Smooth Vanilla Flavored 20g Protein Powder, 1.05 LB

I use this 1 scoop in the AM in my Breakfast smoothie and 1 scoop in the PM as a Pudding Snack to take my meds with. I don't think it has the perfect flavor all by itself but it is not bad at all and I am not complaining when I get so much good out of using it. It definitely can leave a after taste but I do not find it too hard to handle. I have tried a few others and this is easy to mix, is definitely tastier than most and is a decent price for a natural and healthy protein powder. I enjoy both the chocolate and Vanilla and buy both so I can trade them out to have variety. The way I handle the vitamin taste is to make up recipes for things I would normally crave like Pineapple upside down cake or chocolate brownies!!! I add 1 scoop of either chocolate or vanilla to 8 oz of almond or coconut milk and add 1/2 Avocado (better than banana with more omega, less sugars more nutrients and thickens beautifully if you like spoonfuls of goodness rather than drinking breakfast) and some kale or spinach to bump up the nutrient value,without changing the taste. Then, along with that I use a chosen flavor additive or 2 from the list and think about what spices or sweeteners would bring out the desired flavor I most want. Pumpkin Puree , Frozem Berries or Peacehes/Pineapple/Mango/ Papaya, (to get it icy cold without ice) Ground Oatmeal. Almond/ Other Nut Butter, Maple Syrup or Honey, Cacao Nibs, Caramel/Mint/Other flavorings, chopped Nuts, dried Figs, Cinnamon/other spices, chia seeds, etc. And, for my PM meds I make a pudding with 1 scoop of protein mix and 2 TBSP of Almond/Coconut Milk, with or without flavor additives. One of my favorites is Vanilla with mint flavoring and cacao nibs (like a mint chocolate ice cream) or Chocolate with Almond Butter and Cacao Nibs for a Reesces Peanut Butter Cup affect. I am happily having fun using this wonderful protein mix! I think the price is fair on the vanilla for sure but am not exactly sure why we are being gouged for chocolate flavoring. I may end up just getting vanilla and adding my own cocoa since it seems to keep going up in price.

I meant to write this review sooner so Owyn, please forgive me :) I found out about Owyn through one of their influencer partnerships (Serena Kerrigan what's good) advertising their on the go protein shakes. I'm not a huge fan, I like making my own at home. What I did love is that it was free of the top 8 allergens, one being NUTS! I have a moderate nut allergy and the amount of protein bars and shakes that have nuts/nut butters etc is probably 95% of them. I started buying their delicious protein bars without being scared of getting an allergic reaction or not reading the label correctly. I love what the brand is doing and I will continue to support them! Onto the powder, I loved the protein bars so much and the protein powder had very similar ingredients. The powder is very smooth, easy to dissolve and blend with and I have a few pointers on getting the perfect protein shake. One thing, I don't love monk fruit extract (used to sweeten) and notice it just has a VERY strong taste and one that I personally think is a bit strong. My recipe combats that so it isn't overpowering. The ingredients are clean and I feel confident using their brand. The vanilla flavor is very versatile: bake, shakes, oatmeal etc. I like my shakes not too sweet and they need be a color I can stand looking at (no more weird brown or gray shakes for me... I find that it's hard for me to want to drink them lol!) Berry shake (Go-to, doesn't taste overly sweet and isn't overly "milky" if you will, I prefer to use majority water to cut the excess calories) 2 scoops protein powder 1- 1 1/2 cup of water (more or less depending on how much shake you want) 1/4 cup milk (I use oat) 1 1/2 cups of frozen raspberries 1/2 a banana (if you need the added calories/vitamins/fullness) 4-5 ice cubes Green smoothie (fancy, easy way to get your greens in. I do feel like the powder overpowers this one so the vanilla/monk fruit taste is much stronger than the berry one) 2 scoops protein powder 1 - 1 1/2 cups water 1/4 cup of milk 1 cup of frozen mango 1 cup of spinach 1/2 banana (if you want) 3-5 ice cubes Blend and enjoy and keep supporting Owyn! I do try to buy from the website or from local retailers vs Amazon and whole foods when I can.

