   I use the NOW brand unflavored whey isolate to bump my protein up around 90g/d and love a scoop of that with a little (like 1/2t) sugar in milk.

   I got the NOW unflavored Micellar Casein on my PCP’s recommendation to help with sleep. Holy moly not the same as whey at all; it thickens much more than whey in milk and I wind up cutting in water and no amount of sugar improves what I think of as a kind of powdered milk flavor. I am not sure it’s helping with sleep as I’m just about halfway through the tub, but I will say that I am oddly hungry in the morning. Maybe it’s a little reflux drinking too close to bed? I dunno, but their whey is outstanding.

   I use this in my protein oatmeal, protein pancakes and protein ice cream. It’s ridiculously filling and has really helped me stay within my calorie allotment. Nothing can do that for me the way casein does except for maybe chicken breast.
   I also add about a half teaspoon to my coffee with a splash of 1% milk, and the coffee becomes very creamy and light colored. No need for whole milk or half and half! I mix with whey protein sometimes too, but the casein is incomparable for imparting a creamy texture and pale color while filling you up for hours. I wouldn’t use it by itself as a shake, because it has kind of a weird overly milky flavor (hard to explain) when all you’re tasting is the casein. In that case, add in some whey to balance the flavor.
   I prefer something like this without all the additives of the typical protein powders. I always add what I want to it anyway: stevia, salt, flavorings, sometimes even xanthan gum. I prefer to do it my way, and it’s cheaper that way too.

   I’m not knocking the value of a good casein protein powder. It sure does its job. However, I have to say that the taste is just horrible, cringe-inducing. It’s not “unflavored” at all. I have another NOW unflavored powder that is, in fact, unflavored; however, this Micellar Casein is not that. I try to mask it by adding Stevia drops but mostly I’m avoiding using it.

   This is a great protein from a good GMP reputable company. There are some low ratings due to the taste and consistency of the product. The taste in perfectly fine. This is in unflavored which i prefer, I do not want all the junk sweeteners and flavors added in the the protein powder. If i want it to have flavor, i will add my own flavor. As far as the consistency is concerned , this is Micellar Casein which is always thicker in consistency. It is different consistency than Whey and, is a slower time release. I will definitely be purchasing this again

   This stuff tastes seriously rotten. I taste tested next to another brand, and no I’m not sensitive. Literally smells like burning hair, and tastes horrible and spoiled.

   Is it casein? Probably, technically! But unless you are sprinkling this in your garden or decorating clay sculptures with this crap I don’t recommend it!

   Wish I didn’t buy this, there is no way to get a refund and it is probably not safe for consumption. Protein powders have gone up in price a LOT so this was tempting but I don’t recommend that you make the same mistake as I did. But you probably will and then will read this and be like man I am stupid! Now we can be friends.
