Biochem By Country Life - Whey Isolate Protein Powder Natural 12.3 Oz. 58325

My favourite protein powder. No bad stuff or aspartame or sweeteners. However, it has only 20 g protein per scoop and it is a bit expensive compared to others in the industry. But worth it. I take 2 scoops at different times of the day. Blend it with berries and banana.

It doesn’t easily mix , taste is bland,a bit pricey.

LOVE this protein! Spent a long time looking at different proteins, but chose this one since I don't want a ton of protein or calories, especially since I also have this with a snack. 1 Scoop of the "Natural" flavor mixed with 8 ounces of Vanilla almond milk is DELICIOUS!! It is a bit clumpy when mixed with a spoon, but I personally don't mind that. Using a blender gets rid of the clump factor. Mixed with the almond milk, I thought this protein tasted very similar to a shake. I used the Sweetened Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Vanilla (it's a little bit better than 1% milk, no cholesterol, no saturated fat, about 10 less calories, but less protein). I just started a weight training routine along with my husband and wanted to add just a bit of protein, so we split the 1 scoop + 8 oz between us, & plan to only have this on strength training days. We both get a decent amount of protein throughout the day, and also have a little snack after the "shake," such as 1 tbsp peanut butter with Trader Joe's Multi-Grain Crackers and half an apple. That adds another 6 protein, so we have a total of 15-17 protein with everything, depending on portions. I am not very knowledgable when it comes to nutrition, but recently I have been improving immensely. I have noticed since I added a lot more protein to my diet (steamed chicken mostly), my body feels MUCH better and I believe protein is the reason I am recovering faster. I am still at the "beginning" of my exercise routine, but I do push myself further as things get easier. I have lost 18.5 pounds in nearly two months, based off changes in diet & exercising for 45 minutes to 1 hour 5-6 days per week. I'm hoping adding strength training & this protein powder will help me build some more muscle and further aid in getting healthier. I recently read a recipe for protein powder (you will need a blender) that claims to taste a bit like a Creamsicle. The recipe is as follows: - 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder (since Natural is slightly Vanilla flavored, this might be fine- if not, I'd imagine a touch of Vanilla extract would do the trick) - 1 Grapefruit (peeled) - A few ice cubes Blend and enjoy! I hope to try this out this weekend. If it's awful, I'll come back to edit that. I'd like to note that Grapefruit is very famous for its "fat burning" abilities (whether true or not), but check with your Doctor before having Grapefruit if you are taking Prescription medications- apparently it can be very dangerous & life threatening with certain pills. *Update: I hated the first recipe, but my husband enjoyed it. My favorite recipe uses Trader Joe's frozen berry medley (raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries). Recipe as follows: - 1 scoop Natural protein powder - 1 cup Vanilla almond milk - 3/4 cup Trader Joe's Berry Medley Blend & enjoy!

Powder is what I was looking for: a source of whey protein. It dissolves easily in smoothies and has never tasted "off" so I assume the quality is good.

LOVE THIS PRODUCT! I found this product after looking at the clean label project. It causes no stomach upset and I have the tendency to be sensitive to lactose. It mixes well with almond milk. I add a little chocolate syrup for some sweetness and flavor and mix it up. Pleasant texture and easy going down. I prefer the product to have no added sugar as I feel it makes it more versatile

This is an excellent whey protein powder without all the junk that you don’t want like artificial flavors, colors, preservatives etc....but they did change the formula so it is thicker and harder to blend. The old biochem was perfect! But this is still very very good with all the amino acids that you are looking for.

I purchased the 12.3oz container in the Natural flavor. This product contains no artificial color, flavor, or sweeteners. It is also wheat, gluten, and fat free. In addition to whey protein isolate (99% undenatured), the only other ingredients are natural french vanilla flavor, lecithin, and xanthan gum. That's the shortest ingredient list you'll find in a protein powder. One serving is 23.3 grams which provides 20 grams of protein which calculates to a purity percentage of 86%; the highest I've ever seen. The nutrition panel lists the following data for one serving: 90 calories, 0g fat, <1g carbohydrate, <5mg cholesterol, 0g sugars, 20g protein. The product tastes awful when mixed with water only. When I mix it with water I will throw in a half packet of Crystal Light Pure naturally sweetened drink mix which makes it delicious. You could also use that new Mio liquid stuff but I choose not to because it contains artificial sweeteners and colors. The container comes with a scoop buried in the middle so you'll have to dig for it. I'm very pleased with this truly natural whey protein isolate powder.
