Promix Whey Protein

I have bought the Vanilla, Raw Chocolate, and Peanut Butter flavors, and I must say I love them all. I had been using Less Naked Whey (Chocolate first, then Strawberry). I liked Less Naked just because of the purity of ingredients (no artificial sweeteners, gums, etc.). Because I have Crohn's Disease, I am sensitive to a lot of processed foods, particularly food additives. I didn't notice any issues with the Less Naked Whey, but it never mixed well (unfortunate "side effect" of no gum/emulsifier additives), and I wanted to try something new. Enter Promix. I bought the vanilla, and it mixed very well -- I just use a shaker with water post workouts -- and started incorporating it into more foods like smoothies, banana-based "ice creams," oatmeal, etc. It has a very pleasant vanilla taste with no aftertaste. The sunflower lecithin is probably the best emulsifier for any GI issues you might have and helps to keep the product in suspension. I am not a dietitian -- I am just providing my personal experience with it; you can investigate sunflower lecithin and other emulsifiers for yourself. So, I have since bought 5lb tubs of raw chocolate and peanut butter as well. All taste great, and there are only slight variations in calories, all from different amounts of fats. You will also get slightly different amino acid amounts depending on the flavor. If you are interested, you can check the labels to see if that might impact your decision. It's just protein; so, it's not a magic button -- you still have to put the effort into your workout, but it helps to supplement your diet if you are trying to increase your protein consumption.

Review for Vanilla Whey Protein. Container arrived double sealed with both plastic shrink wrap outer seal and inner foil seal. Initial aroma on opening the container: pleasant faint vanilla smell. Mixed 2 scoops with 600 ml of water in a 1L nalgene. Shook for 45 sec. Product was well mixed with no clumping. Taste: Good! The vanilla flavor is subtle. Very drinkable mixed with straight water, Flavor is similar, but better tasting than skim milk. Would make an excellent base for most smoothie flavors. Expiration date on container (3/2020) is 21 months from the current date. Lot # is printed on the container. Ingredients are clean and minimal. Some reviewers complained about added sugar, however 6g of cane sugar is only 24 calories. A can of coke has 39g added sugar. So added the sugar is minimal and does improve the taste. If you don't want sugar, then order the version without sugar. Comparison to Pro Mix unflavored Whey protein isolate. The vanilla version definitely tastes better and is drinkable straight, while the unflavored isolate version really needs to mixed with some other flavors. Both products are good. One thing I like about the unflavored is you can easily customized your own flavor mixes. Price: Yes it's expensive. You are are paying more for a higher quality product. Will order again when I run out. Cheers from Austin TX!

I have been buying this product for over 2 years, and unfortunately the product has now changed and it's not good!! Previously, it mixed well and was quite tasty. Now, the product has a chalky, silty, gritty texture and does not mix well at all. I've even tried adding Greek yogurt to get rid of the chalky, silty, gritty texture and it doesn't help. It's completely awful to consume. I really wish I could get a refund because it's not cheap. I recommend trying to find another brand.

I really liked this protein powder! Here's why: - One of the few protein powders I have seen that doesn't contain sucralose OR Stevia extract or equivalent but natural organic cane sugar - Great taste WITHOUT the gross aftertaste of sucralose. I mixed the vanilla flavor with 1/2 whole milk and 1/2 water and it just tastes like milk with a little sugar and vanilla flavor which makes it pleasant to drink - Mixes a little more easily than your average protein, but still makes a few small lumps on your spoon if you mix it that way. Using a shaker bottle with a mixing blade insert or mixing ball is recommended - Very refreshing to have a protein powder with only 4 simple ingredients (See Muscle Milk or other popular brands that have 10-20+ ingredients) - $80 for a 5 lb container isn't bad at all for a quality product. Walk into any GNC and try to pay less for the same amount and it'll be a challenge - It is un-denatured (does not show this on picture but was on the bottle that arrived) and from grass-fed cows However, there is a potential drawback to this protein powder: - Protein content per serving is less than I expected at only 25g per serving (1 serving = 2 scoops). My previous powder (GNC AMP Wheybolic 60 Power) was 20g per scoop (slightly larger scoop perhaps) - Again, a meager 25g of protein per serving is weirdly low. This may be because if they changed the serving size to 3 or 4 scoops then the sugar would be too high (6g per serving already). Labeling it with 12 g of sugar per serving would probably scare off many health-conscious consumers. Still, the serving size of 2 scoops doesn't make any sense! The bottle says to take 2 scoops on training days and 1 scoop on off-days. You can easily double this, if you're OK with the sugar content. - If you are sensitive to sugar or just trying to cut out any and all carbs and sugar from your diet, this may not be the one for you Despite the above, the pleasant taste will have you looking forward to your post-workout shake which will hopefully inspire you to workout more often!

best protein powder i've ever had. tastes great in smoothies and dissolves well, definitely worth the price. low calori - high protein ratio is also impressive.

Let me start with what I like. It appears to be cold processed, grass fed, clean whey protein, which are all good things. There are no artificial colors or sweeteners which helps w/ no after taste and leaves out all that garbage that our bodies were never intended to use. It mixes well (I always use a blender) and has 25 g of protein. Now for the downside. There is no taste or any "extras" to enhance your meal. I'm basing this on my standard protein that I use IDLife Shake, that has an amazing flavor and micro-milled chia seeds that help with smoothness/consistency w/ the shake, and also adds helpful omega's. I guess you'd say I'm spoiled on the best, but I thought I'd try another to augment our protein use at home b/c we use a lot! Otherwise, I would probably give it a 4 star. Feel free to contact me if you want to know where to get IDLife or if you have any questions. Hit it Hard!

good for smoothies i use it was bananas strawberries & blueberries etc

Yummy, blends well into smoothies, and most importantly, does NOT contain stevia or artificial sweeteners like sucralose (all of which make me feel sick). The tiny amount of maple sugar is just perfect!
