Bought creamy vanilla last month form costco and noticed the salts just sitting in the bottom no matter how much i blend This month i ordered chocolate (white container) and same sort of salty residue. That led me to this thread. I’m so disappointed, its my favorite protein powder since 4+ years

Just wanted to add I agree with everything here. Switched back to isopure from dymatize iso100 and had to google why it tastes salty. Very frustrating
I’ve stuck with the Isopure for a couple years now (the unflavored). The taste isn’t great, but it’s not too bad either. Lots of protein, little pain and not horrible on calories/fat. The MyProtein and Optimum Nutrition are awful tasting in my opinion.
I currently buy Isopure Low Carb 100% Pure Whey Isolate Protein Powder on Amazon because I know my body doesn’t like lactose or gluten. I *think* this is lactose/gluten free and tastes decent. Is this different than beef isolate?
Isopure low carb vanilla. It has isolate whey protein instead of the typical whey.
Thank You for sharing. I just received the new powder and you hit every single point I was going to say. I’m looking for a new protein powder
