Opportuniteas Grass Fed Whey Protein Isolate Powder - 28g Unflavored Protein Powder Without Artificial Sweeteners, Hormone-Free Cows, Non GMO - 5lb

Mixes well with my morning coffee. No weird flavor at all

Good stuff. One of the things I use it for is a chocolate shake that tastes as great as one from a good restaurant, but that is very healthy -- no sugar and relatively light on calories and fat. Can be a meal replacement. Here's the recipe. 1/2 cup of almond milk 4 frozen almond milk ice cubes (I just use an old fashioned ice cube tray to make them). A frozen banana OR half a frozen medium-to-large apple (cut into chunks and then frozen beforehand). 2 scoops whey protein (the serving size on this brand is two scoops). A heaping tablespoon of high quality cacao (or cocoa powder). 1 cup of baby spinach (trust me, you'll never taste it or know it's there). A tiny sprinkle of salt (another trust me, it makes a difference). One Truvia packet (or equivalent other artificial sweetener). 4 drops of liquid Stevia or to taste. Optional: 1 teaspoon of Fiber powder. The apple and spinach provide ~4 grams of fiber and the cacao 1 gram, so I don't add fiber. 1/2 teaspoon Lecithin powder. There is some lecithin in the whey but I add a bit for extra thickness and smoothness. Still very good without it. 1 tablespoon coconut oil (If you're on a ketogenic diet and need more fat). If you do add this, the extra lecithin will help blend in the oil. Blend well. Makes a great tasting, thick, smooth shake. The apple and spinach provide 2 fruit/veggie servings per shake. Baby spinach has almost zero taste, but it adds tons of nutrition and just makes the shake a bit thicker. It won't look green either, just chocolate. Great way to get kids to eat spinach.

This protein powder has what you need and nothing extra - which is good. I use the unflavored and mix it in my oatmeal. It mixes in well and you can’t taste it. It mixes in better than other protein powders I have tried.

Was looking for a cleaner protein to replace the usual suspects of good but overly "ingredient-ed" powders I've been using. My primary issue with those powders is the use of sweeteners (artificial, "natural", organic, etc.) While some natural sugar works for me in a post-HIIT/high cardio shake, I wanted a cleaner profile for cooking and off-training use. I also wanted to avoid soy, as it leaves me bloated. Finally, I wanted an isolate that gave a higher protein content without the added cholesterol of a concentrate. Clean proteins are expensive y'all!! SO I searched and searched for the just right mix of profile and expense. Opportuniteas Grass Fed Isolate had what I wanted and was reasonably priced in comparison, and came in a manageable size for a first trial. I've used the product twice so far in my morning coffee. I read some reviews stating the product gels or clumps in hot liquid. I didn't find that the be the case in a regular cup of home brewed coffee. Admittedly my maker doesn't get fast-food coffee hot, but it does take a few minutes before I dare take a sip. The first morning I tempered my powder with about 1/3 cup almond milk then added my coffee, which maybe wasn't a fair test of whether the product gelled. This morning I went straight coffee to powder before adding my milk and still no issue. I used a regular shaker cup with a ball whisk, gave 4 or 5 shakes and boom... everything was nicely mixed. The whey leaves the smallest amount of milky taste (separate from the usual taste of my drink with almond milk), which I am perfectly fine with. No GI issues but I use protein powder regularly. I'm looking forward to trying this in some pancakes and in my oats. The powder is light, pretty much odorless, and I think it would do wonderfully in any mix. The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because of the price. Probably isn't a fair rating in light of the price of more processed powders, which actually aren't much cheaper. Some of the higher ranked are about the same per gram of protein. And many of the competing clean powders are also similarly priced or slightly more expensive unless you buy their 5 lb tubs (too much product for a first time buy). I get it... we pay for it so they can price it that high. Demand and all that jazz. I try very hard to get everything that I need from my diet. But I am a 130 lb female that lifts, runs, bikes and trains like it's going out of style. It is very hard for me to consume enough protein to maintain my muscle mass through food without making myself ill. Protein powder is a healthy, reasonable addition. Regardless, the cost of protein is ridiculous all around. So the entire industry gets a star deducted for overpricing their stuff. If you're looking for a good, clean isolate, give this a try.

