Naked Seed

This is perfect protein powder for smoothies! Very clean ingredients. This product blends well in smoothies and is easy to digest. Great value. I got the "unflavored" and it does have a bit of a natural seed flavor. I found it is tolerable with some chocolate syrup or Nutella blended in.

I have bought this powder a few times. I’m sensitive to a lot of things in protein powders (nuts, sweeteners, etc.), but seeds work for me so I was happy to find this powder with simple ingredients. It tasted okay in smoothies, with a pretty neutral flavor. I don’t use protein powder every day, and eventually my last batch went stale. As soon as you open it, it smells like sawdust, and tastes like it too. I’m not mad about that because it doesn’t contain preservatives. However, I ordered a new container, and as soon as it arrived it had that same sawdust smell. I tried it in one smoothie just to be sure, and I had to toss the whole thing. I don’t know if the product’s turnover is slower now, but I can’t purchase again and risk spending $30 on something that will go in the trash.

I love using this in smoothies and peanut butter protein waffles. Doesn’t make me feel bloated or gassy like other protein powders! Has a different smell at first, but blends nicely and I don’t notice it.

Once upon a time I wonder what it would be like to have protein powder in my chili. I didn't want chocolate flavor chili, so I hunted down this flavorless powder. Well, that was the worst chili I ever had. This stuff is like chalk powder - flavorless and powdery. That's exactly what I wanted. The good news it that it does mix well with other things. I mixed it with a rice stir fry and I couldn't even tell it was there. It makes for a nice protein boost when it mixes well. I recommend.

I find this protein to be similar in quality to Hemp Seed protein. As in it's mild on the GI tract and very inoffensive. I find it to be among the cleanest, most stomach-pleasing proteins I've sampled. However it is unflavored and the taste is awful by itself. Added to things like oatmeal it imparts a nice earthy, nutty flavor. This is NOT a convenience powder, but rather a nice additive to varieties of meals. Would be great to bake with. It is currently overpriced as a newer product in the line-up, however. 1 star for flavor 2 stars for value 3 stars for blending 5 stars for being a clean, healthy protein option that won't upset your stomach. Currently various brands of Hemp protein are a better value, though. Take it for what you will. Will keep my eye out for these proteins at a better price.

I bought this product because I can’t take any kind of protein isolates, whey, soy or pea. I didn’t expect good taste as it’s unflavored but the smell and flavor is SO strong that it is overpowering and there is nothing you can add to a smoothie that will cover it up. The texture is gravelly and chalky as well. It’s jsut awful, BUT it’s a very natural and healthy form of extra protein if you can’t take any other kind!

I like the ingredients because they are what every male needs. I suggest you follow instructions and use a blender because the water solubility isn't really there. I take it in the morning 1 tsp in glass of water and stir it manually. It is not good tasting but I don't mind it. If you don't like the taste try it in juice or smoothie like they recommend. Glad I found this product. (Your wife will be glad too!)

I am obsessed with the Naked Almond but it was sold out. Ordered this as an alternative and I am shocked at how awful this tastes. I never write reviews but save your money!
