Levels Grass Fed Whey Protein Powder, No Artificials, 24G of Protein, Chocolate Mocha, 5LB

I'm on my third container of this brand of whey protein powder, and I am such a fan of it! I'm awful about making sure I'm getting enough protein in my diet, this has really helped me to up my protein intake and make sure I'm hitting my goals. A lot of protein powders tend to not mix well, or have a grit to them that I just can't get past. This blends smoothly and evenly in under a minute with my blender and the flavor is great. Not odd tasting, and despite having stevia in it, which I normally can taste both during and after drinking something with it, it doesn't have that odd aftertaste, or flavor. I think it may be in part due to the addition of the monk fruit extract, and frankly, I'd pay more to have this with ONLY the monk fruit extract as it's sole sweetener since that's the closest to a "real" sugar taste that I've experienced. One of the main reasons why I really like this particular brand is the ingredient list. I have tried so many protein powders, and so many of them were full of ingredients that I had no idea what they were, or why they were needed. Now look at the ingredient list on Levels Grass Fed Whey Protein. 8 ingredients, all things I readily recognize. One container lasts me about a month if I'm only having 1 shake per day, less if I'm having 2, but compared to some of the other protein powders out there, or the pre made protein shakes in stores that are grab and go, I feel like this is really far more cost effective and affords me more control over my total calorie count depending on what I mix it with. Especially since 1 scoop of Levels Whey Protein Powder is 24 grams of protein, and other powders you need 2 scoops. Speaking of the container, the 2lb container is big and I hate the amount of plastic that I'm going through with these. There's only so many ways I can repurpose them. I hope that future offerings from Levels will include a 2lb mylar bag instead, so I can cut down on the amount of waste. The vanilla cinnamon flavor is great for protein coffees in the morning, blended with black coffee and a touch of a creamer or 2% milk, it's like having a latte. It's even good with warm coffee, although I prefer it iced. I am not a breakfast person, but it's so important for me to get my protein in the mornings, and this has helped me so much! I've also tried the Strawberry, which is very mild in flavor but it plays really well with other fruit flavors. For fun - some of my favorite ways to blend these powders: Protein coffee: 8-10 ounces cold (or hot, if you prefer) black pumpkin spice coffee, a splash of 2% milk, 1 scoop Levels, sugar free cinnamon dolce or pumpkin spice syrup to taste, blend, and enjoy. Add mini ice cubes if you want to make it more of a Frappuccino style drink. If I'm going to be out for the majority of the day, I double this recipe to fit into my 40 oz tumbler. If you want a thicker, higher in protein shake that's more like a milkshake, add 3/4 of a cup of whole fat plain Greek yogurt, 1 scoop of Levels, a splash (1/4 cup or less) of 2% milk to make for easier blending, and a quick pour of sugar free cinnamon dolce syrup. I swear if it doesn't taste like a cinnamon dolce cheesecake! I do a similar spin with the strawberry powder, blending it with frozen strawberries or peaches, Greek yogurt, a bit of sugar free peach or strawberry syrup, and I tend to forget that I'm having a protein drink and not an actual milkshake.

We go through a lot of protein in our house, and this Levels strawberry has become a favorite. It blends smoothly with almond or coconut milk, no clumps, no chalky or gritty texture. I really appreciate that it’s naturally sweetened and still tastes good, which is hard to find without paying premium prices. The flavor is light, not overly sweet or fake, and easy to drink every day. It helps us hit our protein goals without feeling heavy or artificial. We’ve also tried the vanilla and love that one too. Great quality, good taste, and solid value. This one stays in our rotation.

Between my husband and I, we have trialed many different protein powders over the past 10 years. I myself have been on a hunt for the cleanest ingredients when purchasing protein powder- and this is it! I use it daily to reach my protein goals for muscle retention. This powder has comparable grams of protein with other products, but the ingredients are so very different. Of course, the taste is not super sweet but that is because there are not the additives that create those extremely sweet and rich protein powders. I do prefer sweeter tasting things and found that the chocolate peanut butter is the best tasting. I have tried the vanilla and chocolate and very much prefer the chocolate peanut butter! The best thing about this powder is that it is 100% Whey. A lot of people may not have discovered yet that the kind of protein they intake can play an important part in overall health - especially woman. Certain proteins like A1 casein protein are highly inflammatory and are used in a lot of other protein powders. An A1 sensitive person can experience many terrible symptoms that are categorized as "dairy intolerance" but it really is the type of protein that cause reactions. You can trust that Levels protein powder has great, clean ingredients that will not only support your fitness goals but your overall health. If I were to pick a secondary flavor, I would pick vanilla. It does not clump up when shaken with bottle and taste so good on ice!

Good product. Mixes well. No chalkiness. Only 4 stars due to taste. Not a bad flavor just not quite as expected.

SO DELICIOUS VANILA FLAVOUR

Very tasty and works well in a protein smoothie.

Muy buen producto

Very good product

The unflavored protein is good and have clean taste. I also tried other flavor, mocha and vanilla. Both taste so bad. Too sweet and very strange taste of sweetness.
