Orgain Organic Protein & Superfoods - 1.12lbs Vanilla Bean

This is my second time ordering this product! It has helped me in so many ways from losing weight to simplifying my mornings. Having a shake for breakfast keeps me relatively full for 2-3 hours or until lunch. I’ve been able to lose weight by using this as a meal replacement and staying in a calorie deficit. I love this product. I love the PB flavor. The vanilla isn’t bad but it isn’t my favorite. Whey based protein powders make me breakout but this is dairy free, with little amount of sugar and probiotics! It’s great overall. I’m going to stick with this protein powder for years to come as long as they don’t do anything stupid like change their ingredientsor discontinue the PB flavor. This is a long review but fyi I wasn’t paid or anything to write it. I’m just ... MoreThis is my second time ordering this product!

I bought this product because of the reviews. Im skeptical about reviews because I find that many reviews are pumped up and not always accurate. I am very much a naturalist, as much as I can be. I have found that many processed foods have additives that make them not as natural as I would like. I compared this product against another product that I bought around the same time. I used them both with the same ingredients, except for the protein powder. Both had Stevia, which I am not crazy about. This powder was hands-down better than the other product, and heres why. It had cleaner ingredients, it was organic, only 1 gram of sugar and it had 5 grams of prebiotics. A lot of times, protein powder will be high in protein but also high in sugar. This wasnt. It blended ... MoreI bought this product because of the reviews. Im skeptical about reviews because I find that many reviews are pumped up and not always accurate.

It blended smoothly and the Stevia flavor was not overpowering. I also liked the fact that it was plant based protein. Also, it is gluten free. I liked the ratio of protein to sugar as well as ingredients like chia, flax, quinoa, millet, amaranth, etc. 90% I loved it. The 10% of my dislike would be how they flavored it. Instead of using vanilla bean flavor, I would have liked to see vanilla bean extract or cacao powder, if it was chocolate. I dont like artificial flavors of any sort. I still love this product and I would buy it again. I give it an A instead of A+.

I usually buy the chocolate version, but thought Id try this vanilla flavor. I found I prefer thechocolate flavor, as it seems sweeter and has a more natural taste. I use them both as creamers for tea or coffee. Im unable to afford the smoothie powder now, and the chocolate wont work for that, so I thought this vanilla flavor could also be used in smoothies. However, Im not a big fan of the taste, so it wont work. I have to use two scoops, plus a scoop of my vanilla multi collagen, to get enough sweetness, and even then, the stevia taste is too strong, and both drown out the chai, tea and coffee flavors. So, its not bad, its just ok. But Ill return to the chocolate next month. One plus is that it mixes better than the chocolate, for some reason.

I sometimes would mix the chocolate into almond milk, but cant do that with the vanilla because Im not that wild about the taste. So, you may like it and still want to try it, so go ahead, as everyones tastes are different.

My A1C test was 10.1% three and a half weeks ago. It freaked me out and ! wanted to immediately change my meal routine. Ive started a regimen of mixing up an Orgain shake every morning and half of one in the evening if Im craving dessert. My glucose monitor arrived 5 days ago and Ive seen my pre-meal and post-meal glucose numbers improve into the high side of normal ranges in such a short time!In the far past, I bought the Orgain Meal formulas, but bought the Superfoods this time because the cost is lower. Stevia is too sweet for my taste buds, so I combine unsweetened non-dairy milk and water to almost fill a 28 oz cup, adding an extra 8 oz of liquid than the instructions call for. The Vanilla flavor allows me to customize the flavors. Yesterday, I added pure ... MoreMy A1C test was 10.1% three and a half weeks ago.

Yesterday, I added pure de-fatted peanut powder and cocoa powder, today I added a big spoon of homemade strawberry chia jam, and next time, it will be half of a ripe banana, using a stick blender.

Ok so a few pics of the recipes Ive used this protein: 1-protein smoothie 2- oatmeal 3- pancakes 🤤🤤🤤This is delish... And Im a picky eater... Love junk food, sweets, pizza etc. I have a childish palate for food and this makes me choose unhealthy food more often than not...but recently I got sick and kind of had a wake up call to go back on track and eat healthier. This protein has a really good taste. I drink it by itself as well just almond milk from califa farms toasted coconut or as a smoothie with banana. If I use it in any of my recipes it makes it taste better and 21g protein. So yeah, win win for me. Ill be repurchasing!!! I also liked the vanilla orgain sports but I didnt like it by itself as I found it too sweet. This one is on point tho. I wish it had ... MoreOk so a few pics of the recipes Ive used this protein: 1-protein smoothie 2- oatmeal 3- pancakes 🤤🤤🤤This is delish... And Im a picky eater...

I wish it had more protein like 30g sports vanilla but anyway anyhow Id recommend it to a friend. PLEASE DONT BUY TOO MUCH OF IT OTHERWISE will go out of stock! Thank you!

I started looking for vegan protein after gut problem with whey and whey isolates.Orgain was recommended online so I took a shot and tried the vanilla ones because vanilla is the best flavor for every brand. I got tired of Vanilla and so I shopped around. I was also not happy with the calorie to protein ratio. I got 20g for 100 cal with Whey Isolate which is just 20 cal of non protein nutrients. Orgain is 21g for 150 cal. Thats 66 cal on non protein. I then tried MyProteins vegan blend. They have brown rice which has cal to protein ratio on par with wheys. I also tried their pea+rice which is similar to Orgains comp. They were terrible. They were so bad that I puked multiple times.I then came back to Orgain and bought one fudge and one peanut butter. I loved ... MoreI started looking for vegan protein after gut problem with whey and whey isolates.Orgain was recommended online so I took a shot and tried the vanilla ones because vanilla is the best flavor for every brand.

