LEGION Casein+ Casein Protein Powder (Cinnamon Cereal) - Slow-Release Micellar Casein Protein Powder - Non-GMO, Gluten-Free & Naturally Sweetened Casein Powder from Grass-Fed Cows

UPDATE ON FAVORITE FLAVORS:Their creamy smoothness has only improved over the years! My new favorites are Cinnamon Cereal, Chocolate, and Banana Cream Pie (tastes like Runts banana candy). Vanilla was ok and strawberry wasn't very good. Super filling shake that is great for weight loss!-----------It's hard to find a quality protein powder with minimal ingredients. Finding a grass fed protein powder at reasonable prices is difficult. Most of the grass fed powders I have seen are in the ultra high luxury end of the market. This one is in the reasonably priced high end market.PROS:-I like that it's grass fed because grass fed dairy products have better micronutrition-Mixed with milk it is extra creamy-0g fat and almost no carbs (I like to get my carbs and fat from tastier sources and not protein powders)-Slow digesting and helpful for weight lossCONS:-I tried both flavors (vanilla and chocolate). Both wrappers did not peel nicely from the top. (I had to peel the wrapper twice because the inner layer stayed intact). This is a minor complaint that the manufacturer should probably fix...To the last point, about weight loss: I think casein protein powders are underrated for weight loss. They're very helpful to feel full longer. One of my favorite ways to eat a very filling breakfast on few calories is:FILLING BREAKFAST:-casein protein shake-cottage cheese + a little bit of jam-A few egg whitesIt's slow digesting protein staked with slow digesting proteins. I feel full for 4-8 hours easily off of that.

Let's start by being upfront about casein protein: It's weird. It has a unique consistency and doesn't mix as nicely as whey in water. That said, you can't beat the Legion Casein protein.My previous experience was with a banana flavor from a different company (rhymes with Shmoptimum Bluetrition) that left me feeling very uneasy about using casein as a supplement. The taste was VERY artificial and chemically. It was nearly impossible to get into solution without a blender and had a very chalky consistency. What I liked was that after dinner and before bed I could have casein as a snack without resorting to high-sugar treats. When the banana stuff ran out, I looked to see what else was available and found the legion protein.I think this stuff is leaps and bounds ahead of the other brand. First, the flavor is a mild chocolate, like a baker's chocolate and gives you the feeling you're eating real food, not a lab product. Second, the consistency is much better than others. It easily goes into solution in a normal blender bottle with a few shakes. Last, you get a great full feeling without any stomach distress or night farts (which is good unless you have a fondness for dutch ovens).If I could, I rate the product at 4.5 stars because the scoops of protein are so large that it's tricky not to spill when retrieving from the bottle and it does require at least 10-12 oz water. That said, I'll be buying again in the future.

I was looking for a protein cassein protein powder with limited artificial ingredients to replace my current pp and a review led me to this product. Shipment - the bag came with a tear in it and I had to transfer the contents to a freezer bag. Product - I first added the powder to my cottage cheese snack. It did not blend at all to the cc (not an issue with other pp's) and I had to add a bit of water to get it to stick (gross). The taste was just bad all around, bland, chalky, grainy) I tried it again the next morning by adding it to my morning breakfast shake. It did not blend well again (had to scrape the side of the shaker to get it in) and the taste was terrible. I made it half-way through my shake and threw the rest out as it was inedible. I appreciate the limited product ingredients and natural flavorings but to my taste, it is not something I will ever use again. Expensive and a waste of my money. Very unhappy with this purchase.

At first I was worried since the scoop was double the size of the birthday cake flavor. I mixed it with yogurt like I’m used to with other powders but this one ran thick. I added soy milk to make it a bit more smooth. It tasted like a cinnamon sugar cookie. I like it, I think I like the birthday cake consistency a bit more when it comes to mixing it with yogurt. They both are delicious flavors. The cinnamon roll is a bit too dense for me as a shake. It can only be in the blender a second or it’s all foam which upsets my stomach. Otherwise if I get it just right it’s still very heavy for me and collects at the bottom like sand. The birthday cake flavor which is not casein is lighter and still can get foamy if in the blender for too long but not nearly as gritty in a shake or nearly as heavy. I am a small gal with a weak stomach though, so keep that in mind! The flavors are amazing, the cinnamon roll and birthday cake flavors are delicious.
