NAKED Vanilla Whey Protein 1Lb, Only 3 Ingredients, All Natural Grass Fed Whey Protein Powder + Vanilla + Coconut Sugar- GMO-Free, Soy Free, Gluten Free. Aid Muscle Growth, 12 Servings

Great taste(not very sweet but there’s no added sugar), few ingredients which I love! Mixes well! Great for protein ice cream, smoothie, etc!

Ok, so here it is. I just got it and tried it immediately with a cup and a half or two cups of milk. I was scared because of all the reviews about it frothing up half way up the blender, and the gassines it causes people, even though it has a 3.8 star overall rating. So here is my analysis. Lets first start with my experience. This stuff did not froth up at all like purported by many reviewers, there was an itsy bitsy tiny bit of froth at the top, as with ANY shake that just went spinning at a fast speed in a container, including those without protein, lets say, a fruit and water only shake. Next, the shake was so creamy, the texture was better than an ice cream shake, but less heavy. So think light, smooth, velvety, yet fluffy, but not airy fluffy. It had enough "weight" to it to feel like I was drinking something with substance. There is minimal flavor, so it does taste like milk, but subdued since it does have a scent of vanilla...but not a fake scent, a very light scent/taste combination. Look, it is like drinking light cream. It is delicious just for that. Comforting if you are an over-eater, and satisfying for those who need a protein fix. Best of both worlds. Now, about the people whole say it froths up like crazy: Are you using a blender with a sharp blade or dull blade? I have the blendtec, which is like a vitamix, and like I mentioned above, there was no froth. I can imagine a sharp blade causing frothiness since sharp blades in general are bad-they kill vitamins, and the structure and mechanics of an inexpensive sharp blade blender are usually not conducive for culinary use on a molecular level. I was a student when I invested in my blendtec because that is how much of a difference a professional grade blender makes, especially if you rely on one often. Someone mentioned they used a vitamix, and it was still clumpy. I cannot imagine, now that i've used this product why it was clumpy. It mixed extraordinarily well for me, even better than cooca powder! As for the people complaining about gassiness...that is an issue with detox. Before I got on amazing Tibetan herbs, prescribed by an actual Doctor of Tibetan medicine, I was a bloated mess even after drinking water. No matter what I did to purge, or how much fiber I ate, I really needed to open up my energy channels and clear out stagnant pathways that are not just associated with digestion-everything in the body IS connected! The standard American diet, even if you do portion control, is so full of junk, that you really need to eat clean for quite some time before you can feel comfortable after taking a supplement. The enzymes in the body get all messed up if things are not clean inside. I had to travel abroad to a trusted Tibetan Doctor, who put me on a fast track to healing within months, faster than any naturopath here in the states could. Number one thing to do is stay way from toxins, especially when you later try to consume a milk product. Lastly, not to be gross, but since you live thanks to energy, and energy is heat and friction, in other words, energy IS gas, be happy with a little gas, it means your body is able to keep a balance ;) I personally think this whey is naked...just our insides need a little cleaning perhaps. Everyone is different, yes, so do what is best for you, but in my personal and humble opinion, I like this product. I will update after a longer use of time, and promise to be honest regardless of this raving review.

I originally bought this protein powder out of curiosity, just to try it, and that was three months ago. Since then, I’ve upgraded to the larger size and even subscribed so I don’t run out. It’s that good. I use it as a quick protein boost during the day. I especially appreciate the high protein-to-low calorie ratio, which makes it easy to fit into my daily routine. The flavor is mild and natural, and it blends smoothly without clumps. It keeps me full and supports my workouts without any bloating or heaviness. This is officially a subscription item for me now, lol. I love how clean and simple this protein powder is, and the vanilla flavor is just right. It’s not overly sweet, which makes it super versatile for smoothies, oats, or just mixed with milk. It digests easily and doesn’t upset my stomach like some other brands have. The ingredient list is short and transparent, which I really appreciate. If you’re looking for a reliable, no-nonsense protein powder, this one is hard to beat.

Decent. Flavor is very subtle. Disolves pretty good. Sometimes leaves slight clumps that are very sticky

I've purchased 2 kinds. The Vanilla was ok. Mixed up fine in my blender. Wasn't chalky. Mild Vanilla flavor. The flavor isn't great. I also got the Unflavored. The unflavored is disgusting! It definitely has a flavor and it is not good! Smells and tastes like sour milk. Had to stop using it. I just purchased Chocolate. I'm hoping it's better. Crossing my fingers. I love that is is a "clean" product. Nothing artificial. That's the only reason I'm giving them another try.

I absolutely loved this protein. I'm pretty picky with my supplements. I'm looking for things that have good quality ingredients without any additives. The ingredients in this powder were clean, so I thought I would give it a try. I've given up on good-tasting things (because most of the "clean" foods don't taste great), so I was so pleasantly surprised by the delicious taste of this powder. I mixed it into my morning coffee, and it was the perfect, slightly sweet and vanilla-flavored addition. Definitely give this a try! I used a milk frother, and it mixed in well.

Selected it as I wanted something as natural and as simple (from the number of ingredients) as possible, also didn’t want any artificial sweeteners. I have used up half od the container now and find it still tastes really good, very natural and blends in well into smoothies. I can also feel how it supports recovery after workouts, thus it must be metabolized well. Highly recommend, will buy again.

This is truly amazing. I have avoided all things protein powder because of the weird taste and smell- and especially because of artificial sweeteners which I just can't seem to tolerate. This checks all the boxes for me: a real source of sugar, limited ingredients, and no gross after taste or texture. For me it has a good balance of sweetness (very mild)- I'm sure for some they find it bland but I think it makes a great base for just about anything. I will absolutely buy this again and may even include the chocolate next time.

Bueno

The headline may not sound flattering, but I REALLY REALLY hate protein powders. They all taste chalky and hate the artificial sweetener after taste. Naked Whey, though it none of that. It is mildly sweet with a slight vanilla flavor. Absolutely nothing unpleasant about it, which is all I could ever ask for!

mixability is poor even after shaking to the point that the drink already became foamy. taste is so so

TLDR: While this is clean and mild, it’s hard to make a case for Naked Whey at this price point. Other brands like optimum, though they have more “filler” ingredients, are still very effective at a cheaper price. Pros: 1. I like that it has no stevia / artificial sweetener. That stuff makes protein powders way too sweet for me. This has coconut sugar which is very mild in shakes. 2. Clean ingredients - it’s not caused any bloating 3. Vanilla has a pleasantly mild taste. I’m yet to try the other flavors. Cons: 1. I take my protein twice a day. Once in a breakfast smoothie that’s blended and once at the gym in a shaker with water. This stuff does not mix well with water. It just balled up in my shaker and was a pain to get out. I found that having the water slightly warm helps with making it more soluble but it doesn’t taste as great. 2. It is expensive. I get that it has clean ingredients, but brands like Optimum Whey are cheaper at Costco ($89.99 CAD where I live) and though their ingredients aren’t just pure whey and organic flavouring, I’ll probably be ok with that to save $45 a tub. Just to put things in perspective - brands like optimum use Soy Lecithin (which is a GMO) as emulsifiers to ensure better mixability. Naked Whey whey calls this out in their marketing. If you were to dive a bit deeper into this, you need 5000mg of soy lecithin to have any adverse effects. The amount in a single serving of optimum whey is around 90mg. So you’d essentially need over 50 scoops of optimum to have issues. I doubt anyone is consuming that much protein.

It's easy to mix in the blender but it needs a bit more vanilla for the taste and it has a bit of a funky smell to it.
