(Unflavored, 2.3kg) - PROMIX: 1 Undenatured, Cold-processed 100% Pasture-based Casein. High Molecular Weight for Sustained Amino Acid Release, Lean Muscle + Fat-loss. 3rd Party Testing. Unflavored....

Five stars for what it is, not for what you might want it to be. This stuff does not taste good by itself. It just doesn't. Don't expect it to taste great by itself - it's just casein protein. Over time, you will get used to the taste if you drink it often enough. If you feel so inclined as to make a big smoothie or something before bed, go for it, but I am just trying to maintain/build muscle while I sleep without adding a lot of other calories; so, I just mix it with water in a shaker bottle about a half hour before bed. It's a little chalky; so, don't expect the same texture as whey, but it mixes fine - I shake it 20-30 seconds typically. I haven't noticed any digestive issues, per se, but it does what it purports to do: clots in your stomach for a slow release of protein. Want to get a glimpse of it? Try shaking it up in a shaker with just water and put it in the fridge for an hour or two. When you take it out, you will wonder if you poured casein or concrete into your shaker. This makes it a GREAT supplement for a protein "ice cream" that I will make from time to time. Take 4 frozen bananas, an avocado, 2 scoops of casein, 2-4 scoops of your favorite flavored whey -- I use Promix Raw Chocolate -- .5-1C milk or almond milk (more liquid depending on how much powder you use), and blend. You will have soft serve immediately that keeps you full and a lot leftover for later in the week,

Trying this for the first time. I have been using a similar product made by Muscle Feast. I noticed that the prices of both promix and muscle feast are volatile. I measure, using the one time purchase price, how much I'm paying per gram of protein instead of per ounce and today the difference is $.0012 in promix favor. So after 10 grams of protein, you save a penny. Doesn't seem like much, but over time, it will add up. I believe both brands are quality casein proteins. Differences between the two: Promix color is more light brownish in color, Promix clumps to the side of the scoop and I have to bang it against my smoothie container to get it out of the scoop. Both mix well and I don't detect any taste with the unflavored versions.

Unflavored is exactly as it should be. Unaltered sweetness or flavor. Mixed easily. Nice and thick of using only a little water.

Taste: I wanted a casein protein without any artificial sweeteners (aspartame, sucralose...). I didn't know if I would like something that has no flavor but when I mixed this (very easy to mix, no clumps). I mix it with Almond milk before bed and it just taste like regular milk which is great. In smoothies I'll use different frozen berries and it is awesome. Also doesn't have any weird chemical aftertaste like you get with other proteins. Quality: Promix has been around for years and when they come out with a product I know they've put some time and thought into it. I tried other Caseins (Naked, NOW) after trying Promix and I preferred Promix because it mixed more easily, had slightly better taste, third party testing, and sources from pasture based farms. I feel like my recovery has improved, I've lost some body fat and my energy in the morning is up and hunger down. Price: Great quality at a great price. I haven't found anything I like better and will definitely be re-ordering when I run out. Just for comparison of other unflavored I tried: Naked Casein is $10 more and and I preferred Promix, NOW Casein is $5 less but no where near the quality of sourcing, testing (NOW doesn't make a statement regarding hormone use). Promix Casein was the clear winner for me.

1. Almost didn't buy because of the bad reviews stating it was difficult to mix with water. 2. Turns out it mixes just fine with water...mixes just fine with half whole milk and half water as well...so I'm not sure if those folks just got an old batch or just have extremely high expectations. 3. I add some organic stevia to give it a slight sweet taste. 4. Reason I switched to this protein is because the casein from ON was giving me some kidney issues I guess. I always took it before I slept with plenty of water. Then the next day regardless of how much water I drank my urine was dark (I don't smoke, drink alcohol, a little fruit juice only after workouts, I literally only drink water). Granted I had been taking ON years for years at this point. I didn't pay it much attention until I started getting night sweats. (None of this has been verified by a doctor, just my personal experience.) 5. Decided to go grass fed organic with promix and boom my urine is almost as clear as water now and no more night sweats.
