Received the product opened and resealed with plastic tape

Received the product unsealed with tape on

I dont like posting reviews especially bad ones but I saw a previous review with similar contamination. I can't tell if this seal was put on the bottle with heat and that's what this is or mold forming I was hoping to use this product tonight but I'm really not sure about it at all now

Tastes pretty good. I usually hate stevia, and the dream would be an unflavored casein; but this was pretty yummy. After hearing that Dr Bill Campbell consumed casein with his breakfast to keep full, I was curious. I tried it and it worked well. It’s a pleasure to drink. No bad aftertaste. If you’re like me and you like the feeling of being full, this is amazing. Strongly recommended.

Honestly I read every review basically.. I had my doubts but decided to go with the side that liked it, I got the vanilla. I tried it for the first time today. The bag was a bit difficult to open like others claimed but I managed with scissors. It smelled amazing. I made two servings for my husband and I - one serving(scoop) with milk and the other serving (scoop) with water combined them and blended in my vitamix together with frozen strawberries and some ice. It was actually super delicious and it blended very well. I really liked it!! Not clumpy like people said but I also used a blender. I would recommend and buy again! Got the vanilla so I could add different frozen fruit.

Let's start by being upfront about casein protein: It's weird. It has a unique consistency and doesn't mix as nicely as whey in water. That said, you can't beat the Legion Casein protein. My previous experience was with a banana flavor from a different company (rhymes with Shmoptimum Bluetrition) that left me feeling very uneasy about using casein as a supplement. The taste was VERY artificial and chemically. It was nearly impossible to get into solution without a blender and had a very chalky consistency. What I liked was that after dinner and before bed I could have casein as a snack without resorting to high-sugar treats. When the banana stuff ran out, I looked to see what else was available and found the legion protein. I think this stuff is leaps and bounds ahead of the other brand. First, the flavor is a mild chocolate, like a baker's chocolate and gives you the feeling you're eating real food, not a lab product. Second, the consistency is much better than others. It easily goes into solution in a normal blender bottle with a few shakes. Last, you get a great full feeling without any stomach distress or night farts (which is good unless you have a fondness for dutch ovens). If I could, I rate the product at 4.5 stars because the scoops of protein are so large that it's tricky not to spill when retrieving from the bottle and it does require at least 10-12 oz water. That said, I'll be buying again in the future.

Mix 1 scoop with a serving of plain whole milk or 2% Greek yogurt, and it turns into a vanilla cheesecake competitor for dessert with no guilt or extra calories from sugar or fat. Just the right amount of sweetness. Great quality, consistency, and texture for my purpose. Blends well with coffee as well.
