Grass Fed 100% Whey Protein, No Hormones, Unflavored, 5LB

Very tasty and works well in a protein smoothie.

I received this today (the unflavored whey) and tried it right away. I put it in hot tea. Very disappointed!! It did not mix well at all. I finally had it mixed somewhat decently and tried it. The taste is not acceptable. I tried to return it and was told I couldn’t. I feel very ripped off. This product is approximately $90.00 - expensive! - and now I have to throw it away. Because I can’t return it? Money down the drain. I wish I would have purchased the vanilla flavor at Costco (much cheaper there by the way) because at least Costco would have let me return it. If this company believes in their product so much they should refund me in full for being unhappy. Otherwise they are not very reputable. This will be going in the trash. And I will be buying another product from a different company. I will update this to let you know whether I receive a refund in full. Not holding my breath. Update on 4/27: Changed from a 1-star to a 4-star review. I gave this a better try using it in smoothies. It works well for this when blending it in a blender. However I do not think you could use this in a jar and shake it for a smoothie. It just doesn’t blend up that well and needs a powerful blender to do the trick. Also - and this is important - if you are buying strictly to use in your coffee or tea, I wouldn’t buy this. If you want the full protein benefits of a full scoop, this does not work in a hot beverage. It doesn’t dissipate like some powders do. For the good news, as I said, this absolutely works in my smoothies. I have to assume anyone buying this wants unflavored. This is that powder. If you want your smoothie to be a bit sweeter add nicely ripened bananas. Also, I added some maple syrup. Very good! Extremely filling! Which is great. I think you will be happy if you are buying this to use in smoothies. I can’t comment on how it works in oatmeal as I haven’t tried that yet, but I think it would work well. And give that needed protein boost. So sorry for my first 1-star rating! That was pre-mature and unfair. But I do stand by my opinion not to buy this if “strictly” using in hot beverages. I think it will be a disappointment. However, consider buying it and making smoothies with it. I made a very large smoothie with 2 scoops of the powder and two bananas, 1 T of Maple syrup, 1 tsp. of vanilla and 2/3 cup of high quality plain Greek yogurt. I then divided this evenly for two servings for two days. This helps make it not so time intensive to do daily. The banana got a little brown the second day, but who cares! Tasted just as good. If you like things a bit sweeter you could always use 2T Maple syrup. Or just make sure the bananas are nice and ripe. Mine weren’t as ripe as they could have been.

I am really liking the fact that this is unflavored—it makes it so versatile because I can mix it with absolutely anything. Right now, my go-to is just mixing it into a cup of milk for breakfast. Between the protein in the powder and the natural protein in the milk, it easily keeps me full until lunchtime. Pro-tip: I highly recommend using a mini frother or mixer to help it dissolve quickly and smoothly!

Great product.

The easiest thing for me to do is to blend smoothies with protein powder. Most protein powders contain unnecessary ingredients. Specifically, most contain Xanthan Gum which causes the smoothy to be too thick for me. Pure, High-Quality Whey Protein! I have been using Levels Grass Fed Whey Protein Powder (Unflavored) for a while now, and it is exactly what I was looking for—a clean, simple protein supplement without any unnecessary additives. Each scoop delivers 25g of protein and 5.6g of BCAAs, making it great for muscle recovery and overall nutrition. Since it is unflavored, it blends seamlessly into smoothies, oatmeal, or even coffee without altering the taste. Plus, it mixes easily with water or milk—no clumps, no chalky texture! Since it is a protein concentrate, I feel full until lunch. I also appreciate that it is made from grass-fed dairy, free from hormones, GMOs, soy, and gluten. What I like about the product is: 1. They use quality ingredients. 2. No additives and no fillers 3. They are GMP certified. 4. They are competitively priced. What I do not like and what prevents the product from receiving a perfect 5-star rate: 1. The product is not third party tested. If you are looking for a pure, effective protein powder, this is a fantastic choice!
