Raw Organic Whey - USDA Certified Organic Whey Protein, 12oz

Unflavored whey protein is an aquired taste. So much, I have yet to acquire it. I put this in a smoothie or mix it with another powder that has a flavor that overpowers whey.I like that this is organic. I use a spoon and the powder is easy to get out of the bag. The bag easily reseals.My body's a little different internally, but that's what happens with chronic ailments that I was born with. I don't seem to use nutrition well from food. It's better if I use a blender. For decades, I would exercise, even just light stuff, and end up feeling discomfort or pain later. Muscles would never build up to anything beyond everyday moving around without a lot of unpleasant sensations. Whey protein without any other lifestyle changes allowed my body to do what normal bodies do with protein. Muscles got better, actually able to progress with exercises, do longer workouts or more intense workouts. Body built up.My body has a lot of intolerances. Eat the wrong thing, feel unwell. This product, without fillers, additives, flavors, and extra stuff - along with being organic, has been very beneficial to me. I can do my workouts and not feel pain or like I'm degenerating (going backwards) like I did for decades. Even areas I was told to exercise slowly due to scar tissues from the early years are able to recover after workouts. I was told by a surgeon 5 lb limit the rest of my life. With whey protein and collagen together (and lots of trial and error on what my body can and cannot do physically with exercise), 5 lb is now the light weight for dumbbell workouts. The heavy is only 7.5. Sure beats 5 lb as a max. I can lift 40 lb bags of bulk products, work the chainsaw for light trimming, rake up 10+ bags of leaves in a day, and still do the dishes. Someday, I'll get past knee push-ups. Some. Day. For now, this is miles ahead of where doctors thought I'd be.Had used a different brand when I couldn't find an organic option. Worked for a while, then they changed something. Tasted different. Smelled different. And my body didn't tolerate it well. Saw organic option, gave it a try, and now back to exercising and doing stuff. I'm so thankful an organic option exists. This one's worked well and I've had several different bags over time now.Even so, unflavored whey is a tough taste. Texture is kind of tough too if you don't like clumpy soft things. Takes a while to mix up. That was kind of boring, so I just run it through a blender with some veggies and fruit. And voila. Faster, easier, and the blender can mix it up.It's not supposed to be a meal replacement. If I'm going to go out and do yard work, tree trimming, and whatever else, then I try to remember to take this beforehand. I like it.

I had been researching organic grass fed whey protein for days as I began recently revving up my high intensity workouts for weight management and overall health. And wanted to try whey vs plant proteins (which I've tried in the past). After much looking, I decided to get an isolate vs a concentrate. And I wanted something that was unflavored. Loved that this one only has one ingredient. However, I missed that this product was a concentrate, not an isolate. Most of them say on the front of the packaging 'isolate' or 'concentrate'. This item says neither but I did not catch it at time of ordering. I decided to keep it since I had purchased it when there happened to be a 20% off coupon. I was disappointed to see that the serving size to achieve the 21 grams of protein touted on the front is 5 Tablespoons which amounts to 14 servings. Instead of the 5 TBLS, I did 2.5 TBLS and used a scoop of the grass fed collagen which supplies an additional 11 grams of protein. In addition to the 3 items seen in the photo, I also add 1/3 c of organic frozen blueberries. I blend it in a Nutribullet. No issues at all with blending and I LOVE the taste! I do not like protein powders that are sweetened, even with Stevia because they are often overly sweet & sometimes cause stomach upset. This one is perfect for me. Last two points that were important considerations for me in purchasing this and will likely result in future purchases of it as well: I have Crohns disease and, therefore, various food sensitivities. I wasn't sure how I would respond but felt encouraged to read in external reviews that this one did not cause stomach upset for people as some of the others did. I have made shakes for 4 consecutive days and I'm happy to report that I have had no adverse effects, incl bloating, which I have experienced with other protein powders. Lastly, this one kept me satiated and energized for hours. So despite the fact that the price point is higher than some, I am pleased with the quality.

Great and no flavor.

All of the reviews on the company's website said how great this whey protein tasted so I purchased a bag on that information. If fact I almost bought the 5 pound bag which was a much better deal, but I thought that I should probably pay the higher price per ounce and get the 12 ounce bag, which I'm glad I did. Tasted horrible. Very chalky, which is maybe why the taste seemed to linger in my mouth all day. Really bad flavor that sticks with you. I've had some pretty nasty protein powder, but this was the worst -with maybe the exception of Hoffman's Weight Gain back in the 80'sTo be fair, I mix my protein powder with just water because I don't want to get filled up. It's hard enough to consume the proper amount of protein to build muscle without adding a bunch of extra stuff in your drink to make it taste better. Anyway, this stuff mixes so poorly with water that after finishing the glass you have pour extra water in the glass several times and mix the leftovers to get the full dose, which prolongs the agony.But I wanted to give the best chance possible, so I mixed it in the blender one time with water and a frozen berries. The result was that I now had to drink twice as much of this awful stuff.The bottom line is that NO protein powder tastes good, no matter the hype. But some taste better that others. Go ahead and try it if you like, but don't get the large size.

Pleasant neutral taste, very difficult to mix into cold liquid (ironically, I used it in milk). A bit sticky when scooping.
