Title: 21 grams of vegan protein w/ branched chain amio acids, I have lost a lot of weight and kept it off
Review: 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. 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 strawberries1 handful frozen blackberry, raspberry, blueberry comboThis 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.

Title: For any vegetarian or vegan looking to effortlessly bridge the protein gap
Review: A Game-Changer for This Vegetarian’s Daily Protein GoalsAs someone who follows a vegetarian diet, meeting my daily protein needs has always been a conscious effort—not always easy with whole foods alone, especially on busy days. This organic vegan protein powder has been an absolute nutritional lifesaver and a delicious one at that.Why I Needed This & Why It Works:My search was for a clean, plant-based protein that could help me:Recover effectively after workouts.Maintain energy and satiety throughout the day.Ensure I’m getting complete amino acids without relying on dairy or eggs.This powder delivers on all fronts. The organic certification was a major draw, ensuring I’m not ingesting pesticides or GMOs with my health boost. It mixes beautifully into my morning smoothies, creating a rich, creamy texture without the chalky or gritty aftertaste I’ve experienced with other brands.My Daily Routine:My favorite way to use it is in a post-workout smoothie with banana, spinach, and almond milk. It keeps me full for hours and my muscles feel genuinely recovered. I’ve also started adding a scoop to my oatmeal, which transforms it into a powerhouse breakfast that fuels my entire morning.The Bottom Line:For any vegetarian or vegan looking to effortlessly bridge the protein gap, this product is a must-try. It’s a convenient, high-quality, and tasty foundation for my daily nutrition. It has taken the guesswork and effort out of getting enough protein, and for that, it earns a solid five stars. My only regret is not finding it sooner!

Title: It’s the best protein powder out there.
Review: This organic protein powder is some of the best around; in fact, it’s the only kind I buy. It’s got a good flavor, not overwhelming in any way. It mixes well, and I mean, what can I say, it’s good.

Title: Easy to drink but chalky, gritty, not too sweet
Review: Not too sweet when using half water half milk which is what I wanted, but has a chalky taste for sure. Also gritty texture when shaken as seen in the picture. Still gonna finish it because it light on my stomach and taste buds. But NOT good for taste searching people, doesn’t taste like a vanilla shake like other protein powders

Title: Surprisingly Yummy Vanilla – Even for Non-Vanilla Fans! Dairy-Free & Gentle
Review: I’m not usually a vanilla fan, but this Orgain Vanilla Protein Powder was surprisingly yummy—especially mixed with fruit in smoothies! I love that it’s dairy-free and plant-based, and it doesn’t upset my stomach at all (no bloating or issues like some others). Great clean ingredients, smooth texture, and actually enjoyable taste. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a gentle, tasty vegan option!

Title: Great value size for the price and Kosher
Review: This size and price is better here on amazon than it is even in Costco, more so if you set it to regular delivery through subscribe and save. The vanilla flavor is rich and smooth, making it a treat to look forward to each morning. Mixes effortlessly with almond milk, creating a creamy shake without any clumps. Provides a substantial 21g of plant-based protein per serving, keeping him full and energized throughout the day. This is usually all he eats all day long until dinner so its a pretty effective additive to a daily shake. Contains 6g of prebiotic fiber, which has been great for digestion and overall gut health. The clean, organic ingredients align perfectly with our health-conscious lifestyle. It’s on the pricier side compared to some other protein powders, but the quality justifies the cost and if you use it regularly set it to automatic to save a bit more.

Title: DELICIOUS
Review: I’ve tried several plant-based protein powders, and this one is one of my favorites. The vanilla flavor is smooth and not overly sweet. It mixes well with water, almond milk, or in smoothies without clumping.I also like that it’s organic and vegan, and it doesn’t upset my stomach like some other protein powders do. Great option for a quick breakfast or post-workout shake. I’ll definitely repurchase!

Review: very good improved formulation, nice flavour but a bit subjective I guess. Expensive yes, but good value if your training or wanting to take a wide variation of healthy nutritional supplements.

Review: Orgain Organic Plant-Based Protein Powder is a dream come true for anyone who wants to stay healthy without sacrificing taste (or their stomach lining). The Vanilla Bean flavor is smooth, not overly sweet, and blends beautifully into smoothies, oatmeal, or even just water—no chalky aftertaste, which is a big win for a plant-based powder.With 21g of protein per serving, low net carbs, and zero added sugar, it’s perfect for fueling your workouts or just keeping you full between meals. Plus, it’s free of dairy, soy, and gluten, making it a safe choice for pretty much everyone (including your picky vegan friend).Downside? It can clump if you don’t blend it well, so shake it like you mean it—or better yet, use a blender. Also, the powder is a bit dense, so the scooper tends to bury itself like it’s hiding from you.Overall, this protein powder is a solid, clean, and delicious addition to your routine. Whether you’re an athlete, a busy parent, or just someone trying to eat better, it’s got your back.4.8/5
