What is vanilla grass-fed whey protein?
Grass-fed whey protein is obtained from the milk of cows that have been allowed to graze naturally on lush green grass pastures, as opposed to being fed on grain. Their diet is 100% grass and so the cows are GMO-free, hormone free, happier, and healthier. This in turn means that their milk is far more nutritious, and it is also tastier as well. Grass-fed vanilla whey protein is sweetened naturally with Stevia, which is plant-based, and it is flavoured with 100% natural plant-based vanilla flavour. This particular form of whey is a concentrate and naturally high in lean muscle-promoting protein.
Grass-fed whey vs grain-fed
So, what’s the big deal about grass-fed whey protein? Why is grass-fed whey considered to be so beneficial when compared with grain-fed whey? Well, cattle that are fed on grains are often kept in feedlots which are designed to feed cattle in large masses. The cows are often kept in unsanitary conditions, and are fed with grains, usually soy or corn, which are GMOs which means that they have been genetically modified. So, the cattle eat a bland diet lacking in nutrients and are kept in unsanitary conditions and so they are often injected with antibiotics to help ensure they don’t become sick. Then there’s the fact that they may also be injected with hormones to make them bigger. Needless to say, the milk they produce is not of the finest quality. Cows that are grass-fed however, graze leisurely in large open spaces, they are kept in cleaner and nicer conditions, they are not fed with GMO ingredients, they are not injected with antibiotics or hormones, and the grass they consume is rich in nutrients. This means that they produce a tastier, and much more nutritious milk, which in turn produces a better-quality whey protein powder.
What are the benefits of vanilla grass-fed whey protein supplements?
Some of the most prominent benefits associated with consuming grass-fed vanilla whey protein include the following:
More nutritious
One of the main benefits of grass-fed over grain-fed whey is the fact that it is more nutritious. Because the cows graze on grass, free from GMOs, pesticides, fertilisers, and other chemicals, and because the cows themselves are free of hormones and chemicals, the milk they produce is of a much higher quality and is therefore more nutritious. Grass-fed whey is rich in amino acids, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, healthy fats, and much more.
Tastes better
Because of the fact that the milk is of a better quality, the whey itself also tastes much better and the protein is therefore far tastier. Not only that, but the stevia and vanilla used to sweeten and flavour the protein is also of a higher quality, so the finished product is much nicer too.
Promotes muscle
Protein is vital for muscle recovery, repair, growth, and function. Whey protein is therefore a fantastic supplement for people looking to build and maintain lean muscle tissue.
Rapid absorption
After exercise, you need to get protein into your muscle cells quickly. This is where whey comes into its own. Whey is a fast-acting, rapid absorbing protein that is quickly absorbed by the body once consumed. When mixed with water, it is easily and quickly absorbed by the body, making it great for post-workout recovery.
All-natural ingredients
Rather than being sweetened with artificial chemical sweeteners, our vanilla grass-fed whey protein is sweetened with Stevia Rebaudioside A, which is a natural plant-based sweetener that is far sweeter than conventional sugar, and much better for you than chemical sweeteners produced in a lab. Not only that, but the protein is also flavoured with 100% natural plant-based vanilla as well, giving the protein a wonderful taste.

Amazing taste, great protein powder.

enjoy the product
First protein powder I’ve bought, but seems great to me. I love the clean ingredients.
Finally found a company with a clean ingredient list. Great taste with a good amount of sweetness. Mixes well with no clumps.
Sadly my stomach is having issues digesting this protein powder. It tastes very good but I’m giving it a 1 because I have been waiting to hear back from customer service for a while for a return or exchange after a message to their “contact” page, leaving a voicemail, and then recently emailed their support email
Love the mild vanilla and sweetness. My husband is very picky and he enjoys this protein powder in his smoothies.
It’s the only whey protein powder I actually like!
I use this in smoothies and it’s great.
DELICIOUS! My new fave protein powder that I can feel GOOD about drinking.
