Nutricost Whey Protein Isolate (Unflavored) 5LBS

This is my first time using a protein powder ever. I tried mixing it with milk and I didn't care for the taste. Then I tried mixing one scoop of protein powder with about 12 oz of orange juice - SUCCESS! Tastes great! I put the protein powder and OJ in a plastic bottle, shook it up, and it mixed well. Try it!

In my opinion, this is one of the best whey protein isolates on the market. What makes it stand out is how neutral and clean it is, it truly does not alter the flavor of anything you mix it with. I use it with fresh and frozen fruits, coffee, milk, smoothies, and other recipes, and it blends perfectly without changing the taste. The solubility is excellent, with no clumps, and the texture stays smooth and pleasant. I also appreciate that the odor is very mild compared to many other protein powders. The ingredient profile feels clean and simple, which is important to me, and it’s an easy way to increase protein intake without unnecessary sweetness or artificial flavors. And honestly, there’s a big difference between price and value. This product offers exceptional value for what it delivers in quality, versatility, cleanliness, and nutritional benefits. The price is actually very reasonable considering how much you get and how well the product performs. Definitely my favorite whey protein so far!

I’ve using this protein for a while now and it’s exactly what I was looking for in a clean protein supplement. Since it’s unflavored, it mixes well into smoothies, oatmeal, or shakes without overpowering other ingredients. It’s a great option if you want to control the flavor yourself. The powder blends smoothly with water or milk and doesn’t leave a heavy or chalky texture. It does bubble up abit so be sure to let the bubbles settle, for a couple of mins to air out Without any other flavor, it tastes like water-down milk. I also like that it provides a high amount of protein per serving without a lot of extra additives. The 5 lb container lasts a long time, which makes it a good value for the price. Overall, a solid choice if you want a simple, high-quality whey isolate that’s versatile and easy to use in different recipes.

I’m going to copy and paste what another reviewer wrote, because it is exactly what I would write, but Tl;DR, this has skyrocketed in price and at such an astounding rate that there is a zero percent chance that it’s inflation- it’s corporate greed, and it’s because protein is trending generally. “ I’ve been buying Nutricost Whey Protein Isolate for a while, but I’m extremely disappointed with the price increases this year. The 5-lb tub was around $60–$65 in January, and the price has continued climbing month after month. The price was roughly $62 in January, $64 in February, and $68 in March and April. By May, it had climbed to around $75–$89. In June, it was approximately $89–$90. Then July brought another major jump to $106.95, and now in August it’s around $107.95. That’s roughly a $46 increase, or about 74%, in less than eight months. The product hasn’t suddenly become 74% better, yet customers are being charged nearly 75% more for the same 5-lb tub. The biggest increases happened within just a few months, making the pricing especially frustrating to watch. At this point, the price is getting ridiculous. A product that was around $60 a few months ago is now pushing $110. That kind of increase makes it very difficult to justify buying Nutricost when there are plenty of other protein options on the market. I’ve been happy with the product, but I’m not happy with the direction of the pricing. Not that It will change anything because they clearly don’t listen to their customers (almost every review is about price), however I hope everyone reading this boycotts and refrains from buying their protein. Thank you for listening to my rant.”

Seems quite good, avoids excess sugar, good mixed with your own cocoa and flavorings to taste, "Isolate" is better than "Concentrate" if you wish to avoid excess fat and perhaps receive a little less sugar (lactose), decent price, palatable enough, dissolves quite well in 6 oz cold milk in a blender (but don't put it in hot beverages like hot coffee, it curdles). Nutricost website says, "Made in a GMP Compliant, FDA Registered Facility", but this statement falls short and isn't very reassuring, it would be nice to be able to read the actual chemical analysis performed by an independent reputable lab such as USP, this is always a concern. For instance, what is the actual measured heavy metal and lead concentration? The disclaimer "Do not use for weight reduction" is puzzling and a bit CYA, since this whey animal protein presumably has a full complement of amino acids, and undoubtedly many folks including myself are using it to boost protein intake while taking GLP-1 agonists and limiting calories. Thus we have to take some of this on faith, never a fully comfortable undertaking for something we ingest daily.

I love it. Best flavor ever, as I can make my own flavor and not get stuck with the same for a long time. I want chocolate? A spoon of cacao. Peanut butter? They sell peanut powder. But I actually prefer it unflavored, as I can mix it with yogurt or pancakes better. It dissolves easily. Furthermore you cannot beat the list of ingredients: just one.

I like this Nutricost Whey Protein Isolate. Since it’s unsweetened and unflavored, it isn’t chock full of weird chemicals like most. Just whey. I bought it to replace Unjury, which gets expensive. This is a very light yellow-tan, where Unjury is perfectly white. Don’t care. It is flavorless, so it doesn’t mess up my smoothies. I think it’s not *quite* as smooth in texture as Unjury, but the difference - if it really exists - is negligible. Quite satisfied.

Bitter taste and aftertaste. The Nutricost whey protein isolate powder mixes well with either vigorous stirring or in a blender. The consistency and texture once mixed is smooth, not grainy— and when done in a blender it gets a creamy quality which I like. The flavor of the “unflavored” protein does NOT have that slightly sweet milky flavor most other brands have, but instead it is very BITTER. If I blend it with fruit or other ingredients it masks the bitterness just slightly, but not completely. It’s hard to drink this stuff. There is currently a whey protein shortage, so I’m going to just choke down this bitter protein instead of returning it. If there were not a shortage causing all other unflavored brands to be out of stock, I would have returned this product. The macro nutrient profile is what I was looking for, but I can’t get past the taste.

このブランドは最高のコストパフォーマンスです。 値段も良い、味も美味しいです。

It's too expensive compared with anther brands
