• As you would guess, I use Whey Protein Isolate every single day (sometimes 2x’ per day) & use one of, if not the best Whey Protein brands on planet earth. Because of that, I am never optimistic with other brands especially new ones, but willing to try, so when..
***** I was given/offered this LEGION Whey+ - Best Whey Protein Powder for Weight Loss, All Natural Whey Protein Isolate, Lactose Free Whey Protein, Best Bodybuilding Whey Protein Powder Isolate - French Vanilla, 30 Svgs, 1.8 lbs as a promotion/discount in exchange for my HONEST and UNBIASED review, I agreed, but trust me I do NOT give good reviews & high ratings if the product is not deserving like many reviewers do just to continue to get free/discounted product!!!! *****
• So you want to know why Whey Protein more specifically, Whey Isolate is extremely important, should you be using it &/or is this a good product/Brand? Well let me break this down a bit in hopes I can teach you something you may not have known and help you with your buying decision.
————————————————————— Product Information: —————————————————————
• Whey Isolate - it's important to realize that not all forms of whey protein powder are created equally. Whey protein isolate is the most complete forms of protein because it contains the greatest protein concentration coming in at 90-95%, while the rest of the whey protein powders range from 25-89% total protein content. Isolate contains the lowest level of lactose, so perfect for anyone that is lactose intolerant. Benefits of Whey Protein include: helps support a healthy immune system, supports heart health, helps with maintaining a healthy body weight & composition, promotes muscle growth, loss of body fat, reduces the risk for breast cancer in women, helps control blood glucose levels & helps prevent muscle & bone loss older adults. Whey Protein, more specifically Whey Isolate is extremely important, for those reasons. Remember that protein is the building blocks of muscle. If you are dieting or looking to bulk up, Whey protein is your best friend because it provides your body with all of the amino acids it needs to promote ideal health results from workout/training, it's low in calories, carbohydrates, fats, cholesterol & very convenient. The more protein you eat the more muscle & if you are dieting you will be able to keep more muscle.
• Why Whey isolate over a Whey concentrate? Whey concentrates are about 80% protein and are the most economical per gram of protein. Most people buy whey concentrates. The remaining 20% is junk you are adding to your body such as FAT!!! Now, Whey isolates are about 90%-95% protein, making them even lower in fat, carbs and lactose. Whey isolates tend to have a slightly cleaner taste, a more watery consistency, and are more expensive than whey concentrates.
—————————---------———————————— PROS: ———-----————————————————————
• This is 100% Whey Protein isolated.
• I was offered the French Vanilla, which taste really good.
• 4 flavors to chose from.
• I purchased the 1.8LB but they also have a 5lb available.
• I always make my shakes in a blender so mixability isn’t an issue for me but for the sake of this review, I mixed 2 scoops in a shaker cup with 8oz of Almond Milk & the mixablity was very good, which leads me to my next pro..
• This is absolutely 100% instantized!
• Did NOT bother my stomach whatsoever, so has Digestive Enzymes which is extremely important for me. I have used this several times now & not once has my stomach been all jerked up!
• This is Ultra-Filtered & any top of the line Whey would make sure the Whey is carefully micro-filtered or Ultra-Filtered to remove any harmful bacteria. The Whey will pass through a special micro-filter & immediately after, bacteria & spores are separated. This process also separates any denatured (altered/cooked) whey proteins from undenatured proteins so that the result is a high quality whey protein rich in alpha-lactalbumin and beta-lactoglobulin (two special proteins found in whey that have immunological benefits) and low in fat. Un-denatured whey proteins obtained in this manner also have better solubility, which means it dissolves easily in any fluid added to it.
• 22g of protein per scoop which is a the standard amount.
• 2g of carbohydrates which is VERY low.
• I spoke to an associate at Legion & I found out they get their Whey from Glanbia is the #1 global nutrition company.
• Hormone free.
• Pesticide free.
• NON GMO.
• Gluten free.
• Sugar free & No Sweetener (Uses Stevia).
• Made right here in the good old USA for those who want & try to support this country.
