Horrible taste that cannot be covered up
Believe the bad reviews. This is the worst tasting protein I've tried in 25 yrs. Tastes like unsweetened vanilla chalk. Worse still, it's unfixable. I've tried adding monkfruit, stevia, erithritol, and allulose yet nothings masks the chalky clumpy mush this powder makes. Stay away.

Very good protein powder
Very good protein. It has good flavor and it mixes very well and easy. I have yet to get any clumps. I also mix it with Kage Clean Burn Mango in the morning to get a good pump start to my day.

The Truth!!
I've been using this protein for quite some time, and I like both vanilla and chocolate. I started using it because it doesn't have the added sugar and with the vanilla, I can make a smoothie and add fruit and vegetable of my choice and it really taste great.

Worst recovery flavor ever.
Most awful tasting protein powder ever. I'm a lifelong endurance athlete and have consumed dozens of recovery drinks. By far the worst with no customer satisfaction guarantee.

Wost whey protein ever -- literally no redeeming qualities
This is easily the worst whey protein product I have ever purchased. I literally almost threw the whole thing out after the first shake I made, but i didn't want to waste the money I'd spent. The taste (allegedly vanilla) was awful -- tasted like a mix of eggnog and paint thinner. It mixes very poorly and I always end up with large clumps. I've started mixing it with chocolate syrup or something similar, and that makes it a bit more palatable. Folks, don't be tempted to buy this just because of the good price.

Strong strong flavor
Has a distinct vanilla flavor that I can't get past and overpowers everything (even when baking with it). Other than that it's good, I love the unflavored version

My Go-To Protein powder
The chocolate flavor is by far my favorite of all the protein powders that I've tried. Zero artificial sweeteners is the reason that I first tried it, I really like that about it. It mixes easily in a shaker.

I have many mutations and need a whey for the glutathione that is in natural whey while avoiding some other things like folic acid, b12 and grams of glutamine and cysteine. But there is very little info on this label, esp. the aa profile with grams of ingredients.I have contacted VS and they are going send me a full ingredient list I hope.So, what are the ingredients?np
Nancy P.
Does this product contain any BCAA's?
A shopper

Best Answer:  Only the naturally occurring BCAAs that are from whey. There aren't any added BCAAs.

Daniel T
Says it contains soy? Is this GMO free because everything soy pretty much contains GMO's.
A shopper

Best Answer:  The product doesn't state on it anywhere, (that I can find) saying it is GMO free. Most places proudly place "NON GMO" right on their labels. I was told by a friend that it only states "Soy" because it's made in a factory that produces soy product. I wish I could be more helpful than that to you.

Jodi B
Product does not blend well even though using a blender ball...it still has clumps!!! Does anyone else have this problem?
A shopper

Best Answer:  I found VS True Athlete Natural Whey Protein to mix easily, tastes great and mixes easily with anything...juice, soy milk, water, fruit, etc. No clumping, no problems! I even used a little VS shaker cup at times (w/o fruit, of course!)

Laura D
does it make you gain weight?
A shopper

Best Answer:  No.

Jeneth T
How much Soy does this contain?
M U

Best Answer:  It doesn't contain any. The statement on the container is only because it's made in a factory that also produces soy products.

Jodi B
How much phosphorous is in a scoop?
A shopper

Best Answer:  The "True Athlete Natural Whey Protein" powder appears to have no phosphorus at all. Check the Vitaminshoppe website listing for this product, click on "supplement facts", and it will show a list of the amounts of all the nutrients that are in it.

Leslie
How many times should I consume this on a daily basis 2 times per day or will 3 be excessive?
Christian

Best Answer:  My husband takes it once a day instead of eating breakfast. That works for him. Don’t know about additional times.

Charles
Is it peanut and tree nut free?
A shopper

Best Answer:  Sorry, I have no idea.

Judy K
Can you drink this protein while pregnant?
A shopper

Best Answer:  It is best to ask your doctor this one. Take the label to your appointment.

    Quality milk tastes better, way better. That’s why we choose grass-fed and hormone-free dairy to make our whey protein concentrate. Whey concentrate is the least processed form of whey, which means it’s loaded with high-quality complete protein and essential amino acids. Each batch of Levels® Whey is cold-process microfiltered and blended with sunflower lecithin for that effortless mixing you expect. You'll find no deception here, either. That means no soy, no gluten, and no artificial flavors or sweeteners.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is hydrolyzed whey protein isolate?

    Hydrolyzed whey protein isolate (HWPI) is whey protein isolate that has been broken down into smaller chains of amino acids called peptides. Peptides are easier to digest, allowing for faster absorption into the bloodstream.

    What are BCAAs?

    Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) include leucine, isoleucine, and valine. They support muscle growth and reduce muscle fatigue.

    What are essential amino acids?

    Essential amino acids (EAAs) are amino acids that your body can’t produce enough of on its own, including leucine, isoleucine, valine, histidine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, and tryptophan. EAAs support muscle growth and recovery.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Why does raw plant protein matter?

    Heat and processing can denature protein, reducing its availability to your body. Garden of Life’s plant proteins are produced at low temperatures to preserve their complete amino acid integrity and whole-food goodness.

    What is a “complete” protein?

    A complete protein is a protein that contains all nine essential amino acids: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. While most plant proteins are incomplete proteins, Raw Organic Fit plant-based protein provides all nine.

    What is Svetol?

    Svetol is a natural plant extract derived from unroasted Robusta coffee beans. Svetol has been shown to support blood sugar.
