Ranges Grass Fed Whey Protein Powder, No Artificials, 25G of Protein, Unflavored, 5LB

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

Levels Grass Fed Whey Protein Powder, No Artificials
I recently picked up the Levels Grass Fed Whey Protein Powder in Vanilla Bean, and I’ve got to say, it’s a solid choice! The flavor is rich and not overly sweet, which I appreciate. It mixes well in smoothies, oatmeal, or even just with water—no weird clumps to deal with!Sure, it’s a bit on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for: high-quality ingredients and no artificial nonsense. It packs a punch with 24 grams of protein per scoop, which is perfect for my post-workout routine.If you’re looking to invest in your health without all the fillers, this is a great option!

Amazing product
I’m happy to report finding a great high-quality protein option that’s both affordable and tastes great. I definitely recommend giving it a try. Very few ingredients and preservatives

Delivery timelines were awful. Took over two weeks since I ordered, no updates, had to go digging through my amazon account to find where the shipment maybe and when it would arrive. Product itself is fine. But the delivery timelines need to be changed..

Unflavored, mixes quickly!

I have some concerns because I couldn’t find any online platform to view third-party reports for my lot number. Consequently, I reached out to Levels requesting the reports, but they refused, stating that the reports are confidential. I find it quite perplexing that they advertise their products as clean, free of fillers, and regularly tested for heavy metals, yet they deem the reports confidential when requested. I’m puzzled about what could be confidential in these reports, especially since their supplement is consumed by people. Due to this, I’ve decided not to purchase from them again and would advise others to do the same unless they become more transparent. The primary reason I chose this protein was because of their cleanliness claims.
