Goliath Labs Whey Protein Isolate [5 lbs/Pack of 1/Vanilla] –Pure Protein Powder, 100% Cold Filtered, 24,000mg Amino Acids/Serving, Muscle-Building Protein Mix (Packaging May Vary) – Sports Nutrition

Edit - March 2017Fairly certain the formula changed in some way. New container of strawberry looks, mixes, and tastes differently.Old label - Whey Isolate, Natural and artificial Chocolate Flavour, Xanthan Gum, Sucralose.New label - Whey Isolate, Natural Strawberry Flavor, Soy Lecithin, Beet Powder, Bromelain, Sucralose.Both of those lists are from a strawberry container. Friend uses the same product, he notices the change as well. The protein outright looks different (not nearly as pick, more towards a light orange), mixes far differently, and doesn't have as sweet of a taste.Pros? The change makes it mix far better than it used to. Doesn't clump at all, it's not too far from MuscleTech or ON at this point.It still tastes pretty good. It doesn't have an overwhelming strawberry taste anymore (which I will miss), but it still tastes pretty good, in some ways better.I recently bought a few badges of MuscleTech Milk Chocolate protein, I do prefer that chocolate over Goliath's, however I don't know if the chocolate changed as well. Would definitely buy Goliath over the MuscleTech, as the Goliath is pure Isolate, compared to a mixture.Cons? Someone asked if the formula change, seller denied any changes, just a "label update". I don't trust that. I've gone through too many containers of this protein to not notice the change.Original - I guess I'm one of the few that don't see this protein as "too sweet". I think it's great. Taste and mixability is not as good as ON Whey Isolate, but is very close to half the price per scoop. I use a Contigo mixer bottle with a blender ball around Cintigo's mixing ball, which in combination mixes seems to anything pretty well. This protein does take quite a bit more shaking to mix it compared to any other brand I've had. I have both the chocolate and vanilla containers, friend got the strawberry. All mix great in a mixer bottle if you apply 2-3x (20-30 seconds, possibly a little more) more effort then other proteins. Would sitll highly recommend, will definitely be ordering mosI may be a bit biased as I'm switching from a cheaper Costco's MuscleMilk protein, which is basically a bag of sweetener. After drinking that for a few months, I don't think anything will be "too sweet" for anymore.

I'm not gonna lie, I was skeptical about this because of the fact I never heard of this protein, like Optimum Nutrition. 81 servings of 24g of protein at 117 calories at about $45 was too good to pass up though. Great whey protein at a very good price, especially for a whey isolate. The chocolate flavor is actually very good. One of the better tasting ones I have had.I am not sure what someone was talking about when they said it's hard to mix. I use a blender bottle, like I do with all whey proteins in the past and this was one of the easiest whey proteins to mix. I'm hoping that not too many people find about this protein, so the price doesn't increase.As of right now, this whey protein is a nice kept secret and will buy again when I run out. I think I found my permanent post-workout whey protein going forward.

good price,for isolate however, taste horrible

Goliath Labs powder mixes OK. You can't just stir it in with a spoon, but it mixes fine with a blender bottle.Other reviewers have said it's on the sweet side, and they weren't kidding! It might be OK if you have the sweet tooth of a six year old, I guess, but I couldn't even swallow it. The flavor's good, but WAY too strong. I didn't want it to go to waste, so I bought some unflavored whey isolate from NOW Foods here on Amazon. Even mixing it 50/50, it's still way too sweet. I mixed together one part Goliath labs protein to three parts unflavored protein, and the result tastes excellent.Edited to upgrade to four stars. I've tried quite a few other brands of whey isolate now, and I keep coming back to this mix of 1 part Goliath labs protein for flavoring, to three parts NOW Foods unflavored whey isolate as the base. The flavor is excellent, the price is great. You just have to dilute it down to get the right flavor for your preferences, I guess.

I purchased this for 39.99 and at the time of this review, these are now 42.99. DO NOT be surprised if the price goes up again very soon! So, get yours now!!! I ordered 10 lbs. (2*5 lbs.), and tried it out. I then immediately ordered an additional 10 lbs. This stuff is phenomenal for the price!! Even Whey Concentrate would be considered reasonably priced for this cost (Isolate is more expensive because of some extra filtration). The ONLY complaint I have (and trust me, it's worth dealing with) this flavor and the chocolate do not instantly mix with a spoon; not even close. Even with a shaker, there still might be a few clumps after several minutes of shaking on the way out of the gym to my car. Even still, the tiny clumps are kind of delicious! lol. That minor setback aside, this is a no-brainer!! If these are still in the low $40's for a 5 lb. container, stock up now!! That price will NOT last!!

Very glad I waited and bought this over Costco bulk options. This is perfect for what I wanted. Cold filtered, unaltered pure iso protein. Ok, ingredients say it has some Xanthun Gum but that's it. Highest % of protein to gram content I've found since doing my research. Tastes like powdered milk just a bit weaker. Isn't thick like protein powders I used to take in high school. Actually, mixed into about 240z it's very watery which is not surprising as the directions say to mix with 16oz but it's really up to you. I'm so glad I got this and not stuck with some chocolate/vanilla/strawberry crap full of useless sugars and other crap. Feeling very clean taking this stuff. Oh, and mixes well using a blender bottle. Just about 20-30 seconds of easy does it shaking makes it fine to drink. No complaints on bubbles/foam not that I've ever cared with other products to begin with. Good stuff hope the company stays around for a long time. HEY SEND ME SOME FREE STUFF I'LL DO MORE REVIEWS FOR YOU! <lol, but for real.

Love this protein, my favourite is to go through all 3 flavours. I find the taste is very bold and refreshing.

Love Goliath labs, always like to switch between flavors. can never go wrong with some strawberry :)

Love the vanilla flavor. Great taste and with a spoon full of psyillium husks in my shakes

Great product, no problems with mixing, taste is great. Love it, and its price too!
