Bluebonnet Nutrition Whey Protein Isolate Powder - Vanilla Flavor, 1 lb (14 Servings) | High-Quality Protein Supplement for Muscle Recovery, Weight Loss & Fitness Goals | Perfect for Post-Workout Shakes, Smoothies & Healthy Breakfasts

I’ve been using this vanilla protein for years. Love the quality. Tastes great and mixes well in a shaker with water (not gritty or chalky) and blends well with other ingredients to make a tasty smoothie.This protein powder is from one of only 3 companies that do NOT use HORMONES on their animals.It was referred to me by a Nutritionist and Personal Trainer for a national health organization.It has a great flavor (I like vanilla the best) and mixes quickly with little if any lumps!Get the larger size as it is more cost-effective. This is one of those products that your return on your investment will be realized protein shake after protein shake.... Trust this one!! Love it!I love the Favor but I like it most fir giving you energy from the protein mgs but I miss the Casein for the muscles that it use to have and some of the ingredients had more mg!!! It has very good ingredients in it!!After searching for the perfect fitness powder, this one by Bluebonnet is the winner! I take it with just about 8 oz. of room temperature water, and it still tastes fantastic!Taste: 5/5 Stars!OK, for those who've never tried whey protein - be warned, it's going to taste something like water-down milk. Bluebonnet's whey protein is no different - except it actually tastes good!!! I don't know how they do it, but it's a pleasant flavor that I look forward to! I don't squirm and squeamish whiling downing this. I just want to add that the Vanilla flavor smells incredible! I'm looking for baking recipes to use this whey powder in because I know it'll smell fantastic!Texture: 5/5 Stars!Powder is so silky and refined, it melts in even cooler water when just stirred with a spoon!Efficacy: 5/5 Stars!Since using this powder for pre and post workouts, my muscles feel more toned. I'm really focusing on ab and glute exercises now, and my abdomen does feel a lot more defined, and I'm seeing more "lift" and rounder shape in my buttocks :)Price: 5/5 Stars!Sorry, don't even think about buying this at your local health-food stores! I got it on Amazon for like $24 bucks, with prime shipping, compared to $32 in-stores! Yikes!For a real treat, I shake it up in my Mason jar filled half-way with almond milk and generous sprinklings of ground cinnamon powder! Yum! Tastes like horchata!This is my favorite protein powder thus far, using protein powders for 2 years now due to weight loss surgery. This has a great amount of protein for 1 scoop. Two scoops would be overkill, as I add collagen in too, which a small scoop of that has 9 gr of protein. As some say it looks like you only get half of a container. However, it is compacted by shipping. In stores, I assume they shake theirs lightly to make it not appear compacted when opening-not sure about this-just assuming. I put it in my coffee. It mixes well with a little whisk. I put my collegian in too. Good drink if you like sweet creamy coffee (French Vanilla)! I also get chocolate too and mix with sugar free chocolate pudding! Great tasting protein.Felt fooled because their larger container that is vanilla-flavored has no sweetener. This version has the same nice vanilla note to it, but is cloyingly sweet. (And stevia leaves a nasty after-taste.)The ingredients are fine but I hate the taste. Yuk. I've been using vanilla whey from Life Extension for my fat and veggie smoothies, and it tastes good. This French Vanilla Bluebonnet has an artificial taste which I find awful. I'd rather have no sweetness at all, so I'll buy non flavored instead. I will add that I have trained myself to not like things very sweet, so I don't usually eat any artificial sweeteners. If you are used to them and don't mind the health effects, you may like this.Update:Although I still don't like the taste by itself, I actually have been re-buying it often because with it I've finally found a smoothie that my husband likes to drink. The stevia in this really helps it taste like a milkshake. (Coconut milk, this product in chocolate, cocoa, flax, frozen organic berries, spinach.) Somehow this product tastes better in the shake than just adding your own stevia.Love this because it tastes good , NOT sweetened with sucralose or loaded with sodium like most protein powders
