Healthy 'N Fit 100% Egg Protein -Chocolate 2lb, Lactose Free, Sugar Free, Naturally Sweetened

Received this protein powder today and tried it. Strawberry tastes great and mixes well with water. Found my new egg protein and will continue buying.

I found this to be a good alternative to whey based protein powder. I have only used this product for 30 days and am reordering. Before I get into my review, I might mention that I never thought of myself as whey or lactose intolerant, but after 3 months of taking quality whey protein I knew that what I was experiencing was not typical. (I'm talking about bathroom habits including frequency and consistency). I asked a few older guys in the gym what there experience was with whey, most if not all where fine with it and experienced no problems or side effects. One natural BB that is about my age late 30's suggested this egg based protein product and noted that one of his training customers found it to be an acceptable alternative to the milk based protein products.I did some research and to be honest the manufactures web site for beHealthyNFit is totally useless and outdated with little or no useful information. Their poor web site almost made me not buy this product. It sure didn't invoke any consumer confidence and in my opinion is totally unacceptable.How does it taste? I bought the chocolate (I'm not a chocolate lover but I think chocolate flavoring is the best option for protein powders) The flavor is chocolate but its defiantly not a rich milk chocolate and it wouldn't fall in the same category as a dessert. More of a taste that you can get used to. I have also seen this flavor described as chocolate with a hint metallic. I'd agree with that. It has an after taste that some may find metallic.How does it mix? I mix this with water directly in a 16oz. ready to drink water bottle. I drink 1 or 2 ounces, usually down to the top of the label. Then I place a funnel in the top and dump in one scoop. Usually I will need to shake or tap the funnel to get the powder to pass through. Then I screw the top on and shake well. I have found that if the water is very cold the powder will clump more often and mix poorly. Room temperature water or water that is cool but not ice-cold works best. I use a wine fridge to keep the water at 50.( I don't like clumps) Note: The consistency is exactly like water, if your expecting this to be a thick or heavy drink then will be disappointed.I found that if you live in a humid state like Florida you will need to make sure that you screw the lid to the protein power on tight. If you expose this power to high humidity you will have a terrible time with it clumping and mixing properly.General tips for drinking protein drinks. I have found that eating a granola bar while drinking a protein drink helps. First biting the granola bar then taking a drink. I found this to work for me and it makes the occasional protein clump less noticeable.Is there room for improvement? Yes, loads of room for improvement. Is there anything better? I haven't found it yet but I am still looking. I will give this high marks until I find something better. Please leave a comment if you find a better non whey protein product.

Edit: Upgraded to 5-star. They appear to have changed the recipe, as the last couple containers I have acquired have tasted substantially better! It almost tastes like Swiss Miss cocoa (and while Swiss Miss is not really my idea of great cocoa, for a protein drink mixed with water, that is pretty good!)Summary: This is the best non-whey, non-soy protein I have found, and I would highly recommend it to anyone with soy+whey/dairy sensitivities! I rated this 4 stars, but if you can't have whey, it is definitely a 5-star product.I'm allergic to both whey and soy, which has made finding a good protein supplement quite a pain! I have tried pretty much everything on the market, including a variety of wheat, buckwheat, and brown rice proteins. If you are looking for the highest quality protein available, you are unfortunately limited to egg, soy, whey, or casein (based upon PDCAAS, the FDA and FAO/WHO's method of determining protein quality), so egg is really preferable to the alternatives. Fortunately, this is, in terms of consistency, digestibility, and nutritive content (0 fat 0 carbs), and overall flavor, the best of the various proteins I tried. In case you are wondering, there is no cholesterol in this protein, either. Texture and overall 'drinkability' are great... I drink it mixed with water with no issues. Flavor is decent: obviously, none of us are drinking protein powder expecting a gourmet flavor extravaganza. This protein is decently tasty if you like chocolate (not as good as most whey/casein proteins, but better than almost all non-whey proteins... I tried quite a few of those as well before discovering that I could not tolerate dairy proteins). Be warned: the vanilla version of this product tastes terrible. In my opinion, it is barely drinkable.Four stars overall. If I had no food sensitivities, I might still use this in conjunction with whey protein, but would probably not use it exclusively.Five stars if you can't have whey protein!I hope that this review is helpful!

In my opinion, this is the best protein powder out there.I've used a lot of different protein products, from Dymatize to Optimum Nutrition (Gold Standard) and CellTech (MuscleTech), BSN, many others as well. The reason that I tried this one is because I've been doing a lot of research, talking with my doctor and nutritionists regarding the subject of protein and protein suppliments in general. The conclusion that I have come to is that the whey products are ok, but they are not the magic dust that everyone thinks it is. Sure it is good, and the protein is not bad, but it can be better.For those who have issues with dairy, whey is not an option. Whey is a dairy product, and actually a bi-product of diary production. Dairy is not the best choice of protein out there, many may disagree with this but it is a fact. America has an infatuation with dairy and sweets. If you look at any tables that show protein absorbtion effeciency in our bodies you will see this fact. Eggs and Fish are rated at the top for best absorbtion and usage in the human body. Eggs are around 88% effeciency, while fish is around 70% and chicken around 60%. Whey and dairy are below all of these, this is precisely why whey is so cheap, and that is why it is so popular. Sure the egg protein is going to be more expensive, but it is a better product.As far as taste and texture, I find it just as good as the whey products that I have used, and even better then some. I've tried some whey powders that were just aweful. I have a 5lb tub of "Metabolic" whey that I tried, it is still sitting in the back room.
