Love it
I've tried a ton of different plant-based protein powders and they're all either terrible, full of sucralose, or a low amount of protein per serving. I love that I can get whey now without the guilt that comes with animal products. Plus it tastes good mixed with just water. 🙂

Best Protein Powder with Lactose Allergies 🤧
First, I’m a gym obsessed, results driven, and weightlifting running woman. I have been consistently working out for the past 9 years and transformed my body from naturally thin to strong and curvaceous.
Second, last year I got diagnosed with a severe lactose intolerance allergy. Fun fact, I workout and have had my own fitness company for 9 years so I got used to enjoying whey protein powder and seeing the results of all my hard work pay off.
Protein powder and whey in particular was my favorite! I have a cabinet stacked with UNICO Cupcake Batter, and Iso 100, etc. after my lactose intolerance, i couldn’t have any of them…. All of that money was wasted. And I became a bit frustrated. Then there was a desperation to find a vegan option….
My stomach and my workouts weren’t digging up on the vegan options either. Why? Because most vegan and whey protein powders are developed in facilities that also process milk, eggs and wheat. (I also have allergies to gluten, rice, soy, olive oil)!
Then here comes California Performance Co! I was really …. REALLY scared to try it. When I have lactose, my whole body umm… we’ll just leave it at, it’s not just a restroom issue…. More like, it inflames my stomach and body so bad that I can’t do much of anything for a week until ny stomach stops making me look like I’m 9 months pregnant. ( I usually have a 6 pack).
So I am SO APPRECIATIVE of California Performance Co. It not only gave me the usual flavor and mixing so well and easily into water! My favorite is Vanilla Sundae! The chocolate and mixed berry are okay.
Here’s things I like about This protein powder 💪🙂
1). I can actually have it without going to the hospital. ( keep in mind this is my opinion, please consult a doctor if you have dietary restrictions, be careful)
2). Vanilla Sundae is light, sweet. And not too sweet and mixes well into water or almond milk.
3). It is so much better for our environment.
4). It’s a fantastic protein powder that still helps maintain my muscles and my toned physique.
Things I think the company can improve on.
1). A bigger container. This one Pound bag is cute. BUT, I used to get giant containers of whey protein for the same cost and or up too $20.00 more. I would love an option for people like me that use this every day.And are avid daily gym goers ( I use two scoops).
2). Speaking of scoops. There is never a scoop added into the bags when I open them. ( makes sense for possibly weighing the protein powders) but no scoop? It’s just kinda silly to me.
3). Shipping. (this obviously is not the manufacturer issue) there has been several times that it takes about two weeks to get this protein powder. When that happens, it forces me to use less protein powder. Why don’t I just buy more? Because I am on a very tight budget.
(also and currently in Law School, so that full time and work? It’s a tad bit hard).
4). Accessibility.
It would be great to have this sold in Scheel’s, WholeFoods, Harmons, Safeway etc. it just would be nice to have it a bit more accessible.
Overall! I love this protein powder and it is beyond wonderful to have something that actually works for my body, makes me feel recovered and more toned. Is light and tasty, and mixes so well. Thank you for whom ever thought this idea up and followed through! You have a forever customer!

Hello,
Thank you so much for this absolutely amazing and in depth review. We really appreciate it when our community lets us know exactly what they are looking for and where we can improve. We hope to be able to expand and provide even larger bags! As far as our scoops, we did remove our scoops in order to reduce our plastic waste. In those efforts, if you did get one in our early batches we encourage re-using! For our shipping, we hear you. It is something that we are working on and hope to be able to get a faster shipping option soon. And yes! We would love to be in stores, the first steps in letting your local stores know that you have requests for a certain product an if we can get in contact with them then we wil do our best to make it happen! We are so happy to have amazing customers like yourself and thank you for choosing California Performance Company!

This powder is amazing
This powder is amazing. Normally whey protein upsets my stomach and causes me to lose my appetite. This powder just left me feeling calm and satiated. I just wish there was an unsweetened version.
