Dr. Mercola Miracle Whey, Vanilla, 16 Ounce

LOVE IT! It you take in account the ingredients and the flavor and freshness...It is the best tasting whey protein powder out there! I like the vanilla because not only it is so versatile to bake with and make low carb treats out of it is awesome in a "milkshake". For variety I use the banana flavor and also the Chocolate (with chocolate almond milk and a raw egg added it tastes JUST LIKE a Wendy's milkshake!!! YUM....not very low carb but it works for an occasional treat!) Back to the vanilla; I have two recipes to share. The easy one is... a raw egg (from a local free range source) one scoop of Mercola vanilla (yes one is all I ever need) and 2C of sweetened coconut or almond-coconut (silk brand). Put in a shaker cup or blender and CHEERS to you! A more complex recipe....1/2 banana and several blueberries or strawberries, 1 T of pure vanilla extract (not artificial), 3T unsweetened coconut flakes, 1 scoop of Mercola Vanilla or omit the banana and use banana whey, 3 cups of sweetened coconut milk.1 raw egg, Ice if necessary. Blend.A personal note: I add a raw egg for flavor and health benefits. No need to comment if your opinion on eggs differs. My family has been doing this for 10 years in 2 different locations with both farm raised and store bought free range eggs. You have a greater chance of getting sick from a tick or from big city pollution than having any problem with eggs. The flavor with an egg is kinda similar to raw cake batter. I haven't even seen an independent study out there that ONLY tests eggs so the cholesterol being raised in my opinion is a myth. But each to his own....if you want to try it, enjoy, if not skip the egg.You can't go wrong with Mercola Vanilla if you are wanting to get and try the best tasting out there. It is a bit pricey but defiantly worth it and depending on your needs, you can use one scoop instead of two like I do.

I’ve only had one serving of it but i really like it so far. The powder is very fine so the shake is not “grainy” in texture, which is not a problem but it was a noticeable difference. The flavor is better than i expected. It actually did keep me full from 7am to 1pm. Ill probably sprinkle a little cinammon next time to switch up the flavor. I would continue to purchase & recommend this product.

Protein taste good

For me the taste of this just did not meet expectations. I'm a huge fan & reader of Dr. Mercola's and was excited to get his protein here on Amazon. Just got it in today and tasted a sample dry. Tasted good but oddly familiar. Turns out it reminded me of powdered milk I had as a teen and in the military - just as one reviewer posted above.I mixed in a shaker with cold water and could not drink it. The first swig had unmixed crystals, which when crushed/dissolved in my mouth left a very bland taste - similar to unflavored BCAA powders. One more swig after adding another scoop to be sure and I definitely will not drink this. If mixed with milk it might taste very good, but I'm avoiding lactose where possible, so that's out.Bottom line - I'm sticking with the WHEY Isolates or other brands that mix very well with water or other drinks and taste good (ON Hydro Whey Vanilla is the best I've found so far).Still a fan of the doc, but not of this product.

I'm a big fan of Dr. Mercola's health knowledge and such, and I was in the market for a good whey protein because most are loaded with Sucralose, of which I'm allergic. I'm used to terrible tasting protein drinks and juicing things like beets, so to me, the taste is pretty good. If you're not used to protein shakes and drinks then you may be in for a little surprise, but they are an acquired taste. I don't have any complaints about the product per se, except for the fact that you don't get much for the money. I understand the quality of the product, I really do, but I find myself not drinking my shakes as much as I'd like because I don't want to spend more money so quickly. I'm not as cheap as I am broke, but care about my health.To break it down: Good quality product, good quality ingredients, only 11 or so servings per container, kind of expensive considering the the amount you get.

The ingredients are not as advertised. The listed ingredients were whey protein concentrate, sunflower lecithin, and Luo Han Guo juice. The ingredients on the nutrition facts label lists: whey protein concentrate, digestive resistant maltodextrin, sweet whey, nonfat dry milk, natural flavor, guar gum, sunflower lecithin, Luo Han Guo juice, medium chain triglycerides, and arabinogalactan. Not to mention that there is a sticker on it which says that "This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm." I would return it, but this is not eligible for return. I am very disappointed.

I love this protein powder! I've never been a big fan of protein supplements because of the horrible taste. My yoga instructor recommended this product and I have been so happy with it! I use it right after a demanding hot yoga class and it tastes great! You could probably mix it in a smoothie, but it tastes great alone. I'm a fan of Mercola and many of his principles, so it lines up with my natural and organic lifestyle.

This whey protein is perfect for my elderly mother who needs to restore muscle mass, but has almost no appetite. She loves the whey protein shakes her nurse makes for her every evening, using two scoops of vanilla protein powder. Mom says it tastes just like a malted. I'm so pleased to know she is now consuming 40 grams of protein each day.
