Iron-Tek Natuarl whey protein: Vanilla Cake
http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/iron/protein.html

I thought about how much sucralose I was taking in so I decided to find a natural protein for pwo and bfast when I am in a rush. I tried the choc flavor and it was the best choc flavor protein I have ever tried.

I picked up a 5lb vanilla for shakes and such. I like vanilla proteins and what you can mix them in so i kept my fingers crossed with this one because I have had some pretty bad vanillas and the thought of a natural protein made me think it was going to be pretty bad.

Great macros and no sweeteners! I like the added milk protein and even if its not alot thats why I mix it in greek yogurt or add casein. I also hear that Iron-Tek is a respectable company so another plus.

Taste:
The lable says vanilla cake but its not vanilla cake. I had a bit of powder when I got it and the first thing that came to mind was a vanilla cone from DQ or McDonalds, sweet and creamy. My next test was in my pwo shake that seems to eat the taste of any whey protein I put in it. To my suprise the creamy sweet taste was very present in my shake and it was delicious.

Overall:
This is by far the best tasting Vanilla protein I have ever tried and at $40 for 5lbs I just found my new staple protein. I would def reccomend this protein to anybody.
Nice work Iron-Tek!
