I've been searching for an affordable protein powder sans sugar, artificial sweeteners and fillers. Most all-natural whey powders are too expensive IMO or they don't fully divulge their ingredients (On Gold Standard Natural). While Now is expensive in small quantities, it can be purchased in 100 lb. bags for $90.00. Nine dollars a pound is very competitive for pure whey isolate (it does contain less than one percent soy lecithin).
Nine out of ten reviews are positive, but a handful said this stuff tastes horrible and is inedible. I came of age when Rocky was drinking raw eggs and Weider powder was about the only thing available. Back then it was about consuming extra protein, taste be damned. I decided to try this brand thinking I could handle it even if it tasted horrible. To my surprise it has virtually no taste when mixed with non-fat, organic milk. I mixed it with a fork and there were no lumps. I haven't tried it in water or juice, but so far so good.
I want to recommend this product for clean eaters in the forum who may be interested. I'm also fishing for any negative feedback before I buy a 100 lb bag. If you've found something cleaner and cheaper please comment. If not, buy a small tub of this and give it a try. Beware of their flavored versions as they contain fructose.
Ingredients: 100% Microfiltered whey protein isolate (milk)(providing B-lactoglobulin, a-lactalbumin, immunoglobins and glycomacro peptides)and Soy Lecithin(<1%).