I’m usually a snacker, but using 2 scoops of this every day has cut my snacking down so much! I was struggling trying to stay under 2000 calories before using this, but now I’m hovering around 1500 calories per day, without really trying! I use 1 scoop in my morning iced coffee and then 1 scoop in my afternoon iced coffee. It mixes well with my iced coffee and is truly tasteless. Whey isolate is supposed to be fine for people with lactose intolerance and I can attest that this does not hurt my tummy. Also, anytime I’ve ever tried a protein powder, my face broke out, but this has not caused any breakouts for me. UPDATE: after using for 3-4 weeks, I’ve discovered the whey seems to have aggravated a bowel and/or fibroid issue (the two seem to go hand in hand with me). I really liked this, too, so I’m disappointed!

I'm currently going through chemotherapy. So my various senses can be a bit tricky to appease these days. Certain smells and tastes, etc can really set off my gag reflex. Certain foods also tend to cause me much intestinal distress at times. I've gone through 3 or 4 protein powders over the last year with varied amounts of success. I recently discovered this kind of whey, unflavored, grass fed, not fiber all protein...etc etc etc. I wasn't sure how I'd react but decided to give it a shot to keep my weight up. So far...these are my thoughts. - I am not lactose intolerant so I can handle Whey protein -This stuff, the unflavored version, as far as I can tell has no smell -It also has very little to no taste. Even though it is unflavored there is still a small sort of toasted milk taste that will linger in your mixtures. Very tolerable for me however. -This stuff WILL make your smoothies taste a little like milk. -The bag is not translucent like so many other companies make their containers. From what I've learned Whey protein breaks down in direct light. So foil and opaque containers are better. -This stuff does not seem to cause me much, if any, GI distress while on treatments. I dig that. There are other protein powders that were flavored that I've tried in the past while on treatments that simply thinking about now makes me gag. This has not yet had that effect on me after my first couple of smoothies simply because the stuff doesn't have my smell or taste to nauseate me. Plain and simple as far as I can tell. I also like that this stuff is reasonably priced for what it is compared to other brands. And it has a high protein content for each scoop. So I feel like I'm getting a lot per serving. And there does not seem to be any additives and other garbage that other companies love to throw in. All in all, I'm happy with this brand and hope to continue to be in the future.

I'm a researcher, and by nature maybe over-analyze things. But I feel the importance of adequate protein cannot be overemphasized, especially for athletes and older populations. This is why I like Opportuniteas WPI: High percentage of protein by weight. 30g/serving and 28g of that is protein. That's ~90% pure protein. I take the unflavored version and I don't taste any unpleasant flavors. You can add your favorite flavors (real vanilla extract is good) to keep it low/zero carb/sugar. Un-denatured WPI retains some very important compounts, including colostrum and lactoferrin. These two compounds have a host of benefits, including immune boosting, and the lactoferrin has been proven in clinical trials to increase osteoblast activity, which is what helps build bones. Another very important amino acid for muscle building is Leucine. For some reason, grass fed New Zealand cows produce higher percentage of Leucine. This WPI has 4.2 grams, which is among the highest of the isolates I've looked at. The price is reasonable for a high percentage, high Leucine WPI. I wish they would post their amino acid profile here, so people could quickly compare this to other WPIs out there. You can go to their website to see the amino acid profile. For my use, I mix this with unflavored soy milk (no lactose sugar in soy), flavored Enhanced Electrolyte Powder, 5g/serving Creatine Monohydrate. I drink half just before my workout, then the other half right after. Based on my research, I feel this gives the muscles the fuel/food for the workout, then post workout, again provides the nutrients for muscle repair. I hope this helps you wade through all the protein supplements out there.

Have used several unflavored protein powder and this one is the first one that I can say has not changed the flavor of my coffee.
