Designer Wellness, Designer Whey, Natural Whey Protein Powder with Probiotics, Fiber, and Key B-Vitamins for Energy, Gluten-Free, Summer Strawberry, 2 lb

I've been a fan of Designer cupcake flavor but opted to try this product as an alternative. Wow! I like it even better. This is a sweet, tasty, easy to dissolve protein powder.

I have tried many protein powders and liquid ready to drink protein shakes. Designer Whey Protein is great tasting. It truly is the best. Which I could still buy it locally at a health food store, but all have discontinuedselling it. Thankfully Amazon to the rescue. Designer Whey Protein is the best!

Gourmet Chocolate: Blends ok. I have better results if I shake it and then let it sit in the fridge or on counter for a while. That also improves the flavor because otherwise it has a strange after taste that actually gives me a headache/makes me a bit nauseated. No idea why that is.The protein response is definitely legit, though, so I just push through (and try to make it a habit to shake in advance!).The chocolate bag I have is has one of those hook and loop style closurea which is a bit strange and some product is stuck between the hooks and loops but does allow me to seal the bag.French Vanilla: Blends well. Flavor is pretty minimal. For money, as long as I feel like I'm actually ingesting protein, I'll say it's a win - I will update if it seems the vanilla is not as effective as the chocolate. UPDATE: definitely a solid recovery product so I will keep rolling with it. However, it is VERY FROTHY when you shake it so I add a bit of high quality lemon or orange flavored fish oil (since I need the omegas anyway) and that fixes both the froth issues and the lack of flavor issue.The "zipper" part of the French Vanilla bag is a traditional plastic bag seal and it separated (or was already separated) when I first opened the bag. Living in FL humidity, this is less than ideal. I will likely transfer it to a container once my son finishes his current protein powder that is a different brand.

Edit: Immediately after my initial review, the customer service team reached out to apologize for my experience and tell me they had already refunded the money for both purchases that I was unsatisfied with. I didn't even have to contact them or ask them anything. I have since switched back to my favorite cookies and cream flavor from Designer Lite and will continue to buy it as long as it is available. Thank you for correcting the bad experience with great service.I have been buying this brand of powder for several years now, specifically the cookies and cream designer lite. I have gotten many friends and coworkers hooked on it as well, it's my absolute favorite! This is a trusted brand for me so I decided to check out some of their other products and order this one plus the toffee collagen... I'm not sure what the difference is but they both taste HORRENDOUS!!! I was honestly shocked because they nailed the flavor of the cookies and cream one but these ones are just intolerable for me. Very disappointed they are not returnable or atleast exchangeable for the cookies and cream one- I paid a lot of money for them.

This protein is low in sugar and delivers all the nutrients that is needed!

I can say without a doubt that this is the worst tasting protein powder I have ever tasted. I have had strawberry protein powder from another company and LOVED it. This tastes like rinse water from a previous strawberry shake. There is almost no strawberry flavor to it. I will not buy this again, and am looking for a replacement so I can throw the rest of what I have away.

4lb French Vanilla review. My first time using Designer Whey, after years of using ON brand and then a year or two of not using supplemental protein. I was almost going to purchase an unflavored whey which I had done once before to avoid sweeteners and fillers, but Designer Whey using only stevia seemed okay. Unflavored whey just has as dull milk flavor, whereas French Vanilla sounded like it would be a somewhat enjoyable treat.There's almost no flavor to this product. Some might consider that a good thing, but I was hoping for more. I mix only with water, so I'm not getting any help from other shake ingredients. Rather than buy this again, I would just go with an unflavored whey, since it tastes practically the same and I won't be paying for the stevia and flavoring and whatever else gets added in. I can't honestly say I taste any vanilla, and there's hardly any sweetness to it. For the flavor experience I'm getting with this, I'd rather just get plain whey.This product foams like crazy. Even using the lowest speed on my blender, you end up with half a glass of foam. My guess is that this is probably due to the stevia. (Dan Quinn says hi) All products foam a little bit but this is worse than what I've seen before.The ratio of product serving size to actual protein seems a bit low, with 31g of product for 20g protein. It would be worth it if that other 11g of stuff provided a rich vanilla flavor, but it doesn't. Even this 4lb container won't last very long when I'm using at least 1.5 to 2 servings every time to get enough protein. Other brands will have something like 24g protein in a 31g serving. So somehow there's a lackluster flavor despite having 4-5g less protein in each scoop. I suppose some of that is their prebiotics and probiotics and other additions, which sound like nice things to have, but not what I'm necessarily looking for in my protein powder, especially if that's why it costs more.Small gripe, but the scoop was buried deep in the container. Despite the fact that they have a patented little latch on the underside of the lid where you can conveniently hold the scoop. Cool idea, but the most useful time to implement it would be saving your customers that experience of having to create a cloud of protein dust as they dig for their scoop when they first open it. Although it probably wouldn't stay in place during shipping anyway, because the holder isn't exactly as good as it could be.Overall, for whatever reason I felt like this was a "higher class" protein purchase than I would have made in years past, but I see no reason I'd buy this again. Other brands might use Sucralose instead, but at least there's some semblance of the flavor that it claims to be. If you're already using a product like this and you think it tastes reasonably good, you're just one step away from using unflavored whey and saving money on the other ingredients.I don't hate it, it doesn't taste bad, it just doesn't taste good. It's a usable whey protein. If I ever had to use it again, I would. But probably not on purpose. This was my first experience with Designer Whey, and they didn't really win a new customer. If I ever use DW again, I'll be trying a different flavor.Pros:-Package design-Sweetened with stevia-Flip top lid-Scoop holder on the lid-Prebiotics & probioticsCons:-Hardly any noticeable flavor-Product creates lots of foam when mixed-20g protein per serving is lower than other brands

We make shakes with this powder and almond milk, plus usually a frozen banana. It’s smooth, tastes good, packed with protein and I can’t tell it’s low in sugar. We’re sold!
