Not for dairy free folks

I have been dairy free for many years. Thought I’d give this a try, since it’s lactose free and doesn’t come from animals. Every time I’ve tried it, I’ve gotten horrible stomach aches unlike any I’ve experienced. A sharp pain mixed with cramps and nausea. Like, leaving me doubled over in pain in bed. Not sure what it is, but if you are not used to dairy, stay away!!

I was recommended this by my uncle (he does five protein shakes a day, so he's tried a lot). I'm lactose intolerant, and dairy makes my face break out, so the idea of a whey protein that's dairy-free was very intriguing. I was a little nervous when some of the reviews talked about getting really sick after trying it, so I got a sample first. Haven't had any issues, maybe they were taking it on an empty stomach? Every person is different I guess 🤷‍♀️ Only slight issue is that the chocolate mint flavor never quite mixes thoroughly. There's always a few crunchy clumps left, which might be intentional? It's not entirely unpleasant.

I am loving this protein. Not harsh on my stomach and digestive system like traditional whey. Will definitely keep buying. The cinnamon cereal flavor is great in oatmeal! I eat it every day!
Goes Well With:
Oatmeal, almond milk

Good macros and all that, fruity cereal flavor is not great by itself (with just water or milk not in a shake), cinnamon cereal is great tho

I was pretty excited to try this new plant-based whey because I've been using MyProtein's "The Plant Protein" mix for a while. I got a smaller size of the decadent brownie flavor - and my normal tub of plant protein to be safe. So glad I did. Every time I try it I get a horrible stomach ache. I won't get too graphic, but...have you ever read that infamous Amazon review for those sugar-free gummy bears? Yeah... I am lactose intolerant but this isn't the reaction I normally have from eating dairy. Quite the opposite, actually. So - yes, I have a sensitive stomach, but if you're looking for dairy-free options then chances are you do too. Just be warned.

Horrible GI reaction

Tried two different flavours - chocolate mint and strawberry banana. Both tasted good (if a little sweet) and mixed well. However, like a few other reviewers, BOTH induced severe vomiting about 2 hrs after ingesting. I thought it was food poisoning the first time, but after it happened with the other flavour as well I realized it was the protein. It seems to be fine for the majority of people. I don’t have any other food sensitivities or allergies so I’m not sure what I reacted to. Hopefully MyProtein sorts this out as it’s super distressing to experience.

This is the best protein to mix with milk, I haven’t been able to find a “drinkable” protein for years. Doesn’t have a protein taste and is smooth and silky. I will be getting more!
Goes Well With:
Milk, in oatmeal

Love this product! I've always liked whey the best. I went vegan and just couldn't get myself to like pea protein, rice protein, etc. So I was stoked to see vegan (animal-free) whey come to Canada. It is SO smooth, exactly the calories-to-protein ratio you expect from whey, and delicious. Salted caramel is my favourite, mint chocolate is also very good. (Strawberry banana was fine. Really would not recommend chocolate brownie.) After mixing with water, the shake is always a little translucent. I look forward to the price coming down, but it's fair when there's a sale. Cheaper than Vega anyway. If you're vegan and curious about precision-fermented proteins, or if you're omnivore or vegetarian and want to see how good an animal-free product can be, definitely check this out. (Note that while this is animal-free and in my opinion ethically vegan, it isn't technically plant-based like pea protein. The protein was created by some hard-working microflora. But if you're into mushrooms and whatnot, that's probably not an issue!)
Goes Well With:
Salted caramel and mint chocolate are great on their own, but REALLY shine when shaken with iced coffee.
