pureWOD BUILD - 100% Grass Fed Beef Protein Powder, Paleo Friendly, Packed With Collagen and Gelatin, Nothing Artificial (2 lb) by pureWOD

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Grass-Fed Protein I’ve Tried! I’ve tried several flavors, and chocolate is my favorite. I’ve also tried peanut butter, which I liked too, but chocolate really stands out. I love that this is 100% grass-fed beef protein — clean, simple ingredients (just cocoa powder and a touch of Stevia) with nothing unnecessary added. The protein doesn’t mix well in a shaker, so I always blend it into smoothies or shakes — that’s the best way to enjoy it. It tastes great and really makes me feel good. I can notice a difference in my energy and overall well-being. Such a high-quality company and product — some of the best protein powder I’ve had. Highly recommend!!

I’ve tried the Flip 7 Chocolate and the Equip Chocolate, Strawberry, and Mint Chocolate as well as collagen powders (Equip in chocolate). I consumed them in tandem (one for breakfast, and the other for PM snack) in June, July and August, and eventually alternated between the two for one-month periods (consuming the same product for breakfast and then PM snack), in September, October to now, mid November. I have never added ice, fruit, or any other ingredients to these powders. I want a quick breakfast drink/meal replacement, and I want to judge them in their simplest form with milk or water. I ordered Equip from the website and Amazon. I order Flip 7 from the website. Here's my opinion: The Pros of consuming Flip 7 for me are these: the mixability. Hands down, much easier to mix than Equip, which tends to (in the chocolate and strawberry I’ve tried) coagulate into a pudding if mixing with a spoon. Flip 7 mixes well enough with a spoon if one doesn’t want to invest in a mixer of some sort. I was pleased that the Flip 7 chocolate tasted good enough in water for me that it became my preference. I felt satiated for many hours. If you don't desire to consume animal protein, this may be the shake for you. Pea protein I’ve tried in the past tended to give me gurgle-gut and problems later. Flip7 never did give me those problems. I was pleased that, once my digestive tract quickly adjusted to Flip 7, it came out nicely at the end of the journey. The largest Flip 7 Con is the cost in comparison to the Equip for a one-month supply, drinking one glass a day. One must buy two bags to make it through the month. The website suggests having two shakes a day if looking to replace two meals, OUCH! @ 4 bags per month. If you can afford it, go for it. A con is that I often experienced about 30 minutes of either an upset stomach, similar to what one can experience with an iron supplement, or a half hour of hunger, similar to what one might experience during a sugar crash, which is tempts one to grab something sugary. I had to learn to power through until the feeling passed. One big Con for me is that the valid discount codes I received via email, which made the purchase very economical, typically didn’t work when ordering from the website. I wrote to CS about it and never heard back. ********************************************** The Pros of Equip Protein: the sourcing. Beef protein makes more sense for me and was smooth passing. I like the simplicity of the ingredients.. More economical compared to Flip 7. The flavor of the chocolate and the strawberry is good. A BIG pro is the flavor of the chocolate mint, and I found it easier to mix than the other two flavors I’ve tried. Compared to Flip 7, Equip is more economical if one wants to have two shakes per day. An Equip Con is the coagulation that occurs when you hand-stir your shake. It becomes a pudding (less so in chocolate mint). I don’t want to purchase a mixer, as it would give me one more thing to clean in the morning. I like Equip well enough to accept having some chocolate pudding at breakfast with my milk. My preference is to mix it with milk. *************************************** Now, to the collagen: Flip 7 collagen is good. It reminds me of Tang. It might be easier to travel with over the Equip. Equip collagen (chocolate) is also good and mixes well enough with a spoon. I would order collagen from either company.

So good protein powder overall. I think the flavor is good I have ordered chocolate 3 times now and I mix it with banana almond milk. I just use a blender bottle with ball, I have to shake really well to get all the clumps out but that’s not a huge deal. I have a whey allergy and a friend recommended this, I think it tastes better than other protein powders I have tried and doesn’t leave me bloated. I do think it is a little expensive so I can’t give 5 stars but I do recommend.

Product has great flavor and definitely fills me up; however, I have tried whisking it, blending it with my VitaMix, and using my immersion blender. I’ve let it sit for a few minutes to break down, but none have worked. My drinks still have little chunks of powder that don’t seem to want to blend smooth. Didn’t plan to chew my drink. :) Very disappointed. Really wanted to like this. UPDATE: I finally cracked the code. I use my immersion blender for longer than I originally did. It blends well; however, it does make the drink foamy. Still tastes great and is very filling.

So my gut doesn't like whey or vegan protein powders, and when I found Equip at first i was hesitant. But I can say without a doubt the best protein powder I've dealt with ever. I put it in my black coffee almost daily and have been using it consistently for almost a year. 10/10 and recommend it to everyone I know.
