15-lbs New World Nutritionals Whey Protein Isolate (Various)

Ahhh you got me. It's really only about 2lbs a day or 30 servings, so after a week I do have about a pound left. Usually I'll mix up 10 servings in a 40oz Stanley Quencher with plain water in the early morning and refill that at around noon and about 6pm. Seems to work for me and really isn't that expensive when you consider the inflated price of food and eating out.

How bad is the unflavored one?

I'm at the point where I just cannot drink any chocolate or vanilla flavor.

But I've never had unflavored protein.

Every comment this person posts is an attempt to be funny, they have probably never seen the inside of a gym.

fwiw it's barely any flavor, still using it as of last 6 months

Interesting to read the back and forth, appreciate the honesty and testing and especially examining the testing methods & reaching out to the supplier. I would like for it not to be bad but who knows, inconclusive as of now but very methodical info.

*This post ended up being a bit longer winded than I initially intended*

There are a lot of people commenting about this product (line) and I wanted to add to it.

Though New World Protein is not very popular, it is NOT cheap foreign protein. The owner of this company is a guy named Plato. He is/was a knowledgeable guy who did countless videos about working out, nutrition, and the "bro" lifestyle. Unfortunately, He was banned by youtube.

The channel was the same name, newworldnutrition or newworld nutritionals I forget) because the topics of his videos pushed against the terms of service.
Specifically, the use of PED's, as well as what some people could consider "conspiracy theories" in terms of big pharma. He's also a bit of a "red pill" guy back before red pill was a thing.

I could go on and on about some of the subjects he broached but the short answer is that I really did enjoy his channel because he gave a lot of value and straight answers.
I never got the sense that he was an internet marketer disguised as a "bro." Every once in a while, he would plug his protein but it wasn't every video, and it was for protein and not some online coaching program.

Despite being banned for "spreading misinformation" Plato has a fair amount of credibility with me because so much of his advice given on youtube held true. When he used to plug this stuff, he would tout it as the best quality protein on the market. Something along the lines of "it's not cheap protein, it's quality, and you pay for that quality."

He never gave me the impression in the dozens of videos I watched as being dishonest. I was broke 7 or so years ago when the man was actively posting videos so I never tried his product. At $37.33 per 5 pounds ($112/3) that is not a bad deal. The price of whey has gone up just like everything else.

Quick note: Obviously, the man has made an impression on me because he was on a mission to share his knowledge for the betterment of his viewers. Simple things. But helpful things.

(example, try hanging for long periods of time to ease shoulder joint pain, or how the biggest guy in the gym won't always give the best workout advice because they are big because of drugs or genetics.)

All this talk inspired me to do a half hearted search on Rumble to see if Plato has started posting vids again. He has not. =(

Anyways, in for one.

Will report back on if the protein passes the "basic 3" test.

Basic 3, how to know if a protein is good:
1) Does it taste good? Yes, in the pursuit of getting swole, we can choke down chalk. But we shouldn't have to. If it tastes good, we'll drink more of it. If it tastes good, we'll know the company has spent resources ACTUALLY taste testing their product.
2) Does it mix with a spoon? It is an extra (and costly) manufacturing step to add non clumping agents to protein. Many companies skip it.
3) Can you drink it without intestinal issues? Gas, diarrhea, bloating, these are all signs of low quality protein. One of the reasons some of us use protein powder and not milk, or milk powder is because we're lactose intolerant. A cheap manufacturer will either not filter the whey to remove the lactose, or keep/add it as a filler.

In for one, and will post back with my findings.
