NOW Foods Sports Nutrition, Whey Protein Isolate, 25 G With BCAAs, Creamy Vanilla Powder, 1.8-Pound

First time trying their whey protein. I will say I am amazed by the quality and flavor. It goes down smooth. Does not upset my stomach. I can cut weight while maintaining my muscle and strength. They don't use artificial sweetners and they test for banned substances. What more can you ask for as an athlete? This is a great brand. I am using them now as my source for protein and many other products. I am very glad to have found this brand.

Mixes well in my smoothies. Seems to be a good source of protein.

I switched to the NOW Isolate from the NOW regular whey protein. Both are vanilla flavored but the Isolate has a strange taste to it. Almost like a plastic or rubber taste. The NOW regular whey tasted fine and I expected the Isolate to taste the same way. After using it for 10 days (just to give it a fair chance) I'm getting used to the taste. Updated to 4 stars.

Beat protein powder out there. You can add any fruit to it or mix it in yogurt. Great taste.

Price to quality ratio this is hands down the best you’re going to get delivered to your door in two days or less. From playing sports as a kid to staying fit in adulthood I’ve tried it all. My preference is grass fed whey protein isolate. This is usually PREMIUM price. Did that for a while. Shopped around because of price and found NOW. Tried it. Loved it. Been on it for a year. Amazing. One to one performance wise. Swapped from a brand that costs thirty dollars more for almost the same product offering with no noticeable changes other than flavor. I’ve never been one to complain about the flavor of a supplement/vitamin. I see reviews for other supps where someone complains about the taste of a veggie capsule?! Like, huh? You swallow it? It’s not candy or dessert. The main objective is get clean* protein into your muscles quick. Not taste like a dessert. That’s my opinion when it comes to sports nutrition. You make greater sacrifices to get / stay fit than the taste of a shake 1 or 2x / day. Vanilla is better than chocolate, imo.Mixes fine, no clumps. I don’t use a ball in my shaker. Travels well in zip lock bags for overnights (I mix single serving with one scoop of creatine in the ziplock for easy use on the go - little travel hack ;) it’s not cheap but also for what you’re getting, it’s a phenomenal value proposition compared to others on the market. Vanilla is my favorite but will do choccy if it’s on sale. I had to write this review, I love this stuff. Very versatile.

I've tried a bunch of different protein powders over the years. Most of them taste like hot buttered ass. But this one is especially bad. The only thing this has in common with vanilla, is that it's white. You know that taste you get in your mouth when you blow up an inflatable pool float? That's what this tastes like. And just once I'd like to get a zip-lock bag that actually zip-locks, and stays closed. The bag sucks. And I've transferred about 3 pounds of this 10 pound bag into a smaller container, and still haven't seen the friggin' scoop. Never again.

I honestly hate the taste but it’s is the best quality, seeing as it doesn’t have a boatload of sodium and cholesterol. Mixes great, nice full canister arrived on time but the taste is really throwing me.

This is probably one of the best whey protein isolates out there for the price. Dissolves well, has a simple ingredients list, no aspartame or sucralose(it’s sweetened with stevia), and the taste is pretty decent. I’m not the biggest fan of the flavor of stevia but it doesn’t bother me in this. It pairs especially well with chocolate almond milk.