————————————————————— CONS: —————————————————————
• They do not list down the Whey protein micro-fractions & do not even list the breakdown of any of the nutrients! Why do I think this this important? As many of you know, I am not a fan of supplement companies not fully disclosing ALL their nutrients or listing them as a proprietary blend. I want to know exactly what I am putting into my body as should you! With that said, Whey protein is not one single protein, it is several different types. During the process of making a bucket of way, a lot of protein can be denatured which means it could lose a lot of different types of proteins
—————————————---———————-— Final Assessment: ——————--———————————--————
• So I am extremely impressed with this “Legion Whey Protein Powder”!!! They hit a home run with this product. The PROS I listed are amazing, to say the least & the CONS I listed are really no big deal-breakers at all! I am really did enjoy the taste of this french Vanilla.
• I mentioned at the top of this review, I use and have used the best brand & I have to say, I still will never stray BUT, I will definitely add this one to my purchase list when I want to change things up.… it is that good & I NEVER said this about any others Whey Protein Brands & i’ve had some good ones.
—————————————---———————-— Personal Note: —————————————---———————-—
• Buying a respectable brand is actually extremely important because many companies are selling a container of Whey Protein Concentrate as isolate & unless you ran a analysis on it or really know your proteins, you probably wouldn't even know you were using a cheap form of WPC until you started gaining body fat, started feeling bloated, getting gas, etc., and not getting the results you wanted from using this stuff. You would be surprised at how many companies do this! I 100% recommend this LEGION Whey+ - Best Whey Protein Powder for Weight Loss, All Natural Whey Protein Isolate, Lactose Free Whey Protein, Best Bodybuilding Whey Protein Powder Isolate - French Vanilla, 30 Svgs, 1.8 lbs

I 100% recommend this [[ASIN:B00KWL6GNW LEGION Whey+ - Best Whey Protein Powder for Weight Loss, All Natural Whey Protein Isolate, Lactose Free Whey Protein, Best Bodybuilding Whey Protein Powder Isolate - French Vanilla, 30 Svgs, 1.8 lbs]]
I usually mix protein powders into smoothies or overnight oats. Rarely have I found one that tastes good on its own. I had high hopes because this brand has been recommended. It does mix well, and doesn’t have a weird smell or aftertaste. But it is extremely sweet, directions say to mix with 8-10oz of liquid, I would double that. The banana bread flavor was a risk, I normally stick to chocolate or vanilla. It’s not awful, but it does have a strong almost chemical banana flavor and cinnamon.
1) It mixes exceptionally well with cold water with no noticeable clumping. I'm almost done with my first 2-pound tub and never experienced any of this. Clumping is not a big deal at all, but it's definitely one less thing to be annoyed about after working out.
2) Some people voice their concerns/complaints regarding the use of stevia, but I don't think it's a big deal--in fact, I like it a lot. The strawberry banana flavor I got was a tad sweeter than other whey products I've used in the past, but I got used to it very quickly. Also, the sweetness isn't as 'in-your-face' as ones that use sucralose or ace-k in my opinion. There were a couple instances where I experienced extreme bitter aftertaste. This isn't unheard of with stevia extracts, but it only happened when I left the powder in my shaker cup that wasn't fully dried. Your mileage may vary, of course, but if you keep the powder in a cool and dry place I don't foresee anyone encountering the same situation.
3) The fact that these guys managed to make strawberry banana flavor taste like milkshake is still a mystery to me. I've always thought that any whey protein flavor other than chocolate is terrible, but this totally changed my mind. It was a gamble for sure, but one that paid off well.
I'd like to clarify that I have not been paid nor received any product discount for this review. My experience with Legion has been very pleasant so far, and their products are excellent. Would buy again.

It is easy to blend, incorporates well to the liquid. Smells great!
The one negative is that it's very expensive, but personally I'd rather pay more knowing I'm getting quality.
Well done Michael and then Legion team!
I’ve tried many of the flavors. The salted caramel and birthday cake are good (both were repurchased). I’m currently using the cinnamon cereal flavor and it’s delicious — possibly my favorite flavor. I’d repurchase. Chocolate was also decent.
I should mention that Legion has the best customer service around. For that reason alone, I’ve repurchased from them many times.
