Nutricost Whey Protein Powder, Unflavored, 5 pounds - from Whey Protein Concentrate

I love this tasty, whey protein drink. I drink the strawberry. 25g of protein in a scoop, and very low carb, and low fat? What's not to like? Much more economical than trying to eat lots of chicken breast meat, and honestly, tastier! I make smoothies with the powder, using skim milk and non-fat, vanilla Greek yogurt - even more protein! For a real treat, I mix a scoop of the strawberry powder with a cup of non-fat, Greek yogurt (no milk). It's almost like a pudding consistency! Anyone that works out, knows that protein is essential. This whey protein gives me what I need, at a reasonable price point, and it tastes great. It's ideal for a meal replacement. NOTE: the whey powder does NOT have all sorts of vitamins and minerals in it - it's stripped down. I make sure my diet contains other, healthy sources for vitamins and minerals, and I supplement. I've been very happy with this product. For those of you who don't like strawberry, the company offers other flavors. Or, no flavor at all, if you prefer! Cheers!

As a powerlifter, I'm about the protein/cost ratio and this one takes the cake. Taste? What a waste of time, go with plain as you're going to blend it up with other protein saturated tasteful ingredients. Protein content is on par with most other brands. Smell? I'm not sure why you'd smell it, as it's a protein that is suppose to go in your body, but if your canine instincts kick in and you think you have to smell everything you eat, there's not much there to smell. It's as effective as every other protein out there on the market, perhaps even more, as it is third party tested (which, all of your supplements should be, unless you wish to be a novice the rest of your life). Blends up just fine with the other ingredients of a powerlifter shake (eggs, bananas, cocoa, raw hamburger...jk). Will buy again when I finish this tub.

After being diagnosed with throat cancer, there were a flurry of specialists I needed to see. One of them was a nutritionist.Her main concern was in getting enough protein despite being unable to chew, and having difficulty swallowing. At the time, I was drinking pre-made protein shakes, sometimes throwing them in a smoothie. She suggested protein powder, which I honestly had not considered.The only ones I could find in the supermarkets around me were all flavored, just like the protein shakes. I'm not against stuff that is flavored, but I needed something more versatile. I found this unflavored protein powder.It's a perfect mix-in for the oatmeal I was able to eat. It didn't noticeably alter the flavor. One review said that it had a sort of oatmeal-y scent and taste. I agree with that, but a) I was mixing it into oatmeal anyway, and b) I also mix it into nutrient-dense smoothies, and guess what I also throw into those?The treatments are over, and the cancer is gone. Now that I'm getting back to a normal diet again, I still use this daily in my oatmeal. I use a spoon to mix it in after covering it with the milk I add (more protein). I often end up with some pea-sized lumps (which I then use the back of the spoon to mash against the side of the bowl to get rid of), and a good amount of lentil-sized lumps. The leftover lumps are all but unnoticeable as I eat the oatmeal - not once have I notice if I chewed one of these tiny lumps. In smoothies, this doesn't happen as that uses a blender. Any lumps that remain in my oatmeal though, I put that on my lazy prep and not using a whisk or something rather than against the product.I haven't tried this in a glass of water to see if the flavor truly is detectable in any recipe it's used in, but I've tried other things here and there and added the powder (threw it in marinara sauce a couple of times), and would never have known if it was there if I hadn't added it myself.I also agree with another review about the protective seal. Even using a knife, I often need 2 passes: One for the upper half 'ring', and then again for the bottom half. Then I get to play the 'let's see if I can get every trace of this paper/ foil covering off the mouth of the bottle' game. None of this is a complaint, by all means protect the heck out of the food I'm going to eat, and when I say game, I do honestly enjoy it!As such, I use about a scoop a day, sometimes an extra scoop once or twice a week, and the bottle lasts me a month and a half. Not a bad deal when a scoop provides 25g of protein!

I picked this powder based on good reviews and great macros. It has quality ingredients without any overkill. It is easy to use and mixes well, doesn’t have any funny taste or smell. It has been a great tool in my weight loss journey, providing much needed protein without affecting digestion whatsoever.

I got the vanilla 5LB tub, and I personally use it with a blender bottle and about 10oz of cold whole milk after every workout. It mixes really well — the texture is smooth, no weird clumping, and it does come with a scoop, so measuring is easy and clean.I am a 6-foot-2 male at 210 pounds and use just one scoop with my 10oz of milk daily.Tip for beginners:If you're new to powdered protein or just getting into working out, make sure you start increasing your overall nutrition, not just your protein. You especially need to up your fiber intake. If you don't, you'll probably deal with bloating, irregular bowel movements, and just feeling uncomfortable for a while. Also, don't rely on this as your only protein source — chicken is a great place to start adding real food protein to your meals.Overall, this is a great-tasting vanilla protein that mixes easily and doesn’t break the bank. Definitely recommend for this price point.

I love this protein powder! It is not chalky, has a good amount of protein in each scoop and doesn't have a strong smell. I put a scoop in my overnight oats and it doesn't make my oats turn slimy like some other protein powders do. It mixes thoroughly in liquid with no clumping. I also put a scoop in my strawberry smoothies with just strawberries, ice and water and the protein powder turns my smoothie creamy! Highly recommend.
