Carnivor Bioengineered Beef Protein Isolate, Vanilla Caramel, 3.9 Pound

Simply said, I love this protein and it's by far the best I've tried. I did whey for years, tried egg proteind powder, and even tried just eating lots of tuna and egg white omelettes. Decided to try the one thing I hadn't yet, beef, and I'm so glad I did. I do a scoop before and after my weight lifting sessions, and I get a slight push that lets me lift heavier with an extra rep. I noticed an increase in vascularity as well. I don't think it helps me recover faster than whey or egg. A huge advantage to this for me is that whey got me pretty bloated. Since I take it before a workout that was always pretty uncomfortable. And afterwards isn't as big of problem, it just always made me feel gross. I also noticed with whey, because of the dairy, I would get zits if I drank too much (that's just a me problem, but be aware if you drink a lot of milk and have acne) As far as flavor goes, I've tried the vanilla caramel and the strawberry. The strawberry is just OK, it tastes like a stale strawberry wafer. Love, love, love the vanilla caramel!!! :) It reminds me of the inside of a heath bar, or vanilla toffee coffee creamer, but not as sweet. As far as mixability goes, it does tend to glob up. My method to mix it nicely is to put about 1/4 cup water in a 16 oz shaker bottle, then the protein power, shake it real hard for about a minute, let it sit to dissolve ~2 minutes, shake again, and fill the rest of the shaker bottle with water and shake some more. It gets kind of foamy, so leave some room at the top. That'll get most (if not all) dissolved. If I have extra time, I mix it in the blender with some ice cubes. (Best tasting and most easily mixed method) Overall I'm noticing greater gains on this protein. Since it measures protein to calorie the same as whey, I chalk it up to the bonus anabolic benefits and the natural creatine. It could also be attributed to the fact I'm more comfortable during my workouts without the physical constraint of bloating, so I'm more comfortable to do more. I definitely recommend this for anyone who's plateaued on whey/casein/egg, gets zits/bloated from dairy, or just wants to try something different. So long as I keep lifting, this will be in my cupboard. ;)

Tastes great, mixes well with no clumping, minimal foam, and no gas or bloating like I’ve had with other protein orders. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a quality whey alternative.

Quite possibly the worst product I’ve ever tried. I bought a protein powder last month that was wonderful but expensive, redcon mre light. It was awesome tasting, blended perfectly and did its job. I was looking for a protein that was non dairy so I tried the redcon. Perfect except the high price tag. So looking for a cheaper alternative was a BIG mistake. Carnivor protein first off tastes and smells like dog food. Vanilla Carmel dog food that lingers well after you drink it. It blends terribly and worst of all it is super sticky for some reason. Just washing my mixer is a chore after blending this stuff. Unfortunately I bought a 4.5 pounder so I will be choking down 3 shakes a day just to get rid of it. Used water almond milk and coconut water to mix and neither was slightly tasty. You know that smell of an empty beef jerky bag? This protein smells stronger than that. Has a strange and overwhelming taste of what I can only imagine cheap dog food tastes like. My advice which I will be taking myself is to pay up for the quality. Redcon1! I shoulda never looked back after this one. Serves me right for cheaping out.

I don't know why some people complain about this product, I think it's amazing. I have tried a LOT of protein powders, and nearly all of them taste super funky, and most of them upset my stomach pretty badly. This powder is delicious, IMO, and doesn't give me any digestive upset. I tried the chocolate peanut butter, and wasn't a big fan, but it wasn't awful either. This vanilla caramel is downright yummy. This will be my go-to from now on.

This protein powder seemed like a good idea in that it had neither lactose nor the bad taste of pea powder. However, it also has a beefy bitter aftertaste that I couldn't ignore. So, I considered other uses than a standard protein shake. I have since discovered that in the chocolate flavor, it makes a great addition to already-cooked vegetable casseroles as long as I mix it in well with some added water and then reheat in the microwave. The beefiness fits in better and I can add a little steak or Worcestershire sauce for some added zing. Even the chocolate flavor provides a nice complement to the rest of the dish. In this application, it's a winner for me.

Honestly this is not a great flavor. It mixes well and I can understand how this might be beneficial as opposed to whey protein but it’s been hard to try to enjoy the flavor I got.

This product actually tastes pretty good. It mixes well. No complaints

If you can not do whey like me this is a great product and its yummy

Ottimo

Ottime proteine.

Same as I requested

Buone proteine della carne, anche se non totalmente "pure", ci sono all'interno diversi ingredienti che per me non le rendono al top. La solubilità è ottima, peccato per quel gusto un pò troppo dolciastro e quel retrogusto che rimane in bocca per ore di edulcorante.

non facilmente solubili, restano piccoli grumi, lento rilascio come le caseine, gusto buono, retrogusto lievemente amarognolo, decisamente troppa schiuma, ma questo è un mio gusto personale, utile in periodi di dieta ipocalorica.
