Ascent Native Fuel Micellar Casein Protein Powder - 0.9kg - Chocolate

Let me first start by saying I'm a big fan of Ascent Whey Protein powder and Premiere Protein shakes. I'm very tolerant of most protein powders and drinks, and I like many of them to varying degrees. I decided to try this since it was for sustained recovery. The first time I made it with almond milk and some frozen banana slices (my normal go-to recipe) and mixed with an electric submersion "stick" mixer. I ended up with a pudding that I tried to eat with a spoon. I actually thought I would like this option, but I couldn't handle the taste. I thought maybe I used too many bananas or too much powder or not enough milk. I tried again a day or two later and adjusted my ratios so it was thinner and had fewer frozen banana slices but the taste and texture didn't get any better (of course it was thinner so I could drink it this time though.) I couldn't even finish it. I'm disappointed that I didn't like this so badly that I had to throw it away. I will say that Amazon's customer service was remarkable and refunded my money anyway for this product even though it is non-returnable. 5 stars for Amazon.

High quality protein that tastes good.

This powder dissolves well in my coffee. I don’t notice any altered taste to my coffee. It’s an easy way to get some extra protein into your diet.

Mixes well; mild flavor. I wish it had stronger flavoring

This protein powder seems different than my past orders. It is lighter in color and does not mix well with liquid. This protein powder has always mixed well in the past. It seems like they have changed something and I don’t like it as well.
