Levels Grass Fed Whey Protein Powder, No Artificials, 24G of Protein, Vanilla Bean, 2LB

Clean, Smooth & Effective — My Go-To Protein Now
I’ve tried a lot of protein powders, but Levels Grass Fed Whey really stood out. It mixes smoothly with no clumps, tastes clean (no weird aftertaste), and feels gentle on my stomach. The ingredients are simple — no hormones, no GMOs, no added sugars or fillers — just what I want from a “healthy” option.I use it after workouts and in smoothies, and I’ve noticed better recovery, less bloat, and more satisfaction than with cheap powders. The double chocolate flavor (which I got) is rich but not overly sweet.If you want a protein powder that’s high quality, clean, and that actually works instead of just filling a tub, this is worth 5 stars.

The “Real Deal” Protein Powder
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

Whey cool, dude (& dudette)
This protein powder tastes good and dissolves well for a smooth shake consistency. At first, I thought it was clumping, but I had added collagen powder prior to adding the protein powder and I think there was an interaction, so when I changed the order and mixed this powder first, there was no clumping even after adding the collagen (in case anyone else is doing the same thing). This appears to be the cleanest powder I’ve found that is also lactose-free and tastes good. We were using the Whey, which is a little cleaner, but is not flavored so you really have to add ingredients to make it good (although, my husband was just fine using it). When compared to smaller containers, I found there was a cost savings with this 5lb version when compared to all the other options I was considering, so we are saving money as a bonus (at least with the subscription).

Very tasty and works well in a protein smoothie.

The unflavored protein is good and have clean taste. I also tried other flavor, mocha and vanilla. Both taste so bad. Too sweet and very strange taste of sweetness.
