Product Reviews of Now Foods Whey Protein Isolate Strawberry 5 Lbs
Product Review: Great source of quality protein without the additives
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a huge proponent of NOW brand Whey Protein Isolates. I have tried 6-7 different brands and always come back to NOW. In addition to being free of aspartame, sucralose and artificial ingredients, NOW brand WPI is easy to digest because it contains only cross-flow micro-filtered isolate, the best protein available. I have tried the chocolate and now the strawberry, both of which are delicious in water and milk. My one complaint about the strawberry is that it is very prone to clumping. I will try to use warmer water as one person mentioned, or find that damn shaker whisk ball, but this is the only reason it is not 5 stars. Great product otherwise, the smartest choice for protein supplementation in my mind.Product Review: Horrible Service
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered this product for my husband on Friday May 8th and I still had not received the product by May 25th. I checked with Amazon and the seller and they said they would look into it. We did not receive any service in terms of refunds or shipping another protein mix from the seller. I would never purchase from this seller again. I was grateful that Amazon refunded me because we had not received the product. I would highly recommend buying this product from a different seller. Thank you!Product Review: Really flavorless!
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm so sick of "chocolate" protein that advertises "great taste!" but really ends up tasting like sucking on dirty pocket change. This one really, truly doesn't taste like much, so if you blend it into your smoothie, all you will taste is your smoothie. I've also put it in mashed potatoes, and that works great too. Just don't try to mix it with any kind of hot liquid; it will curdle into gross clumps.Product Review: They should be brought to court for lying
Summary: 2 Stars
Right on the front it says "Mixes instantly!". Well, let me tell you, this is an outright LIE. In fact, it is the slowest mixing protein powder I have EVER used, and that includes about 5 brands. Tried strawberry and plain. Cheap flavoring for sure, if you want flavor, go with Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard.
It mixes so bad, it's almost unbearable. However, I have found that if you stir it up as good as you can, then let it SIT for about 30 minutes, it DOES eventually mix in, but it sucks waiting, and if you can't wait, you have no choice but to "chew" your protein drink.
Finally, the scoop they give you is shaped like a fricken trapazoid...and makes you SPILL if you try to pour it into a sports bottle. I think they did this on purpose so you'll spill and have to buy more. Who in the world came up with that shape? Ever heard of ROUND???
If a smooth mixing protein matters to you, DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT buy Now brand!!! You have been warned.
Product Review: Unflavored leaves open many possibilities.
Summary: 4 Stars
NOW foods offers great natural products with minimal proccessing. I have used several other products of theirs all with good results. I find there prices to be very fair and all their products a high quality.
I have used many different proteins, with AST VP2 being my top choice along wth the NOW foods Whey. The AST is considerably more expensive, making the NOW whey a great bargain. I seem to notice maybe a very small change in results, but I was able to hit a lean and muscular 5.0% body fat using the NOW whey isolate with the same routines. So as far as effectiveness goes, this stuff works as hard as you, just like the AST.
Like most high-quality Whey isolate powders, this mixes very good. It needs a good shaking, and you may on occasion get a small clump. I find the colder the liquid the more likely clumping is. It mixes very well with milk.
The real nice thing about unflavored is that you can add any liquid or flavors to it you want. I have been using Simply Orange's orange mango with some vanilla hemp milk mixed in and the flavor is incredible!
I have used Hazelnut agave coffee sweetner/flavoring with cow's milk and water,chocolate cow's milk and even just plain old filtered water. The door is open for whatever you want, and it can be mixed with your favorite fruit juice adding a slight creaminess to it. So don't hesitate to get the unflavored!
