IRONVEGAN Gainer Vanilla Protein Powder, 2500 GR

For someone who needs a mass gainer to help hit that calorie intake but either cant have or decides to stay away from whey/dairy, this is a great product. I cant have dairy and have trouble with my calories. While there are very few mass gainers in the vegan profile compared to its whey counterpart, I think Iron Vegan does a great job with this product. So you're not stuck with some garbage due to limited choices. I switched from from Mass XXX to this. 190g per serving with over 700 calories of well balanced macros, pretty damn good for a vegan powder!! Right on par with alot of the non vegan mixes actually. I have vanilla, the taste is sweet but not too much. I've found mixing it with 8oz of almond milk and 10oz of water is the best choice for thickness and flavor. It comes to just about 24oz of liquid. Which is alot but again it's over 700 cals, that's a normal amount. It's a bit more clumpy/sticky than others, so it needs to be shaken more. Texture is a bit gritty but it's a mass gainer, you dont even realize it after 2 uses. To the one guy who said it tasted like sand, hes being dramatic. Overall I'm happy with this gainer, I'll continue to use it. Next step, ditch this coronavirus quarantine and wait for the gyms to open!! Ps: my only request, get that price down a bit before Huel steals your customers.

I love this stuff. First let me say I have a really really sensitive stomach. If I even look at some foods wrong I get diarrhea. So I was worried about this because of some of the reviews but it’s fine, no issues whatsoever. I read someone said it is like sand, not sure about that I thought it was actually pretty smooth. So it tastes nothing like vanilla like not even a hint of it. It tastes more like green tea ice cream I would say. Also it should be noted I only take half the serving. It’s still 21 grams of protein. The full serving requires a ton of water and I think it’s just a little to much. But overall I’m really happy with the ingredients and taste!

I desperately needed to gain weight earlier this year (2023) after hernia surgery. I took a chance and ordered this product (IRONVEGAN Gainer Vanilla Protein Powder, 2500 GR). After trying the recommended serving size (2 scoops) in a shaker blender bottle, I realized it was just too much powder for 12 ounces of liquid. I next tried just one scoop with 12 ounces of my usual shake liquid, oat milk. I knew that I would have to use an electric blender, and I also added about 6 ice cubes and blended for about 30 seconds. Well, that made all the difference in flavor and texture. It tastes fine and is not lumpy. Add a banana or other fruit, and it's even better. What I like about this brand is that it's made in Canada, seems clean, is less expensive, and has a serving of organic greens, which some other brands do not. So, one scoop has 360 calories + 130 calories in oat milk (490 calories!), with 4 grams of fat and 21 grams protein from the powder. I went from 108 lbs. in January to my goal weight of 120 lbs now. I use this shake in the afternoon and different brand protein shake in the morning to avoid duplicating certain ingredients. Some complained about the bag sealing—I just fold over the top and use a big bag clip—no big deal!

I am a amazon addict bc it is convenient, receiving things weekly at least. I have written like one review in 10 years. I was moved to write this bc it is valuable, I think. I hope to save you the money. The quality is very good, the value might even be OK, except it will make you gag almost to drink it. And, I mixed it with a scoop of almond butter and some whole milk yogurt. Seems that would go with 'Vanilla', no? It did not matter. It was still BAD. And, it is huge drink, with 8+ounces of product plus 20 ounces of liquid. Besides the terrible taste that I could not do, the packaging is misleading. I mean yes, I have some responsibility bc I did not do all the calculations. I only read the BIG print, like most people I think. I was looking for a high calorie, vegan protein powder and I saw, "720 Calories/42 Grams of Protein/1Gram of Sugar/Per Serving. WOW, I thought. Perfect! Just what I was hoping for. Well, if you have done other protein powders you have an idea what a 'scoop' or serving means, or should. I have used 6 or more protein powders previously. In fairness they were whey based products. This was my 1st Vegan powder. If that is true for you... BEWARE! Not only was it not palatable to me, the scoop is H U G E. Like 4+ 0unces. Oh, and a serving is not one, but TWO scoops. More than 8 ounces of product. I mean, who is doing the metric to SAE conversion to figure that out before buying? Really! Not to mention, I had gas and burps like never before. I was in pain and it was horrible for more than 6 hours. I suggest you save your money. At $90 per 4.5LB bag it is not cheap. $180 wasted.

This is the only vegan protein powder I will buy. I have learned this year that dairy really makes my stomach crampy(I have chronic IBS) so I have avoided milk based products, and of course most protein products out there are milk based. I am also allergic to soy protein isolate, so that’s a no-go for me. I searched high and low for a good vegan alternative and the ones I’ve tried before are nasty, bitter, or gritty. This powder is NOT the case in any of those. I am super happy with it. No grittiness, tastes delicious and isn’t gritty. I got the vanilla flavor, and do one scoop with 12oz almond milk, half cup of peanut butter, and a teaspoon of honey plus a few ice cubes. Blend and it’s PERFECT(and a little over 700cal). I am 5’4” and 105 lb and have always had a hard time gaining weight, but since I’m now at the end of my first bag I can say I’ve definitely seen a change in my body for the first time in years, and I am an active weight lifter and equestrian. When I bought it a month ago, it was $52, and just saw the price raised to $62. I think this is a little excessive, even being imported from Ontario, but since I have no other option I will keep buying it.
