Ascent 100% Whey Protein Powder - Post Workout Whey Protein Isolate, Zero Artificial Flavors & Sweeteners, Gluten Free, 5.5g BCAA, 2.6g Leucine, Essential Amino Acids, Chocolate 2 lb

This is a great tasting (vanilla) easy to mix, dose of protein that seems to have improved every muscle in my body. I’m an older man and lost a lot of muscle. Before I started this, I could barely feel muscles when I flexed. It was mostly squishy. Within a couple of weeks I noticed a big difference. I’m not ripped, don’t get me wrong but it’s a big, noticeable difference so yes, it’s effective. I must have been deficient in protein. I will be purchasing more of this and use it regularly. BTW, I don’t like anything with an aftertaste. This product doesn’t have that, it just tastes really good. I use 4-5 oz of water, I tried 8 but prefer it a little creamier.

This protein powder is amazing. At first I would just mix it with almond milk and the taste was pretty good but I could kind of taste the stevia. Now I blend it with frozen bananas and almond milk and it is SO GOOD. It seriously tastes like ice cream and I love it. It’s my first protein powder as I’m new to working out, and it keeps me feeling full and my muscles are growing so I would assume it’s helping with that as well. The ingredients seem pretty good compared to other protein powders which have less protein and more sugar. I love the mocha cold brew flavor (not a super strong coffee taste though)

This is by far the BEST protein I've ever consumed! I don't take the time to write many reviews, but I wanted to share my thoughts for those of you looking for a good protein powder. 1) I can't handle the many additives to other powders. Not only does it cause my stomach to bloat, but I feel terrible knowing I'm drinking a bunch of stuff that I have no idea what it is! This protein has clean ingredients. I have absolutely no bloating with this protein. 2) Can't stand the chalky taste of most protein powders. Seriously, I could probably eat this stuff with a spoon. GREAT TASTE, the best tasting I've ever had. I have added it to hot milk and cocoa for a great tasting hot chocolate, and I've mixed it up in cold milk and it tastes like a vanilla milk shake. Seriously, if you're on the line about whether to go with this protein or not, take my word for it! I will NOT be switching to any other. This review is specifically on the vanilla bean flavored.

This is my favorite protein powder and it arrived quickly.

Product is as advertised. Flavor is good. Definitely appreciate the absence of artificial sweeteners. Here is the only problem: packaging or handling of it. This my second order of the same product. The first shipment had a large hole and had protein powder all over the shipping box and the other 2 items included in this shipment. I was immediately refunded and I tossed the entire bag. I re-ordered it and the same thing happened again, but this time the hole was smaller...but in the exact same location. I kept this order and emptied the contents into the ON Gold Protein Bag I just finished. So I'm not sure if this is a manufacturer issue or an shipping issue, but someone needs to get this figured out.

Great flavor! Worth the price.

I bought the 2lb bag of the vanilla bean flavor of this protein because the larger 4.25lb version is available at my local Costco. I wanted to a smaller portion before I went all in on the bigger one.As far as taste goes, it is actually very pleasant. Most vanilla flavors are extremely bland, but the AFTERTASTE, is actually quite vanilla ice cream reminiscent. That being said, no vanilla protein is going to taste like a vanilla milkshake except syntha6, but syntha6 is loaded with crap ingredients.Mix ability was excellent, no clumps or solids after shaking for approximately 30 seconds with only water.As far as the negative reviews on here go. A punctured bag is by no means acceptable. I received one in good condition with no punctures. Plenty of people on here mention that the bag is not resealable, mine sealed no problem. To those that have had problems resealing their bags I would assume it would be because of one of two problems. One could be that there was a manufacturing defect, which would mean it wasn’t their fault to begin with. Two would be that the powder has made its way into the tracks of the sealing portion which would not allow good contact. The parts that seal together are not engaged prior to opening the bag, the bag is initially sealed with a removable pull tab.As far as taste, mixability, and quality of ingredients I would definitely recommend this protein powder to others. Especially if you don’t want any artificial sweeteners.

I only like vanilla flavored protein or unflavored and this one has a very clean and pleasant taste. Have used with banana and strawberry shakes and although there is a protein aftertaste, it’s one of the few i am totally okay with.
