Amazon.com: Customer reviews: Orgain Organic Vegan Protein Powder, Vanilla Bean - 21g Plant Based Protein, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Lactose Free, Soy Free, No Sugar Added, Kosher, For Smoothies & Shakes

Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2024

As someone who follows a vegan lifestyle and is passionate about health and fitness, finding a high-quality protein powder that meets my dietary needs and tastes great can be a challenge. Thankfully, I discovered Orgain Organic Vegan Protein Powder in the delicious Vanilla Bean flavor, and it has quickly become a staple in my daily routine.

One of the standout features of this protein powder is its clean and organic ingredient list. I love that it's made with wholesome, plant-based ingredients and is free from common allergens like gluten, dairy, lactose, and soy. Plus, there's no added sugar, which is a huge bonus for those looking to reduce their sugar intake without sacrificing flavor.

The 21g of plant-based protein per serving provides a satisfying boost to my daily protein intake, helping me fuel my workouts and support muscle recovery. I appreciate that the protein comes from a blend of pea, brown rice, and chia seeds, which provides a complete amino acid profile and supports optimal muscle growth and repair.

The Vanilla Bean flavor is absolutely delicious and versatile. I enjoy blending it into smoothies, mixing it with almond milk for a quick post-workout shake, or even incorporating it into recipes like pancakes and baked goods for an extra protein boost. The subtle vanilla flavor adds a hint of sweetness without being overpowering, making it perfect for mixing with other ingredients.

Overall, I highly recommend Orgain Organic Vegan Protein Powder in Vanilla Bean to anyone looking for a clean, plant-based protein supplement that delivers on taste and nutrition. It's become an essential part of my daily routine, and I'm confident it will help others achieve their health and fitness goals as well.

21 grams of vegan protein w/ branched chain amio acids, I have lost a lot of weight and kept it off

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2014

Flavor Name: VanillaVerified Purchase

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 uses
The blendtec designer 625 blender with 4 sided jar
Any powerful blender will work
4 oz of POM juice POM Wonderful Pomegranate Cherry, 100% Juice
2 oz of lemon concentrate (gives fruit smoothies a jolly rancher effect) [[ASIN:B00ICT8NMI 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. When I had a ninja, the liquid had to be filled to the top of the greens at the least.
3 scoops orgain vanilla protein powder (that makes 33 grams of protein for the full pitcher of smoothie)
2 handfuls of fresh organic power greens, baby spinach will work great too.
2 handfuls of organic frozen strawberries
1 handful frozen blackberry, raspberry, blueberry combo
This will make a full jar of smoothie. 48 ounces I think. 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.

Deliciously Nutritious: Orgain Organic Vegan Protein Powder

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2024

Flavor Name: VanillaVerified Purchase

I recently discovered Orgain Organic Vegan Protein Powder in Vanilla Bean, and I couldn't be happier with my find! With 21g of plant-based protein per serving, this powder is an excellent way to fuel my body after workouts or as a mid-day snack. What's more, it's gluten-free, dairy-free, lactose-free, and soy-free, making it suitable for various dietary needs. The fact that it has no sugar added is a huge plus for me, as I'm always conscious of my sugar intake. I love how versatile this powder is - whether blended into smoothies, mixed with almond milk, or added to baking recipes, it adds a delicious vanilla flavor and creamy texture. Plus, knowing it's kosher-certified adds another layer of trust. If you're in search of a high-quality, nutritious protein powder that's also incredibly tasty, look no further than Orgain Organic Vegan Protein Powder in Vanilla Bean!

Flavor Lacking

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2024

Flavor Name: Pumpkin SpiceVerified Purchase

My Mother taught us that "IF IT TASTES GOOD, SPIT IT OUT, AND IF IT TASTES BAD, IT'S GOOD FOR YOU". LOL....
so all my life I knew that. Consequently, my expectations will remain LOW.
Bought 4 of these to try out for about a month, to see how it reacts to my digestive tract.
Have been on Protein Powders for over 12 years.
Well about 2 months ago my everyday 12 year protein powder was re-designed into something I do not want. Price increased as well. SO on the lookout for something that works for me and a sensitive digestion system. Most of them either bind me up or cause the backdoor trots.
Flavor helps in getting it swallowed, and when I have to add more Spices, or another Protein Powder to be able to swallow it...then it is LACKING.
I daily add Ceylon Cinnamon and Nutmeg to any Protein Powder I drink for immune system aid. This Pumpkin Spice was really lacking.
I had to also add King Arthurs CHAI baking Spice, and had to add 3 TBLS to 2 of the 1 lb containers. Mixed in a larger container, give it a good shake and this helped greatly. I can swallow it down, and get my supplements and pills down with it. THAT IS THE POINT.

This protein powder doesn't work well in keeping the Hunger down as my 12 Year did. I could actually keep busy during the day with high energy with no food til dinner. I never needed to feel like I needed an afternoon break or nap from a sugar issue down time. It was a GC Control and worked fantastic for 12 years. This Powder has a pretty good Stevia Aftertaste that I do not like. Since I bought 4 containers, I am stuck to finish them. Then will try something else.
Honestly, it has to be difficult to be a "designer of protein powders" to try and Please the Masses and we the masses all have different taste buds, ideas, and digestive systems.

Pretty decent for Protein if you can’t have no type of dairy. I make very good smoothies and shakes with this and each turns out very tasty with the right ingredients. Can’t have sugar either. Only two negatives it’s too expensive and zero flavor. Add some zero sugar strawberry preserves into them and it surely will taste as if sugar was added. The container does last long due to I make either one maybe 2-3 per week. I thank my son for pointing this out to me as he too cannot have dairy. Great product to get that protein in.

Overall, I liked this protein powder in general -it had a nice flavor, it was light, it came in a larger container and it had a larger amount of protein than many others. However, the powder did not disintegrate...and was chalky when you added it to things...and the container was only 3/4 full.

Just started my new protein diet and I had already bought the vanilla one from this company and I wanted to try something different. I love Froot Loops so I was imagining it would taste like that and it does. Usually just some milk and water and it’s delicious sometimes I add fruit like mango or strawberry But I love it. You also get a lot of vanilla when I bought from Walmart and it was more expensive. You get a lot of protein powder for the price. It was worth it. This will be a repeat product for me. if you’re making like a Small regular size movie out would just add one scoop so it’s not too much protein but if it’s a large one, then I guess two would be OK

I've been using this particular brand for several months now. I've tried other protein powders but this one mixes easily even in cold water. The flavor is very faint and not overly sweet. This makes it perfect for mixing with vegetable juices to make a lovely smoothy.
