Designs for Health Bone Broth Protein Powder – 21g Grass-Fed, Collagen-Rich Beef Protein Isolate – Vanilla, Paleo, Non-GMO, Dairy-Free (30 Servings / 810g)

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.

Vanilla taste is very good (and I normally don’t like vanilla!) - I mix it with my Ryze mushroom coffee as a creamer! I have no problem with clumping at all - I put it in a jar and shake it around. (See pic) No blender bottle needed. It does create some foam, depending on how hard you shake it, but you can drink the foam. I’m also pleased with the creamy taste without the need for a bunch of oils like other brands use to create the creamy taste! I haven’t experienced any bloating issues at all with it.

Great flavor. Nice dairy free product that isn't also pea based.

Designs for Health is a very reputable company of quality products. This Vanilla flavor Bone Broth Protein Powder is another example. A "clean" product without any GMO grains, dairy or junk additives. Delicious with frozen strawberries! Highly recommend.

It’s much better than the unflavoured but almost too sweet for me, I just mix with some warm water and Mct oil then needs a good shake and wait for the foam to settle.

my favorite protein powder. It taste good unlike any other. I’ve tried. I think I’m on my fifth bottle so good.

Honestly, best tasting protein powder I’ve ever used. It literally tastes like hot chocolate and has so many benefits for your gut compared to other protein powders. Super easy to digest, I have gut issues and I never bloat with this protein powder! Wish it was cheaper but palatability and quality wins on this one!

This powder will not dissolve fully. I tried room temperature water, warm water, cold water, shaker bottle, frother, blender - nothing worked to get rid of the way it congealed and hardened into little bits. It is disgusting. Taste is ok, but the texture reminds me of those videos of people having tonsil stones removed. 🤢
