NAKED BCAAs Amino Acids Powder, Only 1 Ingredient, Pure 2:1:1 Formula, Vegan Unflavored Branched Chain Amino Acids, Instantized All Natural BCAA Supplement - 500 Grams, 100 Servings

So I've been buying flavored BCAAs from other brands but got to the point where I can hardly choke them down. Artificial flavors and stevia etc really gross me out. I thought surely the plain ones would be vile because those artificial flavors are SO strong -- they must be covering something up? And yes, I read reviews about how impossible the plain ones are to choke down. Anyway, I was prepared... I mixed my first dose with a couple ounces each of lemon juice and ginger juice, then chased it with the recommended 10 oz water. It was fine and I didn't taste anything but juice. (I love lemon and ginger and could chug either one straight.) Today I tried it plain in water. Also fine. Yes there's a bitter flavor, but it's not too bad. Halfway through it got just a little unpleasant and I mixed in some lemon juice. That was perfect. What else can I say? It mixes great.

The NAKED Strawberry Lemonade BCAAs have been a great addition to my workout routine. I bought it because I wanted a clean BCAA formula without artificial sweeteners, dyes or unnecessary fillers, and this one checks every box. It’s literally just what you need and nothing extra. The flavor surprised me in a good way. Strawberry lemonade tastes refreshing, not overly sweet, and mixes instantly with no clumping. It’s easy to sip during workouts and doesn’t leave any weird aftertaste. I’ve noticed better recovery and less soreness on the days I take it, especially after heavy training. It also feels lighter on my stomach compared to other BCAAs I’ve tried in the past. If you’re looking for a natural, clean BCAA powder that actually tastes good and supports recovery, this is a solid choice. I’ll definitely keep it in my routine.

I notice a lot of people who are unhappy with the smell of this supplement and it makes me wonder if they've used products with naturally derived ingredients before - they all smell terrible. Companies add ingredients to make the color, taste, and SMELL more appealing. Also, the flavored version had L-glutamine, which isn't included in the unflavored version. UNFLAVORED also doesn't mean FLAVORLESS. Solid supplement from a solid company. As they release a liquid HMB they'll be the only supplement brand I use. Taste is really bitter though. I added a cap full of lemon juice to mine to balance the taste.

Overall this was a good product and lasted a long time. I love that it didnt have a overwhelming chalk taste but did find sometimes it didnt mix well into my beverages and would just sit on top of my drinks. Even with that I would still buy again.

Yeah, everyone’s right, this stuff stinks...so what? Sure, it’s a powerful stink, but it disappears the moment you add it to any liquid, leaving absolutely no flavor (that I can taste) at all. So, I’ve been using this steadily for a little over a month now, and I really think it’s a great product all around. I was regularly sore after intense workouts from my trainer, I mean nearly every day I’d see her. Since using this (along with Naked Creatine, which I also love), I’ve had only one instance of intense soreness post workout, and even then it was while I was also very sick with a sinus infection, so I’m sure my body not being well overall didn’t help with my recovery. I love that it’s flavorless, too, so on days I screw up and don’t add it to my preworkout protein shake, I can just toss it in a tiny amount of plain water (like half a cup tops) in a blender bottle and just chug it to get it inside my body. The cost for 100 servings can’t be beat, either. I’ll definitely repurchase this when I run out. As a side note, the stank can serve a purpose from time to time if need be. We visited CO a few weeks ago and found ourselves with a few extra treats we couldn’t finish while there, so we stashed them in the BCAAs just in case we were pulled over on the way home. The smell of the BCAAs completely covered any smell our Colorado goodies had. So...bonus?!

I am not sure if I got a bad batch, but the unflavored BCAA is the most bitter thing I've ever tasted. I almost throw up trying to swallow it and adding it to other drinks just ruins the whole drink. Did anyone else experience this?

I have ordered this many many times! Great tasting product! I drink it during my workout.

I think this stuff works? I have no idea, you can read other reviews for that. I'm here to share how to drink it. This stuff really is difficult to drink with plain water, but I don't want to mix it with other things I don't want. I tried the pre-flavored powders and they're almost worse. So before workouts I make this mix in a water bottle and it's perfect at cutting the taste: 1 squirt of lime juice from one of those plastic limes 1 squirt of agave Shake, drink It's really simple and doesn't add a ton of sugar or calories.
