NOW Foods Sports Nutrition, Whey Protein Isolate, 25 G With BCAAs, Creamy Vanilla Powder, 1.8-Pound

Tastes good and love how clean it is, would recommend. You might need to mix it with something because of how clean it is it might now tastes as good for some. I'm okay with the taste.

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.

Mixes well in my smoothies. Seems to be a good source of protein.

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.

Price to quality ratio this is hands down the best you’re going to get delivered to your door in two days or less. From playing sports as a kid to staying fit in adulthood I’ve tried it all. My preference is grass fed whey protein isolate. This is usually PREMIUM price. Did that for a while. Shopped around because of price and found NOW. Tried it. Loved it. Been on it for a year. Amazing. One to one performance wise. Swapped from a brand that costs thirty dollars more for almost the same product offering with no noticeable changes other than flavor. I’ve never been one to complain about the flavor of a supplement/vitamin. I see reviews for other supps where someone complains about the taste of a veggie capsule?! Like, huh? You swallow it? It’s not candy or dessert. The main objective is get clean* protein into your muscles quick. Not taste like a dessert. That’s my opinion when it comes to sports nutrition. You make greater sacrifices to get / stay fit than the taste of a shake 1 or 2x / day. Vanilla is better than chocolate, imo.Mixes fine, no clumps. I don’t use a ball in my shaker. Travels well in zip lock bags for overnights (I mix single serving with one scoop of creatine in the ziplock for easy use on the go - little travel hack ;) it’s not cheap but also for what you’re getting, it’s a phenomenal value proposition compared to others on the market. Vanilla is my favorite but will do choccy if it’s on sale. I had to write this review, I love this stuff. Very versatile.

For the money it's good enough, the macros are fine but the flavor is just off. The aftertaste leaves a lot to be desired as well. Ironically when I bought this I was thinking to myself "how could someone screw up vanilla?" The good news is literally anything you put in this will be an improvement.

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.

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.
