OWYN Only What You Need Plant-Based Protein Powder, Smooth Vanilla, 1.05 lbs

I use this 1 scoop in the AM in my Breakfast smoothie and 1 scoop in the PM as a Pudding Snack to take my meds with. I don't think it has the perfect flavor all by itself but it is not bad at all and I am not complaining when I get so much good out of using it. It definitely can leave a after taste but I do not find it too hard to handle. I have tried a few others and this is easy to mix, is definitely tastier than most and is a decent price for a natural and healthy protein powder. I enjoy both the chocolate and Vanilla and buy both so I can trade them out to have variety. The way I handle the vitamin taste is to make up recipes for things I would normally crave like Pineapple upside down cake or chocolate brownies!!! I add 1 scoop of either chocolate or vanilla to 8 oz of almond or coconut milk and add 1/2 Avocado (better than banana with more omega, less sugars more nutrients and thickens beautifully if you like spoonfuls of goodness rather than drinking breakfast) and some kale or spinach to bump up the nutrient value,without changing the taste. Then, along with that I use a chosen flavor additive or 2 from the list and think about what spices or sweeteners would bring out the desired flavor I most want. Pumpkin Puree , Frozem Berries or Peacehes/Pineapple/Mango/ Papaya, (to get it icy cold without ice) Ground Oatmeal. Almond/ Other Nut Butter, Maple Syrup or Honey, Cacao Nibs, Caramel/Mint/Other flavorings, chopped Nuts, dried Figs, Cinnamon/other spices, chia seeds, etc. And, for my PM meds I make a pudding with 1 scoop of protein mix and 2 TBSP of Almond/Coconut Milk, with or without flavor additives. One of my favorites is Vanilla with mint flavoring and cacao nibs (like a mint chocolate ice cream) or Chocolate with Almond Butter and Cacao Nibs for a Reesces Peanut Butter Cup affect. I am happily having fun using this wonderful protein mix! I think the price is fair on the vanilla for sure but am not exactly sure why we are being gouged for chocolate flavoring. I may end up just getting vanilla and adding my own cocoa since it seems to keep going up in price.

I read the reviews after I got my order 🫣yesterday. It’s sweet.. which was unexpected. I made it in a regular cup with 8 oz of milk (stirred with a fork) it has a slight thickness to it alone but haven’t tried it with fruit yet. It’s easy to clean with 20 grams of protein to keep you fuller longer depending what you eat with it. It’s easy to use and sometimes I add two shots of decaf and it’s like a Starbucks latte🤌🏾. I will be getting this from now on!🥰It smells heavenly to me .. like a hint of maple syrup or birthday cake and tasted delicious!! It’s not gritty and has no after taste. My teens liked it as well which is shocking lol. The container was pretty full. I have had no digestive issues.

I bought this protein powder in the hopes that I could get back into smoothies. I didn't want to go the milk protein route because of GI issues that can give me (depends on the brand as to how much), so I tried this. The flavor is actually pretty good, it blends well and it doesn't feel chalky. My main complaint with it is how sickly sweet it is. I actually prefer chocolate flavor, so I put 7 ounces of unsweetened cocoa powder into the container and shook vigorously until the cocoa was evenly mixed throughout the powder. It tastes amazing and it cut down on the overly sweet issue a good bit. (I do have to put a bit more water into the mix because cocoa powder sucks up huge amounts of liquid.) I will definitely keep buying this on a subscription basis. It does what it's supposed to do, doesn't taste weird or chemical, and I can turn it into a chocolate drink easily.

Tastes like chalk. No option to get a refund if you don't like it. The container size and how much cones in it, makes no sense. My container has less than half in it..... This is just my honest opinion. Someone else might like it. Sicko

I really like this brand and have bought their pre-mixed shakes for a while now. It's good stuff that helps balance out my diet and it doesn't have that weird synthetic taste of lot of other replacement shakes do. I figured I'd try their powder since it's gotta be more economical but the thing showed up over half empty! I took that picture after opening it. I couldn't believe it! The actual powder itself is still really good and I use it in some foods and in shakes and such. I'm just really disappointed in how little came with the jar of it's size, like c'mon...

It’s great! I’m allergic to cow’s milk, so almond milk is my go to with OWYN. It tastes good, no clumping, it’s not thick & clumpy, if it is just add more milk or if you prefer water, it doesn’t make me gassy. It’s a great meal or snack, add you favorite fruit too! Enjoy!!! Great protein that we need!

I meant to write this review sooner so Owyn, please forgive me :) I found out about Owyn through one of their influencer partnerships (Serena Kerrigan what's good) advertising their on the go protein shakes. I'm not a huge fan, I like making my own at home. What I did love is that it was free of the top 8 allergens, one being NUTS! I have a moderate nut allergy and the amount of protein bars and shakes that have nuts/nut butters etc is probably 95% of them. I started buying their delicious protein bars without being scared of getting an allergic reaction or not reading the label correctly. I love what the brand is doing and I will continue to support them! Onto the powder, I loved the protein bars so much and the protein powder had very similar ingredients. The powder is very smooth, easy to dissolve and blend with and I have a few pointers on getting the perfect protein shake. One thing, I don't love monk fruit extract (used to sweeten) and notice it just has a VERY strong taste and one that I personally think is a bit strong. My recipe combats that so it isn't overpowering. The ingredients are clean and I feel confident using their brand. The vanilla flavor is very versatile: bake, shakes, oatmeal etc. I like my shakes not too sweet and they need be a color I can stand looking at (no more weird brown or gray shakes for me... I find that it's hard for me to want to drink them lol!) Berry shake (Go-to, doesn't taste overly sweet and isn't overly "milky" if you will, I prefer to use majority water to cut the excess calories) 2 scoops protein powder 1- 1 1/2 cup of water (more or less depending on how much shake you want) 1/4 cup milk (I use oat) 1 1/2 cups of frozen raspberries 1/2 a banana (if you need the added calories/vitamins/fullness) 4-5 ice cubes Green smoothie (fancy, easy way to get your greens in. I do feel like the powder overpowers this one so the vanilla/monk fruit taste is much stronger than the berry one) 2 scoops protein powder 1 - 1 1/2 cups water 1/4 cup of milk 1 cup of frozen mango 1 cup of spinach 1/2 banana (if you want) 3-5 ice cubes Blend and enjoy and keep supporting Owyn! I do try to buy from the website or from local retailers vs Amazon and whole foods when I can.

I had a different protein powder by OWYN which was fine, but This product is SO gritty. It’s gross.

It functioned, mostly. Terrible taste. The shaker didn't like it. Not again.

Tastes absolutely disgusting - buy if you want to feel like u r drinking powdered plastic

Has a really strange taste and huge container used to package. Only about half full. Does fill you up though and is gluten free.
