Designs for Health PurePaleo Collagen Protein Powder - 21g HydroBEEF Bone Broth Protein Supplement with Collagen Peptides + BCAAs - Vanilla, Non-GMO, Dairy-Free + Gluten-Free (30 Servings / 810g)

This is an amazing alternative to whey and pea etc. protein based protein powders. It's expensive, but worth it. I like the vanilla flavor, but the chocolate is even better. I love to stir it into yogurt (non dairy). I don't like the taste of the unflavored version at all. I am so happy I chose to stick it out and try the vanilla and chocolate instead!

This was recommended to me by a naturopath for its Paleo and allergen free ingredients. It did not disappoint. Best tasting protein powder and smells good too! It mixes best with a blender or a hand mixer. Can’t wait to try the chocolate one.

Love it, just expensive.

I have been using this protein powder in my morning smoothie for about a year now, after first hearing Chris Kresser mention the product in his podcast. I just wasn't hungry in the mornings and I knew I needed a way to start my day with some good calories (i.e. protein and fat, minimal carbs). Add to that an intolerance to dairy protein (the problem for me is really casein, but I also wanted to avoid whey if possible), and this powder was exactly what I needed. It took some fiddling with the smoothie recipe, but now it consistently blends well with the other ingredients. If you try to mix it with just water, it's quite possible that you get the "soup" with chunks of protein floating around. It tastes okay that way but doesn't really look appetizing. The trick is to add some fat to the mix - MCT oil is what I use, along with a couple raw eggs. Then maybe a super greens kind of supplement (chocolate flavored works best with this vanilla protein powder) and occasionally some unmodified potato starch (resistant starch!). Then I blend in the Magic Bullet. It's actually super tasty, and now I look forward to 'breakfast' every morning. Yes, the price is pretty steep, but this is high quality stuff. And one canister will last several weeks of daily use. I use a dose and a half (i.e. 3 tablespoons) each morning, and I get about 3 weeks of smoothies out of it. If you only use the standard dose, there are 30 servings per canister. 27g (1 serving) of high quality protein for breakfast every morning for a month for ~$80 = $2.66 per breakfast. That's downright affordable.

I recently discovered that I’m sensitive to dairy and peas, which made finding a suitable protein powder a challenge—especially since most non-dairy options contain pea protein. I wasn’t expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised by how good this protein powder tastes. I actually really enjoy it! It's unfortunate how pricey it is. The only downside is that it blends quite thick. I switched from almond milk to water to thin it out, but it didn’t make much of a difference. I’ve also noticed that if I don’t drink it right away, the consistency becomes a bit strange. It would be great if people shared their favorite recipes in the reviews so others could experiment! Personally, I’ve been mixing it with water and frozen berries or strawberries. If you’re a fan of the Bananas-A-Whey smoothie from Booster Juice, try blending it with frozen bananas—it’s delicious. Looking forward to trying the chocolate flavor next!
