tried alot of others, looking for low carb, low fat and was really focused on putting on clean gains. I have been using for 90 days now and I am very happy with results. So far these protein has given me the best overall clean gains ever. I have seen next to no fat accumulation, when I did feel a bit coming on a few extra minuts of cardio took care of that. I have great pumps, and energy in gym. I have used others as mentioned that have caused me to gain to much soft gains, which caused a stricker cutting period. So far I feel i am already half-way into my cut, and I am still packing on clean meat. I am very happy and will continue to use for know. I am supplementing with other products as well, and I have been working out for many years.

After reading the review here and discovering that my local Costco carries this, I decided to give it a try, as the price is so good, especially for whey protein isolate.

I got the vanilla ice cream flavour. The taste is mild yet pleasant. It doesn't taste as good as a micellar casein-based product, but to me it tastes better than American Whey (another great budget protein).

Since I'm in Canada and the only way to get American Whey at a good price is from the US, I would rather avoid the substantial shipping charges, thus this Kaizen isolate will probably replace it as my budget protein.

Note that the serving scoop that comes in the container provides 35g of protein, which may be too much if you mix it in a cup of milk - I changed mine to a 70g scoop so that my total protein including the milk is about 35g.

Containing very little lactose, this WPI should be good for those who are lactose intolerant, like me.

Update:

Being somewhat of a chocoholic, I've been buying the decadent chocolate version for a couple of years now. However, after so long, the flavour gets a little tedious. Being also a coffee lover (mostly because I'm a flavour junkie), I can give you a couple of tips on how to spruce up the taste immensely and really enjoy your protein break:

1) Make a cup of your favourite coffee, let it cool down a bit, then put it into a container that pours well and refrigerate it. Whenever you mix up the Kaizen, add a small amount of coffee. This makes for a great mocha beverage.

2) This variant requires more patience, but is well worth it. An hour in advance of consumption, add about a teaspoon of pure cocoa powder and 1/2 sachet of sweetener (or sugar, if you prefer), and mix it with the Kaizen and milk in a shaker cup. Shake it up several times during the hour to make sure all the cocoa is dissolved. This is my current preferred blend, and is truly delicious.

Vanilla

So I picked up a couple 5lb tubs of these guys at the store, because it was AMAZING deal. Anyway, deal or not, I am very happy with my purchases.

Kaizen is a VERY reputable company, so I felt more than OK taking in something that was so "cost-effective." For that, I rate this product high in safety.

One problem I had with this WPI is a problem I have with mist Isolates. It just doesn't have enough thickness or body to be filling enough to make it through to another meal. I could also argue that that small amount of "food" it was, it almost made my stomach prepare for a bigger meal, so I almost became hungrier after drinking it, than I was before. It didn't end up being so bad though, because I only rarely used it as part of a legitimate meal, it more more for workout sessions.

Mixability was great, no problems at all in Blender bottle.

Taste was great. Aroma was that of fresh vanilla baking, and the taste followed suit and had an almond-like notes to it. Not the boldest of flavors though, could have been stronger. Very impressive flavoring system given the price of the product.

The ingredient profile was fantastic. WPI, and a few flavoring ingredients. No unneeded fillers - just the goods:)
