NAKED Casein - 2Lb Micellar Chocolate Casein Protein - Bulk, NSF Certified, GMO-Free, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Preservative Free - Stimulate Muscle Growth - Enhance Recovery - 24 Servings

Expensive. Tastes chemically. It’s sitting in the cabinet taking up space.

I’ve been working out and taking different protein supplements consistently for about 15 years. I decided to try this brand as a cleaner alternative to the casein I had been taking previously, and there were a lot of reviews on this product saying it tasted great and mixed well enough. I’m pretty sure those are either bots or people who work for this company that wrote them because this has to be the worst tasting protein I have ever had. Mix-ability was horrible. No matter how long I shook it up in my shaker bottles it would always end up chalky feeling. I usually take casein before bed, and the previous brand I was using was great because it would help me fall asleep faster. This does the opposite. After I’ve choked down the bottle of it, I lay in bed bloated for about 30 minutes or so before it finally starts to die down so I can sleep. I bought the chocolate flavor, which is a joke because it doesn’t taste anything like chocolate. Eventually I started mixing my Whey protein with this to help make it drinkable. Honestly pretty annoyed that it only comes in a 5lb container. I would have liked to tried a 1lb bag first to see if it was worth the ~$100 I paid for this. I guess I’ll be forcing this down for the next month and a half or so. I get what the company is trying to do by keeping the ingredient count low, and I do appreciate that, but I would suggest a warning that this is going to be VERY different than any thing you’ve probably used in the past. Don’t let the bot reviews fool you!

I also have a review for Less Naked Whey in my review history, it's a great product just like this Casein. One of my old athletic trainers used to tell me Casein protein is the "slow drip IV of protein". I have lots of things in life to thank for my size and mostly still muscular frame. I've always believed Casein protein is one of those things. The truth probably is, I'm hypoglycemic and with Casein feeding me throughout my sleep, I wake up feeling energized. For those with low blood sugar, they understand what I'm talking about. I was waking up with blood sugar readings of 37. Using Casein right before bed lets me wake up more in the 65-70 range. This Less Naked Casein chocolate is my favorite. I can take plain unflavored protein, but it has to be mixed with something like oatmeal. These Less Naked Casein and Whey chocolate powders have allowed me a whole new way to snack in the afternoon and at night. I really don't know much about coconut sugar except the anti-sugar crowd speaks against it being the lesser evil of table sugar. To me, it's a good sweetener that makes me feel good. I'm just drinking it as a shake mixed in water. The taste, as others have said, isn't very strong or sweet, but it's good and even has the smell of fresh chocolate. I don't mind the price either. If I wasn't drinking one of these shakes each night, I'd probably be drinking a local soft drink that costs around a dollar each. It's not a big trade-off price-wise and is helping me get back into good shape. Very impressed with this company and their various products. I'm currently using Less Naked Casein, Less Naked Whey and Naked Creatine. I have a 20 year history of taking supplements and believe these are the best I've used. The results are there, but I'm also realistic enough and experienced enough to know I'm eating better and working out more so results should be there. This helps me most with my nighttime cravings. Oh and I put the one negative on Less Naked Whey, had the same problem with the Less Naked Casein, the scoop takes a deep dive into the 5 pound tub. I had to use salad tongs to retrieve both of them. It's not enough to deduct a star, but it's worth mentioning in case someone buys some and thinks they forgot the scoop. It's down in there, you have to dig for it.

The results I had researched happen when I drink this before bedtime. I sleep much deeper, awaken less frequently. It seems my body is more at peace during the night. My taste buds are not as sharp, it it rather bland. I added 1 tspn of carob and 2 drops of Stevia, this really improved the taste!! I know this also helps the body recognize it as a healthy addition. For me, it has mixing challenges, I use a milk frother. This seems to mix it well, yet makes it almost too thick and frothy to drink. Today, I mixed it up, put it in the fridge keep it cold. Hoping by bedtime it is a better texture.

I use their whey and glad they have this product too. You’re not buying this for the flavor. It’s fine in flavor, just bland, hence only three ingredients. Personally I don’t mess with artificial sweeteners. This is nice because it also doesn’t have added sugar, letting me dress it up as I choose. Personally I like it with half milk and half chocolate milk in a blender bottle.

Tastes and mixes like sandy concrete. Maybe the worst taste and mixabilaty of any casin protein I've tried. Not eligible for return once opened. Would not recommend. Truly, so, so bad. Just say no.

Perfecto antes de ir a dormir Gracia

I was disappointed that I didn’t check the purity of this product before purchasing. Purity as measure of protein divided by serving size in grams 27/38=71% pure. That means that 29% is fillers, artificial flavors, etc. there are better quality products on the market. Purchased the chocolate and as other reviewers have stated, the flavor is weak. It seems to be a trend that these manufacturers are proliferating the market with low quality products. Do your homework.

Got a good feeling. Here are the combinations I tried. Chocolate casein + Banana +choc soy milk = 😋🤩 Chocolate casein + Banana + Soy milk = 😌 Chocolate casein + Banana + milk 🥛 = 🫤 Chocolate casein + 🥛 milk = 😬 Chocolate casein + water = 🤮

The texture of this protein is difficult to get past and no flavor. It's like tasting straight cocoa and swallowing moist chalk. I tried using it in recipes, smoothies and just mixing with water to get it down. I contacted the company to see if I could exchange/return the product and they were completely unhelpful. Just a response that said "we do not accept opened returns". This stuff is expensive and unfortunately I cannot support a company that doesn't provide good customer support or stand by their products.

Good large size, slow release protein

I think if you are use other brand proteins with special flavours or a strong sweet flavor you might be disappointed here. The flavor is really dull here. It's a very very light chocolate flavor. I use black coffee and a banana in with a touch of calorie free maple syrup. I'm just getting use to the lack of strong flavor. Plus side. I feel so full for a long time with this. It's a great morning protein as I normally don't eat till late afternoon or early evening.

I wish I liked this more 😭 it tastes pretty bad
