Nutricost Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate (Unflavored) 5LBS - rBGH Free, Non-GMO & Gluten Free

This is a sleeper amongst protein powders. You cannot beat the price for grass-fed whey isolate. Best of all it only has 5 ingredients! No gums or 27 letter long emulsifiers. And it is sweetened with stevia leaf, so no sugar alcohols that are going to make you run to the bathroom or artificial sweeteners that are doing who knows what to your body. It also mixes extremely easily and tastes good. It is isolate, so it is easy on the stomach. I have never had any kind of stomach upset with it. I have ordered both the chocolate and the vanilla multiple times. The chocolate tastes like old school chocolate milk. Not overly chocolatey, but just enough to have that nostalgic chocolate milk taste. The vanilla is good by itself, but I like it best for throwing in the blender with a frozen banana and some frozen blueberries. Add a little plain greek yogurt to that and it is an incredible post workout shake or a really nice quick breakfast shake. I should also mention that it is third party tested which is a big deal in today's exercise supplement market. I have tried virtual every available whey isolate that doesn't use artificial sweeteners and a bunch of weird ingredients. Some of which cost double what this protein costs. I keep coming back to this one. It is clean, tastes good and just flat out does what it is supposed to do.

excellent, love the vanilla, tried all flavors and to me vanilla is the best by a long shot. I wanted to try the strawberry flavor but it doesn't come in grass fed version. grass fed is the only one i'll buy because the regular non grass fed version has sucralose and other bad stuff in it. make sure it is grass fed, and i highly suggest vanilla. I like to blend with spring water, fruit like strawberries or blueberries and 2 raw organic eggs. or sometimes no fruit or eggs, i change it up. also excellent with a banana mixed in. makes it go down fast and super smooth.

First time buying this. As soon as I got this I opened it and tasted it dry. I was pleasantly surprised. The taste somewhat resembles powdered milk which is no surprise since it is milk protein. All those reviewers that said this tastes terrible are picky eaters and have no tolerance for anything that doesn't taste like a chocolate sundae. I bought this because it has 2 ingredients, is whey isolate, is grass fed and no artificial sweeteners and flavors. I am looking forward to using it. This will probably be my go to protein powder.

The flavor has been changed. I've bought this product for years, and the flavor had never changed before, but the most recent batch I bought tastes different; like it has a slightly "fruity" flavor in it. The ingredients list graphic is different from before. Although the ingredients listed are the same, there is the ambiguous category "Natural Flavors" which doesn't specify what the natural flavors are. It must be in here that the new flavor was added. Nutricost has been a very good brand in my experience, but I won't be buying this particular product in the future unless I'm desperate, because I don't want my chocolate protein to taste like fruit; nor do I want to wonder what unusual and unspecified chemical I'm ingesting.

I’m really impressed with the Nutricost Grass-Fed Whey Isolate in the chocolate flavor. The ingredient list is clean, which is exactly what I look for in a daily protein. No junk, no artificial weirdness, and it’s gluten-free and non-GMO — big plus for me. The flavor is really solid for an isolate. It’s not overly sweet, and it doesn’t have that chalky or chemical taste you get from a lot of proteins. It mixes easily in water or milk with no clumps, and the texture stays smooth even when shaken, not blended. It’s also light on the stomach, which is something I need in a whey isolate. No bloating, no heaviness, just a clean protein that gets the job done. If you want a high-quality grass-fed isolate that tastes great and mixes perfectly, this is a great option. I’d definitely buy it again.

Consumer Labs rates this the highest of the protein powders and the 5lb plastic jar lasts a long time in the back of my garage fridge. Great value when you catch a price reduction! Not chalky, no detectable flavor or smell in anything, mixes in well - I use a Nutriblend single smoothie machine. I can also to add to baked goods and some cooked dishes. Perfect.

We have been looking for a protein powder drink that didn't have tons of chemicals and questionable ingredients. We found Nutricost and thought we would give it a try. We got the unflavored. Normally protein drinks taste like cardboard, of course I really don't know what cardboard tastes like, but Nutricost is actually not bad. There is no sugar or sugar substitute in it so there actually is no taste at all. You could put a splash of vanilla if you are making a smoothie, but probably not necessary. We like it as it has 30 grams of grass-fed whey protein and is non-GMO and gluten free.

Loved this unflavored powder for its ability to mix, consistency, texture, versatility, no bad taste, ease of digestion. Was sad though to learn of the recent reports on grass fed whey supplements often having higher than desired heavy metal levels. Discontinued daily used for this reason. Had this not been a reported finding with this particular product, it would have been 5 stars all the way. Do your own research. If this is not a concern to you, it’s otherwise a great product!
