Bluebonnet Nutrition Whey Protein Isolate Powder, Whey from Grass Fed Cows, 26 Grams of Protein, No Sugar Added, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Kosher Dairy, 2.2 lbs, 32 Servings, Original Unflavored

This is AMAZING!!!!!! I love, love, love this protein powder. I've probably tried about 40-50 different ones, and this is hands down THE BEST! It's super fine and dissolves immediately. It's not pasty, it doesn't clump, it's perfect! It's as fine as talc. You can just put 1 scoop in a bottle with some almond milk, cold brew coffee... shake it up-- and viola! An low-cal, protein packed latte! You don't need to use a blender like many powders. No grainy/gritty taste at all! I put it in all my blended fruit smoothies, pancakes, oatmeal -- everything! It smells like cake mix... but it doesn't have any sugar! None of those nasty tasting sweeteners. All the flavor is coming from whatever your putting it into. I got several of my co-workers hooked on this. They love it too! It's expensive, but highly worth it! It's also the only protein powder I can get my husband to eat/drink. Try some, you won't be disappointed. YUM!!!

If you are looking for a simple whey protein supplement powder, this is it. There is no sweetener, which means no extra chemicals, no sugar (or sugar alcohols), and no lingering aftertaste. For me, it also means no gas, which I experienced with just about every other powder I've tried. I generally mix it with 8 oz water and let it sit for at around 10 minutes (or until I get back from the gym) to get completely smooth. No shaker required. It tastes like weak milk. I'm not going to say it's good, but it's way better than the flavored or sweetened powders I've tried. I'll often add a Nespresso shot. Then it actually tastes great and gives you an high protein pick-me-up, but without the unpronounceable additives.

Nice clean whey protein. I add to yoghurt and mix well before adding liquids (vanilla and maple syrup). Otherwise it gets lumpy. Perhaps a mechanical mixer would work as well.

I have tried a few other unflavored whey proteins and this is by far the best I've tried. For me, the criteria for whey protein is pretty simple: 1) Needs to mix well - this one mixes very well with a spoon and a little water (always mixes better with water than anything else), 2) Needs to not taste bad - ok, it doesn't need to taste GOOD, but it shouldn't taste bad. This one actually tastes GOOD! I think because it's smooth with a neutral taste, but there is vanilla in the ingredients to give it just a hint of vanilla. Not strong, but just enough that it tastes pleasant. 3) Needs not to have a lot of crazy ingredients - Ok, this has some soy lecithin. For me, I don't care. Almost everything has soy lecithin. But it doesn't have any sucralose or anything else. 4) Not too expensive - this one is on par (cost per gram of protein) as most of the other protein powders. UPDATE: I downgraded my rating of this. I tried it again and it was hard to stomach alone. It's still a high quality protein, but I don't think it's worth the extra price. Now I use NOW Protein.

Have been using this product for years, however, the last batch (purchased from Amazon) has caused a revolt in my family...it is weak and has an unpalatable flavor. The product is nearly gone and my family will not drink any more of it. Further, I will not purchase this product from any source again until I hear from BlueBonnet letting me know what has happened. From the container ID sticker: XOOOBJG1X (100638854) BlueBonnet 100% Natural Whey Protein Isolate Powder, Original, 2.2 Pound I just noticed that the label says: Manufactured for Bluebonnet Nutrition Corp. 12915 Dairy Ashford Sugar Land, Texas 77478 USA If Bluebonnet Nutrition Corp.does not make the product then who does? Also is it made in America and from American cow's milk? Respectfully yours, JBK Texas 07.14.2016 Called Bluebonnet directly and spoke with the Customer Representative. It turns out that my family objected to the Original Flavor taste and there was no product contamination or degradation. Did not know that the Original Flavor flavor existed because over all the years we used only the French Vanilla flavor (our previous vendors did not carry the Original Flavor). The Amazon 2.2 # container comes as the Original Flavor only. The Original Flavor has a terrible taste and I have been instructed to ensure that the Original Flavor is never purchased again. The attraction to the 2.2# size was its price, about $4 less than the 2# container. It was not worth the savings in my case. However, I am seeking a better price, either from a different vendor or a different product. All-in-all, Bluebonnet handled the process well. The product is made in the USA from milk provided by USA herds. They offered to replace the 2.2# container with more Original Flavor product. The offer was withdrawn when it was determined that the taste was the problem and not a defective product, and that we wanted nothing more to do with the Original Flavor. My familial insurrection was caused by a purchasing error, not a bad product. Have changed the review to four stars for THE FRENCH VANILLA FLAVOR, the Original Flavor is still a 1 at best. Respectfully yours, JBK Texas

