Transparent Labs Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate - Naturally Flavored, Gluten Free Whey Protein Powder with 28g of Protein per Serving & 9 Amino Acids - 30 Servings, Chocolate Peanut Butter

Here is my unpaid, unbiased review: Strengths: -The biggest strength is that TL goes out of its way to ensure and show that their protein is free of significant contaminants, which is something I was looking for. The Informed Protein and Informed Choice labels are good, but the real star of the show is the readily available CoAs which appears to be an unparalleled practice. I wish every brand had these. -28g of protein is very good. Many other “clean” brands I found have 24 or fewer grams. And you know it’s actual protein. -The texture is good, very smooth with minimal clumping. I have used both a shaker bottle and automatic blender bottle with similar results. -Chocolate flavor is decent, I’ve had slightly better but way worse. Reminds me a lot of Premier Protein’s chocolate flavor. Areas for improvement: -This is like picking out pimples on the face of a supermodel, but I believe NSF Certified for Sport and Informed Sport are both more stringent than Informed Choice. I’d like to see one of those make it on the label instead, even at the cost of being slightly pricier, but again, not a huge deal. -There’s also no typical amino acid profile I could find available on the website. Some other brands have this. It’s not something I pay attention to, but there’s someone out there who does, I’m sure. -For people who don’t like stevia or sunflower lecithin, those are in the flavored varieties. I couldn’t care less about these, though. -The flavor isn’t perfect - the balance between stevia and cocoa seems to lean a bit more towards the stevia side, but maybe that’s just me. Or else it’s because cocoa powder has to be minimal to minimize heavy metal contaminants. -It is a bit foamy at first after mixing, but quickly settles down after 1-2 minutes. But I cannot emphasize enough how nit-picky this is. Overall: great protein powder supplement, I plan to use this for the foreseeable future.

I bought this to use as my daily whey protein for smoothies and post-workout, and I’ve been impressed with both the quality and how clean it is. I’m pretty picky about ingredients, and I love that this is grass-fed with no artificial sweeteners - it feels like a product I don’t have to second-guess. What I noticed right away: -Mixes really smoothly in a shaker bottle, no gritty texture -Light, not overly sweet flavor (which I prefer since I add fruit) -No bloating or stomach heaviness afterward, which I sometimes get with whey Taste + texture: I’ve used it with both water and almond milk. With water, it’s very clean and drinkable. With almond milk it feels creamier and more like a milkshake. I also blended it with banana + ice and it came out super smooth. Results & use case: I mainly take this after workouts or as a quick breakfast when I don’t have time to cook. It keeps me full for a few hours and gives me a solid protein bump without feeling heavy. What I’d change: The flavor is mild, which I like, but if you prefer sweeter shakes you may want to blend with fruit or add a drop of honey. A slightly larger container size option would also be nice. Who this is perfect for: Someone who wants a clean, grass-fed whey with simple ingredients, good digestion, and a neutral flavor that works well alone or in smoothies. Overall, a reliable everyday protein powder that feels clean, mixes easily, and doesn’t upset my stomach - will definitely repurchase.

This is the absolute purest and best whey isolate protein that I have ever used, bar none. There is only one ingredient. No additives, no fillers, nothing but 100% pure whey protein isolate. Mixes like a dream. I use mine in yogurt mostly. I love the milk malted milk flavor. I haven't seen a clump in mine yet. i will continue to use this protein despite the fact that it seems a little pricey and despite the fact that it comes in a large container that only seems half filled when i open it...but in this case, the benefits to me far outweigh the minor annoyances I have mentioned here and i will always use it as long as it is available. I know such products are usually sold by weight so i should not be concerned about the size of the container. I have to be fair here. Basically this is the best protein supplement I have ever used.

Super clean high protein whey isolate for muscle growth & recovery. It blends easily into oats and yogurt without clumping and it's bakes well! Makes the best ninjna creami too. I love all of their flavors but the vanilla flavor is my favorite since it's so versatile.
