Naked Whey is built around one idea: the unflavored version has a single ingredient, grass-fed whey protein, from small non-GMO dairy farms with no rBGH or rBST. Each serving gives 25 g of protein and 5.9 g of BCAAs, and Naked says the whey is cold-processed without acid or bleach. On testing, the page says the contents are certified by NSF for accuracy and purity, including checks for harmful levels of heavy metals and pesticides. That is a strong claim, though it is not the same as the NSF Certified for Sport mark on the Thorne, Momentous and Vega pages. The 5 lb bag holds 76 servings for $139.99 on a one-time order, or $111.99 on autoship, and smaller 2 lb and 1 lb bags cost more per serving. Flavored versions add chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and chocolate peanut butter. The trade-off for the short label is a plain taste and mixing that can need a shaker or blender.
