Works, but doesn't taste good,

December 19, 2009

By Analyst

from Los Angeles, CA

"Iron Tek's "Essential Proteins" are really high quality proteins, but the "vanilla cake" does not taste all that great. The "Cookies and Cream" was far better flavor and was perfect with water. The "vanilla cake" is bland and not much better in flavor than many other whey proteins. Get the "Cookies and Cream" flavor if you want good taste. Protein quality in both is equal though--both are excellent and I believe the best value of all the proteins sold on Vitacost"

Great Taste!,

July 12, 2009

"This protein powder really does taste like Vanilla Cake. Makes a great smoothie with just water. It is 135 calories though. If you are restricting your caloric intake I reccomend the Jarrow Unflavored Whey at 85 calories. Note that the amount of protein in the Jarrow whey appears less but the scoop is larger in the IronTek product- so I believe the even out. This powder does provide two sources of protein. I blend it up in water with ice and frozen wild blueberries- delish!"

Great Protein Powder,

June 30, 2009

By Paulnps

from Palm Springs, CA

"This is a great product. Easily blends and with multiple sources of protein it is easily absorbed and put to work quickly.

Its also low in fats and sugars! Great for muscle building when your trying to slim down.

I have used this product for several years and not found any bloating or chalky after taste."

Best Protein,

January 2, 2009

By jerne

from SC

"If you do your homework, really do your homework, you wont find a better Protein powder. All ingredients clearly listed, along with the type of extraction process used. Thats not something a lot of manufacturers list. The whey extraction is the best possible process on the market. It also doesnt have all the artificial stuff most others do. I cant imagine what that other stuff does in the long run, but I know its not good. Irontek Essential Naturals on the otherhand has all the good, none of the bad, and the big thing? ... It has the best taste! Give it a try, I stand by this particular product and have so since I first tried it. I like Vanilla Cake the best, but they are all good, and mild enough to be blended into all types of things. In fact Ive even added it to homemade bread dough, and root beer floats! Oh, another big deal for me, this stuff blends well. Add it to a glass of ANYTHING and it wont clump up. Good Stuff!!!"
