OrgainOrganic Vegan Protein Powder, Vanilla Bean - 21g Plant Protein, 6g Prebiotic Fiber, No Lactose Ingredients, No Added Sugar, Non-GMO, For Shakes & Smoothies, 2.03 lb (Packaging May Vary)

I've tried several protein powders over the years, but Orgain Organic Vegan Protein Powder (Vanilla Bean) stands out for its smooth texture, versatility, and clean ingredients.Mixability & TextureOne of my biggest issues with protein powders is clumping, but this one blends effortlessly. Whether I mix it with whole milk or 2%, it dissolves smoothly without any chalky or grainy texture. Drinking it as a shake is enjoyable, with no need for excessive stirring or blending.Versatility in RecipesWhat really sets this product apart is how well it integrates into cooking and baking. I’ve used it in my from-scratch pancake recipe, and it blends seamlessly without altering the consistency or requiring adjustments. It gives me peace of mind knowing I can add extra nutrition to my kids’ favorite breakfast without compromising taste or texture. Unlike other protein powders I’ve tried, this one doesn’t make the batter too thick or dry.Beyond pancakes, I’ve successfully incorporated it into other baking recipes—muffins, waffles, and even homemade protein bars. I appreciate that I don’t have to tweak my base recipes, which isn’t always the case with plant-based protein powders.Flavor & SweetnessThe Vanilla Bean flavor is rich and decadent without being overpowering. Since it’s sweetened with stevia, I find the sweetness level to be well-balanced—not too strong or artificial-tasting. If you’re used to sugar-laden protein powders, this might be an adjustment, but I personally enjoy the natural taste.Final ThoughtsThis is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a high-quality, plant-based protein powder that’s easy to mix, works well in recipes, and contains clean ingredients. Whether you’re drinking it as a shake or using it in baked goods, it performs exceptionally well.✔ Pros:✅ Blends smoothly, no clumping✅ Versatile—great for shakes & baking✅ Clean ingredients, non-GMO, no artificial additives✅ Balanced sweetness with stevia✅ Rich vanilla flavor⚠ Considerations:❌ If you’re not used to stevia, the taste might take some getting used to❌ Vanilla flavor is strong—great if you love vanilla, but it might overpower delicate recipesWould I buy this again? Absolutely! It’s now a staple in my kitchen for both drinks and baking.

Or gain is a great product. We use both the powder, and the premixed drink boxes. I like the taste, compared to other powders I have tried. It is not a DQ shake, but for a vegan protein shake it is good. I only mix it in smoothies with frozen fruits, and fresh produce. So the powder only provides a little sweetness and a lot of protein. If you hate all protein powders, you will probably hate this one too. Maybe if you hate all protein powders try drinking smoothies with just fruits and veggies, and get your protein from some other healthy source.For protein powders, I prefer vegan protein. I get plenty of meat based protein in my diet, but whey protein is harder for me to digest, and process. Vegan protein powder gives me a more balanced amino acid profile, I get the aminos I would otherwise miss in my animal based diet, of milk, eggs, and lean proteins. As a male, I try to avoid soy proteins, and I’m cautious of legumes. Vegan proteins are great, but you want to get the correct vegan proteins, for your needs, goals, and limitations. Or gain uses high quality, safe, balanced vegan sourced proteins.I realize there is a subset of people that say why smoothies? Just eat food. I was not 326 lbs because I was eating healthy foods. I was in the camp of people that thought fruit was a waste of calories. I mean come on, 2 apples have the same calories as a candy bar. But what I have learned is that two apples will nourish and fuel your body, leaving you satisfied. Sugar just trashes your hormones and metabolism. Calories are not the only thing that made me fat. Excess calories from poor nutrition made me fat. Protein smoothies were my baby step in learning how to eat the right stuff. I knew what to eat. I just did not want to do it. Protein smoothies taste good to me. They helped me to learn how to like eating fruit. I now eat whole fruits in place of junk food. I also eat a lot of fruits in smoothies with Orgain powder.My overall review is fairly glowing, and I will let my 5 star rating stand, as I have lost over 100 lbs. The positive benefit of losing 100 lbs and keeping that weight off out weighs anything else for me. So maybe my thoughts are biased.Protein smoothies and an otherwise terrible diet will not help you lose 100 lbs. But protein smoothies, and education may help you learn your triggers to bad eating, and they may help you compensate for cravings, and learn new cravings. It will be a struggle, and it will take time.I do not use this powder in a shaker cup so I can not say how it does with those. I do use it as a component in a fairly complex smoothie with 3 or 4 types of fruit and some greens and juices. My smoothies are not low calorie. They are good calorie with great nutrition. They are not a full meal replacement, but they are close.My smoothies run about 300 calories per serving. I consider a meal 500 calories, for my size and activity level. The nice thing about a smoothie is you can pour what you need and share the rest with your family.My go to smoothies recipe usesThe blendtec designer 625 blender with 4 sided jarAny powerful blender will work4 oz of POM juice [[ASIN:B01N9LTVU2 POM Wonderful Pomegranate Cherry, 100% Juice2 oz of lemon concentrate (gives fruit smoothies a jolly rancher effect) ReaLemon 100% Lemon Juice - 2/48 oz. btls. by ReaLemon [Foods]4 ounces of coconut milk....So Delicious Dairy Free Organic Coconutmilk Beverage, Vanilla, 32 oz (Pack of 6) plus frozen strawberries, blueberries, and fresh green baby spinach.this will make a thick smoothie, probably too thick for a ninja blender (been down that road) more liquid will help thin the smoothie if your blender can't handle it.

