Primal Kitchen Primal Fuel Vanilla Coconut Whey Protein Drink Mix, Gluten and Soy Free, 1.85 Pounds

We've been using this for years and love it. It blends well, has a good taste, but doesn't taste like fake sugar. Definitely our go-to protein powder, along with the chocolate flavor. Love the clean ingredients and minimal sugar.

I usually get the vanilla and was hesitant to try the chocolate. I will use it in shakes, in coffee, on its own either almond milk, and it always tastes great. You can taste some of the coconut, but it’s ever so slight and not at all dominant. I like the healthy dose of fats included, since I never seem to get enough. It’s slightly sweet (like cuts the bitterness of coffee) without being overwhelming and with no added sugar. It blends smoothly in cold and hot liquids, without a lot of stirring or shaking required. It’s not at all gritty like some powders I’ve tried. I’m a big fan!!

I was looking for a healthier alternative to powdered coffee creamer. This stuff has protein and a great flavor. The down side is it doesn't mix easily with hot coffee, clumping significantly. I have learned to add a small amount of coffee slowly to the powder, mix into a slurry, then add the rest of the coffee a little at a time. I then run the mixed blend over a small strainer to remove small undissolved clumps. Not a deal killer, and worth it for me, but don't expect this stuff to dissolve smoothly. If you enjoy the flavor, but don't want to clumping issues, pay a little more for their Collagen peptide fuel.

This has quality ingredients and I like the addition of the prebiotic fibers (inulin and Konjac). I like the monk fruit and Stevia for sweetening without sneaking in Sucralose or Erythritol. The one thing that would make this a 5 star is actual vanilla and not "Natural Vanilla Flavor" which we know isn't all that natural and doesn't taste all that natural. Nevertheless this is the most versatile flavor because it can be added to anything.

Love this. No nasty aftertaste from the protien.

I had been buying this for my morning protein shakes for about 6 months before they changed the formula. It was great! Smooth and tasty and dissolved perfectly in almond milk. I felt full all morning and liked the recyclable packaging. When my latest tub arrived in April, I contacted customer service because it was inedible. I thought I had gotten a bad batch or it was a mistake. There were white chunks that didn't dissolve and made it disgusting to drink. Customer service said this was not a mistake, this was their new formula, and recommended putting the powder in a food processor to break up the chunks. Not wanting to waste my money, I put some in my Magic Bullet blender since I don't own a food processor to try to break down those rock-hard chunks so I could at least use what I'd bought. It didn't make one bit of difference. This company has ruined what was used to be a great product and lost my business.

If I get a protein powder or meal replacement, I usually opt for chocolate. Normally the vanilla flavor tastes too artificial or just plain gross. Primal Fuel Vanilla is definitely the exception. I love this stuff. I normally mix it in with some plain greek yogurt. It dissolves completely, not at all gritty, and adds this lovely thick creamy texture to the yogurt. Add some berries and almond slivers to take it to the next level. I've mixed it into smoothies and it's just as good. I only ever really need one scoop though. It's delicious and I prefer it over the chocolate Primal Fuel. I've never gotten any stomach issues from consuming this. I personally love the taste, doesn't have a "sugar-free" aftertaste, but taste is completely subjective. It's definitely worth a try, especially if you've had bad experiences with vanilla flavored powders. I love that it's a meal replacement and to simply a protein powder though it has 10 g of protein per scoop. I don't know if it's supposed to taste like coconut, but it doesn't which isn't a plus or minus for me.

Flavor is fine, I don’t love the coconut but it’s not horrible or over powering just not my favorite flavor. I appreciate the clean ingredients which is why I purchased this and I had read it blends well in coffee. N O P E. It takes good in coffee but does not dissolve well even with a frother. I have to wait until it all settles to drink it. Of course I could blend it into a smoothie and it works fine for that but I bought it to put in my coffee.

Great taste, clean protein!

You have to like the taste of coconut, delicious!

Good and not too sweet! Not too thick\ Great!
