NAKED Whey Vanilla Protein Powder - Only 3 Ingredients - Grass Fed Whey Protein Powder, Vanilla Flavor, and Organic Coconut Sugar, NSF Certified, No GMO, No Soy, and Gluten Free - 24 Servings

I love this whey protein powder. It’s high quality and blends well. There isn’t any stevia, monk fruit, or aspartame, which is great because there’s no icky aftertaste. Its solubility means there’s no clumping of powder when blended. I use it to add more protein to my diet. It fills me up for hours before I need my next meal. It has a long shelf life (duration) and I noticed more muscle when I was working out. A bit expensive, but worth it. It’s one of the best protein powders I’ve tried.

Ok, so here it is. I just got it and tried it immediately with a cup and a half or two cups of milk. I was scared because of all the reviews about it frothing up half way up the blender, and the gassines it causes people, even though it has a 3.8 star overall rating. So here is my analysis. Lets first start with my experience. This stuff did not froth up at all like purported by many reviewers, there was an itsy bitsy tiny bit of froth at the top, as with ANY shake that just went spinning at a fast speed in a container, including those without protein, lets say, a fruit and water only shake. Next, the shake was so creamy, the texture was better than an ice cream shake, but less heavy. So think light, smooth, velvety, yet fluffy, but not airy fluffy. It had enough "weight" to it to feel like I was drinking something with substance. There is minimal flavor, so it does taste like milk, but subdued since it does have a scent of vanilla...but not a fake scent, a very light scent/taste combination. Look, it is like drinking light cream. It is delicious just for that. Comforting if you are an over-eater, and satisfying for those who need a protein fix. Best of both worlds. Now, about the people whole say it froths up like crazy: Are you using a blender with a sharp blade or dull blade? I have the blendtec, which is like a vitamix, and like I mentioned above, there was no froth. I can imagine a sharp blade causing frothiness since sharp blades in general are bad-they kill vitamins, and the structure and mechanics of an inexpensive sharp blade blender are usually not conducive for culinary use on a molecular level. I was a student when I invested in my blendtec because that is how much of a difference a professional grade blender makes, especially if you rely on one often. Someone mentioned they used a vitamix, and it was still clumpy. I cannot imagine, now that i've used this product why it was clumpy. It mixed extraordinarily well for me, even better than cooca powder! As for the people complaining about gassiness...that is an issue with detox. Before I got on amazing Tibetan herbs, prescribed by an actual Doctor of Tibetan medicine, I was a bloated mess even after drinking water. No matter what I did to purge, or how much fiber I ate, I really needed to open up my energy channels and clear out stagnant pathways that are not just associated with digestion-everything in the body IS connected! The standard American diet, even if you do portion control, is so full of junk, that you really need to eat clean for quite some time before you can feel comfortable after taking a supplement. The enzymes in the body get all messed up if things are not clean inside. I had to travel abroad to a trusted Tibetan Doctor, who put me on a fast track to healing within months, faster than any naturopath here in the states could. Number one thing to do is stay way from toxins, especially when you later try to consume a milk product. Lastly, not to be gross, but since you live thanks to energy, and energy is heat and friction, in other words, energy IS gas, be happy with a little gas, it means your body is able to keep a balance ;) I personally think this whey is naked...just our insides need a little cleaning perhaps. Everyone is different, yes, so do what is best for you, but in my personal and humble opinion, I like this product. I will update after a longer use of time, and promise to be honest regardless of this raving review.

I love that there is minimal ingredients. I've been looking for a good protein drink that has more independent testing on its ingredients to ensure its safety. This one met those expectations. Good tasting, pry even better if added to a smoothie or oatmeal. You have to really make sure you shake it up good otherwise it can taste a little gritty.

UPDATE: I tried it again with a different fruit for my smoothie and I have to say, it is really okay. I used it with vanilla Greek yogurt and frozen strawberries and it was tasty. So I’m upgrading my review to four stars. Ugh. Horrible taste. I can’t place my finger on what it is exactly, but it’s cloying. Completely overpowered the taste of the strawberry smoothie I added it to. I’m stuck with a huge jug of this stuff, maybe I can find someone else to pawn it off onto. I appreciate the fact that it’s clean and isn’t full of a bunch of processed stuff, but the taste is just too much.

