Levels Grass Fed Whey Protein Powder, No Artificials, 24G of Protein, Double Chocolate, 5LB

I love this Levels Grass Fed Whey Protein Powder, No Artificial ingred, 24G of Protein, Strawberry, 2LB powder.Like the ingredients (sulcralose flares my gout), like the quality, like that this levels brand comes in a tub or plastic container over the metallic plastic blend bags. Amazon does not accept returns or replacements of damage for those bags without cutting off my leg. Neither does jayrobbe warranty a 3rd party purchase when's a manufacturer error. Hate the waste and plastic of screw top jugs, but I hate red tape issues more.I am satisfied with the levels brand taste, ease of mixing, price per serving, contains monk fruit or stevia sweetners, protein per serving, being grass fed and overall performance.I am a former jay robbe grass fed microprocessed crossflow stevia whey of 20 years as a daily user and left over packaging durability shipping issues.

I was looking for a clean whey protein without sweeteners or artificial flavors, and this one checks all the boxes. It mixes smoothly into smoothies, oatmeal, and even coffee without clumping. Since it’s unflavored, it doesn’t add sweetness, but that also makes it versatile for cooking or baking. The bag is a little bulky at 5 lbs, so I transferred some into a smaller container for daily use. Great quality and value for the size.

This protein powder is one of the best on the market in terms of ingredients, taste and texture. I wanted to do an in-depth review of this product because I'm pretty sure there are plenty of folks like myself who are constantly looking for a healthy great tasting protein supplement without all the "junk" its made with. It's gets tiresome searching for that one protein powder that hits all the marks (including price point) and at the end of the day, you settle for the powder that has the least amount of sugar (or artificial sweeteners) for a decent price and just forget about it. As long as it tastes good and mixes well, all is good in the valley.I've had my share of trolling Amazon for that perfect powder, sometimes spending up to an an hour at a time to find one that I can live with long term. I've tried tons of different brands and some were awesome while others were not so awesome. Either way, the powders I chose had the least amount of artificial sweeteners and relatively low carbs. The taste and texture were the only elements that separated the good from the bad...that is...until I did a little more research on those "other" ingredients you usually see on labels. You know.....the ones with ingredient names that are nine syllables long and a bit of struggle to pronounce. I can honestly say, I disregarded those other ingredients for a long time as I figured they were just there to make up the composition of the powder. Never bothered with finding out what they actually were.There's one ingredient I found to be in all the powders I'd been consuming over the years that instantly changed the game for me. And that ingredient is Acesulfame Potassium (or Ace-K).This artificial sweetener is so bad for you healthwise, that it's actually banned in some countries. It's 200X sweeter than sugar and, needless to say, spikes your insulin levels ridiculously high and wreaks havoc on your liver. Consuming this ingredient (in any food product for that matter) is basically a health hazard and sadly, it's found in a majority of those "great tasting" protein powders we love, rant and rave about. This ingredient is most likely the cause of complaints I see about powders being overly sweet. I actually discarded a couple tubs of powder after discovering they both contained Acesulfame Potassium. Not this protein powder.Natural sweeteners like stevia leaf extract, monk fruit, cacao etc. are the best ingredients from a health standpoint (in my opinion). This protein powder is not candy sweet and doesn't taste what some would call "incredibly delicious" like a liquid dessert but it does offer a mild natural sweet taste that can be modified to suit your taste buds, if you prefer more sweetness. I actually prefer the mild sweet taste from the natural sweeteners because it doesn't overpower my tase buds with sugar to the point where dopemines are released and it just tastes natural, like I should be drinking this, that it was meant to be. There's a sense of comfort knowing that your protein drink is optimized for your best health. That's what this protein powder offers. Just as it says on the label "Nothing Fake. Ever"The texture is very fine, almost dust-like, so it mixes extremely well. Clumps are nonexistent. I got the Chocolate Mocha flavor and let me tell you...the mocha coffee taste is real. Mildly sweet and just a joy to drink alone with almond milk, water, mixed into a smoothie or in your coffee.Compare the ingredients of this powder to the article of ingredients you find on most other powders and ask yourself the obvious. I'll say it again, this powder is the real deal in every aspect from the cost to the texture to the taste to the ingredients. I highly recommend.The most important takeaway from this is whether you decide on this powder or another, just make sure whatever you choose doesn't contain Acesulfame Potassium. Your health will thank you later.All the best

Love the protein powder, was looking for something basic without artificial sweeteners,( although it does have stevia leaf extract) and other miscellaneous crap added. It mixes well, I use almond milk and either strawberries or blueberries, occasionally a dollop of peanut butter! It's not super sweet which I like, you can always add that while mixing if you want a sweeter taste. The reason for the 4 stars is because of the packaging, plastic container that when opened it's half full of product. I get that it's packaged by weight of said protein powder but at least adjust the size of the container to accommodate the contents...unfortunately another plastic container that may (or may not?) be recycled. I did notice that some protein powder was coming in resealable bags now....

This is ,by far, the best protein powder I’ve ever had. Clean, delicious, reasonably priced considering it’s grassfed whey. Mixes great. Get it. The sweetness is just right for me. Made a smoothie with unsweetened almond milk, chia, frozen strawberries and spinach. Satiating and delicious. 24 grams protein. I put it on subscription.

Had to come leave a review for my fellow picky eaters. The texture on this powder is incredible not gritty at all. I got the vanilla flavor and i swear if you blend it with fruit it tastes like a milkshake. I just did the powder, frozen blueberries, coconut water, and a splash of lime juice and i’m obsessed. However, if you blend with fruit i would recommend drinking your shake right away and not letting it sit because it might separate. Has a slight aftertaste (because of the stevia i'm assuming) but BARELY & it’s nothing unbearable and that’s definitely expected because hellooo it’s a protein powder not an actual dessert LOL. Also love how clean it the ingredients are. I used to use Orgain vanilla and Garden of Life, safe to say they will never see me again. Levels for the win!!

I use this protein in almost all my baking and it makes very good shakes. I love that it only has two ingredients and doesn't alter the taste. It does not have a "fake" taste when mixed with milk to drink. I love it with 1 cup of milk, chia seeds and a splash of honey. It is also amazing to replace 1/3-1/2 of my flour in my baking recipeswithout changing the consistency of the recipe- makes the absolute BEST protein pumpkin and banana breads! Highly recommend
