NAKED Cherry Lime BCAAs Amino Acids Powder, 100% Pure 2:1:1 Formula, Vegan Branched Chain Amino Acids, Instantized All Natural BCAA Powder Supplement - 501 Grams, 34 Servings

So I've been buying flavored BCAAs from other brands but got to the point where I can hardly choke them down. Artificial flavors and stevia etc really gross me out. I thought surely the plain ones would be vile because those artificial flavors are SO strong -- they must be covering something up? And yes, I read reviews about how impossible the plain ones are to choke down. Anyway, I was prepared... I mixed my first dose with a couple ounces each of lemon juice and ginger juice, then chased it with the recommended 10 oz water. It was fine and I didn't taste anything but juice. (I love lemon and ginger and could chug either one straight.) Today I tried it plain in water. Also fine. Yes there's a bitter flavor, but it's not too bad. Halfway through it got just a little unpleasant and I mixed in some lemon juice. That was perfect. What else can I say? It mixes great.

The NAKED Strawberry Lemonade BCAAs have been a great addition to my workout routine. I bought it because I wanted a clean BCAA formula without artificial sweeteners, dyes or unnecessary fillers, and this one checks every box. It’s literally just what you need and nothing extra. The flavor surprised me in a good way. Strawberry lemonade tastes refreshing, not overly sweet, and mixes instantly with no clumping. It’s easy to sip during workouts and doesn’t leave any weird aftertaste. I’ve noticed better recovery and less soreness on the days I take it, especially after heavy training. It also feels lighter on my stomach compared to other BCAAs I’ve tried in the past. If you’re looking for a natural, clean BCAA powder that actually tastes good and supports recovery, this is a solid choice. I’ll definitely keep it in my routine.

It is what is it. It’s BCAA powder. I tried it in shakes about 3 times, and the pure form taste of it, I couldn’t stomach it. It definitely has a vitaminy chalk after taste, even in smoothies, shakes, yogurt, etc… it’s all I could taste and it made me sick to only taste that. If you like that taste or are limited to what TYPE of BCAA (not flavored) you have to go with, this brand is good and has quality. I guess pure form of things tastes like that. I need a recipe book on how to not taste it.

Ok folks, so I've seen people review this complaining about the smell etc. To such comments it seems there seems to be a double standard - they want it to be 'naked', but then when naked isn't covered up they aren't happy with what 'naked' means. I agree that the product does not smell good, but I simply choose not to smell it - I hold my breath, open the container, add it to my drink shaker, put the lid back on, shake it up, drink it, rinse the shaker out and breath again - takes all of about 15 seconds & don't even smell it on my breath after drinking it. It has an unusual - although not bad after taste for a moment. After that I make a protein shake and don't think I taste any after taste after that. Anyway, if you want pure at least they appear to be true to their word, and I use it after my workouts without problem. Seems to be a good product. Happy workouts - 4/5 stars due to the ordor, but maybe it should be 5 since I'm getting exactly what I asked for without cover up.

Been putting this into my morning coffee after a run. Seems to help recharge my energy and muscle maintenance. It's a bit bitter, which would increase the bitterness of black coffee, but is fine with cream and stevia or maple syrup. It mixes in easily, and seems to be good quality.

I purchased the unflavored one. It is absolutely disgusting. It taste like you threw up in your mouth a little. No joke! I've tried mixing it in strong flavored drinks to mask the taste and NOTHING works. I don't know if it is actually a good supplement because I haven't been able to finish drink.

I have ordered this many many times! Great tasting product! I drink it during my workout.

I think this stuff works? I have no idea, you can read other reviews for that. I'm here to share how to drink it. This stuff really is difficult to drink with plain water, but I don't want to mix it with other things I don't want. I tried the pre-flavored powders and they're almost worse. So before workouts I make this mix in a water bottle and it's perfect at cutting the taste: 1 squirt of lime juice from one of those plastic limes 1 squirt of agave Shake, drink It's really simple and doesn't add a ton of sugar or calories.

Very good project , I’m happy with it

This stuff really helps during and after work outs. I just put a scoop in a water bottle and shake. I dont mind the taste at all! Kind of makes my water taste cleaner. I also add it to smoothies here and there and there is no taste when doing that. Would recommend for high level athletes who dont want an extra crap in their hydration beverage. I will re-buy.

Tbh this smells like any aminos, smells absolutely horrible and tastes bad if you drink it with a small amount of water, this is expected with such clean ingredients. Nonetheless you can put it in shakes with no issues.. clean and effective - taste is something you will have to get used to.

It was absolutely disgusting but I can see why its best for you because like buckleys it's best but does not tastes good. Recommend for the health benefits 👌

Prefer product and good quality.
