Our 3.5-Year Quest For The Perfect Protein Powder — And We Finally Found It!

As someone who's worked in the health and wellness industry for years, I thought I had seen and tried it all.

Trust me, we’ve tried everything. From gritty plant proteins to chalky whey blends, our kitchen became a testing ground for (no less than) 15 different brands. 

I had nearly given up on the search until I joined mindbodygreen. As the Senior Lifecycle Marketing Manager, it's a dream to work for a company that aligns with my personal wellness values. 

I know it might sound cliché, but I would never endorse something I didn’t love or truly believe in—and that’s where our grass-fed whey protein isolate+ comes in.

From the first sip, I knew this was different. Each serving of this powder provides 25 grams of bioavailable protein, clean ingredients (just 6 total!), and no artificial sweeteners or funky fillers.

It's also low in lactose and free of casein, which means I avoid the unwanted bloating and stomach upset that other brands put me through.* 

And yes, it’s sourced from happy, grass-fed cows (we took our time finding the best!). 

This is a product I could stand behind not just for work but for my own health and my family’s—I’m hooked. 

The best part? My husband is also obsessed and my kids absolutely love it! 

Whether it's the vanilla or chocolate flavor, both blend seamlessly into our smoothies—making them thicker, richer, and much higher protein than they were before. 

The real win is seeing our children sip their little smoothie cups with big smiles. I’m happy to say that these smoothies have officially become a family affair.  

Getting enough protein not only supports lean muscle mass and recovery but also keeps us full and energized—which is essential when you’ve got little ones and a hectic schedule.* 

Whether you’re an athlete, a parent, or just looking to increase your daily protein intake, this protein powder is for you.

The takeaway

I've been telling anyone who'll listen—this stuff is the real deal.
