Product is exactly as advertised. You're getting a kilo (or whatever size you ordered) of unflavored whey powder that holds together and dissolves surprisingly well – though pretty much always mix my whey into oatmeal or something similar, so the heat could be helping out there – but in any case, this is a pretty solid product. Unflavored might seem like a turnoff to some, but I've never really cared much for taste, and in an odd way, it seems to make what you added it to more hearty and wholesome. So for those that are concerned with palatability or gustatory eating, keep that in mind. Minimal clumping and minimal stick; this stuff is truly dry and will not stick to anything unless steam or humidity gets into the package or your scooper – as is the case with pretty much any other whey, or anything dehydrated for that matter. The whey comes out of the bag clean and comes off and out of the scooper clean.
Speaking of which, on a quick side note, the scoop I used is one from another whey product, as this does not come with its own scooper. On one hand, that's a bit of a detriment if you don't have your own scooper, but on the other hand, it saves resources when you think that not every single package of whey will come with a scooper that may or may not get thrown out. Also, the ziplock opening may seem like it's not able to close at first, but it's really just from the shifting and settling of the contents in the slider. You can either force-press the zips together like I did or just brush it off back into the package, and then you'll get it to close – if that happens to be the case with you as it was with me. Plus, I should mention that you should BE CAREFUL when you're using a fat or pointy knife to open the box; you might poke a few holes in your whey since this is in a packet/package/pouch as opposed to the containers/tubs of other protein companies.
But anyways, that's essentially BulkSupplements Whey in a nutshell. It's not anything spectacular, but what it does, it does well. I'm not one that subscribes to the theory of downing whey after every single workout the moment I drop the barbell. I use whey just as it is described as; a "supplement." It's really just a simple way for me to get some extra good quality protein in, particularly on days where I've felt that my total intake was low, and also when I really don't feel like eating much. I would definitely recommend this product just off of the fact that you can get a good amount of quality whey in bulk. I got the bulk creatine from this company a year ago and I was pretty pleased with what I got. Same goes here.

I’m impressed.
I am super impressed! This protein powder dissolves completely in cold or warm water, doesn’t clump, and has a neutral flavor. I’ve added it to my coffee (mixed with the half-and-half, and a bit of cool coffee) and it works great. I add it to my yogurt to boost the protein, and make my own flavored electrolyte protein drink mixing in some LMNT or just adding a True Lemon drink pack. There’s no weird chalky taste and no digestion issues. I do only use half the recommended amount at a time but I’ve been very pleased with the quality and price.

Good product
First off, I read several reviews claiming that the package cannot be closed once it is opened. Of course, my initial reaction was that people were complaining about nothing, but really, you will not be able to seal this bag once it is opened. In fact, it is so terribly designed, you cannot even fathom why they even attempted to put a ziplock-type seal on the bag. They need to find a different manufacturer for the seal because the one they use doesn’t even come close to working. You will be finding some kind of alternative to seal the product.As for the product, I am happy with it because it is not loaded with nasty unhealthy additives. Look at the label of virtually every other protein supplement, and it is shocking what they throw in the bag. Of course, the others taste delicious, and even when they claim that there is no added sugar, or just one gram of sugar, they are loaded with fake sugar, which is so much worse for ingestion. With that being said, however, this does not taste good. To keep it simple, I stir it into a glass of water and just chug it down. It doesn’t taste awful, but it is not pleasant. It is worth it knowing that you’re not loading yourself up with nasty chemicals.I would have given this product 5 stars, but the bag that doesn’t seal brought my rating down to 4 stars. You’ll be happy with the product though.

Best protien powder dissolves quickly in my coffee
I’ve tried multiple protien powders for my coffee and this is the only powder that dissolves quickly with no clumps. That alone is worth it to me. This and Bullet Proof collagen protien unflavored powders both dissolve in hot and cold liquids. This has no taste so doesnt affect my starbucks carmel macchiato!

Great protein powder
I was getting Naked Whey, which is my favorite protein powder out there. It contained only one ingredient, Whey Protein Concentrate. It was also 90 dollars for 5 lbs. So I went looking for another as my children would have complained if I chose protein powder over food for them, go figure. 🙂 This powder contained only two ingredients: Whey Protein Concentrate and Soy Lecithin so I purchased it. My main concern over this product is the fact that it contains Soy Lecithin but looking at other similar products, all of them do, which is unfortunate. I do wish Bulk Supplements made a protein concentrate that contained only whey protein concentrate, as un-fermented soy in American diets is relatively well documented. But, knowing all this I made the purchase anyhow so my review doesn’t reflect this as I knew all this when I was buying it. Just hoping Bulk Supplements makes a protein powder that contains ONLY Whey.As for the Whey, it had the expected whey flavor; which I don’t find all that displeasing. It mixes very well with water and with milk. The taste was VERY similar to that of Naked Whey, with a slight.. other flavor(?) which I can only assume is the Soy Lecithin. Regardless, this is definitely a great protein powder for the price and will be purchasing this in the future. Now, if I can only convince my wife to allow me to get a larger size so I’m not buying month to month! Ultimately I’ve become a very big fan of Bulk Supplements products as they have, thus far, delivered quality products at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend this powder
