Vital Proteins, Vital Performance Protein, Vanilla, 1.68 lbs (761 g)

The taste caught me off guard with how natural, smooth, and not to sweet it is. Most protein powders I've had before are either too sweet or just taste really off. As someone who is lactose intolerant and also allergic to different vegetables typically found in vegan protein powders, this is the perfect combo of still being an animal-based product with the robust amino acid profile of whey protein, without giving me stomach issues. I first tried optimum nutrition's protein whey powder, but that is basically how I discovered I was lactose intolerant as it gave me loose stools anytime I was consuming it. I tried a vegan protein powder and found I was allergic to a few of the ingredients as it would cause me to sneeze and get a sore throat, also the taste was pretty unbearable and made me stop drinking protein shakes for a while. So, this protein powder came in like a godsend! Just buy it, I was skeptical since it doesn't have more than 5k reviews, but it really is the hidden holy grail of protein powders out there.

I used it blended in a simple frozen fruit, Greek yogurt and almond milk smoothie, and was very pleased with the results. I read in other reviews that the container was difficult to open - I did not experience that issue. The plastic "zip" around the lid came off easily. When I opened the container, I thought the vanilla scent was great, it just smelled vanilla-y. It blended fine in my smoothie, there was no clumping or grittiness, and the flavor complemented the other smoothie ingredients well. I usually read the worst reviews first, but I'm glad that I made this purchase, and I didn't experience and of the issues described in the negative reviews.

Dissolves easily and taste is very good!

I've always heard how good collagen is for your health. But I didn't want to add another supplement to my regimen. I found this product a while back and purchased it multiple times now. The flavor is great and does not taste very strong or artificial. It mixes well with just water or milk or in a smoothie. The protein level is pretty standard, and the added collagen is great. I would definitively buy this even more times.

Literally the best tasting. So good. Does it still taste like chalk? A little- all protein powder has that taste to some degree but this one is actually delicious. My son drinks it because he’s tried to put on some weight and after a month, he’s gained 6 pounds. I consider that a success!
