No flavor, perfect protein!
Thorne’s whey isolate was my favorite protein but I needed to find a more cost effective, SNAP eligible alternative. I have IBS-C so I have to be careful about ingredients and there’s nothing for me to worry about in this one so I tried it. It is amazing, absolutely no flavor— a few people have mentioned a milky taste but I can only really smell that, not taste it— I’ve mixed it primarily with chocolate almond milk and in fruit smoothies and it goes down incredibly easy. So glad I found this!! No bloating at all for me because it’s just one ingredient- high quality whey isolate, no whey concentrate, sweeteners or fillers, which in my experience are all triggers for my IBS. Also LOVE the versatility of being able to mix it into any drink. 10/10 highly recommend, this is a game changer for me!!!

How does this compare to “Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Natural” ? Read on…
I ONLY buy all-natural protein (NO Aspartame/Acesulfame-k/Sucralose, NO chemicals or artificial colors/flavors/colors)! And anyone consuming protein is presumed to be inherently health-conscience, so why would anyone consider ANY protein powder with this crap in it? That is beyond me. There are 1,000 flavors (double-chocolate chip cookie dough, triple espresso fudge cake, cake batter, blue lemon truffle punch, etc…) I mean seriously? Are there millions of morbidly obese body builders out there who need their protein shake to taste like their favorite candy-bars and screw their health in the process?? Anyway, I’ll get off my soapbox, but for the rest of you who don’t want cancer or brain-tumors and actually care about what they shove into their bodies, then look no further than this protein powder! Ok, I’ve spent many days doing the research to see if I can de-throne my current protein king powder (“Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Natural Whey Protein Powder”) which I absolutely love! But wanted to see if there was something better or just as good for cheaper. Enter this product. Now, this review is to compare these two highly rated kings! These 2 powders are the best of the best when it comes to All Natural. To help with the analysis, please refer to the attached diagram. So, the bottom line is that for $1.00… NOW=39g protein, ON=30.9g protein. So, with NOW, you get 26% more protein for the same buck! Hows that for a “dollar menu” analysis. They are both highly rated and are both EXCELLENT choices… however, the difference is the ON has sugar (yes, natural sugar!) and has natural flavoring, so of course humans like sweet things so it gets the edge on taste (10/10 in my book… I literally love it just as much as a milkshake and it isn’t that sweet, just enough to be lightly evident but not unhealthy). Now, the reviews for this NOW said it tasted horrible and bitter and I was really afraid to buy it but due to the $ per gram of protein and appearing an even healthier choice compared to the ON, I thought I’d try it. Let me tell you, it is totally awesome! Now, not as awesome as the sugar sweetened ON, but for having nothing in it but 100% protein (no sweetner/flavors) it is totally OK!!! Now… let me preface these “taste” statements with one thing… I ALWAYS use milk in my protein shakes (16 oz milk – fat-free / 1% / 2% / whole) with 2 scoops protein, blend 20-seconds, drink. I thought I’d have to mix half/half of NOW/ON but I really don’t. The NOW tastes just neutral, like I’m just drinking milk (which I love) but the same or even a little better than just plain milk. Now, given that NOW has no sugar/flavoring, it is a “more” natural choice compared to the ON.. and on top of that, has 26% more protein per $1.00 spent… I’m totally sold! If I’m in the mood I can flavor it with vanilla, honey, chocolate, peanut butter, bananna. Or, it tastes neutral enough to where I don’t feel I have to drown the flavor out with any of those things… because at least with milk, it tastes great just by itself!! Plus, the NOW has the added benefit of being flavor-neutral for usage in recipes (w/o inadvertantly adding sweet/flavored(vanilla/chocolate) flavor to your favorite recipes. Another fringe benefit worth noting is that the NOW is still a 5.0 lb jug. It is not trying to sneakily down-size to 4.8lb (like the ON)… this is how manufacturers do it slowly so you’re still paying the same $50/tub but the tub is now a wee-bit smaller… evil, evil, I say. Anyway, both of these are my absolute favorite proteins, but taking a deep-dive into the nitty gritty details… there has emerged one-clear winner to rule all of the natural proteins out there (IMHO). Thanks for reading and I hope this helps you (I took out 3 hours on my day off to put this review together for you!). Let me know if this was helpful to you or if you have any questions. thanks!

Good Stuff!
I’ve been using this exact protein powder (Now Sports Whey protein isolate, unflavored) for 10 years! I take this at least once per day and occasionally twice per day. I haven’t tried anything I like better.I buy unflavored because I don’t like the artificial flavored taste. I have my own recipe that I’ve been using for many years that I will share with you…I’m not a nutritionist but in my opinion it’s a very well rounded meal replacement. This recipe taste much like a Reese cup or a no bake chocolate oatmeal cookie…In a shaker cup add 12oz of Silk Dark Chocolate Almond Milk.Add 2 1/2 tablespoons of Smuckers Natural Peanut Butter.Add 1/2 cup of oat flour.(you can make oat flour yourself by putting your unflavored Quaker Oatmeal into a food processor or blender. 2min oats blend best because they are already chopped more finely than old fashioned oats. Both will work though)And lastly, the most important part… one scoop of Now Foods unflavored whey protein isolate.Enjoy this shake along with an apple every morning. You’ll be full till lunch!It’s a lot of calories, which I’m totally okay with for my fitness goals but you may want to tweak the recipe for your own fitness needs.I say it’s well rounded because… I get my protein from the protein powder, simple carbs from the chocolate almond milk, complex carbs from the oatmeal and healthy fats from the peanut butter.It’s loaded with enough calories to carry a grown working man through the morning with having to stop for snacks. I’m also very active in the gym with free weights.Your results may vary.In closing,It mixes thin! Which I need for my protein shake recipe.It doesn’t taste terrible, even in water. (Just chase it with something with a lot of flavor and you’ll never even know you dank it.)It’s high quality with very few ingredients.It’s worth a try! Hope it work for you as well as it has me.
