I knew I would love this product there is nothing that this company has made that I do not approve of. I love the smell of the vanilla as soon as you open the canister lid the smell of vanilla is so strong and good and it tastes so good. I thought it would have an aftertaste because it has the stevia in it but there is no aftertaste I enjoy drinking it for the first time in my life I have literally enjoyed drinking a shape that I make at home finally oh I am definitely sticking with this and my husband loves it too

It’s been a few YEARS since I’ve gotten whey protein. I think 2013 was the last time I got whey and it was the natural Whey from Optimum nutrition. My friend got me paranoid about non organic whey and over the years, I didn’t know which brand to consider when getting organic whey, and all the brands were very expensive for the content. Besides, I felt eating quality meals or getting some organic, raw Whole or skim milk could be sufficient enough to substitute for Whey protein. Still, I just discovered this stuff 3-4 months ago, and have been using it ever since. It’s very light on the stomach. Meaning, I drank 2 Scoops, yesterday after my gym visit and It wasn’t thick nor heavy. 2 scoops and not much water. I’ve found when mixing, to use very minimal fluid. The more fluid, the more foam. If you’re using 1 scoop, use less than 4 ounces of fluid. Shake it for a few seconds and check to see the consistency. Two scoops, less than 12 ounces of fluid. This stuff is very light, and the liquid form seems very runny, not thick. I guess that means less fluid if you want it to be slightly thicker. I’m not sure if it helps my sore muscles heal faster, but it says bcaa’s and glutamine and I like that. If you can trust the label, then those are great levels of both bcaas and glutamine per serving. Before this powder, I’d get the garden of life raw meal. But with that, the levels of bcaas and glutamine were more vague. With this powder, the levels are on the front of the package. Still, I like the raw meal being dense with organic fruits and vegetables and FIBER! But plant protein digests differently than animal and again, the levels of bcaas and glutamine are vague with raw meal. Anyway, a “bottle” of this powder lasts me about 2-3 weeks. I only take on days I workout and if my muscles are still very sore. It doesn’t satisfy hunger, but it’s whey protein which is fast burning. Anyway, I like it. And you have to check prices because some places are under $40, and others are over $40. It’s nice to get a quality whey like this. That is, if you can trust everything on the label about the quality. Another questionable thing about plant protein is lead content. Animal protein doesn’t have that, I don’t think. This review is long enough. I like the product.

After reading many reviews and researching a lot of protein powders, I selected this product in chocolate. I have had Muscle Milk, GNC, and many other protein powders all in chocolate. I believe this flavor has the best taste. I am a milkshake kind of guy and regular drink one with my young son. I think this protein powder with a mix of water has a taste between a frothy chocolate milk and a regular chocolate milkshake. This protein powder definitely has a lot of health to it and has a great ratio.

It’s always hard to find quality and good tasting whey. I love that it’s Certified Grass Fed Clean Whey and Protein Isolate. Has not bothered my stomach at all! Dissolved super easy. Smells good.
I’ve tried with 6oz, 8oz and 12 oz of water for 1 scoop and they each are good, just depends on what flavor you enjoy.
I’ve only used it in a shaker cup which has been perfect.

This is my base ingredient for a healthy bfast shake. I usually add a full heaping scoop to 1 T nuts, a 1/2c fruit, almond milk 1/2c, coconut milk 1/2c, 1T finely ground chia seed, 1 T monkfruit sugar

I’m currently on the Noom plan and was looking to incorporate more green foods (eat as much as you want), since my other pea protein powder that was also from Garden of Life, was actually categorized as a red food (limit). This is in fact a “green” food. I’m glad I found this. It’s delicious and makes my smoothies fluffier and thicker. The vanilla taste to me is like strawberries, although I do add mixed berries to the blender, but not strawberries funny enough. I really like this powder and can myself buying another tub when I’m done with this one. I’ve been pretty strict on my protein powders in past and make sure to look at all the ingredients before purchasing so that I can get as “clean” a powder as possible. This does the trick! I recommend.

I love this stuff!!! I’m so glad I found it. I needed a powder that had more lysine than Arginine, which is harder to find than you think.. but still be non-gmo, plant based, etc. this is the best protein powder I’ve ever tried and I will continue to use this until they stop making it.

I have never been a fan of protein powders and every single one I had tried tasted terrible in my opinion. Even if I added it to with other ingredients. There was always this powdery disgusting artificial flavor going on. So I gave up on protein powders…. until this one. My husband doesn’t mind protein powders and when they were out of his usual he bought this one. I gave it a try and was instantly hooked. It is by far the best protein powder I have tasted. Granted I only drink this in protein shakes. My recipe is simple but oh so delicious! Ice, milk, raw cacao powder,1 scoop of this with some espresso or decaf espresso (if you’re like me and breastfeeding). Unbelievable! I have one at least a day and has helped me immensely curb my sweet tooth and get back in shape. So I highly recommend it!

Love the way this tastes in smoothies! By itself, just mixing in a shaker bottle also tastes just as good. I love the way it makes smoothies fluffy though and gives it just enough sweetness. Since they got bought out by Nestle can not comment about ingredients since I have not done my research on that yet.

I’ve probably tried 30-40 different brands of protein shakes over the past 30 years. The ones with the best ingredients normally have at least a bit of that “vitamin” taste – or they’re gritty – or watery… I was pleasantly surprised when I tasted this one. Absolutely delicious! I love the clean, quality ingredients. Plain or with some of my garden fresh berries it makes a delicious, quick breakfast or snack.

I’ve tried vanilla and chocolate, and I actually prefer vanilla much more, and so does my husband. The flavoring is the best I’ve tried, and I’ve tried probably about 15 protein powders. It’s important for me to have grass fed whey protein because if the cows are fed grains, it’s not clean. I like that it’s sweetened with erythritol, which is also a clean sweetener that tastes WAY better than just straight up stevia alone. The macros on this are great, low carb, no fat, and high protein.

I suffer from MIGRAINES with AURORAS. Any time I eat dairy, avocado, chocolate, or any food with XANTHAN GUM, or GUAR GUM. I get a massive migraine, yes, with vomiting included. Definitely toxic, definitely an alergy. Horrible. I’ve had the plant based protein and it works great also. However, I wanted whey isolate protein since it’s preferable when having any type of work out regimen for muscle growth and recovery. I FOUND THE PERFECT FIT! NO MIGRAINES, NO NOT ONE. I’m on my fourth purchase of this product, and I definitely RECO for anyone that suffers from MIGRAINES. Hope you find the right fit for you. Consider it.

This protein powder is delicious! I’m very picky when it comes to a good quality protein powder that tastes good. This powder is not very sweet which is what I like. It says to mix one scoop with 8oz of water, but I think that’s too much liquid so I do half almond milk half water, add in some ice and maybe some spinach and it’s a great post-workout drink. I believe it is well worth it for the price.

This is an amazing product!! I was a little afraid to order because I saw the reviews about flavor, but decided to give it a try after my doctor strongly recommended this brand. I got the chocolate one and I think it tastes amazing with vanilla almond milk. I’m very happy with it. I’m about to order my second bottle!

My husband is the one who drinks this protein. He loves the grass fed whey over the plant based. Ive tasted it as well and it is very smooth and not gritty whatsoever. It mixes well with almond milk and water. He also puts it in his overnight oats for additional protein and it absorbs well in the oats and you can’t even tell there is protein powder in it. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a grass fed whey protein that mixes well and is not gritty and has great flavor.
