Good organic whey protein powder
By R. Morris
I was looking for an organic whey protein powder, and this is the best deal I found in terms of price per ounce. At minimum, I wanted an rBGH-, chemical fertilizer- and pesticide-free product; this one is certified organic, which ensures all of those. I also preferred grass-fed, and current organic standards ensure availability of grass year-round as well as pasture access 4 of 12 months (I think). If you're looking for an organic product, I'm assuming I don't need to say more.That being said, this product behaves exactly like my previous "conventional" whey products--it blends nicely with a stick blender (I don't shake, so can't speak for that) and mixes nicely with my typical smoothie mix of fresh and frozen fruit with juice. It's not flavored and is free of most additives (soy lecithin aside) that you'll find in others. The ingredients list, for those curious, reads: "Organic Whey Protein Concentrate and Organic Soy Lecithin (<1%). Contains milk and soy derivatives." (I previously used Optimum Nutrition 100% Any Whey, which was also relatively free of additional flavors and additives; I never liked ones with lots of added ingredients, especially since they usually added lots of fat and cholesterol.)While it's relatively flavorless, I should point out it does have a distinct "organic dairy" flavor, which to me is slightly grassy. I taste this in all organic dairy (especially cheese), so if you've had organic dairy before you might know what I mean. (Or maybe I just have weird tastes.) I don't mind, but just be aware that it will taste like actual dairy instead of the nearly-tasteless "conventional" dairy, and it doesn't have any flavoring (even the Any Why product I mentioned above which is advertised as unflavored does have a bit of flavoring in its ingredients--perhaps a splash of vanilla would do the same for the product here?).While more expensive than "conventional" dairy, I recommend this product for those looking for an organic whey protein powder.

good service, good stuff.
By S. Carney
Couldn't find 'Organic' whey from my usual source for vitamins & supplements.Why ORGANIC?...I wouldn't consider using conventionally farmed whey, I really don't want to consume whey from cows raised on genetically modified grains, chemical fertilizers, and antibiotics.Good service from seller.

Has Soy Lecithin in it
By OrganicAthlete
I didn't realize this product has Soy Lecithin in it. Big disappointment. I don't know why they feel the need to add this into the whey. Isolate is also not good for you because it denatures the amino acids. Concentrate is what you really want.I did find a brand called Raw Organic Whey that doesn't have any soy in it, and it is just one ingredient (organic whey protein):Raw Organic Whey - USDA Certified Organic Whey Protein
