I've been shopping around for whey as I've been getting into fitness recently and a friend recommended this brand. I've already re-ordered becauseI really like this brand. This is very high quality and feels velvety smooth. I usually make a protein shake with peanut butter, banana, oats, creatine, almond milk, ice and cocoa powder and it comes out really good. Because it's so thick, I have to add a little extra milk but it comes out delicious and I have this daily. Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed!Natural vanilla flavor LEANFIT® grass-fed whey protein powder provide high quality nutrition drink with good tasting. No artificial additives. Packed in 1.83 LB in 23 servings. at $31.5, a little pricey though, even after 30% off (original $45)I'm a longtime protein powder user, and I've tried them all. This is a nice, basic vanilla protein, which I quite like. Many companies somehow manage to mess this sort of thing up with weird flavors and excessive sweetness, but this avoids those issues. It's got a light, clean vanilla flavor with a mild sweetness that doesn't get in the way. Ingredients are clean, with no funny business. Macros are good with low carbs. Recommended.This stuff tastes great and that's most important to me. Sadly, it's got so many carbs that it drops me out of Keto. I'm OK with that when I'm not trying to lose weight but who's not trying to lose weight...For whater reason, the nutrtion label as shown on the product page for this protein powder doesn't match up with the label on the actual product. Mainly the serving size is slightly larger on the actual product, which is what likely what leads to all the other aspects of it's contents being slightly increased.As for the powder itself, I was pretty surprised with how good it tasted. It manages to not have any strange off taste like many other products and mixes well enough with milk or water. It doesn't turn out too sweet and the vanilla flavor isn't overpowering. I'm sure though that for some the flavor might not be strong enough. Was just right to me though.The list of added nutrients isn't as thorough as some other products might contain, but it seems to have the most pertinent ones. The price for this one versus other brand though might be a bit too high really. Those things aside though, this is overall a pretty good powder....a little more intensity of vanilla flavor, I'd like this even more.I poured 10 ounces of "sugar removed" milk in a shaker bottle.One scoop of this over the milk, capped the bottle and shook.This mixed well and easily.It has a good flavor, no weird fake after taste or bitterness.The intensity of both vanilla flavor and sweetness for me, as made described above was about a 4-5 on a scale of 10.I pretty much drink dark roast coffee, so maybe if you have a more sensitive palateyou'll get a higher level of flavor and sweetness than I do.This is not described, on the bottle or the product page as "isolate" so if that's important to you, be aware of that.No sugar, so low carbs (2), and this is sweetened with stevia; I usually have extreme stevia detectors (which always perceive bitterness). I do not get an undesirable stevia aftertaste from this (Yay!).Something I've never seen in a protein powder (maybe never noticed...) but this has (quoting from the product page):"pineapple bromelain, a natural digestive enzyme, for maximum absorption and fast digestion".What I can tell you is that in between meals when I needed something, this worked well for me.I will enjoy using this.I hope this review has enabled you to make an informed purchase decision; if so, please hit the "helpful" button below; Thanks :-).I rarely give an overall 5 star rating.The LeanFit Vanilla Whey Protein Powder comes in a huge, nearly full 1.83lb plastic tube, scoop included. The vanilla flavor and scent are good. Not too sweet but enough to change the profile of whatever you are drinking, be it coffee or shake, so be aware. Does have papaya and pineapple enzymes, so if you are sensitive to either of these, I wouldn't recommend using this powdered supplement. Otherwise, it has good solubility, dissolving in hot liquid without globs or floaters. I am the laziest person ever when it comes to making shakes. Instead, I like to spoon in a little of my powders into my coffee. Can't say how it would do in room temp or cold liquids for shakes/bowls. As a protein-rich coffee creamer, this will make it a hint sweeter and vanilla-esk, and only slightly change the hue of the liquid. This is a Canada-made product.It actually tastes decent and mixes easily. It has a nice amount of Amino Acids in it and they’re all listed, with the amount of each listed too. They’ve included some digestive enzymes in the mix too, which I think is always a good thing to help the body process the protein better. It looks to be made clean, without Soy, preservatives and other unwanted things. It’s made in Canada and though they don’t specify much about their Testing or Manufacturing processes, it does have an INFORMED CHOICE label that says it is tested though. The container, which arrived quickly and was sealed well, comes with 23 Servings and each one has 25 grams of protein in each. All being said, I think it’s a decent protein and it with it, only having 1.5g of Saturated Fat and just 1g of Sugar in each serving, the Leanfit label works well.
