Raw Organic Whey 5LB - USDA Certified Organic Whey Protein Powder, Happy Healthy Cows, COLD PROCESSED Undenatured 100% Grass Fed + NON-GMO + rBGH Free + Gluten Free, Unflavored, Unsweetened(5 LB BULK)

Healthy and tasty option for whey protein

Organic, grass fed, only one ingredient, and processed without acid or bleach. I look for minimally processed supplements without added flavors or sweeteners or additives of any kind and this fits the bill. I mix this in my morning smoothie (blended with a Vitamix) and the taste is neutral with no "gritty" taste or feel. I found that it did not dissolve well when "stirred" into hot or cold liquids, but it does fine with a blender. I have not tried using a hand held immersion blender stick, but I imagine that would work fine. I have hand-stirred it into plain yogurt and it is smooth and not gritty, and again, the taste is mostly neutral. If you add fruit or flavorings you won't taste it at all, but if you have it plain it will have slightly "milk-like" flavor, but it is not at all unpleasant. I buy it in the five pound bags for the best value. The amino acid profile is not provided on the bag, but is available on their website. I will definitely reorder as this meets all my requirements.

I’ve been buying this protein now for about 6yrs and believe this is the best protein on the market today. Is it a little finicky to mix, yes. Does it foam up, sure—but once you figure it out it’s fine and a worthwhile sacrifice for the superior quality of the product. In reality it’s foaming like this because it ISN’T stripped of everything with chemicals like most protein powders, and of course its concentrate and not isolate. Which I prefer anyways for the added benefits. Tips I’ve figured out to improve usability: - When blending or making a smoothing, blend up the entire smoothie without the protein first, get it where you want it, THEN add in the protein and blend for just a few seconds to incorporate. This will prevent any foaminess from happening. - When shaking it up in a blender bottle or glass jar with juice or water. Just shake vigorously until it’s fully incorporated and then let it sit for 5min or so. All the foam will reduce to a nice creamy top that’s actually delicious. - One of my favorite ways to drink this is simply water and a teaspoon of honey. My fiancé adds some vanilla as well and does milk instead of water—also good. - One of my other favorite ways is adding it to cold sweetened(honey) black ice tea and drinking with breakfast. When you shake it up and let the foam settle the tea has this rich creamy top, it’s delicious. Lastly here is a Ranch recipe I created using the protein powder that is ridiculously good! Ingredients: * 1/4 cup Raw whey protein powder * 1 tablespoon dried parsley * 1/2 tablespoon onion powder * 1 tablespoon dried onion chunks * 1 teaspoon garlic powder * 1 teaspoon dried chives * 1/8 teaspoon dried dill * 1 teaspoon sea salt * 1 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper Mix 4tbs ranch mix with 1 cup sour cream

The quality and taste of the protein powder are top-notch. The 5lb package offers an excellent quantity and serving size. But unfortunately, one of the recent packets arrived with a broken seal and spilled contents, requiring a return. The packet concept is excellent, but the packaging needs improvement.

Started with protein powder from costco, thought I was getting a deal, but realized that it contained sucralose, which is no bueno for gut bacteria health. A lot of people think that protein powder messes with their digestion because of residual lactose. The amount of lactose in whey is essentially zero, but just try and find a naturally sweetened protein powder out there. If it's vanilla flavored, it is at least partially sweetened with an artificial sweetener, usually sucralose. And sucralose wreaks havoc on your intestines. So I started using unflavored whey purchased here on the Amazon, but it tasted absolutely awful. I had to sweeten it a bit, mix with whole milk just to get it down. Fine for me, but the rest of my family was not on board. Luckily the company stopped offering the product, not sure why, but ended up finding this stuff, and it is the absolute best for taste. I seriously hope it is legit, because it is a total unicorn - tastes like actual milk, has no artificial sweeteners, is organic, and actually doesn't even have lecithin in it, but still somehow mixes with water as well as any I've tried. I buy organic vanilla beans here on the Amazon, put them in a bullet blender with sugar to make a vanilla flavored powdered sugar, and lightly sweeten this stuff, and it is not just bearable but actually enjoyable. It is expensive, but worth it for me.
