Transparent Labs Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate - Naturally Flavored, Gluten Free Whey Protein Powder with 28g of Protein per Serving & 9 Amino Acids - 30 Servings, Milk Chocolate

Here is my unpaid, unbiased review: Strengths: -The biggest strength is that TL goes out of its way to ensure and show that their protein is free of significant contaminants, which is something I was looking for. The Informed Protein and Informed Choice labels are good, but the real star of the show is the readily available CoAs which appears to be an unparalleled practice. I wish every brand had these. -28g of protein is very good. Many other “clean” brands I found have 24 or fewer grams. And you know it’s actual protein. -The texture is good, very smooth with minimal clumping. I have used both a shaker bottle and automatic blender bottle with similar results. -Chocolate flavor is decent, I’ve had slightly better but way worse. Reminds me a lot of Premier Protein’s chocolate flavor. Areas for improvement: -This is like picking out pimples on the face of a supermodel, but I believe NSF Certified for Sport and Informed Sport are both more stringent than Informed Choice. I’d like to see one of those make it on the label instead, even at the cost of being slightly pricier, but again, not a huge deal. -There’s also no typical amino acid profile I could find available on the website. Some other brands have this. It’s not something I pay attention to, but there’s someone out there who does, I’m sure. -For people who don’t like stevia or sunflower lecithin, those are in the flavored varieties. I couldn’t care less about these, though. -The flavor isn’t perfect - the balance between stevia and cocoa seems to lean a bit more towards the stevia side, but maybe that’s just me. Or else it’s because cocoa powder has to be minimal to minimize heavy metal contaminants. -It is a bit foamy at first after mixing, but quickly settles down after 1-2 minutes. But I cannot emphasize enough how nit-picky this is. Overall: great protein powder supplement, I plan to use this for the foreseeable future.

I bought this to use as my daily whey protein for smoothies and post-workout, and I’ve been impressed with both the quality and how clean it is. I’m pretty picky about ingredients, and I love that this is grass-fed with no artificial sweeteners - it feels like a product I don’t have to second-guess. What I noticed right away: -Mixes really smoothly in a shaker bottle, no gritty texture -Light, not overly sweet flavor (which I prefer since I add fruit) -No bloating or stomach heaviness afterward, which I sometimes get with whey Taste + texture: I’ve used it with both water and almond milk. With water, it’s very clean and drinkable. With almond milk it feels creamier and more like a milkshake. I also blended it with banana + ice and it came out super smooth. Results & use case: I mainly take this after workouts or as a quick breakfast when I don’t have time to cook. It keeps me full for a few hours and gives me a solid protein bump without feeling heavy. What I’d change: The flavor is mild, which I like, but if you prefer sweeter shakes you may want to blend with fruit or add a drop of honey. A slightly larger container size option would also be nice. Who this is perfect for: Someone who wants a clean, grass-fed whey with simple ingredients, good digestion, and a neutral flavor that works well alone or in smoothies. Overall, a reliable everyday protein powder that feels clean, mixes easily, and doesn’t upset my stomach - will definitely repurchase.

Fantastic Protein Powder! I’ve been using this protein powder regularly after my workouts and I’m really happy with it. It mixes easily with water or milk, tastes great (not too sweet), and helps support muscle recovery and growth. I feel less sore the next day and it keeps me full longer. The texture is smooth with no clumps, and it doesn’t upset my stomach. Great quality for the price and a perfect addition to my fitness routine. Highly recommend!

One of my favorite whey protein. The taste is superb, and the mixing blends with all the fruits and fiber you wanna add, I use the nutrí-bullet and doesn’t leave any clumps which is great. You can feel that after a strenuous workout you can feel getting energy and a surge of strength. Adds on to your total protein levels! Comes with a scoop that it is essentially one serving. Transparent labs definitely is transparent when it comes to the ingredients and no added colors or flavors which adds to how healthy it is and how beneficial to your caloric intake is! The seller definitely did its thing, truly sent the package in a timely manner and i received it on the time stamp that was announced which is fantastic! Very well executed and I’m extremely happy with it and will buy again from this.

I've been on the search for a while now for a protein powder that is clean label and offers a high amount of protein, and (if possible) tastes good. I've been through many of them and happy to say that I've landed on Transparent Labs. Just looking at the ingredient statement puts my mind at ease. Short of going to an all vegan-based protein powder (which taste horrendous), I don't see anything on the market that is as clean label as this one. Now that a lot of people are starting to pay much closer attention to the ingredient statements of things they're eating, I'm sure this product will continue to grow! Only reason I'm giving it 4 stars and not 5 is that I wish it tasted just a bit better. While the taste is really good, I wish it could come closer to something like a BSN Chocolate Milkshake. But regardless, all things considered, I'll accept the slight drop in flavor for the ingredients and amount of protein I'm getting from this awesome product!
