Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, this protein powder is a must-have for achieving your goals and feeling satisfied with your progress.

First time trying their whey protein. I will say I am amazed by the quality and flavor. It goes down smooth. Does not upset my stomach. I can cut weight while maintaining my muscle and strength. They don't use artificial sweetners and they test for banned substances. What more can you ask for as an athlete? This is a great brand. I am using them now as my source for protein and many other products. I am very glad to have found this brand.

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.

I switched to the NOW Isolate from the NOW regular whey protein. Both are vanilla flavored but the Isolate has a strange taste to it. Almost like a plastic or rubber taste. The NOW regular whey tasted fine and I expected the Isolate to taste the same way. After using it for 10 days (just to give it a fair chance) I'm getting used to the taste. Updated to 4 stars.

This is probably one of the best whey protein isolates out there for the price. Dissolves well, has a simple ingredients list, no aspartame or sucralose(it’s sweetened with stevia), and the taste is pretty decent. I’m not the biggest fan of the flavor of stevia but it doesn’t bother me in this. It pairs especially well with chocolate almond milk.

This was one of my go to whey protein powder supplements since it had the BCAA's and the great nutritional profile and was at a reasonable price. Had been buying it for the past year. Would have given it 4 starts, however, reduced to 3 due to price change.Not sure what happened to the price - this was one the reasonably priced whey protein powders. It had huge price change - from $22.30 to over $45? That is just way too much for the amount of product provided. Guess will be trying to find another product, what a bummer. If you decided to buy, I recommend staying away from the unflavored version. Its really bad tasting IMO!

This has a artificial sweetner in it that might upset your stomach. It can cause gas, diarrhea and stomach cramps and It has a no return policy and now I know why. Because it said it was Protein isolate I thought it would be great. Then they had to put a sweetner in it that was just as bad as milk protein. The only reason I gave it a one star was because it has amino acids in it. The two reasons I purchase it was because it had amino acids and was protein isolate.

It has no flavor or aftertaste. Also not gritty or grainy. I mix it in with yogurt to get extra protein.
