"Dairy-free protein powder leaves a lot to be desired. It's often chalky and has a weird aftertaste from whatever sweetener it contains. In the past, I've done my best to mask the flavor by adding a ton of other ingredients, yet the protein powder always came through. Never again! Discovering Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides ($43 for a 20-ounce tub) has totally changed my smoothie game. The powder has absolutely no flavor, which means I can mix it into anything and not alter the taste or texture of what I am drinking — even water. Each serving contains 18 grams of protein and also a healthy dose of collagen and BCAAs, which helps improve skin, joint, and hair health while also aiding in muscle recovery.
If you do like your protein powder to have some flavor, I can't recommend Vital Proteins Vanilla and Coconut ($75 for a 20-ounce tub) enough. I've been blending it into my coffee every morning with some 4th & Heart vanilla ghee, and can't remember a time where I've felt more energized and focused." — MF
