Shipping from Amazon was quick, and the bottles arrived well-packaged.

Perfect for fitness enthusiasts or anyone needing a protein boost!

This is the definitive vanilla protein shake on the market. The Fairlife shakes are incredible both in taste and macros and this is no exception. The shake tastes like normal vanilla milk sweetened with vanilla and is only 230 calories for a whooping 42 grams of protein! However, there are two downsides that you should consider before buying. First, they are expensive. This comes with the territory of protein shakes, especially ones with this much protein but if you are really looking to stretch your dollar you'll need to stick to chicken breasts. Second, is the artificial sweeteners. If you are sensitive to this keep that in mind. Overall, these are the best-tasting protein shakes in their price/protein range and I would highly recommend them.

Great protein shake! It tastes better than most, with no weird aftertaste. It tastes like melted ice cream but not overly sweet. Smooth texture, not too thick or chalky. Packs a solid 42g of protein without extra sugar or junk. Perfect for post-workout or a quick meal on the go.

It’s literally like drinking a vanilla milkshake. And it has A lot of protein. Tastiest stuff around. But You’ll need fiber. Lots of it.

I’ve tried plenty of protein drinks, but this one truly stands out. First off, it doesn’t require any mixing – it’s ready to go right out of the bottle, which is a huge convenience compared to other brands. The vanilla flavor is smooth and rich, almost like a real vanilla milkshake, with no chalky aftertaste. Plus, it has a solid 42 grams of protein per bottle, which is impressive. The nutritional profile is excellent, with only 230 calories, 0 grams of added sugars, and no gluten or lactose, making it a great option for those with dietary restrictions. I use it mainly after workouts, but it’s also filling enough to work as a meal replacement if needed. It sits well in my stomach, and I’ve never had any issues with digestion. Compared to everything else on the market, this has the best taste and overall flavor profile in my opinion. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-protein, ready-to-drink shake that’s both delicious and nutritious.

This protein shake is one of the best-tasting ones I’ve had—smooth, creamy, and no weird aftertaste. It’s packed with 42g of protein, making it perfect for post-swim recovery or a quick meal. The only downside is the price—it’s a bit more expensive than other options. But for the taste and convenience, it’s worth it if you don’t mind spending a little extra!

I've tried many types of pre-made protein drinks. This one by Fairlife is the best. It is smooth with no after taste. You can add it things like coffee and also a diet coke or pepsi for a float.

Play Video I have gone through so many protein options and never found one that did not have a gritty texture or odd aftertaste until now. Core vanilla tastes like melted ice cream and doesn’t have any grittiness to it. That’s a win in my book! My favorite way to have it is to mix it with Javvy’s coffee concentrate (I have tried multiple flavors and have loved all of them!) and I add in the 2 scoops of Vital Protien’s collagen peptides. Using the Zulay’s hand frother (I have had this one for 2 years and it’s still going strong! I love that it comes with a stand!) it mixes in beautifully. I just had to show it all off in my beautiful Ello cup that my kids got me for Christmas! No, none of this is paid thing to try any of these, this is just how I like to make a protein and collagen drink starting my weight loss journey and I wanted to shout out the brands. Thank you!
