Top 5 Whey Protein Powders for Weight Loss in 2017

Today’s review we are going to focus on the Top 5 Whey Protein Powders for losing weight. We are going to be focusing on Whey, Whey Isolate and Hydrolyzed Whey proteins.

So, let’s get right into the Best whey protein powders for losing weight.

First of one of our favorite. Naked Whey, Grass Fed Whey Protein Powder.

This one defiantly ranks among our top picks of protein powder’s due to the fact of that it is a Grass Fed Whey protein, with only 1 ingredient, and that is Whey Protein Concentrate.Let’s jump into some more details of this protein.

Grass Fed Whey Protein comes from a 100% grass-fed diet. The milk non-GMO, with no rBGH or rBST, and non-denatured. The resulting whey protein is soy free. They use a careful manufacturing processes to create a non-denatured whey loaded with essential amino acids, glutathione, and clean protein. Naked Whey isn’t dressed up with additives like artificial flavors or sweeteners like most brands, they are committed to shortening the steps between our farms and you.

Now let’s move along to our next contender, which is going to be Designer Whey 25g Grass-Fed Whey Advanced Protein.

We ranked this protein our number two in this review of Protein Powders because this one is actually a good alternative to the Naked brand, it’s ingredients is a bit larger but still very understandable for anyone to read and know what they pack inside. Also this protein is a mix of Whey Protein Concentrate and Whey Protein Isolate, not a deal breaker at all for us, but we did wanted to point this out in our Protein Review.

Of course no review would be complete without having the mention of Optimum Nutrition’s Gold Standard Whey Protein! I think most of you have heard about this and you see it a lot in many places online or local stores. These guys have built themselves a real big and prominent name in the supplement industry, Also not to mention, this protein comes in a BIG list of flavors, your bound to find your flavor that you enjoy the most! But one thing we do not like as much about this protein is that it’s flavored with artificial flavors as well as natural flavors.

Optimum Nutrition 100% Gold Whey Protein is made with Whey Protein Isolates which are the purest form of whey protein that currently exists. WPIs are costly to use, but rate among the best proteins out there. That's why they're the first ingredient you read on their label. By using WPI as the primary ingredient along with premium ultra-filtered whey protein concentrate, they are able to pack 24 grams of protein into every serving to support your muscle building needs after training. This quality powder has been instantized to mix easily using a shaker cup or just a glass and spoon. There's no doubt that this is the standard by which all other whey proteins are measured.

Highlighted Facts:

  • Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) Main Ingredient

  • Whey Protein Microfractions from Whey Protein Isolates & Ultra-Filtered Whey Protein Concentrate

  • Over 4 Grams of Glutamine & Glutamic Acid in Each Serving

  • More Than 5 Grams of the Naturally Occurring Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine in Each Serving

  • The "Gold Standard" for Protein Quality

 

Next up we have Ascent. Many of you might have not heard of this company just yet, but they are going to be gaining some real traction in the fitness world with their protein powder.

They use something called native whey, which is - simply put - the new benchmark in protein purity. Native whey is the least-processed protein available today because it's filtered directly from high-quality milk. It also contains higher levels of naturally occurring leucine, a key amino acid for stimulating muscle protein synthesis.

They are able to do this because, unlike most companies, they don't buy any of their proteins. As they claim, “We make our own protein - and we've been doing it for over 30 years.” They go out and buy the milk from trusted dairy farmers and then filter the proteins in their own facilities. No artificial ingredients are used and avoid harmful steps like "bleaching". It's not the easiest way to do it, but as you know, real results don't come from easy.

Highlighted Facts:

  • Made with native whey, the least-processed whey protein available today

  • Zero artificial ingredients

  • Rapidly digesting protein - perfect for taking after your workout

  • 25g protein per scoop,

  • 5.7g of naturally occurring BCAAs

  • A clean, minimal ingredient panel

  • Certified Gluten Free and Informed Choice Certified, sweetened with Monk Fruit.

 

Last but defiantly not least, is Garden Of Life Sport Certified Grass Fed Clean Whey Protein Isolate.

Garden of Life did an outstanding job in making this protein, they took out most of the unnecessary ingredients and kept it very clean simple and beneficial,

Although many whey protein products may call themselves “grass fed,” almost all dairy farms still used animal feed full of soy, corn and GMOs. Why? Typically, there are too many cows to feed year-round on grass. Ultimately they ended in Ireland with a coop of 4,800 generational family farmers whose herds feed only in green pastures.

Highlighted Facts:

  • rBST, rBGH and antibiotic free, un-denatured, cold-processed, micro-filtered, Non-GMO Project Verified and BSE free

  • Sustainable Irish family farms with small herds producing half the average global carbon footprint

  • Cows live in their natural outdoor habitat, roaming and feeding in green pastures

  • Ireland’s unique climate provides lush, nutritious grass all year round

Premium quality, clean Certified Grass Fed Whey is not only free of hormones and antibiotics, but we are also very proud to have the ONLY Non- GMO Project Verified Whey. You can rest assured there are no athletic banned substances in this clean whey protein.

One serving delivers 24g complete protein from whey protein isolate as the primary source with some milk protein added to provide some of the beneficial components found only in whole milk, such as immunoglobulins and beneficial growth factors. Their Whey delivers all the essential amino acids, and provides 6g BCAA and 4g glutamine. Lastly they have added 2 billion CFU of the clinically studied probiotic B.lactis BL-04 which has been shown to support immune health during intensive workouts.

I hope you got some good information out of this review and hopefully you will be able to deceid with what protein you will ultimately go with. We are not going to say what the “Best” or “Top” rated protein is in this list as we feel like they are all outstanding products with great benefits for you in your weight loss journey.