I loved chocolate fudge with almond milk. However, the peanut butter was on another level in flavor masterclass. Just amazing.I also thought a bit about the protein to calorie ratio.Every medical professional says to get protein from real sources like foods, etc. and then supplement with protein powder. The advantage of vegan protein with rice+pea blend means that theyre actually real sources of food rather than just protein extracts. This means I can actually count for protein shake in my meal and feel better.Give it a shot. Almond milk is a must. Little calorie expenditure for amazing flavor.

Best tasting vegan protein, Period.

I’ve been eating whole food plant based for the last two and a half years, and during this time I have tried just about every powder and pre made shake out there. Every one of them was either too gritty or had an unpleasant aftertaste or had both. I had tried Orgain grassed shakes when I still eating a regularly diet and Enjoyed them. I tried the chocolate, plant based shakes and wasn’t a fan. I had resigned to the fact that maybe all plant based proteins tastes nasty and I would just have to learn to stomach it. Well, on my last shopping trip to Costco, I saw tubs of Orgain Plant based Protein + Superfoods in Vanilla Bean and Chocolate flavor and decided to give it a try.

Well, on my last shopping trip to Costco, I saw tubs of Orgain Plant based Protein + Superfoods in Vanilla Bean and Chocolate flavor and decided to give it a try. I honestly didn’t have high hopes after remembering how bad the chocolate shakes were, but had ran out of protein at home, so I just went for it. Well, I’m so glad I did! When I arrived home, I mixed two scoops with a about 8-10 oz almond milk…it was so yummy. The consistency was not gritty, it was creamy and the vanilla-spice flavor was absolutely delicious. Then, I decided to give it the ultimate test. I dropped two scoops into 10 oz of water in my shaker and shook it up. To my surprise, it still mixed extremely well and tasted great, too. This is now my go-to protein for drinking and cooking. I’m ordering the chocolate from website, today. Thank you to Orgain for making such a great product!

Beware of the constipation

I have used this protein for 2 years (Almost 40 jars) and am sharing my experience. I am a 27 years old fit male with no constipation issues. After 6 months of daily usage of this orgain powder, I started developing constipation which then turned into bleeding and other issues.I went to see many doctors and no one could figure out why am I having such severe constipation, given I take a very healthy overall diet. This powder was the last thing I would doubt because it's organic, vegan, and made of vegetables. But there is one catch we all ignore. It has 0 sugar but it's extremely sweet. How? It has an insanely high amount of artificial sweeteners. Consuming such a high dosage of artificial sweeteners can upset the stomach which is exactly what happened to me.After ... MoreI have used this protein for 2 years (Almost 40 jars) and am sharing my experience.

Now I am not saying it will be the case for everybody but if you are experiencing something similar, try getting off this powder.

I really like the product

I really like the product but had some concerns about the organic erythritol that was one of its ingredients. I sent a message to Orgain about my concerns and my question was answered promptly and with a detailed and research backed response from someone named Dan. I really appreciated him addressing my concerns . Because “the jury is still out” on erythritol, I have decided to hold off on consuming anything with erythritol for myself and especially for my husband who has an aortic aneurysm as well as prostate cancer. My husband drinks daily your plant based protein shakes and eats the protein bars . I know the shakes do not contain erythritol but have yet to check for it in the bars since he has recently run out of them . I know erythritol has been around for a ... MoreI really like the product but had some concerns about the organic erythritol that was one of its ingredients.

I know erythritol has been around for a long time and passed all the safety requirements so for all of a sudden for them to be questioning it, is frustrating!I do want to thank Orgain for their quality products and to thank Dan for getting back with me with regard to my concerns.When he first texted me , i was in the process of responding back to him and for some reason my text was lost before I could finish it and send it . I decided to take the opportunity to respond to this email with that somewhat delayed response.Thanks much !Cheryl Glasscock

The vanilla has better flavor in my opinion but chocolate is thicker creamer

I mix this into yogurt to take it and it's delicious and good for you but also has more spices and veggies than other protein drinks. It's good added to yogurt or with flax and frozen fruit in a smoothie. I don't recommend using it in thin liquids as it's hard to get even and a little grainy in just like water, but it's great in other things and even works in like applesauce or pumpkin puree or with fruit and flax and almond milk blended. Great for quick nutrition and energy and protein when you are on the go- in fact I have just put a spoonful in my mouth dry and chewed it and it's delicious but be ware if you do this that you don't choke as it softens as you chew it but right away is dusty- i know i'm nuts but it actually is good and sometimes you have to grab ... MoreI mix this into yogurt to take it and it's delicious and good for you but also has more spices and veggies than other protein drinks.

If it's too sweet for you as is for me, add green tea matcha or chicory powder to it and it balances the sweet and adds some energy. God bless you! Also dont' use it as meal replacement often as that's not healthy and can lead to not getting enough food you need unless you are sure it's okay for you or your doctor and loved ones advise it- just saw the meal replacement option for the review and i would say it's a great addition to a meal or like a snack but maybe not a full meal it's not enough calories to do that safely. Thanks stay healthy and safe and know Jesus loves you!