This is the family size recipie. Don't drink this all your self!! As a meal, this will feed two people. As a snack it will feed 6.My life is great now at 215 lbs, and I am active. I can play with my kids and ride my bike to work. I could not do that at 326 lbs.Orgain protein powder helped me. It tasted good enough to make a new lifestyle possible. It has good organic ingredients. It is a great component in my organic smoothies, that we still have several times per week.Not everyone has the same goals, or problems I had. Your journey will be different.Update:For the best price, what I have found is that I can order 5 of these every other month, in the subscribe and save program. I use the Amazon store card. that gets me another 5% off. So I get 20% off each jug I order just by making sure I have 5 items shipped every time I get a subscribe and save. If you end up liking this product as much as I do, and don't use as much, you can order 5 and then skip months until it is all gone. I think subscribe and save even has an every 6 months option. Doing it this way gives you five for the price of four. That is how I get the best deal. But other than that I pay the same price anyone else would, and those discounts are available to anyone. Good luck and happy smoothing!I think the key is to identify healthy choices and do them consistently. Protein smoothies can be an expensive way to get healthy. So using them as a supplement, may be a better choice for many. And eating healthy foods will be your best overall choice.Getting exercise is also a great idea.My hope with this review, is to encourage and inspire someone to make healthy changes. To show them that someone else has had struggles (and I still struggle, I wont even mention how badly I did this past holiday season. But with effort and consistency, there can be hope. Maybe you wont lose 100 lbs. but maybe your clothes will fit better, and you will be able to be a little more active. I remember how happy I was that my size 42 jeans were not tight any more. Now I can wear 34's, and I have gotten down to 32's when I got my weight down to 206. But so far I have not found that weight very sustainable.

Orgain protein powder is absolutely delicious. I get the Vanilla to mix with every flavor Orgain currently makes. I'm able to make a Vanilla Frappuccino without the calories and the guilt. I mix one scoop of the Vanilla Orgain protein powder, a scoop of the Orgain Iced Coffee and a scoop of the Orgain Collagen and Peptides, along with 2 teaspoons of Starbucks Blonde Instant Coffee to create my own Vanilla Frappuccino. It's so delicious. I also combine it with the Fruity Cereal protein powder and i feel like I'm eating a bowl of Fruity Pebbles. I also combine the Vanilla protein powder with the Chocolate Fudge protein powder and the instant coffee and ice and I fet a guilt free Iced Mocha. Thank you Orgain for providing such delicious products. These help me reach my protein intake goals each day. My son just started drinking Orgain as well to help with his weight loss journey. He has lost 5 pounds in a week replacing 2 meals a day with a shake and having one balanced meal a day. I will post updates as our journey progresses

Loved these for travel so I didn’t have to pack my whole tub of powder in my suitcase haha! Good flavor, good ingredients, convenient packing. However, they were impossible to pour into a water bottle so after two tries I found I would have to find a cup during travel at local spots with a lid in order to shake it.

I have always used Orgain for my protein and saw this flavor and was really excited to try it. I mix my powder in with oatmilk and coldbrew and this is the best iced coffee ever! New favorite flavor and will be getting again!I use a shaker and i never have clumpiness, i feel full after drinking. It tastes like there is a bunch of sugar but its not which is really good for someone with a sweet tooth, and its a good price for the servings.
