NAKED Casein - 5Lb Micellar Casein Protein Powder - Bulk, Zero Carb, NSF Certified, GMO-Free, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Preservative Free - Stimulate Muscle Growth - Enhance Recovery - 76 Servings

This is harder to use than Whey. If it's mixed well enough, it's tolerable and tastes good. I use it before bed rather than during the day. To mix it well, I use a blender and mix it with milk or unsweetened almond milk. A little cinnamon, and it tastes like Horchata. I'm experimenting if a little guar gum helps emulsify it but can't say if it does or not yet. It definitely doesn't blend as easily as Whey. It stays powdery and can taste chalky if not mixed well enough.

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.

Great product for a great price. With this product, I always feel great with no side effects. Not like all these other flavored protein powders out there. This one is solid and pure protein. Highly recommend.

Exactly what it claims to be accept for mixability. If you shake it with water it foams up before it’s fully combine. If you use fat free milk you get 70% foam lol. I stir it in slowly let it sit a few minutes then stir again and get ok results. Tastes as plain as it gets, basically tasteless so 5 stars there. Doesn’t bother my stomach like whey concentrate so 5 stars there too. Excellent purity and acceptable price. Never having plain protein before I would recommend flavored going Picture shows it stirred in with some vanilla extract before letting it sit and stirring the second time.

I got this casein powder to be able to replicate the tea lattes that I love from a tea apothecary I frequent. At $12 for 8 oz of tea, I thought I’d try to imitate (but never equal), and although it is the same brand of casein they use (they purchase a huge container of it), I feel that the powder I got does not taste the same; however, I find that it still makes delicious tea lattes, and I’m happy with my purchase. UPDATE: I’m still happy with my 2nd purchase. This is my second purchase of 1 lb can Naked Casein. Reading reviews saying that the contents are less than the net weight stated on the label , I decided to save the empty can (including the scoop-measure) from my previous purchase and subtract the weight from the new can. The new can weights 1 lb and 5.5 oz. The empty can with scoop weights 5.5 oz. Meaning that the net weight stated on the label is true. I will continue to buy this product from Amazon and will keep checking the weight of the contents. Marginal note: my friends love my protein tea lattes. They say they are delicious and very comforting. Yeah!

No filler and junk. Keeps me full throughout the night so I am not raiding the fridge. Simple to mix and simple to go down.

Good for protein shakes. Thickens more and is a bit grainier than whey powder, but good to use in the evening for overnight protein support. Glad to find a well-inspected product.

It's exactly what its supposed to be, but what it's supposed to be is gnarly. It's very conflicting to rate something low for being what it is, but good god you can't flavor the unflavored stuff to save it. 1. It tastes like chalk, and it's an intense flavor that's hard to cover up. Adding pure vanilla or orange extract helps, but the texture and chalk make it difficult to choke down. You need a thinner some kind, like syrups tend to be - it behaves different than adding more milk or water, so I recommend trying raspberry flavoring syrups or something similar. Wish I didn't have to. 2. Don't bother mixing this without an immersion blender or a regular blender. Would recommend immersion, because regardless of whether you try to start it as a paste and thin it out, or just throw in a bunch of milk/water, it'll clump in big sticky hunks. Being able to directly point at the hunks and beat them to death is necessary. I have issues with that in a blender. On the plus side, there's not small tiny chunks like in your typical whey or other animal based protein powder. 3. Clean your stuff or soak it ASAP. It turns to the devil if it sets. All that said, it's not like its trying to be anything other than what it claims to be. This type of protein just isn't for everyone. I picked it out of necessity because of allergies. There isn't a single protein shake I can safely drink besides this, or a totally pure whey. Dull roar *editing begins here* +1 star. Mix this stuff well with 1-2 tbsp of a nut butter (I used sunflower butter, but I imagine peanut butter would work too), 1-2tbsp honey (I used whipped, I like the flavor more than syrup). It sucks to mix because you have to start with a paste, and work up to a thinner fluid, and then blend it with a tool. But alas, it tastes pretty darn good now I'd argue its better than the majority of MRE stuff I like. The sunflower butter in particular blends well with the chalky flavor really well. The extra calories aside, at least I'm not allergic to it.

I mix a scoop of this unflavoured casein with a half scoop of my normal chocolate whey protein and 350ml of water in a shaker bottle and shake for about 20 seconds. There are no chunks or weird bits. It's a little bit chalky, but it's not bad and it cuts the artificial sweetness of the whey protein. I'm not looking for something that tastes amazing; just something that can go down the hatch and help me meet my protein target for the day. I'll be trying the Naked Whey next.

I really, really like this protein powder. I typically will have it mixed with just grass fed milk and it tastes great! By which I mean that I don't notice much of a taste at all. The only flavour I notice is that of milk. It's a bit expensive but if you spend time reading other labels, the lack of other random crap being added is worth the price. Actually I just did the math and it was less than 2 dollars per serving when I bought it. I hope it becomes available again soon because I don't really want to use any other protein again.

love ❤️ it.

It’s a good product. The powder is lighter than the one i am used to, i usually buy the Canadian protein brand but couldn’t find any it was sold out. The taste is very light, i don’t buy it for the taste but it’s a good thing since it will easily blend into any drink or smoothie. I really like that it doesn’t have any junk or artificial sweeteners, seriously why do they put artificial sweeteners in a protein drink, most people who buy protein are building muscle and artificial sweeteners are proven to destroy muscles. I didn’t give 5stars because it’s more expensive for the same type of product than my usual brand but very happy with this product.

Just casein with no additives, so it's hard to mess up. Regular milky taste. Mixes good enough.
