Joseph 3/5
Acceptable substitute
Not as smooth as some premium brands — a bit chalky and with a slight chemical note — but it mixes in hot or cold and may be worth repeating depending on your priorities.

Katherine Fields 5/5
Solid choice
One of the better protein powders I’ve tried — simple and effective.

Joel Hernandez 5/5
Just protein, good value
Exactly what I wanted: a protein powder focused on protein alone. It has a slightly bitter, grassy note, but that’s the trade-off for a clean ingredient list. The 5 lb tub yields a lot of servings and mixes with less clumping than many blends.

No issues mixing
Blends smoothly with milk and even with chocolate syrup — no complaints.

The Mindfulness Guru 5/5
Tested and blends well
After reading an independent test that flagged a few products for metal content, I tried this. It blends quickly in hot or cold liquids and is essentially tasteless to my palate.

Clean, neutral protein
Neutral flavor, highly bioavailable protein. Cleaner than many plant options and well priced. I use a small daily portion in my shake.

MIKE H 5/5
Flexible and easy on digestion
Switched from a ready-made protein drink to this to control sodium and ingredients. The unflavored mix tastes fine with milk and hasn’t caused digestive issues. The tub is large and the scoop tends to settle near the bottom.

TRS 5/5
Nearly no added flavor
I picked this up after tracking my daily protein and realizing I needed more. I wanted an unflavored option and this fits that goal — it’s mostly neutral, with a faint powdered-milk or coffee-cream feel. I use it twice daily; remember it adds calories and sodium, so account for that if you’re monitoring intake.

Doily-58 5/5
Good nutrition, long shipping
I like that it has virtually no carbs and just one extra ingredient beyond the concentrate. It mixes well, though I’d prefer a local source to avoid long-distance shipping.
