California Performance Co.Reviews of californiaperformance.co

I have tried all three flavours and I think berry and chocolate are the best. I really like the chocolate, but for reasons I can’t figure out, it gives me a terrible stomach ache every time. When I make the same exact protein shake and sub in a different protein powder, I feel fine. I never had problems with dairy prior to going vegan so I’m not sure what the problem is. It’s a bummer because otherwise I really like this.

Edit: They did eventually reach out to me multiple weeks later and are sending the product to my correct address. I've increased the rating from 1 to 3 stars. My phone auto-entered the address when I selected a payment type and it was my old address in another state. I contacted the company immediately and a total of 4 times over the next week and never even got a reply. I hope someone in North Carolina is enjoying their product.

Best vegan protein powder I’ve ever tasted! All three flavors are great, but chocolate is my favorite. My only criticism is why single serve packets? This creates so much waste, and is counterintuitive for a company that is promoting its environmental consciousness. Instead of 15 single serve packets inside of a large bag, this could easily be packaged in a single large bag with a scoop!

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. 🙂

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!

terrible insulation on the bottle

Tbh, nit my fave. The flavor profile was sweet. I’d liken it to cake batter. But not sugar sweet. Artificial flavor sweet. And it made me feel nauseous after I finished it. I got 6 samples, the one was plenty. Also I realized whey is whey, wether it’s lab grown or cow grown. So I should’ve anticipated the tummy upset, but I was hopeful.

Unfortunately, I felt pretty disappointed. I'm allergic to pea protein powders, so I tried both the vanilla sundae and chocolate flavors. They both tasted overwhelmingly artificial. I would rather they just use regular sugar if they want to sweeten the product this much. It's like a diet soda version of a protein shake. Otherwise, the vanilla is good and it dissolves better than any other protein powder I've had. I would absolutely buy more if it tasted better, but considering the price, it's not worth it in my opinion.
