Title: Great product but may come with wrong size scooper
Review: Great protein I’ve been a loyal nutricost customer for years but this order of whey came with the wrong size scoop. Came with a 67cc scooper which should be 80cc to get the full 25 grams of protein. This means if I use the 67cc scoop provided I’m only getting approximately 21grams of protein per scoop not 25. This may seem trivial but it’s important to fitness athletes.

Title: Perfect – no fake or chemical taste, no flavour just great protein powder 10/10
Review: This is what a protein powder is supposed to taste like – plain and simple. I’ve used protein powders for about a decade and kept searching for something that does not have flavour, the real or fake sweet taste or any artificial tasting thing. I used ON, Rule 1 and a few others. This is 10/10. I hardly give 5 stars.Only drank it today so will update if any tummy activities happen but i doubt it, so far so great 😀

Title: Good product – grass fed and good price
Review: Product seems pretty good. Mixes quickly. For taste, this vanilla is not the best imo, but not terrible..a little sweet for my liking. The one from ALDI tastes better and has creatine in it, but that has a lot of suspect ingredients. I may just opt for the non-flavored because this uses “natural flavors” which can mean other non-natural ingredients can be used (Google “natural flavors” meaning. I like the price per lb here esp with auto ship and it is grass fed protein. Definitely going unflavored next time. UPDATE..i am getting used to the vanilla taste. No vanilla bean listed in ingredients of course, but this taste is not that bad. Also, i dont know if this is 100% grass fed or just 50%. It doesnt tell me that.

Title: Almost Flavor Neutral
Review: I ordered this after doing a food diary and calculating my protein intake, which was WAY below what it should be for my age, weight. I wanted a whey protein, and a product that was unflavored or flavor neutral. After researching and reviewing Amazon reviews, I found this product was often at the top of lists and had high ratings.I wanted a flavor neutral, or at least no added flavors. As many have mentioned, it really doesn’t have much of a flavor, but does taste like powdered coffee cream or powdered milk (Neither of which I have had very often). It’s recommended to do one scoop per day for 30g of protein; but, I’ve been doing one in the morning and one at lunch. Just remember, if you’re happy with your current calorie intake, you may need to adjust, because along with the 30g of protein, you’re also getting 130 calories (and 120mg sodium, so be careful if you’re also limiting your sodium intake).I add to stone cut oats in the morning, and I add after the oats are cooked. It changes the consistency, so I added more water. I makes a creamier oatmeal, if you like that (I don’t, but it’s okay). I don’t really taste it much, so it’s okay. For lunch, I do another scoop in a milk/yogurt based fruit or vegetable smoothie. It makes the smoothie thicker, which I do like; and, I really don’t notice it at all. It’s not chalky or gritty, but you need a good blender, like a Vitamix or NutraBullet.So far, I’m liking it — it’s not magic that will make you feel super energized; but, I do feel less hungry in-between meals; so, I think it’s working. I’ll try to post more later.Negatives: If you get the 5 pound, it’s a large container; so, just think about where you’ll be able to store it — not really a negative, but just good to know. It can be a little difficult to use the scoop when it’s nearing the bottom of the container. Again, not a real negative… Finally, I wish that it did not come in a plastic container. I hate food item in plastic for too long, but almost everything is in plastic now…

Title: Wow!! Seriously…
Review: 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!

Title: Good way to get bone broth
Review: Reliable. High source of protein and especially bone minerals and protein. You do need a blender. Add it while the blender is running because it’s sticky. It doesn’t have much of a flavor and I added it to fruit juice. I order it over and over.

Title:
Review: 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.
