Flexatarian Whey Protein Isolate, Vanilla, 2 Pound

This is a great whey isolate! What I like the most is the relatively short ingredient list and the lack of chemicals. No acesulfame or other untested chemicals! Because it's an isolate, it has little to no cholesterol, sugar and fat.I don't really understand the 1 star reviews. I have only used the vanilla and I always mix it with low/no fat milk (personal preference), so I can't speak for the chocolate or how it mixes with water.I find the flavor to be fine (certainly not objectionable in any way) and it compliments well for smoothies, pancakes etc. Sure, it's a got a little sweetness to it due to the stevia used for sweetening, but that's what happens with stevia. At least it's a natural, low glycemic, sweetner. It's not really noticeably more or less sweet in comparison to other protein powders I've used (Combat, BSN etc) before becoming aware of the unknowns in their lengthy ingredient lists.I haven't tried in a shaker cup, but it blends really well in blender cups. It's a little lumpy when stirred with a fork, but most are. It doesn't leave your tongue coated with a chemical flavor like Muscle Milk. This has been a great supplement for me.

Unlike whey blends and whey consentrates, Flexatarian Protein isolate feels light and not filling. I have always felt bloated or sluggishly full after using other non-proteins isolates. Because isolates cut all the added carbs, you get straight and as pure as feasible protein. If you're needing more filling meal replacement, using milk with your isolate makes a great shake.I haven't gotten the off smell that others have mentioned. Sub and Save to save some $$. Especially if you're going to be getting it over and over.Update: Been using this product for a while. Still just as good a when I first bought it. Supplements my protein intake.I have read some of the newer comments that talk about the taste/smell some more. I honestly wonder what these individuals think a SUPPLEMENT should taste like... a Hershey's bar? Ice cream? And then I imagine the diets and eating habits of these individuals that are writing these complaints. Anyway... great powder, doesn't have all the bs additives. Best bang for your buck.UPDATE: Well, it was the best bang for your buck. Sudden price hike has made this product not as great a deal as other options available. $68/5lb as of writing this. It was $20 less back in Nov. I think amazon must have realized that this is isolate and not concentrate or whey matrix (blend).

Overall good product for the price. Lots of protein per serving. The taste will not blow you away, however.

So funny how everybody has such personalized tastes. I've checked the ratings on about a dozen different proteins, trying to find a good one. And every single one has about 6 or 7 people giving it a one star and saying it makes them gag and is the worst thing ever. Not sure how these people get through life with such limited tastes buds! LOL! But this protein makes a great smoothie, tastes good, digests easily. Highly recommended! :)

I was a bit skeptical at first to try this new brand but I am glad I did! I love the fact this protein is all natural and is a good choice for the whole family! The chocolate is very flavorful, mixes smooth, and isn't gritty. Great price for the product and came within two days. I will definetly be ordering this again.

Great price, good ingredient list. Tastes terrible. Of course that's just my opinion, someone else may disagree. I find it's not good going down and leaves a lousy aftertaste that lingers. Has a slightly smaller BCAA profile to boot. Too many naturally sweetened, clean proteins with better profiles and taste. Yes you will pay more, if that's the overriding factor then cheers, and don't forget to hold your nose.

I've tried endless different varieties and brands of whey protein over the years. This tastes perfect and mixes in just fine. Get yourself a shaker cup with ball and you will have ZERO problems. Stevia, less sugar than others. This stuff is fantastic. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't know what they're talking about. I just tried this stuff for the first time and its great.

After several purchases, I am still loving this item, especially the vanilla. It tastes great and mixes easily. I bought this mainly for the low sugar and carbs, and it's almost cholesterol free. 75 servings at this price is a steal.
