Bluebonnet Grass Fed Whey Protein Isolate 26 g Energy & Workout Recovery BCAA Amino Acids - Gluten-Free, Non-GMO, Soy-Free Vanilla Protein Powder for Women & Men - 14 Servings

The best protein powder I've tried. Has the best flavor and consistency.

Very happy with this product. I add 3 strawberries, a handful of blueberries and half of a banana to almond milk with a couple of ice cubes. I sweeten a bit and use a blender. It is wonderful.

No after taste. Mix well with milk and fruit. Haven’t used water or juice yet. Will buy again. However, I miss the mixed berry flavor don’t think they make it anymore.

I have tried a few other unflavored whey proteins and this is by far the best I've tried. For me, the criteria for whey protein is pretty simple: 1) Needs to mix well - this one mixes very well with a spoon and a little water (always mixes better with water than anything else), 2) Needs to not taste bad - ok, it doesn't need to taste GOOD, but it shouldn't taste bad. This one actually tastes GOOD! I think because it's smooth with a neutral taste, but there is vanilla in the ingredients to give it just a hint of vanilla. Not strong, but just enough that it tastes pleasant. 3) Needs not to have a lot of crazy ingredients - Ok, this has some soy lecithin. For me, I don't care. Almost everything has soy lecithin. But it doesn't have any sucralose or anything else. 4) Not too expensive - this one is on par (cost per gram of protein) as most of the other protein powders.UPDATE: I downgraded my rating of this. I tried it again and it was hard to stomach alone. It's still a high quality protein, but I don't think it's worth the extra price. Now I use NOW Protein.

Blends well and good tasting does not take away from the flavor blended with it

I recently started doing P90x and wanted whey isolate to add to my post workout smoothie. I searched for days for a whey powder that I would actually want to consume on a daily basis. That meant that I wanted something tasty but without any artificial flavors/sweeteners and no added sugars. Sounds simple, right? Wrong! Most powders did not meet these criteria and even "natural" ones still had stevia in the ingredient list. Dealbreaker.I finally came across Bluebonnet's Whey Protein Isolate (Original). Short and simple ingredient list: Undenatured whey protein isolate, natural vanilla flavor. I was considering The Organic Whey (which is a concentrate, not isolate), and while I usually do not mind paying a premium for quality goods, it was Bluebonnet's pricing that won me over. $37 for 2.2 lbs. Compare that with Organic Whey's 1.5 lb for $65. In the end, I'm very happy I went with Bluebonnet.Opening the tub is like walking into a bakeshop--smells heavenly. And it tastes great! I blend 3/4 scoop of the whey isolate with some ice, a little nonfat milk (roughly 1/3 C), and half a banana. (This is why added sugar was a big no-no for me; milk and banana already provide that.) I was shocked when I made my first drink. I could not believe that something so tasty could be so healthy. Seriously, it was delicious! Like HarryPotterMagicBroomstickICantBelieveItsNotButter delicious. Okay, terrible comparison because I hate I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, but it was unbelievably good, and I am still amazed every time I have one. So, during a sweat-filled, heavy panting workout where I'm crying halfway through because...well darnit I'm only halfway through...I remind myself that I have a delicious drink waiting for me at the end.

I started with the vanilla, which is delicious. I also felt better, because I don't get enough protein. Then I started realizing the stevia gives me horrible insomnia, which immediately stopped when I ran out. Then I tried the original, no flavor, no stevia flavor. It's not bad like some people say. Doesn't taste like a milkshake, but does not really have flavor. Can easily be added to smoothies if you can't handle throwing it in some water real quick like I tend to do.

First of all, the taste is horrible, and then, why I write this review is that by consuming this product you agree to cancer causing agents. There is a warning about this on the container which I didn’t notice before buying this product, but after taking a sip I noticed a weird taste which prompted me to take a closer look at the ingredients, and there it was “Consuming this produce can expose you to lead which is known to cause cancer…” also this product is NOT eligible for a return
