Our verdict

Legion Whey+ is one of the most credible naturally sweetened whey isolates, pairing certified grass-fed sourcing with public lab testing. You get slightly less protein per scoop than some rivals and pay a premium, but for buyers avoiding artificial sweeteners who want proof of what is in the bag, it is an easy recommendation.

Best for

  • People avoiding artificial sweeteners and dyes
  • Shoppers who want verified grass-fed sourcing
  • Buyers who like checking lab reports

Skip it if

  • Drug-tested athletes who need NSF or Informed certification
  • People sensitive to the taste of stevia
  • Budget shoppers

Our review

Legion Whey+ is built for shoppers who care about sourcing and sweeteners as much as macros. It uses whey protein isolate from Irish milk certified under the Truly Grass Fed program, which the brand highlights because grass-fed dairy claims have no legal definition in the US. Flavored versions rely on stevia and other natural sweeteners rather than sucralose or acesulfame potassium, and there are no artificial dyes.

A serving provides 21 to 23 g of protein and 100 to 130 calories depending on flavor, with no added sugar; Dutch Chocolate is listed at 23 g of protein and 100 calories. That is a few grams less per scoop than Dymatize ISO100 or Transparent Labs, but still within the range research associates with a meaningful muscle protein synthesis response. The brand lists 5.6 g of BCAAs per serving.

Transparency is a strength. Legion says each batch is analyzed by an ISO 17025-accredited lab, current certificates of analysis are linked on the product page, and the product is certified by Labdoor. NSF's dietary supplement listings also show the Dutch Chocolate and French Vanilla flavors as certified to NSF/ANSI 173 for label accuracy and contaminants, though the product is not in the NSF Certified for Sport or Informed Choice programs.

On Amazon the Chocolate bag averages 4.3 stars; buyers praise the taste, smooth mixing in water and easy digestion, while price is the most common complaint. It costs about $2.06 per serving at typical retail prices, and the brand's $69.99 list price for 30 servings was discounted to $48.99 when we checked. On TikTok Shop, the official listing has sold more than 7,600 units.

Questions buyers ask

What does Truly Grass Fed certification mean?
Truly Grass Fed is an Irish dairy program that, according to Legion, requires cows to eat a diet of about 95% grass and spend around 250 days a year on pasture, with independent inspectors verifying compliance. It speaks to sourcing and farming practices rather than muscle-building performance, which depends mainly on protein and leucine content.
Is Legion Whey+ tested for banned substances?
Legion says each batch is analyzed by an ISO 17025-accredited lab and that Labdoor certifies it free of contaminants and banned substances. NSF also lists the Dutch Chocolate and French Vanilla flavors as contents-certified. It is not in the NSF Certified for Sport or Informed Choice programs, which some leagues and drug-tested athletes require.
How much protein is in a scoop of Whey+?
It varies slightly by flavor. The brand lists 21 to 23 g of protein and 100 to 130 calories per serving across its flavors, with Dutch Chocolate at 23 g and 100 calories. Carbohydrates range from about 2 to 6 g, and all flavors are listed with no added sugars.
