Nutricost Casein Protein Powder 5lb Vanilla - Micellar Casein, Gluten Free, Non-GMO

Great product, great taste, high protein. Nighttime protein for muscle synthesis overnight.

Finally found a good tasting protein powder again. Knd of a grainy texture but it mixes easily in liquids. And no funny smell or after taste either. MetRx meal replacement was always my fave, but alas it is no more, this is close but not as thick. This is an all around great product.

Decently price bulk casein Chocolate tastes decent. The vanilla is horrible. I thought it would taste like the vanilla whey but their casein vanilla is much more artificial tasting. Not sure if I'm gonna be able to finish the 5lb.

Review updated after 1 month It took me some time to get used to the taste and texture. If I could give one piece of advice, I would recommend using about 400 ml of water to mix two servings. While it may not be the most enjoyable protein in terms of taste and feel, I’ve gotten accustomed to it, and I now actually look forward to having it before bedtime. The flavor is a very mild vanilla, which makes it easy to adjust to your preference.ld vanilla, which makes it easy to become adjusted to it. As far as gainz are concerned, mine are mostly of the newbie variety of a man who hasn't worked out in over 10 years. While muscle memory plays a role, I have found that consuming 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight has significantly boosted my strength in various compound lifts. In fact, I've nearly doubled my strength in just a month. I believe that Nutricost's casein protein, in addition to whey isolates and creatine, has helped prevent me from going catabolic during rest cycles. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their strength training. I know the plateau is near, and gainz will be harder to come by, but I'm loving what this protein is doing for me. ----- First of all, before getting into the nitty/gritty (literally), this protein has an amazing price point. It will no doubt serve the goal of an overnight protein source well. If you were expecting a good experience in terms of taste and texture, think again. This product is very different from hydrolyzed whey. It has a thick, gritty, and powdery consistency and is almost flavorless. While it doesn’t have a dough-like texture, it is quite unpleasant. The only other option is to use a lot more water, which further dilutes the flavor into nothingness. Objectively, this may suit your overall goals for gains, but if you have any concerns about unpleasant textures, you should consider choosing a different brand. It's really hard to choke down.

Great protein! Blends well, tastes good, and doesn’t give me an upset stomach. So far I’ve loved everything I’ve purchased from this brand.

I bought this casein because I heard casein was better to cook with than whey protein powder. I've been making the best protein waffles I've ever made using this powder so it's definitely true. It's not dry and nasty like it is with whey. I really liked the price of this Nutricost protein compared to others and just went with it. It did not disappoint. The recipe for my waffles if you're interested is the following: 40g oats, 1 scoop of this stuff, baking powder, 1tsp vanilla extract, 1 large egg, 70g cottage cheese, some unsweetened, almond milk to get a more liquidy consistency (sorry I didn't measure). Throw everything into a blender or nutribullet and let it mix. For me it made three full waffles that smelled amazing. Eat it with some sugar free syrup and you'll have yourself some delicious body building waffles that tastes like the real thing. I do find that it takes a little longer in the waffle iron than regular waffles so play around with it. On another note, in terms of ingesting this as a shake with just water, it's pretty chalky like any other casein. I would recommend taking regular whey over this if you just make shakes. I know a lot of people will take this before bedtime but IMO it's totally unnecessary as long as you're getting sufficient protein during the day. If you do need protein you can supplement with regular whey which is cheaper and whey in general is a higher quality protein. I would totally recommend this for those looking for a great cooking protein!

I've had tubs of the vanilla, chocolate, and unflavored. All are great. Unflavored - not a pleasant flavor. Adding flavorings and cocoa powder mostly masks it. Texture is thicker than the flavored ones. Chocolate - like a chocolate milkshake. Vanilla - doesn't taste like vanilla, but more like butterscotch candies. I actually prefer this over a plain vanilla flavor. I'd give the same 5 star rating for those 3 flavors

I was previously using Levels (in case that's somehow pertinent), but i decided to try this. They are all the same, I thought, and it's less expensive. It looks the same, feels the same, same amount per serving, so I was surprised when I tried it. It's so very sweet. Well, as a protein source it does the job. However, I mix it w ¼c fruit and water. That's it. Were I cooking w it, I imagine it's wonderful, but as a drink, it's too sweet.

就寝前のカゼインプロテイン 味は甘ったるいです 蓋が構造的に甘いのかしっかり閉まりません 湿気がこないように要注意です

Good

Doesn't mix well no matter if I used a blender or shaker. Remains powdery and not tasty. I was confident it would taste great and mix well by looking at the comment.. why ? I am so disappointed because this is the only Casein with such high rating out there.. I will try to contact the seller and ask the question.. I really hope that it was just bad luck..
