Designs for Health Bone Broth Protein Powder - 26g Grass-Fed, Collagen-Rich Beef Protein Isolate – Unflavored, Paleo, Non-GMO, Dairy-Free (30 Servings / 810g)

My favorite protein powder! Tastes delicious and it isn’t too sweet.

We’ve really been enjoying this protein powder. Not only does it taste good and mix easily, but it’s also been surprisingly gentle on digestion. For someone dealing with IBD issues, finding a supplement that doesn’t cause discomfort is a big deal, and this one has actually been helpful. It gives us the protein boost we need without the usual stomach problems, which makes it a staple in our routine. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a clean, effective, and gut-friendly option.

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.

Taste great, makes me feel good

Let me get the one downside out of the way first: this stuff is sticky. Really sticky. If you spill it while it's mixed, you're in for a cleanup project. The wet powder clings to surfaces, and the mixed consistency is somewhat slimy due to the collagen content. That's just the nature of bone broth protein. Keep a towel nearby and don't mix it over your keyboard. Now the good stuff. 26g of protein per serving from grass-fed Swedish cows. Dairy-free, paleo-friendly, no GMOs. This is a legitimate alternative for anyone who can't do whey or wants the added benefits of collagen peptides for joints, skin, and gut health. The unflavored version actually is unflavored. It blends into smoothies, coffee, or savory dishes without adding unwanted sweetness or artificial taste. I've mixed it into soups and sauces without anyone noticing. Designs for Health is a practitioner-grade brand, which means the sourcing and testing standards are higher than typical retail supplements. You pay more, but you know what you're getting. If you can tolerate the texture quirks, this is one of the best beef protein isolates on the market. Just don't make it over the carpet.

This is the only protein powder I’ve found that doesn’t upset my stomach. I have to get the unflavored so that it’s not too sweet. Have repurchased it many times.

Purchased the unflavored version, but it was definitely flavored and the flavor was disgusting. Had a sort of beefy flavor. I used it in a smoothie and it made the smoothie gross. I tried to return it due to an inaccurate product description on the website, but was denied the return. Now I’m stuck with aI tried to return it due to an inaccurate product description on the website, but was denied the return. Now I’m stuck with a massive container of disgusting protein powder. I wish I was able to return the product.

Favorite protein powder! Blends well, flavor is not overpowering. My husband likes the unflavored because he avoids stevia. We buy all three flavors.
