Grass-Fed Whey Protein Concentrate - Undenatured, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Natural Flavors

I’ve been weight training for many years and have competed in the past. I take my nutrition fairly serious. I currently track my macros and consume a high amount of protein daily. I need to have several different protein sources handy in order to meet my goals. I always keep a few different whey proteins in my cupboard for simple consumption or for various recipes. Usually I consume at least one whey protein shake a day – typically post workout or for an added protein source. My staples have been the Optimum Nutrition Naturally Flavored Gold Standard 100% Whey in chocolate or the Levels Whey in chocolate. I refuse to consume anything with sucralose (Splenda) because of the gut bacteria imbalance it causes over time- so I stick with naturally sweetened (no sugar added) whey proteins. Both of these are naturally sweetened and good products, but the price on the 5lb container has been increasingly going up. I was checking for some alternatives and found this Nutricost Grassfed Whey. I really like Nutricost- I use a lot of their products in general. Like their glutamine, vitamin C powder, etc. I probably have 20 different products from them in my medicine/supplement cabinet and have used them over the years with satisfaction. Honestly, it didn’t dawn on me that they had whey protein?… When I searched and saw their brand- I immediately read on the product/consumer reviews… The ingredients in this specific Grassfed version are phenomenal and simple!… also the price point was really great comparatively. I decided to give it a try. So glad I did!! This will be my new go to basic protein. I usually don’t buy a whey protein specifically for the taste- although I always do favor the chocolate version. If you’ve dabbled in whey proteins you’ve come to realize that when the flavor is listed as “Chocolate Milkshake “, etc… they usually do not taste like that unless they’re full of unnecessary ingredients/calories. For me, whey protein is just what it should be, a way to ‘supplement’ additional protein in your diet… so taste takes a back burner for me… BUT this shake tastes phenomenal!! Seriously, I was truly shocked! Don’t let the bland packaging fool you– the taste is great and so is the mixability! I tossed 1.5 scoops with water, glutamine, and creatine post weight training for the first time in a Blender Bottle shaker and there were zero lumps, chunks, or gumminess… and the flavor was on point! Also, it did not cause any tummy discomfort!… You will not be disappointed. This will now be my go to whey protein. I have only tried the chocolate flavor, which truly tasted like milk chocolate. I will buy the vanilla soon for recipes… Enjoy!

Love product has no carbs and only one additional ingredient to the WP concentrate. It mixes well and I use the unflavoured one. I am not happy that I ship it from the US (food miles) but to date haven't found an Australian product with similar nutrition.

Delicious and does not froth which is great

great price

Okay, so I bo't this Nutricost whey, Raw whey, and Naked whey at the same time. All three are grass-fed, though only the Raw and Naked brands make claims to being sourced from happy, healthy cows. All three were purchased in the unflavored option. I found all three to blend just about the same, and all three to be basically tasteless. So, I think they are pretty comparable when it comes to those important factors. The Naked and Nutricost were about the same as far as convenience of packaging. The Raw has poor packaging (no scoop, bad closure on the bag), but I think their goal is being eco-friendly there. Nutricost is the cheapest, Naked the most expensive, with Raw falling in between. Nutricost does have an added ingredient, unlike the other two, which is sunflower lecithin. In sum, all three powders work just about the same, so the choice really comes down to price, packaging and "cow quality." Nutricost wins on price and packaging, Naked wins on happy, healthy cows, and Raw is in the middle--high on happy cows, middle on price, low on packaging. I think I'd pick Nutricost out of the three, because it is still from grass-fed cows, and is super cheap.