Excellent clean protein powder. Basic ingredients and sweetened with sugar, not Stevie, Monk fruit, Reb M or A, so it does not have any aftertaste. It's excellent protein powder. I hope they do their protein isolate this way too one day.

I just want a protein shake I can toss a banana or peanut butter(real, not palm oil) in with and not wonder what in the heck I'm putting into my body with all of these wild chemical listings in the ingredients for most products these days. We shouldn't have to be doing research for consuming basic food items. This isn't as sweet as other more popular items in this category. GOOD! I like the way that it tastes personally, but if you want it a little sweeter, use local honey from your region. It will be vastly better for you than any processed sugar or artificial sweetener in the other products. Trust me, I'm not a health nut by a long stretch. This is just simple nutrition. These chemicals in all of our food isn't good for us. This is a great price for untainted food meant for human consumption. Side note: Throw some creatine in there. Cheap stuff is fine as long as it's not some weird junk. It's good for muscles as well as brain function. Do your own research. It's not some weird body builders' mystery white powder that many think that it is. It's natural, we get it from meets, and most all of us benefit with more of it.

I ordered this protein powder to mix into my overnight oats because I wanted something with simple, clean ingredients. The fact that it only contains three ingredients and is low in calories was a huge selling point for me. Unfortunately, the flavor wasn’t what I was hoping for. I purchased the vanilla, but instead of tasting like a traditional vanilla protein powder, it has a more earthy flavor. In my overnight oats, the earthy taste completely overpowered the other ingredients, and I just didn’t enjoy the overall flavor. If you’re looking for a very clean protein powder, this may still be worth trying. It just wasn’t the right fit for my taste preferences, so I’ll be looking for another option.

I'm a protein newbie, not a life-long gym rat, but time and age are catching up with me and I was looking for a protein supplement to help rebuild muscle, and whey was indicated as the top pick for that. Lots of pros here: ~This stuff is delicious. It's only subtly sweet, not a cloying "dessert" flavor, that's a whole lot closer to malted milk than artificial vanilla. Even just whipped by itself into plain water it's still quite tolerable. Blended into a smoothie it's an ice-cream level treat of yummy. ~Mixes well without colossal effort. I never needed to scrape this stuff off the blender walls, it mixed right in quickly and homogenously without clumps. ~No artificial sweeteners. Some of us find sucralose, stevia, aspartame, monkfruit, the whole lot of it really nasty tasting, with an unpleasant bitterness that cuts through all efforts to hide it. Fun fact, many of these not-sugars are fermentable by GI microbes, which is a major cause of the uncomfortable bloat after consuming protein supplements. No fake sweetness means no GI malfunction (as long as you're ok with lactose). ~Does what it's supposed to. Just a scoop and a half in a small smoothie was enough to serve as a hearty breakfast and kept me full all morning with no snacking until lunchtime. Unfortunately, after a week loving my new protein smoothie for breakfast routine, I was really struggling with tiny but deep cystic acne. Turns out that a percentage of people have hormone cycle changes due to whey and casein protein supplements which result in awful breakouts, and sadly I'm one of those people. I absolutely would have bought this again, but looking like a pizza-faced teen is a major no-go so off to try vegetable-based or collagen protein supplements instead.

At first I didn’t like the taste and thought I should’ve not bought the big tub. But as Im taking it more, Im realizing how much I was used to those artificial sweeteners. This has a mild natural sweet taste that is just perfect amount. Plus all grass fed ingredients - cant go wrong. Im planning to reorder and will stick to this until I find anything betterz

Good

Bueno

The headline may not sound flattering, but I REALLY REALLY hate protein powders. They all taste chalky and hate the artificial sweetener after taste. Naked Whey, though it none of that. It is mildly sweet with a slight vanilla flavor. Absolutely nothing unpleasant about it, which is all I could ever ask for!

mixability is poor even after shaking to the point that the drink already became foamy. taste is so so
