New Recipe isn’t close to the same
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I eat CSE every morning in oatmeal. I have for probably 10 years now. I started back when they only had chocolate and vanilla in the giant tubs. I get trying to make it cleaner but it’s not even close to the same. It’s not as sweet, it doesn’t mix as well in oats, and it barely tastes like vanilla anymore. I’m super bummed because this was my first bag of the new formula and it was an immediate noticeable difference. This was my comfort breakfast food and now I’m sad. I’ll take any leftover old formula bags y’all have hanging out, but likely won’t buy the new one again (as much as it breaks my heart).

NOT the same formula, too different for me.
This WAS my go to protein powder, but they changed the formula and it’s not the same at all. Texture is way off, has aftertaste and mixes totally different. I no longer recommend this product.

New formula isn't good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using these proteins to make Ninja Creamis since I got the machine in the fall. Vanilla was my favorite. When I heard about the ingredient change, I was looking forward to the cleaner recipe. However, I got my first bag of the new recipe, and I just don't enjoy the taste nearly as much. Really disappointed and don't know if I'll keep using this or try something else.

New formula is horrible
Why did you have to go and change something that was already amazing?? The new formula tastes nothing like the old formula. It was horrible. They took the sweetness away which is what I loved so much about it, it didn't have that protein powder taste. Now it does. I'm so sad. Now I have to find a new protein powder

Please fix packaging!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We LOVE this protein, the best we’ve ever tried. But please get better packaging! The zipper top is so difficult to close, and doesn’t always seal. This is so problematic for people living in humid places!

Love it!
I wasn’t sure how the vanilla protein would taste compared to my normal chocolate peanut butter one that I was used to, but it is SO good and creamy—I’m obsessed! I like that it’s more versatile for other recipes too. I’m hooked now!

Protein shake
My overall experience is that this shake doesn't make my stomach, belly pain. Also I found out that I have IBS-took years for Dr's to diagnose me. But with clean simple, collagen powders I can function better. I'm glad my Nutritionist recommended this. It's a little pricey for me, but its delicious and I add fruit to it, keeps me full longer..

Problems mixing completely
I use the vanilla powder and chocolate peanut butter. When I use my shaker bottle the chocolate always mixes well when I shake for 30-60 sec. But the vanilla is always in clumps still when I shake for the same amount of time. Wondering if anyone else has had the same issues with the Vanilla powder?

Strange Odor & Taste
I purchased this protein a few months ago and instantly fell in love. The consistency is good, but most importantly the taste was phenomenal. I ordered a second bag and unfortunately this time around, I was disappointed. There was a different smell and taste to this bag. I ordered the exact same product so I was a bit confused and kept giving it a chance. Sadly, it's to the point where this spoiled smell makes me gag and I can no longer use it. I will have to continue my protein search. Bummer because I thought I found a winner, but at this price point, I'm nervous to keep taking chances.

I'm extremely pleased
This is my favorite protein powder for clean, simple ingredients. I make my protein coffee with it and it's delicious. I use less than a full scoop but I make multiple protein coffees throughout the day. Yummy and blends in really well with my frother. You have to add it to the liquid vs. the liquid to the powder to get it to be more.. Clump free. 😁 Hope this helps! I can't wait to try other flavors.

Simply the BEST
Not only does CSE taste fantastic, it keeps me satisfied for hours and is easy on my sensitive stomach. I managed to lose and keep it off for two years keeping CSE protein powder a breakfast staple!

The best protein powder out there!
Seriously the best tasting protein powder on the market! It mixes so well and reminds me of old fashion vanilla ice cream.

New Formula Tastes Awful
I used to drink a shake every single day. They’ve reformulated, and it tastes terrible now. I hate it because the old formula tasted so good!

Too artificial
Not good. The sweeteners are way to forward and I can’t even drink it.

Such a great product I’m very picky with my protein powders because so many are chalky and gross but these proteins are amazing!!
