Native Grass Fed Whey Protein Isolate | 100% Optimum All Natural | Undenatured | Non-GMO + Gluten-Free + Soy-Free | ­Best for Fitness Shakes | Energy Smoothie (Chocolate, 5LB)

Clean and natural protein powder

I’ve been on the hunt for a clean non toxic organic protein that wasn’t chalky, thick, filled with fillers and gums and extremely sweet. This is by far the best protein on the market with less than 10 ingredients, not super sweet and not thick either. Blends well with a whisk, can’t recommend this protein enough. Been buying for 3 years, I’ve tried other brands that also contain about the same ingredients but nothing compares to this one. It is a bit pricey but you pay for quality.

I finally found a protein whey I can drink. Texture is ok I added ice and water and put it in my small blender so it mixes very well. You can add any kind of milk to make it rich but I’m cutting down on calories, so it’s only water for me. It is tasteless so I add 7 drops of stevia so the chocolate taste stands out. It controls my appetite for awhile. Value is ok since I know the quality of protein I’m ingesting. What I love the best that it’s has been the only one that goes great with my stomach. 31 grams of protein is amazing! I have tried many but I’ve found them extremely too sweet. This one I can add sweetener to my taste.

I'm in my third and final stage of the great summer meltdown (That's what I call it, nothing official there). Every year, I lose 20-30 pounds in summer then gain 30-40 pounds in winter, so since I'm getting older, I decided to not only aim for a 50 pound weight loss but also to cut my bodyfat in half. The unfair heads-up, for 22 years, I played sports at a top-tier level, baseball and football on organized teams and weekend basketball pickup game player. I'm familiar with which foods "work" for me. Which is why I turned to protein supplements to help me. My whole food intake is 1,250 calories a day. That's very low for my starting weight of 270. I'm very active between work, coaching youth sports and still playing sports. I cut out all soft drinks. That hurt since I love local drinks from my area like Dr. Enuf. I then agreed with myself to eat some fruit and drink protein shakes throughout the day. I have been a huge supporter of Naked Nutrition's products and still do use them but I needed more specific sizes in my supplements (especially 1 pound tubs) and Promix meets that need. In this last step, I have a bowl of fruit in the morning, blueberries and watermelon are my current favorites. Before lunch, I drink 1 Chocolate whey shake from Promix. I mix it in 10 ounces of Almond Breeze unsweetened Vanilla milk (only 30 calories). For lunch, I have a flatbread sandwich with tomato and lettuce on it. No condiments. Around 3-4 PM, I'll have another Promix chocolate whey shake. Once home, I have a fairly large meal, salad with grilled chicken and pasta, salad with steak, if I'm in a hurry I'll go with 3 flatbread sandwiches. I have vegetable snacks for the rest of the evening (bowl of raw broccoli, grilled asparagus, etc...) Then at around 10 PM, I drink a chocolate casein Promix shake (also with the Almond Breeze milk), but the casein one is 3 scoops = 1.5 serving. I also take L-Arginine, Citrulline D-Malate and BCAA. My "meltdown" doesn't end until September 1st but as of July 23, I'm down to 231 with a 12% bodyfat. I started at 270 with a 20% bodyfat. It's worked better than I expected it to. As for the product itself, this is the best chocolate whey I've tried. I don't know if I'm just used to eating less and now everything tastes better or what but when mixed in the almond milk this tastes a lot like my favorite chocolate milk (Promised Land). I experience no problems with digesting. Note the almond milk is because I do have some lactose sensitivity and this protein doesn't hurt that at all. I'm very happy with all of the products I've used from both ProMix and Naked but will say for chocolate the ProMix is better, at least to me. It's also very easy to mix. I use a simple Blender Bottle for the ProMix whey shakes. My son is convinced I'm trying to make a comeback in sports but he doesn't realize I'm doing it for my health and to show him you don't have to eat a bunch of disgusting foods to lose weight or to stay in shape. Six more weeks and hopefully, another 10 pounds and 2% bodyfat. Oh and I chose the Isolate form because I find Isolate easier to digest.

I bought this product (from this same product page, although the container was white instead of black) about a year ago and I really enjoyed it. It wasn't necessarily the best bang-for-your-buck nutrition wise; there were 25 g of protein for 155 calories, with 8 g of sugar. However, i really enjoyed that protein powder; when mixed with vanilla almond milk, it tasted like a malt milkshake that i found to be really delicious and i really looked forward to it after my workout. I also really like that it has no artificial sweeteners, since i have a sensitivity to them. But now, they've gone and changed the formula to where it has 31 g of protein for basically the same amount of calories, and whatever they did to it just does not taste good. It's chalky, doesn't mix well, and has just a weird bitter taste when mixed with the same vanilla almond milk. I'm having a really hard time getting through this container because I just don't like it and I'd rather eat something that tastes good and as such feels more worth the calories (with the almond milk, the protein shake is almost 300 calories). So it feels like a major waste of money, and I really regret repurchasing a full size without checking to see if it was the same thing.

I had high hopes for this protein powder because it’s sweetened with coconut sugar and I hate the taste of stevia / Sucralose in protein powders. It’s not sweetened enough to my liking. Other than that, a decent protein powder. I hate the packaging. The Velcro does not stick properly. I had to use several bag clips.
