Does not taste like barf and blends ok, but better if you use the right method.
I bought this at my local Sprouts Market and was surprised to see the negative reviews on here. So far I’ve used it in my smoothies and my morning Matcha Tea. I have the vanilla flavor. It’s not too overpowering in flavor, but does have a coconut overtone as that’s the cream base. It blended fine with my matcha, but I put it in last. Others recommend blending it with a little of your coffee/hot liquid first and then adding the rest of your coffee/hot liquid for it to blend better. I can see how that may be a better method. I will probably do that next time. I’m on a coffee hiatus so I haven’t tried it in coffee yet. I’m thinking I won’t like it in coffee because I’m used to heavy cream/dairy in my coffee. I’m not sure why some people were saying they like the plain collagen peptides better. I’ve tried them and to me it smells and tastes like toe nail clippings. Blech! It’s fine in smoothies where the flavor is masked, but in coffee or tea??? No way! This has a much better scent and flavor. Anyway, I hope this review is helpful.
