Review: The Most Balanced Whey Isolate - Price to quality ratio this is hands down the best you’re going to get delivered to your door in two days or less. From playing sports as a kid to staying fit in adulthood I’ve tried it all. My preference is grass fed whey protein isolate. This is usually PREMIUM price. Did that for a while. Shopped around because of price and found NOW. Tried it. Loved it. Been on it for a year. Amazing. One to one performance wise. Swapped from a brand that costs thirty dollars more for almost the same product offering with no noticeable changes other than flavor. I’ve never been one to complain about the flavor of a supplement/vitamin. I see reviews for other supps where someone complains about the taste of a veggie capsule?! Like, huh? You swallow it? It’s not candy or dessert. The main objective is get clean* protein into your muscles quick. Not taste like a dessert. That’s my opinion when it comes to sports nutrition. You make greater sacrifices to get / stay fit than the taste of a shake 1 or 2x / day. Vanilla is better than chocolate, imo. Mixes fine, no clumps. I don’t use a ball in my shaker. Travels well in zip lock bags for overnights (I mix single serving with one scoop of creatine in the ziplock for easy use on the go - little travel hack ;) it’s not cheap but also for what you’re getting, it’s a phenomenal value proposition compared to others on the market. Vanilla is my favorite but will do choccy if it’s on sale. I had to write this review, I love this stuff. Very versatile. Review: High quality supplement - This is a high quality product produced by a long standing American company, known for producing a wide array of vitamins and supplements. I mix this in cold water and find it dissolves well, and the vanilla flavor is fine. There are no added sugars and the protein content is exactly what I wanted. ## Features - NOW Sports products are comprehensively tested so you can trust that our products are pure and effective for every level of athletics - PROTEIN POWDER WITH BCAAs: NOW Whey Protein Isolate is ideal for active individuals.

It says isolate, microfiltered, but which technique?** A: Hi Ron! We contacted the Product Info Dept. at NOW, and this is the answer they provided: Whey protein isolate is manufactured from sweet dairy whey using cold micro-filtration and ultra-filtration membrane technology. The product is then gently spray dried and "lecithinated" into a free-flowing powder that can be easily dispersed in water. This results in an non-denatured whey protein that is highly soluble over a wide pH range and has a very clean, bland flavor. **Q: Since most now sports products are low quality and made in china (creatine for example) - is this also made in china?** A: I spoke to NOW customer service on 6/20/22. The very kind rep informed me that all their whey protein is sourced from cows in Wisconsin and always has been. The people on here saying their whey is from China are very incorrect. **Q: It says microfiltered, but is the whey filtered under low temperature?** A: Yes. Now is a very reputable maker of many products. I have bought from them for about.....15 years or so. This particular protein has no flavor, but that doesn't mean it tastes bad. It just tastes, well, bland. I just put two scoops with cold filtered water, shake it in my bottle and down it. If u want flavor, I just add some of my kids strawberry Quick. I like no carb protein and this is it. Very high quality and not all the fancy price and advertising. **Q: the package looks like a large plastic bag? Are their 2 five pound containers inside the bag?** A: The 10 pound package is just a large bag with the protein powder in the bag, no other containers. I keep a smaller container from a previous purchase and refill it when I get the 10 pound bag. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Most Balanced Whey Isolate *by C***R on June 7, 2024* Price to quality ratio this is hands down the best you’re going to get delivered to your door in two days or less.

Very versatile. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality supplement *by J***B on May 5, 2026* This is a high quality product produced by a long standing American company, known for producing a wide array of vitamins and supplements. I mix this in cold water and find it dissolves well, and the vanilla flavor is fine. There are no added sugars and the protein content is exactly what I wanted. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Consistently high-quality *by D***M on September 9, 2015* Taste is quite subjective so I encourage people to try this for themselves. The vanilla is certainly sweet but not disgustingly so, in my opinion. It does have a strange smell but I find the taste pleasant and easy to like. I mix this with unflavored almondmilk and have been quite impressed at how well it dissolves; other brands tended to clump unless my shaking was quite vigorous. The 1.8 pound jar is a bit silly, in my opinion. If your'e using two scoops a day, it will last you just under two weeks. Unless you are constantly rotating to different flavors, or don't like the feeling of being "locked in" with a larger tub, just buy the 5 or 10 pound size and save considerable cash. If you're doing Subscribe and Save, you'll want two of these 1.8 pound jars per month. A 5 pound jar should last over a month. When it comes to product quality, this one has been consistently well-rated. Although I've not seen it at the top of any purity/potency test lists, it is always near the top -- and I think that speaks volumes. In particular, I think the repeated ranking means that it is consistent and that NOW is indeed turning out a quality product that you can trust. I'm always skeptical when a new brand suddenly appears at #1, or when something that used to rank near the bottom suddenly climbs 20 positions. My advice is to try each of the flavors in the 1.8 pound jars before committing to the larger ones. The vanilla is decent. The chocolate is similar to YooHoo but a bit bland. Strawberry is coming in my next Amazon order so I can't comment on that. I've not tried unflavored, but I suppose it would be a nice addition to an existing smoothie or recipe you already have. ## Frequently Bought Together - NOW Foods Sports Nutrition, Whey Protein Isolate, 25 g With BCAAs, Creamy Vanilla Powder, 5-Pound - NOW Foods Sports Nutrition, Micronized Creatine Powder 500 g, Mass Building*/Energy Production*, 1.1-Pound - NOW Foods Sports Nutrition, Whey Protein Isolate, 25 G With BCAAs, Creamy Chocolate Powder, 5-Pound --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/3256094-now-sports-whey-protein-isolate-25-g-with-bcaas-vanilla](https://www.desertcart.us/products/3256094-now-sports-whey-protein-isolate-25-g-with-bcaas-vanilla) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-09*
