Grass-Fed New Zealand Whey Protein Isolate

Unflavoured just means there's no flavour added to it, it's just the natural flavour of the whey. Tasting notes vary hugely between people, they have sample packs so you can just try a bunch without committing to a bag.  The Canadian Protein ones I tried 2 years ago were New Zealand Whey concentrate, New Zealand Whey isolate, whey protein isolate, hydrolysed whey protein isolate, premium whey blend, premium whey isolate, egg white protein powder.  Some were absolutely vile (to me, plenty of other people don't mind the taste), others almost disappeared if you mixed them into hot chocolate or a smoothie. From my tasting notes, the hydrolysed whey and premium whey isolate disappeared the best in chocolate milk. New Zealand Whey and whey isolate worked basically fine mixed with lemonade. The other combinations had varying levels of milky/chalky/vomity/weird taste to me but that's very individual.

I found the regular whey protein isolate and premium whey isolate to be pretty similar when mixed in water, the regular had a slightly stronger weird taste that took more other stuff to mask than the premium. But the textures and ease of mixing were the same in the batches I received. 

If you care about what processed foods you put into your body (I do being 30+), the grass-fed New Zealand whey ingredient list is incredibly clean. For quality protein products, they cannot be beat at their current price point. Unfortunately, they have been slowly raising their prices, with the biggest hike being in the last 6 months.

I buy Canadian protein directly from their website since I like their unflavoured grass-fed New Zealand whey, which Costco doesn’t carry. I find the flavoured ones too sweet for me so I just add my own stevia to taste. Their website has discounts and promos every so often, which helps. 

It blends very well, I try to buy their unflavoured unsweetened isolate Ça se mélange très bien. J'essaie d'acheter leur isolat non sucré non aromatisé

It tastes pretty meh on it's own. The flavour disappears if you mix it in oatmeal, but I don't like the texture of that. I prefer their chocolate for taste and texture. The vanilla tastes OK but has a fluffier texture compared to the chocolate, which is more granular.  Edit: Also, IIRC, the nutrition info for the different flavours of the whey isolate is the same across flavours. I haven't heard that unflavoured is more protein dense, so can't comment directly there. 🤷🏼

the unflavoured whey protein tastes a bit like very watered down milk - pretty mild at that.

I'm glad it worked out for you. I just discovered a great way to use it when you're craving something a bit sweet. I used a scoop of the whey isolate, 1 Tbsp of a hot chocolate mix (about 1/3 of the suggested quantity), put a bit of milk (or water) in to make a watery paste and then add hot (but not quite boiling) water. Mix it up and it's a pretty good and easy hot chocolate. Apparently if you use boiling water the whey clumps.

No, I haven't tried that one. I'm looking for nothing but the whey protein to be in the powder. So no flavourings, sweeteners, thickeners, etc.

Canadian Protein does batch testing on all its powders, and you, the consumer, can look up the test results. https://canadianprotein.com/ The only brand that I get their whey from is due to the overall lower heavy metals.
