Naked Whey

It's always nice when a product exceeds expectations. Too many of the protein supplements on the market today are chock full of additives, preservatives, guar gum, artificial sweeteners, and "artificial flavors." Naked Whey stands in pleasant contrast. But, you may ask, is it palatable? Of course, taste is a matter of opinion, but what I truly like about Naked Whey is that it can be blended with milk, soy milk, yogurt, and kefir without altering their natural flavors. And it can even improve the texture. Whey to go Naked Whey!

I purchase this whey for the clean ingredients unflavored because I add it to my match green tea latte. I mixes well I love this Protein powder no flavor and no clumps.

I’m trying to get more into my health journey and as someone who hates milk this is a great alternative as I can add it to smoothies and stuff and I love how it has no flavor. I will say it has a slight hint of milk since it’s kind of dried milk, Ish not a big fan but when I make smoothies, it really covers it. That’s why I really love that it’s not flavored because I’ve had a bad experience with flavored protein powders and it really grosses me out but this one does a really good job and makes me feel nice and healthy and ready for the day as I make my smoothie in the morning and all I do is add fruit water a little bit of this powder and I’m good to go.

Smaller than most powder containers, also arrived with the innermost seal broken. Overpriced but as flavorless as can be.

This stuff is great, no fluff. It tastes better than all that other crap that has the sweeteners and flavors in it. It is harder to mix without the emulsifiers but it does just fine in a blender.

The first thing that caught my eye about this product was the attractive price, so I decided to try Naked Whey and placed an order. I currently use a more expensive top undenatured whey protein brand from Northern California which its milk is organic and comes from grass fed, pasture raised, antibiotic/hormone free happy cows. When I received my order I was happy to see that Naked Whey looked, smelled and tasted the same as the other more expensive brand I use, so I was ecstatic! Within a few weeks of using Naked Whey time came to place a second order, and that's when I saw a pattern that a few people here have described. Upon receiving my second order I was immediately disappointed, the Naked Whey looked different, it had an yellowish color to it as opposed to the usual, pleasant to look at, creamy color. It smelled different and the taste wasn't the same either. I've read lots of reviews here from people complaining about the same thing and I read the manufacturer's answers as to why this is happening and I am NOT convinced! Something is definitely up. The reason I say that with such confidence is because I have been using the other more expensive top organic whey brand I mentioned above for over a year and I NEVER had this issue. One of the Naked Whey manufacturer's explanation for this weird yellowish color in some of their whey is because "they do not bleach" their whey; guess what? The "top brand" I use does not bleach theirs either and their whey is consistently the same creamy pleasant color every time! Now, I have come across the Naked Whey heavy metals test (please see added link), my jaw dropped! All I can say is: Unacceptable! Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead and Mercury (especially the lead and mercury) are toxic in any amount to the human body and should be not present in any food designed for human consumption. I am a Nutritionist and food scientist/researcher, and one thing that Naked Whey folks might not know is that whey is extremely sensitive to light and should not be exposed to it, hence why the top brand whey protein I use comes in a package with an aluminum foil lining on the inside to protect and preserve the whey from the denaturing effects of light on whey protein. Maybe the clear plastic container Naked Whey adopted might not have been a great idea after all. In closing, I am not buying this product ever again based on these inconsistencies in coloring/smell and taste. I am not the first one to point this out here. I had a feeling there had to be a catch to that attractive price of $89 dollars for a 5 pound container of Naked Whey. I am feeling totally duped, but I guess you get what you pay for. Naked Whey is not getting my money ever again and I will return this yellow crap ASAP!

This is perfect for my lifestyle. Pure whey, not flavored and I can customize it as I wish. It tastes little bit like powdered milk, which I enjoy. I have been blending with berries, it is creamy and fulfilling. I don’t consider a meal replacement as it doesn’t have all vitamins needed. Perfect for who is building mass as it helps a lot for recovery. It doesn’t not dissolve easily. It clumps up, if mixed by hand. I use my smoothie blender.

Bought a couple of items from this brand and I'm really happy with the quality and clean ingredients, Also like the branding, just looks nice and simple. Overall good vibes with the seller and the brand and the quality. The one thing that you might want to consider lol...is that it at least has the potential for a very cheesy taste. I'm not sure if it's the product itself because it was left in a room that got verrryyyy hot over the summer! It was exposed to temperatures as high as the 90s, mayyybe 100. But so was everything else I have and nothing else really 'turned'. But this product either had or developed a strong, cheese-curd taste. Again, I'm not sure if it tasted that way originally or if it was a bad synergy with admittedly high room temps. But I absolutely can't handle the taste. It's like a strong cheese curd mixed in with a beautiful fruit smoothie, just so very unpleasant lol. But, for a lot of people who take this stuff I realize taste can be secondary or even enjoyable if you like a savory smoothie lol. If I was a nice guy like you looking for my next protein powder, I wouldn't walk away from this one based on my review, but what I would do is look through other reviews or message the seller if you care about taste. Otherwise I think the quality is very good, just not for me! I will continue to buy other products from this brand.
