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.

I ordered two of these containers and add 30 g to my Golden milk concoction a short while before bed. I take a walk after consuming golden milk added to this so it provides me with an amino acid drip which prevents and can reverse SARCOPENIA (muscle mass loss). If doing so, be sure to wait three minutes or so before adding the golden milk into a cup that has cold milk on the bottom (3 ounces) mixed with the micellar CASEIN powder to protect it from the hot golden milk. Great product for my efforts… Anybody in their 50s will start experiencing SARCOPENIA because the body processes start to evolve and cause the muscle mass loss. I am reversing the effects utilizing this method. It’s a great value and the purest ingredient with a super fun, powdery texture, very easy to use, which can also be added to a smoothie.

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 love the Naked Casein. I added to my coffee each morning and just helps getting me started strong with my day. I don’t have to worry about if I had enough protein. And it’s a great bone builder. My bone density increased almost 3% in a year and I credited it to the naked way and the naked casein products. I did use the naked Whey which was fantastic as well, but the Naked Casein is a step above. And now I don’t have to worry if I’m getting enough calcium for bone building for my workouts each day. And although I like cottage cheese, I’d much rather have it in a protein powder to add to coffee and call it a day.! my afternoon snack is soy milk w, dark chocolate coco with naked casien, and a little coffee on ice… better than Starbucks!

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.

High quality. We’ll see about muscle building but helps me sleep great

I bought this item with the idea of mixing it with Amazing Grass Superfood products to add some flavor and extra nutrition. I was also looking to get away from the ON flavors and their sweeteners, though ON is not bad at all and uses few ingredients. Naked Casein costs something like 30% more per serving, but I decided to try it anyway. Others have likened it to powdered skim milk. I can agree with that. There is just a mild powdery taste. The downside is that the servings are two scoops of powder. If you're like me and you like to use two servings to get around 45-50g of protein in a shake, that is 4 scoops of powder. I'm not trying to say they rip you off or anything, as the serving count is properly labeled, but rather that this huge amount of powder makes for a very thick, powdery shake that is unpleasant to drink. To compound this issue, the powder is super fine and makes the water very frothy and airy. I use a large blender bottle with like 25 oz of water. I think I would need like 30+ oz. of water or more to make this palatable enough to be OK with me. That can be a bit much, as people usually take their casein shakes before bed and don't wanna have to down a huge shake right before sleeping. Aside from that, I can't comment on the gains I've gotten from this product, as I'm not a cyborg with measurable biomass particles attributable to a specific source, but I think it's fine. I haven't noticed a change since I moved over from ON casein. The amino acid profile is very similar to ON, which I think is a good brand. I think I will go back to ON when this tub is done. It's a good idea, the whole "naked" thing, but it's just too much powder for me. I love that there are companies that are pioneering (or throwback-ing) to all natural foods, but it's not quite enough yet to win me over for good. If they can work on the consistency and amount of the powder, it would be awesome... no to mention the added cost compared to their biggest competitor. At this time though, I think the ON shakes are just so much smoother and their flavors are not all that bad.

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.

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...

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.

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