Casein - 5Lb Micellar Casein Protein Powder - Bulk, Zero Carb, NSF Certified, GMO-Free, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Preservative Free - Stimulate Muscle Growth - Enhance Recovery - 76 Servings

The best Casein Protein according to me. Period. I have tried all sorts of Casein Proteins from GNC, and Online (Vitacost, Amazon, Bodybuilding.com, Biotrust etc), over several years. Almost all of them have chemicals and fillers (except perhaps Biotrust and Optimum Natural) and I will get more negative side effects than benefits. BioTrust proteins is a mix of why and casein blend, and they are very costly, and they do have larger amounts of Stevia, Inulin, sugar alcohol etc..Though reasonably healthy, BioTrust cost and the "fillers" put it out of reach for most. I also did not have any positive results from this brand. Optimum Natural Casein was my first choice till recently. Reasonably pure (at least no synthetic chemicals and junk), and decent price per pound, and average benefits. But I recently started on Naked Casein, and I am wondering why I did not try this before! It is the purest, most healthy Casein possible! Huge 5 pound tub, and with 1 serving a day, will last you 75+ days! Even with 2 servings, for the heavier users, it will last you more than a month, and it is very decent price/pound. The quality is amazing! I had great results within a week of using it. No gas, no bloating, no issues! I have used it in the night before sleeping, and have also had it during the day. And I felt energetic and wonderful. My sleep is good, no disturbance, no stomach issues. My recovery seems better. I seem to have gained positive results in the muscle department also, in just this 7-10 day period! (that is the quickest jump in results I have ever had in many years of working out). I am using Naked Whey and Naked Casein together now.. as my only protein supplements. Threw out everything else! Like many have said, it does not mix that easily by just stirring. But I am ok with the lumps! How does it matter? :) Why take more time with blender/mixer/shaker etc? :) Also, like some reviewers have said, it tastes just like diluted milk/milk powder. I do not need to add anything else, and can just have this powder with Water. However, I have added a dash of "Amazing Grace Green Superfood" powder at times, and not only does not help with better mixing, the shake tastes even better, and it is even more healthier! (You can even add a dash of Unflavored vegan protein powder like PlantFusion. No added sugar or extra calories, and better taste and a healther shake! I have also tried it with diluted Yogurt or Buttermilk, and this powder tastes great with all of them! Because my feedback and experience with Naked Whey and Naked Casein have been similar, and beyond my expectations, I wrote a detailed review for both products, and any of you looking at my reviews of Naked Whey, might notice an overlap of some of the info :) But both the "Naked" products are outstanding to say the least. I recommend that you do try it at least once.

Clean and Effective Protein no Junk Involved.

I got this casein powder to be able to replicate the tea lattes that I love from this tea apothecary I frequent. At $12 for 8 oz of tea, I thought I’d try to imitate (but never equal), and although it is the same brand of casein they use (they purchase a huge container of it), I feel that the powder I got does not taste the same. I find that it still makes delicious tea lattes, and I’m happy with my purchase.

It’s a good protein for what I want it for. But, the bottle should have more protein, the bottle comes almost half empty

I take it sometimes before I go to bed makes me feel really nice and full. It also definitely gives me a better night sleep. What I do is I mix it with just a little bit of water and make it into like a pudding and eat it that way, so I’m not consuming large amounts of water before bed and the pudding is just fine. It doesn’t taste delicious but it’s tolerable no sugars added nonsense in it. It’s really perfect for me.

Great stuff, blends well.

Good product. No artificial stuff.

I bought this item with the idea of mixing it with Amazing Grass Superfood products to add some flavor and extra nutrition. I was also looking to get away from the ON flavors and their sweeteners, though ON is not bad at all and uses few ingredients. Naked Casein costs something like 30% more per serving, but I decided to try it anyway. Others have likened it to powdered skim milk. I can agree with that. There is just a mild powdery taste. The downside is that the servings are two scoops of powder. If you're like me and you like to use two servings to get around 45-50g of protein in a shake, that is 4 scoops of powder. I'm not trying to say they rip you off or anything, as the serving count is properly labeled, but rather that this huge amount of powder makes for a very thick, powdery shake that is unpleasant to drink. To compound this issue, the powder is super fine and makes the water very frothy and airy. I use a large blender bottle with like 25 oz of water. I think I would need like 30+ oz. of water or more to make this palatable enough to be OK with me. That can be a bit much, as people usually take their casein shakes before bed and don't wanna have to down a huge shake right before sleeping. Aside from that, I can't comment on the gains I've gotten from this product, as I'm not a cyborg with measurable biomass particles attributable to a specific source, but I think it's fine. I haven't noticed a change since I moved over from ON casein. The amino acid profile is very similar to ON, which I think is a good brand. I think I will go back to ON when this tub is done. It's a good idea, the whole "naked" thing, but it's just too much powder for me. I love that there are companies that are pioneering (or throwback-ing) to all natural foods, but it's not quite enough yet to win me over for good. If they can work on the consistency and amount of the powder, it would be awesome... no to mention the added cost compared to their biggest competitor. At this time though, I think the ON shakes are just so much smoother and their flavors are not all that bad.

This product is great. As any casein powder it can be hard to mix but here's the hack : Mix it into warm regular cow milk at 35 ⁰C. You don't need a lot of milk. Half a cup will be just enough. That initial mix will be thick. Thats normal. Then you can add coconut milk, water or anything you want to achieve the desired consistency. But stick to regular milk at 35 ⁰C to begin with. You will see! The result will be day and night. No more chalky feeling...

It’s a clean product neutral tasting so easy to mix with other ingredients without adding taste

I don’t know if this is a great product, because I can’t find any competitors. This seems to be the only unflavoured casein on the market. I use it for everything. A scoop in my scrambled eggs, a scoop in my pizza dough. A scoop in my bread dough. It fits into almost any recipe l, adding a good dose of protein to any meal.

I mix a scoop of this unflavoured casein with a half scoop of my normal chocolate whey protein and 350ml of water in a shaker bottle and shake for about 20 seconds. There are no chunks or weird bits. It's a little bit chalky, but it's not bad and it cuts the artificial sweetness of the whey protein. I'm not looking for something that tastes amazing; just something that can go down the hatch and help me meet my protein target for the day. I'll be trying the Naked Whey next.

Based on the reviews, I anticipated a difficult to handle powder needing a high speed or a stick blender, or at the very least, a shaker bottle. I put 15grams of powder into a thin tall beaker, poured about a tablespoon or so of milk over it and stirred with a chopstick to see how long it would take to incorporate. I was surprised that it very quickly changed into a paste, or pudding-like consistency, and the lumps quickly smoothed away (not even half a minute). A tiny bit chalky in taste, but not unpleasant, and with a slight powdered milk flavor. It made a nice pudding with a bit of sweetener, dried coconut flakes for texture, and a few almonds to give it some crunch. From the paste, it incorporates any liquid easily, just by stirring with a spoon. Adding milk to it makes it taste like milk, without thickening it.
