Ascent100% Whey Protein Powder - Post Workout Whey Protein Isolate, Zero Artificial Flavors & Sweeteners, Soy & Gluten Free, 5.5g BCAA, 2.6g Leucine, Essential Amino Acids, Chocolate 4 lb

I bought the 2lb bag of the vanilla bean flavor of this protein because the larger 4.25lb version is available at my local Costco. I wanted to a smaller portion before I went all in on the bigger one.As far as taste goes, it is actually very pleasant. Most vanilla flavors are extremely bland, but the AFTERTASTE, is actually quite vanilla ice cream reminiscent. That being said, no vanilla protein is going to taste like a vanilla milkshake except syntha6, but syntha6 is loaded with crap ingredients.Mix ability was excellent, no clumps or solids after shaking for approximately 30 seconds with only water.As far as the negative reviews on here go. A punctured bag is by no means acceptable. I received one in good condition with no punctures. Plenty of people on here mention that the bag is not resealable, mine sealed no problem. To those that have had problems resealing their bags I would assume it would be because of one of two problems. One could be that there was a manufacturing defect, which would mean it wasn’t their fault to begin with. Two would be that the powder has made its way into the tracks of the sealing portion which would not allow good contact. The parts that seal together are not engaged prior to opening the bag, the bag is initially sealed with a removable pull tab.As far as taste, mixability, and quality of ingredients I would definitely recommend this protein powder to others. Especially if you don’t want any artificial sweeteners.

Clean protein and it does digest very fast, it mixes very well with just water and flavor it’s very good even with just water. It’s not too sweet but just sweet enough, this is my third bag and is working very well i don’t have any complainsThe way i make it is just water pb fit one banana and one scoop of this protein in a blender and is amazing recommended

Tastes better than other brands. Finally a shake I like. I literally like about 0 shakes out there. I used to like shakes 25 years ago when i was drinkin mass gainer shakes. They smelled and tasted soooooooooo good. Either its because I drink leaner shakes or its because most brands got cheaper these days. This one is better though.

I don't know why it is so hard to find a protein powder that doesn't contain artificial sweeteners or sweeteners at all for that matter! This is flavorless and we have used it in smoothies as well as coffee. One scoop is 25 grams of protein.

Ascent is always my choice in protein powder. Mixes well in water. Tastes great. No gastro intestinal issues. Love vanilla flavor for yogurt and smoothies. Very expensive purchase. Twice as much as the chocolate I buy at Costco. But could not find it there or in the store so paid the price for vanilla.

I've used ascent protein for about 4 years. It's non gritty, easily goes into smoothies, homemade granola bars. A great supplement for reaching your protein goals

Best tasting Peanut Butter Chocolate flavor out there. The vanilla & chocolate are also great. Mixes super well, no clumps. I drink it with almond milk, whole milk or mixed in with nonfat greek yogurt and it’s amazing every time. I actually look forward to eating this every day. I wish they would release more flavors!

Tastes good, doesn't have the same harmful additives that most of the mainstream brands do.
