Review on 🌱 Raw Organic Whey 5LB: USDA Certified Organic Protein Powder - Cold Processed, Grass Fed & Non-GMO, Unflavored & Unsweetened - Perfect for Healthy, Gluten-Free Lifestyles (5 LB Bulk) by Alan Lewis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This is a whey concentrate, not an isolate. I missed it!

I've been researching grass-fed organic whey protein for a few days since recently starting to ramp up my high-intensity exercise for weight management and overall health. And wanted to try a whey vs plant protein (which I've tried in the past). After a long search I decided on an isolate instead of a concentrate. And I wanted something unscented. I love that this recipe only has one ingredient. However, I overlooked the fact that this product is a concentrate and not an isolate. Most of them say "isolate" or "concentrate" on the front of the package. This article does not say anything, but I did not understand it at the time of ordering. I decided to keep it as I bought it when there was a 20% discount coupon. I was disappointed to see that to achieve the 21 grams of protein advertised on the front, the serving size is 5 tablespoons, which equals 14 servings. Instead of 5 tablespoons, I went for 2.5 tablespoons and used 1 scoop of grass-fed collagen, which provides an additional 11 grams of protein. In addition to the 3 items you see in the photo, I also add 1/3 cup frozen organic blueberries. I mix it in Nutribullet. No mixing problems and I LOVE the taste! I don't like sweetened protein powders, even with stevia, because they're often too sweet and sometimes upset the stomach. This one is perfect for me. The last two points that were important to me when purchasing this product and will likely influence future purchases of it: I have Crohn's disease and therefore various food intolerances. I wasn't sure how I would react but I was encouraged to read outside reviews that this product didn't give people an upset stomach like some others. I've been making shakes for 4 days straight and am happy to report that I haven't had any of the side effects, including bloating, that I've experienced with other protein powders. After all, this one kept me full and energized for hours. Although the price is higher than some, I'm happy with the quality.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
