This is NOT a "protein shake mix," it is 100% hydrolyzed whey protein with no flavors, sweeteners or emulsifiers.
This is the best deal you will find on 100% hydrolyzed whey protein.<br /><br />Many of the reviews here are treating this product as if it was a "protein shake mix." This is 100% protein powder with no flavors, sweeteners or emulsifiers. If you mix it with water and nothing else, you probably won't love the taste. You can certainly consume it plain, but most people will like to add some flavor.<br /><br />For my daily protein shake, I like to mix 16oz water, 5T Bulksupplements Pure Hydrolyzed Whey Protein, 2T cocoa powder, 2T cane sugar, 1t creatine monohydrate and 1t sunflower lecithin. The cost per serving using these ingredients is significantly lower than buying premixed hydrolyzed whey protein shakes. (Some of the Bulksupplements protein powders contain soy lecithin-- this powder does NOT. You'll find lecithin in the ingredient mix of most protein shake mixes, as it helps the powder and any flavorings dissolve better. Soy is fine, but I like the taste of sunflower lecithin better)<br /><br />Hydrolyzed whey is excellent for people who have difficulty digesting dairy. I've used sprouted rice protein for years, since most whey powders don't agree with my stomach. Hydrolyzed whey is totally different though. I can take this protein twice a day without any gas, bloating or any of the other unpleasant digestive affects that whey protein can cause. (If you've ever taken whey protein and had "sticky" bowel movements afterwards, you should try hydrolyzed whey.)<br /><br />As far as the packaging-- I agree that the recloseable zip is awful. It might as well not even be there. That being said, this is being sold as a bulk ingredient, not a convenience product. A good solution is to reuse the container and scoop from some expensive protein powder that you purchased before you got smart and started making your own.