I was an Optimum Whey guy for years and after starting a family I started to get more conscious about where my food was coming from. The crazy amount of artificial ingredients and metals in their formula made me realize I couldn't use their product anymore. Especially since my daughter wants a sip of my smoothie 90% of the time. This protein can be used for people who want to feed their muscles after a nice workout or start their day with a healthy breakfast...I like to use it for both. My review is also specific to this specific flavor...much better than their "Vanilla" flavor which has too much stevia for my tastebuds. The whey is 100% derived from grass fed cows. I emailed their customer service and they would typically respond within a day or two. I wanted to make sure there was no crazy marketing and that 100% of the whey came from 100% of grass fed cows. And I can confirm that it does. They are also working on non-GMO verification and hope to have that soon, but it is a costly and lengthy process as many know. This product is non-GMO though. I don't know why other reviewers keep harping on the soy...I don't have an issue with limited amounts of soy, but this product contains zero soy and has for some time. It contains non-GMO sunflower lecithin. MCT oil is just pressed coconut or palm oil typically...I didn't ask, but I may send an email on that. MCT oil is actually sold as a health supplement on its own. So the ingredient profile is low, the whey is derived from grass fed cows, and there are no GMOs. Those are the main things I look for now in a protein. I was using Source Organic Whey for a little while, but they are almost double the price. If money is no object you can't wrong with Source. Bluebonnet is a little larger company than Source and can afford to sell for less. I like supporting the little guy, but 50% less is just too much to ignore and it is not like Bluebonnet is a fortune 500. And then taste...I prefer my protein to have very little taste. I mix with a variety of fruit and your other typical smoothie staples...peanut butter, yogurt, cinnamon, or whatever I'm feeling that day. A lot of the new proteins that are trying to use responsible ingredients include stevia and that just dominates the drink to me. This pairs great with fruit and does not take over the taste. I would consider it very mild. I would never call it delicious on its own with water or milk, but I wouldn't call it bad either. Again...very mild. So from a guy who has used Optimum Whey, Optimum Platinum, Muscle Milk, Bluebonnet Vanilla, Source Organic, Jay Robb's (I think that is the name) and a few more, this is my absolutely number one seed when all is said and done.

I recently started doing P90x and wanted whey isolate to add to my post workout smoothie. I searched for days for a whey powder that I would actually want to consume on a daily basis. That meant that I wanted something tasty but without any artificial flavors/sweeteners and no added sugars. Sounds simple, right? Wrong! Most powders did not meet these criteria and even "natural" ones still had stevia in the ingredient list. Dealbreaker. I finally came across Bluebonnet's Whey Protein Isolate (Original). Short and simple ingredient list: Undenatured whey protein isolate, natural vanilla flavor. I was considering The Organic Whey (which is a concentrate, not isolate), and while I usually do not mind paying a premium for quality goods, it was Bluebonnet's pricing that won me over. $37 for 2.2 lbs. Compare that with Organic Whey's 1.5 lb for $65. In the end, I'm very happy I went with Bluebonnet. Opening the tub is like walking into a bakeshop--smells heavenly. And it tastes great! I blend 3/4 scoop of the whey isolate with some ice, a little nonfat milk (roughly 1/3 C), and half a banana. (This is why added sugar was a big no-no for me; milk and banana already provide that.) I was shocked when I made my first drink. I could not believe that something so tasty could be so healthy. Seriously, it was delicious! Like HarryPotterMagicBroomstickICantBelieveItsNotButter delicious. Okay, terrible comparison because I hate I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, but it was unbelievably good, and I am still amazed every time I have one. So, during a sweat-filled, heavy panting workout where I'm crying halfway through because...well darnit I'm only halfway through...I remind myself that I have a delicious drink waiting for me at the end.

I don't know what happened to this product! This is my third purchase and I had been enjoying it. The powder does not mix well, and ends up in weird thick clumps that don't dissolve or mix into a hot drink. It's very much unlike my other containers of the same mix. I think something changed with the formula, and in my opinion, it's not for the better. It's a huge disappointment, and now I have to move ve on and look for another product. This mixes so well in a hot cup of tea, so I use it everyday. I like the taste of it, and it has great health benefits too. It's a big container and the product last quite a while! I recommend it!
