Review on πŸ‹οΈ 5LBs Nutricost Unflavored Whey Protein Concentrate by William Hilzer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Suitable for sensitive palates

I ordered this to increase my protein intake before and after spinal surgery. I have sensitive taste buds so it was difficult to find something I could tolerate. I can't speak for its effectiveness in building and strengthening muscles or for any other reason other than using it to speed healing as recommended by my doctor. In terms of taste, I really wish there was a truly unflavored powder. It's like powdered milk I can't stand. The smell is similar. For most this will not be a problem. I'm just sensitive to taste. My only mixing choices are juice, water, or milk. I don't make shakes or smoothies. Once I added a little strawberry milk flavoring it became bearable for me. I understand flavored powders exist, but they made me sick. I feel like it has "thickened" my milk. In addition, it did not completely dissolve. I stirred and stirred for over 5 minutes (maybe that's why my milk didn't seem so smooth). I ended up just scooping small pieces from the top. It reduces the amount of protein, I'm sure. But for me it is not critical. In general, I do not regret the purchase. Being extremely picky, this suits my needs and makes it a little easier to eat more protein to promote post-op healing.

Pros
  • Protein
Cons
  • Slightly torn
