Santa Cruz Paleo Beef Isolate Protein Powder, Au Naturale, Rich in Collagen Peptides, Gluten Free, Keto, Sugar Free, Paleo, 20g Grass Fed Protein Per Serving, Low Calorie Clean Protein Powder, 0.92 Lb

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Amazing flavor, ingredients are superior, doesnt hurt my stomach/easy to digest, great quality. I mix it with my coffee daily

Good clean protein. Love the actual cacao powder as opposed to the cocoa powder you typically see, the salt content also adds some benefits as well as a little more depth to the cacao flavor. My 7 year old loves it too. I take it with the Santa Cruz creatine almost every morning.

Solid stuff. The horchata flavor is much better than the natural flavor, which tastes a bit funky but I understand that it’s beef isolate. This is a good addition to adding variety to protein shakes outside of the regular whey

After looking into the company, I decided to try their protein powder as I’ve been looking for alternatives to non-dairy protein powders, other than vegan options. Opened it up, and it smelled like sugar cookies. This seemed promising. Added recommended amount of water (10oz) and added a scoop.Right off the bat, it does Not dissolve or even mix with the water. Even using an electric mixer on top of shaking did nothing to break it down enough to be smooth to drink. It was clumpy and reminded me of when you accidentally get collagen powder on slightly wet hands (that sticky, grainy feeling) but never breaks down because of whatever else they have in there that makes it impossible to fully dissolve. I tried multiple attempts, and wanted to like this but each experience was the same.Now I’ve had chunky drinks before, and am willing to power through, but what really makes it unbearable is the perfume like fragrance that hits you at your first sip. I don’t know what goes wrong once water is added, but it completely changes the smell. The first sip is even more shocking to the system as you are hit with a sickeningly sweet yet chemically flavor due to too much clove and stevia, and whatever else is in “natural flavor”. Being the last ingredient, I had hoped the stevia flavor wasn’t going to be a huge part of the flavor profile, but based on the flavor you would have thought it was first. Major disappointment.Honestly, just don’t do it. Maybe their other flavors are better, but save your garbage can the space and skip over this one.

tastes soo good and super good quality

It has a strong cinnamon taste compared to most homemade horchata but it taste good but it doesn’t really mix easily so you have to shake or blend it for a while

The chocolate flavor is delicious when made with whole or 2% grass-fed milk. The only downside I can come up with is that it doesn’t dissolve quickly. You have to shake it and let it sit for a minute, shake again and let it sit, and repeat a few more times but it mixes all the way in eventually. That might be annoying for some people but I think it’s definitely worth waiting a few minutes! I bought it for the fact that it’s made with beef isolate, stevia and just a few other simple ingredients, and not whey protein or a ton of sugar. Will definitely continue to buy even though it’s pretty spendy.

I’m disappointed :/ I was really looking forward to trying this protein, but my bag came damaged. The flavor was weird and when I went to contact Amazon, I was sent to contact Santa Cruz Paleo directly. Yet, SCP told me to contact Amazon! It’s unfortunate that I wasted $50 for a damaged product, and no one can seem to help me out.
