I bought six kinds of “unflavored” protein powder to try to replace my favorite that was discontinued. And, Bob’s was the best of the bunch. The color is not as white as most which I’m guessing means it’s less processed. The texture is not grainy and blends great in a shake. The unflavored allows the fruit in my shake to shine on its own. Pricey, but worth it to get what I wanted. I wish it came in a larger quantity package. I’ve already re-ordered!For longterm whey users you will notice a real difference here- absolutely no fillers or artificial anything. You have to use more than the concentrated brands, however the "clean" feeling with this one is undeniably great. I ordered a second batch. Blends well with any flavors, just need to add a bit of stevia if using in smoothies.I can never find this in the store anymore but it's the best around. No flavorings or sweeteners to ruin it. I LOVE adding this to pancake mix, muffins, scones, or typical smoothies. It's such an easy way to make a snack more beneficial. Highly recommended!Am new to whey protein but need to add healthy protein to my diest. I add collagen to coffee was hoping to do the same with this. it sorta cooks curdles. However i do like cold coffee and i still use this stuff. A 1/4 cup is too much to choke down. I use 2 TBS which is half the amount and it reminds me of the flavor of coffeemate which is tolerable.Dont know if i will buy again but this is a trusted brand and that matters. Update have used the whole package my nails are growing collagen alone was not doing the trick. Nails still not perfect but i do dishes every day and i dont /cant wear the gloves so. overall satisfiedBob's Red Mill has always had quality products and I just started using this protein powder. I had done some research that whey protein could have a beneficial impact on HDL/LDL cholesterol numbers. Don't know if this is true yet but thought I'd add it to my diet. First time, I used less than a teaspoon mixed up in oatmeal. Within an hour I had terrible cramps, gas and nausea. And my tummy was making burbling noises. It did subside after I took a gas pill, but took the rest of the day to stop burping and cramping and go away totally. I then read up some more on whey protein, and sure enough, this is an effect on some, but not all people, of taking whey protein. I did not know. So if you try it, go with a small amount first in food--not the 1/4 cup they recommend on the package, as a 'serving size'. I'll continue to try small amounts to see if I can get used to it, and if it has any beneficial effect. The powder itself it quite fine, and only has a mild malty or even nutty flavor that will not interfere with anything you add it to. But I think that to start with a 1/4 cup as it states on the package, is too much. Digestive issues with whey protein seem to be quite common & I think the package should state that people might start with a smaller amount if they have any digestion sensitivities at all, before taking it.. So for those reasons, I only gave 3 stars.Not processed, sourced responsibly in the USA. Has a mild taste, reminiscent of malted milk, but not sweet. I put a couple of tablespoons in my morning coffee. I tried some in my oatmeal, but it really sucks up the moisture so is best in something liquid I think.This protein powder is great! It dissolves easily, has no flavor, and is ideal for smoothies and juices. I like the size, since I didn’t want a huge tub of protein powder. Just be careful opening it, as the powder comes out upon first opening.I enjoy the unflavored protein in my morning smoothie.
