With 25g of protein per serving and added BCAAs, it provides the perfect combination of nutrients to support muscle repair and growth, helping him recover faster and perform at his best. The creamy vanilla flavor is delicious and mixes easily with water or milk, making it a treat to enjoy after a tough workout.
We've been loyal fans of NOW Sports Nutrition for years, and this 5-pound tub ensures we always have plenty on hand. The value for money is unbeatable, especially considering the high quality of the product and the noticeable benefits it provides.
Overall, I can't recommend NOW Sports Nutrition Whey Protein Isolate enough. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, this protein powder is a must-have for achieving your goals and feeling satisfied with your progress.
MIXING: This protein mixes very easily in my blender bottle. It is a little tougher to mix in a regular cup or glass just because you can't be vigorous enough with a knife or spoon without making a mess! If you don't have a blender bottle, I say pick one up immediately.
TASTE: As others have noticed, taste is a little different. I would just call it natural. Another user noted that it tasted like powdered milk. This is definitely true. It isn't so much "sour" or "rotten" as some stated. However, it's all natural with no artificial sweeteners or other junk to cover it up. What did you expect?! On top of that, it's a dried product isolated from milk (the water left over from cheese production actually). If you've ever smelled cheese being made, then you should expect this flavor.
Anyway, mix a half scoop with peanut butter and a chocolate powder of your choice and boom, delicious. I personally mix with milk and ovaltine (the original European formula is sugar free: Ovaltine Malt Beverage Mix 400g - Pack of 2 Jars ). So I say order some ovaltine to go with it if you can't handle it and maybe add some peanut butter. You can use less of the powder with the added protein of peanut butter and make the tub last even longer.
EFFECTIVENESS: So far, so good. I will update if I have any issues.
OVERALL: All natural whey protein.. it's exactly what it sounds like. The taste isn't fantastic, but can easily be masked by any flavors you like. The quality seems to be very high. I am switching over from ON products, which do taste incredible, but I couldn't be happier with my purchase. If you're putting this stuff in your body on a regular basis, then go all natural and get some quality peanut butter and cocoa powder from your local farmers market. You'll be glad you did!
I got the flavorless one and it tastes like a cheese byproduct or something but I don't mind it as I take scoop to mouth and drink and mix it with water and done. I like this because it had no artificial flavors, sugars, colors etc and gets straight to the protein. I've been using it for a week and I look forward to using it daily. I tried the 19 serving box, and I plan to order the 5lb box next.
When taking this I recommend only 1 cup of water per scoop. If you add more water I think it tastes worse. When I first started taking this I didn't like the taste and needed to add a spoon of my hot chocolate mix to it for taste. Now I actually really like the taste of it with nothing added. If you didn't know Whey is actually the protein from milk. It doesn't taste like milk but you get maybe a hint of that taste. I can't really describe it.
Another trick I use is if you mix 1 cup of fruit punch and 1 scoop of Whey you get something that tastes like a delicious berry smoothie. This will also give you a 1:1 carb / protein ratio in itself. If I'm not working out at home I take one of these drinks with me so I can take it immediately after my workout or hockey game.
Now just some tips I've picked up since you're looking to get Whey - muscle bulked up. (keep in mind I'm on that route but I'm not all muscle yet)
Carbs are you energy - I recommend getting your carbs in the morning, before your workout so you have enough energy to get through it, and post workout to help restore energy. Half of a PB&J sandwich is my go to energy carb right now. White bread gets absorbed and converted to energy very fast and it works well for me. Carbs are needed to get the protein where it needs to go so don't go cutting them out completely. Update - Sounds odd but don't neglect fat - you want about half as many grams of fat or less (preferably unsaturated) as you do protein. You will suffer if you don't have any fat in your diet. Sunflower seeds, nuts, peanut butter, avocados all have some fat you can use.
I'm trying for somewhere around a 2:1:.5 to 1:1:.3 grams of carbs:protein:fat per pound daily.
When to take your Whey? There's some debate on whether to take Whey pre-workout or post-workout. Some say both. I used to go post but I recently switched to taking it pre-workout when I take my carbs (simple carbs around 45 minutes before workout) - logic being the protein will already be in your system for muscle repair. I haven't practiced it enough to say which way is best though. I also take a scoop in the morning. If you go for the daily recommended 1 gram per pound you'll be taking it throughout the day.
Burning Fat: I'm a fairly skinny guy - however I've always had fat over my lower abs. I want abs so that had to go. I've lost almost all of that fat and here's how I did it. To lose weight you simply need to burn more calories then you take in. First, small meals / I make half sandwiches instead of whole ones now - when you go out to eat take home some of your meal in a doggie bag rather than forcing it all down. I only eat when I'm hungry, wait for your hunger pangs and fight them a little. If you're preoccupied with other things you can ignore hunger pangs easier. If they get too bad go make make yourself a small meal. If you fight hunger pangs for too long your energy levels will drop so go eat some carbs and it will pick them right back up. I'd take a multivitamin to make sure you're getting everything you need. Do this and watch fat go away - it doesn't take long, I can see / feel a difference in my stomach every day. When I do have a cheat day - sometimes the stomach wins or peer pressure and you just want to eat - the extra fat added on my belly is noticeable - but don't fret, you can burn it off in a day or two.
Doing the above routine I lost a lot of fat eating a small bowl of cereal in the morning and a homemade hamburger for dinner. So honestly I don't think what you eat matters so much as waiting for and resisting the hunger pangs a bit. The end goal is to just burn more calories then you take in - so simply taking in less is an easy way to do that.
Eating healthy: Recently I started eating healthier. It's a lot easier then you think. Vegetables, low fat meats, egg whites. Spend some time in the produce section of the grocery store and you'll find a lot of good, quick finger food you may have not considered before. My lunches are mostly all vegetables now. Cherry tomato's, broccoli, mushrooms, baby carrots, lettuce. All things you can just grab out of your fridge and snack on. Hard boil some eggs, put them in a bag in your fridge and you'll have egg whites whenever you want. Tuna, mackerel, sardines, frozen tilapia fillets (microwave for 1:30 or so) for fish protein. Skinless chicken breasts or whatever - marinate them in Italian dressing - sprinkle some Weber Gourmet Burger seasoning on right before cooking - cover in tin foil and pop in the oven at 350 degrees for around 40 minutes - delicious. I cook extra to refrigerate and microwave later. Not as good as out of the oven but still good. I've never been much of a chef - just picking up stuff along the way. If you have other healthy foods you like please share. I'm always looking to add to my menu.
Workouts: Why the heck is this last? Hah, I'll just say I've been doing the p90x routine, I'm on week 5 and loving it. I find it helps to have something guide you rather than just going to the gym and doing whatever you feel like. When you're working out you get exhausted and don't want to think so I would find a good complete routine that switches things up, allows rest days, keeps you motivated, and is easy to follow. Of course take that with a grain of salt, as I said I don't have huge muscles yet - this is just what I've learned so far.
