VITAL PROTEINS Matcha Collagen, 12 OZ

Sooo I pretty much drink this in matcha latte form every single morning and it brings me great joy! I add one scoop of this mix (scooper is included in the bottle) to some hot water, whisk it up (no sifting needed) and add frothed almond milk. Needless to say, it’s divine, and I swear it’s made my hair thicker/longer and skin more glowy. It really could all be in my head... but I do enjoy this greatly, and I have been getting more compliments on both my hair and skin. I can’t say that this is the best matcha I’ve had... it doesn’t have that “high grade” taste of refined matcha powder (this product’s powder is a duller green, an indicator of lower grade/lesser quality matcha). However, it tastes fine in latte form, especially since there is coconut water powder in the ingredients, giving it a more robust taste.That said, it smells kind of funky when you open the container — sort of reminiscent of protein powder. Also, at ~$40/pop it’s quite pricey... but as a daily matcha latte drinker I rationalize the cost as being more wallet- and health-friendly than daily Starbucks visits. And plus — collagen! It’s amazeballs. If you like matcha lattes as much as I do, I highly, highly recommend this product. I have yet to try their new matcha collagen latte powder in their shop, but it’s certainly next on my list! Keep posted~

There have been some days that I forget to use this in the mornings to make a latte so it’s going to take a little longer for me to see if it helps with pain relief. I mix it with a little bit of water to start off with because Macha seems to dissolve into water a lot better and a lot faster than in any other liquid. I then add some vanilla almond milk, and using the little bamboo whisk that I purchased here on Amazon, I mix everything all together. For flavor, I put a tablespoon of Stevia in it and that, combined with the flavor of the almond milk makes a very yummy latte. I add a little bit of crushed ice because it tastes even better when it’s really cold and I sip on that while I eat breakfast. It’s a little expensive for daily use but for anyone like me who suffers with chronic pain, we will do and try anything for pain relief. I do recommend this product and hopefully my recipe is helpful for y’all to make your own yummy cold Matcha latte.

I saw some reviews that made me question if I would like this but the product I received is very good! I’ve been wanting to switch to matcha instead of coffee and also find a yummy source of collagen. This matcha/collagen knocked it out of the park for me! Tastes good, mixed well and was a nice dark green color. To the people complaining that it tastes bad it tastes like matcha. Matcha tastes “kind of like grass” in a way. I put some vanilla almond milk in it and it’s super tasty to me!

I have to say that I love this product! I can drink it warm or cold. I feel it helps with controlling my appetite and mental clarity. However, opening the canister can be very frustrating. The plastic safety ring around the lid is not very user friendly. The plastic ring breaks often (see picture), making for a frustrating experience. For such a pricey product, I would like to see user friendly packaging.

I’ve been trying matcha products I’ve found on amazon and mixing it with just basic collagen peptides. Always had a weird taste. I found this one and thought was a great product cause is already mixed in. Amazing matcha quality. Definitely worth the price, just the matcha alone with this quality is expensive, so definitely worth the price. The color says It all (bright green, not brownish green) Tastes beyond perfect. Do not just drink with water or might not taste as good. I add to it some hot water, cashew milk and sometimes some type of sweetener. Taking it in an empty stomach will give better absorption. It also feels very comforting first thing in the morning.

Wow, this stuff is amazing! I have been a VP fan for a couple years now. I take their marine collagen daily and opted to try the matcha in addition. The taste is sooo good. I mix it with hot almond or coconut milk and add a tiny bit of honey. Just as good as any brunch restaurant matcha. I notice that it relaxes me as well. Lastly, VP collagen keeps my nails in great shape - they’re always shiny and strong. Splurge on this!

For a matcha latte or smoothie this powder cannot be beaten! It blends so smoothly and tastes great! My favorite way to drink it in the mornings is by warming some oatmilk, adding the powder and then using my hand frother to blend it all together. I did find that to make it to my taste I needed to add a teaspoon of stevia. I use the Planet Oat milk that has very low sugar so this might not be needed if you used dairy or a sweetened nondairy milk. Overall I would definitely recommend this powder!

I was very excited to have both collagen and matcha at the same time but once I made my first cup I had to get creative.Good price for the amount of product and content. The real turn off was the flavor. I know and Love matcha’s earthy flavor but their is an off flavor about this. I think is the coconut water that is part of the product. I don’t personally love coconut taste but don’t dislike it either. The collagen also make it difficult for the matcha to fully dissolve. Also, I think the coconut water makes the formula more watery and I like my matcha with a thicker consistency. I had to play around with different almond and coconut milk along with stevia, monk fruit and erythritol to get a decent taste out of my drink. I will finish it but I think bought separately will be my next route. Please take note that I have bought the collagen separately and usually added it to my matcha separately and loved it.
