Ascent Casein Protein Powder - 25g Micellar Casein Powder with Zero Artificial Flavors & Sweeteners, Gluten Free, No Added Sugar, 4.9g BCAA, 2.2g Leucine - Chocolate Peanut Butter, 2 Pounds

I use this in my peanut butter protein bars. The vanilla doesn’t have taste that overpowers the other important ingredients. Comes with its own 1/2 cup measuring spoon.

This is a wonderful product! Super clean. Short list of natural, safe ingredients. Just as I’ve come to expect from Ascent! I’ve had zero digestive issues while consuming this product and it has made a very positive difference in my post workout recovery. Specifically, I’ve noticed a significant reduction in my day after muscle soreness and stiffness.I don’t understand all the complaints about taste. The choc/peanut butter tastes like just that! Everyone wants all their fancy supplements to taste like kids sugar cereal. If that’s your jam, do you. But if you want clean, safe ingredients, you can’t have a fruity pebble shake. Otherwise, enjoy your sucralose and acesulfame potassium.Regarding the complaints of grittiness: That is casein. It is a slightly grittier compound than whey. Any minimally processed casein product will have this texture. It isn’t a whey substitute. It is a different compound with a different purpose.Regarding complaints about it being too thick: Add more liquid! My preference is 10-12 oz for a drinkable shake. 4-6 oz or so will yield a more pudding like consistency. Again, it will make a thicker result than the same ratio of whey to liquid. Personally I find no fat milk to mix really well with it. If you’re concerned about too much sugar from the extra milk you can cut it with water.For mixing I use a small, cordless $14 shake mixer (blender with a plastic paddle) and it does a great job so I can’t speak for stirring or shaker cups, but in this preparation I get nice, consistent results.Thank you Ascent for providing us with an awesome, clean supplement! Now just make this available at Costco😉

This protein doesn't have all the extra crap that isn't good for you. warning, it's not sweet, but it's great.

Switched to this in a search for replacement from kaged case inProduct ingredients seem fairly cleanTaste is off a bit so I add a small scoop of vanilla whey to make up for itI mix with warm water and it blends wellWill stick with this brand unless I find something betterI feel like it helps to drink casein at night

Product tastes fine but mixes poorly. Worst thing is bloat and gastric distress. I love the whey from this brand but this product is not going to be used and of course no returns available. Order at your own risk….

5 stars. A quality addition/alternative to whey protein. It does thicken liquid when mixed in unless you drink it fairly quickly. On the plus side, this thickening characteristic makes it more economical; it can be mixed with water instead of milk or synthetic milk products like almond milk.

It’s filling and good to have at night not only to satisfy sweet cravings, but also to control hunger. It also has the ability to be mixed with less liquid to make a thicker consistency. I like to have mine with a pudding consistency as a dessert.

I agree with a lot of the other reviewers about this protein powder. The taste is something that takes some getting used to, but I don't find it that bad at all. I love that it doesn't have any artificial sweeteners in it. My biggest problem is that it's like trying to drink wet concrete. It's so incredibly thick that I have to thin it down with about double the recommended liquid (milk in my case) to make it even possible for me to choke down. The consistency is pretty awful and I think it pretty much ruins the drink if you aren't adding much more water/milk. If it wasn't for that, I'd probably stick with this. Unfortunately I'll be looking around for an alternative.
