions I reach for this powder to help with soreness and replenishment. It travels well to the gym, mixes quickly and eases recovery the next day.

  12. Lelo 3/5

    Not to my taste

    I don't enjoy the flavor — it has a noticeable bitterness for me.

  13. Maggy 5/5

    Really good — will repurchase

    Great flavor and mixes excellently. I’ll definitely buy again.
