Sports Nutrition, Whey Protein, 24 G With BCAAs, Creamy Chocolate Powder, 2-Pound

I am slowly but surely becoming a NOW Foods loyal customer. They bring a no non sense product to the frontlines. I have done extensive research on many proteins, and other supplementation products out there and they always come up as one of my top choices. I just ditched ON Gold Standard 100% whey because they keep cranking up their price on an otherwise basic product. I wrote ON to inquire as to why the huge price hikes and they retorted that it was secondary to the cost of cheese (whey is a byproduct of the cheese manufacturing process and the price of cheese has gone up, or so they say). I did some research to see if I could find another quality protein only less expensive than ON and I ended up with this one. It really isn't that big of a price difference; however, I wanted to try a different product and so I bought this. This protein is a cocktail, or blend of different whey species, most companies will do this because of cost effectiveness, and to increase the bioavailability of their product. In my opinion this stuff gets the highest regards to cost, flavor, digestibility, and ease of mixing. If you are into proteins that have IFBB endorsements, flash and shiny packages, this might not be your protein. If you are like me, and want to spend your money on a no non sense high quality product, you need look no further than this product, or ON's whey (I guess it is a matter of preference on ingredients). Things that I would like to mention to the prospective buyer of the Dutch chocolate flavor is that if you have a dislike for the taste of coconut, you might want to try a different flavor. Additionally, I use 1-2 tsp of natural cocoa powder to all my protein drinks for the antioxidant and flavors, this practice makes all my drinks taste the same. Mixed with water you really get a taste of this coconutty taste, but mixed with milk you barely notice it. The serving size is 70mL or 1/3 Cup and you get 108 servings per 10 pound bag. The big difference that I notice with NOW's Whey vs. ON's Natural Whey is that with NOW you get less servings per bag, but with ON's Natural Whey you get fructose. Save your old protein scoop because they don't provide one in the bag, or at least I can't find it.

This whey protein tastes great and mixes well. Really good flavor and smooth texture. For the price, it’s an excellent value and gives you a solid amount of protein per serving. Definitely worth buying again.

I was looking for a way to get more protein in my diet. I purchased this in a smaller amount to try it. OMGosh, it's sooooo good!! It's mixes easily too! GREAT price for the giant bag!!!

I bought a 10lb bag of this for under $100 not too long ago. For that price it is a great value. It is a pretty good protein blend with a great amino acid profile. It mixes extremely well with milk or water. The scoop was in the VERY bottom of the bag, which is frustrating. My biggest beef is the taste. It has an ok chocolate flavor, but the bogus sweetener taste is pretty strong. I will definitely buy this again as long as it stays pretty close to $100 for 10lbs. It isn't worth much more than that though.

Great quality whey protein with a clean taste. Mixes well with smoothies and water without clumping. Good value for the size.

I've tried several protein powders over the years, and I usually end up with uncomfortable gas and bloating. However, NOW Sports Nutrition Whey Protein has been a game-changer for me. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now, and I haven't experienced any of the usual digestive issues. The taste is pretty good too, especially if you mix one scoop with 8 ounces of water. Any less water, and the taste can be a bit too strong for my liking. The texture is smooth, and it mixes well without any clumps. Overall, I’m really happy with this product. It's been gentle on my stomach and helps me get the protein I need without any unpleasant side effects. If you’re sensitive to protein powders like I am, I definitely recommend giving this one a try.

The only alternative for the 25 gram protein bag. And still 11× better than any other proteins for values per serving to price ratio by far...

Taste great. Mixes easily
