Nutrition - Casein Unflavored 5 Lbs. 167477

This product is great. As any casein powder it can be hard to mix but here's the hack : Mix it into warm regular cow milk at 35 ⁰C. You don't need a lot of milk. Half a cup will be just enough. That initial mix will be thick. Thats normal. Then you can add coconut milk, water or anything you want to achieve the desired consistency. But stick to regular milk at 35 ⁰C to begin with. You will see! The result will be day and night. No more chalky feeling...

The best Casein Protein according to me. Period. I have tried all sorts of Casein Proteins from GNC, and Online (Vitacost, Amazon, Bodybuilding.com, Biotrust etc), over several years. Almost all of them have chemicals and fillers (except perhaps Biotrust and Optimum Natural) and I will get more negative side effects than benefits. BioTrust proteins is a mix of why and casein blend, and they are very costly, and they do have larger amounts of Stevia, Inulin, sugar alcohol etc..Though reasonably healthy, BioTrust cost and the "fillers" put it out of reach for most. I also did not have any positive results from this brand. Optimum Natural Casein was my first choice till recently. Reasonably pure (at least no synthetic chemicals and junk), and decent price per pound, and average benefits. But I recently started on Naked Casein, and I am wondering why I did not try this before! It is the purest, most healthy Casein possible! Huge 5 pound tub, and with 1 serving a day, will last you 75+ days! Even with 2 servings, for the heavier users, it will last you more than a month, and it is very decent price/pound. The quality is amazing! I had great results within a week of using it. No gas, no bloating, no issues! I have used it in the night before sleeping, and have also had it during the day. And I felt energetic and wonderful. My sleep is good, no disturbance, no stomach issues. My recovery seems better. I seem to have gained positive results in the muscle department also, in just this 7-10 day period! (that is the quickest jump in results I have ever had in many years of working out). I am using Naked Whey and Naked Casein together now.. as my only protein supplements. Threw out everything else! Like many have said, it does not mix that easily by just stirring. But I am ok with the lumps! How does it matter? :) Why take more time with blender/mixer/shaker etc? :) Also, like some reviewers have said, it tastes just like diluted milk/milk powder. I do not need to add anything else, and can just have this powder with Water. However, I have added a dash of "Amazing Grace Green Superfood" powder at times, and not only does not help with better mixing, the shake tastes even better, and it is even more healthier! (You can even add a dash of Unflavored vegan protein powder like PlantFusion. No added sugar or extra calories, and better taste and a healther shake! I have also tried it with diluted Yogurt or Buttermilk, and this powder tastes great with all of them! Because my feedback and experience with Naked Whey and Naked Casein have been similar, and beyond my expectations, I wrote a detailed review for both products, and any of you looking at my reviews of Naked Whey, might notice an overlap of some of the info :) But both the "Naked" products are outstanding to say the least. I recommend that you do try it at least once.

I don’t know if this is a great product, because I can’t find any competitors. This seems to be the only unflavoured casein on the market. I use it for everything. A scoop in my scrambled eggs, a scoop in my pizza dough. A scoop in my bread dough. It fits into almost any recipe l, adding a good dose of protein to any meal.

This is my first casein protein, so I'm not sure how it compares, but I can share my experiences so far. Benefits: I bought this protein because I generally start each morning with a 60g whey shake, which is intended to replace breakfast. Unfortunately I'm generally hungry about an hour too early, so I did some research and thought that casein might help keep me fuller longer. So far so good on that note; replacing half of the whey with this casein seems to be doing the trick. I'm also happy to buy dairy products from grass-fed cows, so that's a benefit in my book. Now the issues: As compared to wheys I've tried, this casein is very powdery/messy (a consistency almost like cornstarch). It clumps very easily, making it difficult to get an even scoop. I have to break out my scale if I want to be precise. As a result of this clumping tendency, it's also very difficult to mix -- it requires a lot of shaking. Most wheys have a small amount of lecithin added to the mix, and I wonder if it would fix the problems here too. Of course then maybe it wouldn't be fully "naked" anymore? The flavor is quite a bit stronger than the wheys I've tried, and not nearly as pleasant...but it doesn't bother me. What does bother me is the extremely chalky texture. Again, I'm not sure if that's common to all casein or just this one. I've found that it will get slightly better if I make the shake and then leave it for a while before drinking (even 30 minutes helps, but overnight in the fridge really worked well). So far my favorite flavoring with this casein is a bit of molasses and some cinnamon. 60g of casein, 20g of molasses, a somewhat liberal sprinkle of cinnamon (or mixed pumpkin pie spice could be good) and water or milk. This combination gives it a subtle sweetness, some flavor depth that works well with the casein, and smooths out the chalkiness a bit.

Based on the reviews, I anticipated a difficult to handle powder needing a high speed or a stick blender, or at the very least, a shaker bottle. I put 15grams of powder into a thin tall beaker, poured about a tablespoon or so of milk over it and stirred with a chopstick to see how long it would take to incorporate. I was surprised that it very quickly changed into a paste, or pudding-like consistency, and the lumps quickly smoothed away (not even half a minute). A tiny bit chalky in taste, but not unpleasant, and with a slight powdered milk flavor. It made a nice pudding with a bit of sweetener, dried coconut flakes for texture, and a few almonds to give it some crunch. From the paste, it incorporates any liquid easily, just by stirring with a spoon. Adding milk to it makes it taste like milk, without thickening it.
