Be Well by Kelly Vanilla Grass-Fed Beef Protein Powder

I have no idea why this protein powder doesn’t have 5 stars. It is my favorite protein powder ever. I have tried vanilla and chocolate and both are amazing. I always order from amazon and every bag has been consistent in quality and taste. I put it in smoothies, oatmeal, coffee, and I also tried Kelly’s recipe on her website for a walnut based cookie dough- it’s amazing. I have really loved putting it in my coffee, it blends super well. I froth 1 TBSP of the vanilla protein in some heated almond milk first and then add my pour over coffee afterward and froth again. It is SO GOOD! I’m currently using it while pregnant and love that it also includes collagen. It has been a super easy way for me to meet my protein goals. I also love that it doesn’t have any sugar in it besides, the monk fruit, but the taste is still amazing. My husband and 3 yr old love Be Well protein powders as well and I have also introduced it to other family members that have told me it is their new favorite protein powder. It’s a super great option for those who don’t tolerate whey based protein powders, like my husband. He digests this amazingly with zero issues. I also appreciate having a non-whey protein powder for myself as I recently learned that whey/dairy can cause acne in some individuals, like myself. Since cutting out dairy/whey, I have noticed a huge improvement in my skin. Overall, it’s a fantastic protein powder!

FINAL UPDATE: Okay Be Well has made me a customer for life. The fact that they were willing to send me a new product to try for free sold me on their customer service, but the Unflavored protein powder (my replacement) is incredible. I used it in overnight oats and would have NO idea that there’s protein powder in it. If you’re sensitive to sweetness I would not recommend the Vanilla, but the Unflavored is amazing! UPDATE: So I just want to update my review to 5 stars because I think the customer service of this company is top notch. Within 24 hours of my review posting the company reached out to me and offered me a refund and a complementary replacement flavor. I decided to try the unflavored and will update if necessary. But honestly 10/10 on customer service. It’s rare a company goes so far above and beyond to insure their customers are satisfied with a product. ORIGINAL: So I’ve been trying this protein powder for a few months now and at first I thought this is just how protein powder is supposed to taste, but after looking at reviews again I think it’s just not for me. I’m guessing it’s the monk fruit extract? It’s unbearably sweet, and if I’m using it for anything other than smoothies I can’t stomach the taste. I love the simple ingredients, but I cannot stand the taste. It doesn’t taste like vanilla, it tastes like sweet chalk.

Unfortunately, this was the WORST tasting protein powder I have ever had. I appreciate the clean ingredients but it is ridiculously too sweet. I get that it's monk fruit sweetener but the level of sweetness does not correlate to a health product. It also has a very strong beefy aftertaste, almost like bone broth, and combined with the sweetness - it's just unpleasant. Tried to mask it with berries in a smoothie but I couldn't get past it. I wish it was unsweetened, then I could at least use it in soup or like a bone broth base. Very clumpy too.

Thoroughly enjoy this protein powder! It’s so hard to come by a clean protein that actually tastes good. I add it to my coffee every morning now! It dissolves easily & the protein quality is great. It does stick the to scoop a little which makes it a little messy to use but the size & quality of the bag is definitely worth the money.

This protein is decent Good ingredients Awful blend ability so it is chalky The taste is 8/10 No stomach issues Price for the protein is pretty normal for a the good quality protein No fillers no gums no stevia or artificial flavors so don’t expect some great tasting easy to mix protein. Just suck it up and drink it.

I wanted to try this protein when I was pregnant because of its clean ingredients. I’ve mixed it with yogurt, milk, water and it’s got a good consistency when blended…not great stirred and I don’t know about a shaker cup. It does leave me full and I feel safe using it while pregnant and have continued using it after. It is really sweet so I don’t like to mix fruit in with it but that’s my opinion.

UPDATE: their customer service reached out to me, they offered a refund AND a complimentary bag of the unflavored powder! I accepted and am really satisfied with it, it truly has no flavor or aftertaste!! I’ve been using it in all sorts of foods, smoothies, and even hot beverages. You do need to blend it for the texture to be right, just putting in a shaker bottle does not fully dissolve it, which is not an issue for me since I’m always adding fats and fiber to my protein for better absorption. Highly recommend the unflavored version, will buy it again! ORIGINAL: I was REALLY hoping this was going to be THE protein powder I would finally be loyal to. Unfortunately, the vanilla flavor is unbearably sweet. It does mix very well, doesn’t have any weird after taste, and has a great protein amount. Wondering if I should try the unflavored, but with no satisfaction guarantee or returns it feels like too much risk.

It doesn’t mix with water? So you end up with chunks like wet peanut butter floating in gelatinous soup. The “vanilla” flavor kind of reminds me of chocolate, but with broth up front. The aftertaste is metallic. 5 minutes after I opened it, I wish I could have my money back. Is this product a prank? How could someone sell this to innocent people? It’s inhumane. UPDATE: I just learned from this company that this is not AT ALL a “beef” protein product. It’s just collagen / bone broth protein, so this is false advertising and you are probably entitled to a refund if it was sold to you as “beef”. Here is their response to my question about the source: “This protein powder is not derived from dehydrated meat that is then ground into a fine powder. Our unique grass-fed beef protein isolate is derived from the extracted protein and amino acids from the fleshy bones, tendons, and joints of hormone- and antibiotic-free animals. As such, much of the naturally-occurring collagen inherent in these parts of the animal makes up a significant portion of the final finished powder. “Please find the typical amino acid profile below: “Typical Amino Acid Profile (Per Serving): Alanine 2.1g Arginine 1.8g Aspartic Acid 1.4g Cystine <0.1 Glutamic Acid 2.6g Glycine 4.8g Histidine 2.6g Hydroxyproline 2.5g Isoleucine 0.4g Leucine 0.9g Lysine 0.9g Methionine 0.2g Phenylalanine 0.6g Proline 2.9g Serine 0.8g Threonine 0.5g Tryptophan 0.1g Tyrosine 0.3g Valine 0.7g