First off, the “Nutrition Facts” label in the advertisement is for a different product than the one being sold. The label on the actual product states that it contains 25% protein, not 40%. That isn’t a major issue for me, but it’s worth noting. I really like the shake’s unusual maple-vanilla flavor. I didn’t find it too gritty after letting it sit for a bit following mixing. I mixed mine with unsweetened oat milk, and it wasn’t too sweet, but it was very filling. It could definitely be used as a meal replacement. Overall, it’s a good value for the money, and I’d buy it again.

After cycling through many different protein brands in the pursuit of the best balance of cost and taste, this seems to be the best option. I used to get Owyn, and then try another brand just to keep my options open, but I'd always regret it and wish I had just stuck with Owyn. One of the main reasons I prefer this brand is because of the simplicity. First, I prefer a blend of proteins rather than just one. It seems like most brands just use pea protein, but Owyn adds in some pumpkin and chia to get a bit more nutritional variety in there. Although some people freak out about cane sugar, I'd rather have a protein with a small dose of cane sugar, whose effects are well studied, versus low calorie, "natural" sweeteners, like stevia, which still don't seem to have a wealth of long-term studies regarding their effects on health. I appreciate the added greens and probiotics, although frankly I'm not buying the product for that purpose. The taste and texture is great. It blends quite smooth, although you have to stir more than you may need to with some whey proteins. The hardcore whey guys always seem to complain about vegan powders being "chalky", but I'm pretty sure that's just the nature of pea protein, and honestly, I prefer the slightly chalky texture over the gummy, almost sticky, texture of whey protein. Thankfully, the added greens don't affect the taste or smell, like some other brands. You'll notice that the vanilla has a faint green tint to it though, so don't expect it to be snow white. It's just sweet enough to drink on its own with water or milk; I'd prefer just a little bit more, but that's probably better for me anyways. I've found this is also one of the best protein powders for baking and making protein bars, due to it's smooth texture. Unlike whey, it won't make your homemade protein bars sticky or gummy. While the vanilla is solid, I really like the dark chocolate! It's the first protein I've ever had that actually merits the title "dark" chocolate, and not just regular old milk chocolate. Unfortunately, the cost of the chocolate is ridiculous here on Amazon, so I only get the vanilla here, while relying on stores to find the dark chocolate at a lower cost.

The taste is not so great, but for someone who has a nut allergy, the fact that it's nut free is amazing. Mix it in some milk and it's fine. Now sure why the container is so large though. It's only a quarter full.

The taste was good, not the best I've had but it was good. It blends up nicely. I would buy this product again, except for the packaging. I knew how many serving I was getting, and I know it is sold by weight not volume. But I felt shocked and indignant when I saw the size of the plastic container it came in, compared to the amount of product in the container. It was less then half full. It makes me mad. I don't want to store the little bit of powder in my cupboard in that huge container. Not to mention the huge waste of plastic. This company is supposed to be all about not giving us what we don't need and then sends it in a huge oversized plastic container. I will attach pictures of the container when I first opened it. I will not buy this again unless they change their packaging.

Terrible chalky overly sweet & artificial tasting vanilla. I am on the search for a yummy protein powder that doesn’t break the bank and this has some positive reviews so I gave it a shot. I’m struggling to get through the bottle and every couple weeks I’ll try again with different ingredients but always ends with a cringe face when I taste it. So far tone it up was the best but on the pricier side. I’ll rather keep searching or just have to bite the bullet and pay up for a happier breakfast.

I just think you should get some more full or least half way up inside the container for the price of it ☺️ I just mind it was way more and more scoop sizes and more protein powder in the container and it looks like nothing in a way it should at least be full to the stop of the protein powder container. That was the only part I wasn't happy with and how much protein powder you got inside of the container. But it smells yummy like vanilla and tastes powdery by itself so to me it's better to mix it with fruits and peanut and mix with protein powder in together as a mixture or whatever you prefer 🤔 just my opinion and preference but do whatever you like to do with the protein powder and I have gotten to use to plant based protein powder(s) it's like my go to for me still and it's no clumping and good scoop size and it's plant based and you can fix Smoothies with the protein powder or alone and it suppose to have great health benefits. My feelings are somewhat neutral about the protein powder it's in between for me but I still like it as a protein based protein powder minus the protein powdery taste of it.

It functioned, mostly. Terrible taste. The shaker didn't like it. Not again.

Tastes absolutely disgusting - buy if you want to feel like u r drinking powdered plastic

Has a really strange taste and huge container used to package. Only about half full. Does fill you up though and is gluten free.
