Earthborn ElementsWhey Protein Isolate, 1 Gallon Bucket, Protein Powder, Unflavored, Workout Supplement

Amazing value and great price. I've been using protein supplements for more than 25 years, always aiming for the best quality and value. I'm very satisfied with this Whey Isolate and also tested it at home by pouring boiling water on top of the powder and, as expected by a high-quality whey, it created lumps instead of dissolving. Btw it dissolves perfectly fine in cold/regular temperature water and even soymilk!

Needed to get the lid open by starting with a pair of pliers, then it peeled off easily by hand. There wasn't a scoop in the bucket that I received, only a moisture absorber. I use a 14.7cc scoop from a dog fiber container which equals, according to a measurement conversion for protein powder website, 7.3g of protein/scoop. I soon discovered that this powder is flavorless in a glass of water. Too, while it clumped and didn't dissolve in hot coffee, it dissolved easily, simply stirred into cold water and juices, Greek yogurt... any cold, liquidy food or beverage without having to putts with a blender to make smoothies. Using the calculator on the Harvard Heath website, based on gender, age, weight, height and activity level, I should get 60g of protein/day, which isn't always that easy for me at regular meals; I rarely have any afternoon meals, for example. According to the Mayo Clinic website, a person should aim for 15-30g of protein at one meal sitting. Studies show that getting more/sitting is not more beneficial (it won't be absorbed) and is a waste of $. As an old guy, who still lifts weights (since 9th grade), I'm aiming at stopping muscle mass loss and perhaps even increasing it some over time. The easy addition of this protein powder to my diet will ensure that I'm able to get the amount that I need/day to remain a better-than-average-healthy-and-active old guy.

It took a lot of effort to get the lid open. I've seen poorly constructed packaging, but this is a clear winner in bad design. It seems like their goal was to limit access to the product which seems like a bad idea for business. The product itself is a great value. I appreciate the lack of added / artificial ingredients. 8lbs of isolate of this quality under $50 - I'll deal with the hard to open lid.

If you require protein supplementation, this is an economical deal. I’ll add vanilla extract and or cocoa powder if I need it flavored. Stevia drops can add sweetness if you’re not adding fruit to your shake. Container is great for storing stuff after too— like legos (if you’re the type to hold onto stuff like this)

Tasted like absolutely nothing was very disgusting. Didn’t come with a scoop so didn’t know how much you actually were putting in your protein drink. Which is never good when you are trying to get jacked. Add some flavor when you are drinking a protein shake you need flavor to even swallow it down.

Awesome product

Flavorless and less odor than a previous brand I purchased. Overall it blends well with many foods and drinks

Pros! and cons!Pros great deal for the price...I would give it five stars but.Conns!It appears to be Amino spiked!!!Which means the actual protein content could be as much as half of what the label says.I had to take a magnifier to the label to read and even then a lot of the letters are difficult to read huge amino acid profile.Amino spiking is the process where they put in cheap amino acids. So when it undergoes testing it appears to have more protein than it does.It's still a great deal for the price but probably getting far less protein than what's on the label
