Designs for Health PurePaleo Collagen Protein Powder - 26g HydroBEEF Bone Broth Protein Supplement with Collagen Peptides + BCAAs - Unflavored, Non-GMO, Dairy-Free + Gluten-Free (30 Servings / 810g)

Vanilla taste is very good (and I normally don’t like vanilla!) - I mix it with my Ryze mushroom coffee as a creamer! I have no problem with clumping at all - I put it in a jar and shake it around. (See pic) No blender bottle needed. It does create some foam, depending on how hard you shake it, but you can drink the foam. I’m also pleased with the creamy taste without the need for a bunch of oils like other brands use to create the creamy taste! I haven’t experienced any bloating issues at all with it.

Great flavor. Nice dairy free product that isn't also pea based.

Good product. Makes my nails grow!

I’m following a strict Candida protocol, and needed a high quality protein to get in my protein macros, without the ingredients or junk that cause inflammation. My functional nutritionist recommended this brand, the unflavored being the most pure and simple. I’ve read other peoples way of making this, and i think they are being too complex. This is a bone broth protein, so it does have more of a thicker foundation. I simply take a scoop in a very large coffee mug, I use hot water like a ‘tea’, and add in some MCT oil, and some sea salt, and I’ve also experimented with a teaspoon of raw cacao. Use a small frother/blender to mix and sprinkle some cinnamon. It’s basically a ‘coffee’ alternative in the morning with 26 grams of protein and healing benefits for your gut microbiome.

For those that bought the unflavored version, let me save you some grief. The beef flavor and smell is really hard to hide in my opinion. Get yourself one of those battery powered hand mixers on Amazon for like seven bucks and some organic beef broth. Poor 2 cups of broth in a bowl and add a scoop of the powder. Use the hand mixer for about 30 seconds and pop in the microwave for one minute. Add a bunch of seasoning like garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, etc. and mix until combined put it back in the microwave for 1-2 mins. This was the best way for me to quickly intake this powder without having to make complex smoothies and using a blender.If you want to make a meal out of it, add Shin black ramen and a couple of hard boiled eggs! If you’re staying away from processed food, just add some plain rice stock noodles and fresh veggies instead.

I rarely leave negative reviews, mainly because my issue is usually resolved to my satisfaction. I recently purchased this product but when I opened it up the smell of ammonia was very strong and offensive. I didn't feel it was safe to consume. I looked at reviews on Amazon and I'm not the only one to experience this. Amazon said it wasn't returnable so I called the company. Designs for Health has a great reputation. I've used many of their products and never had an issue. I called them and was told they had not heard of this and that since I bought it from Amazon that I had to return it to them. Now this is a problem as I now have a product that is unusable that was expensive. Proceed with caution purchasing this product from Amazon. I think it would be fine to purchase from the company because if there is a problem they will stand behind their product.

It keeps me full but tastes and smells not so good

It’s much better than the unflavoured but almost too sweet for me, I just mix with some warm water and Mct oil then needs a good shake and wait for the foam to settle.
