Naked Casein

I bought the five pounder in August 2022. Still have some left and it's August 2026. It has not gone rancid or anything. The scent/odor reminds me of the Carnation Coffee Mate when I was a kid. I use it from time to time when I think I need the protein because I didn't eat enough on a given day.

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 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.

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!

Based on the reviews, I anticipated a difficult to handle powder needing a high speed or a stick blender, or at the very least, a shaker bottle. I put 15grams of powder into a thin tall beaker, poured about a tablespoon or so of milk over it and stirred with a chopstick to see how long it would take to incorporate. I was surprised that it very quickly changed into a paste, or pudding-like consistency, and the lumps quickly smoothed away (not even half a minute). A tiny bit chalky in taste, but not unpleasant, and with a slight powdered milk flavor. It made a nice pudding with a bit of sweetener, dried coconut flakes for texture, and a few almonds to give it some crunch. From the paste, it incorporates any liquid easily, just by stirring with a spoon. Adding milk to it makes it taste like milk, without thickening it.
