California Performance Co.Reviews of californiaperformance.co

Mixed Berry flavor is quite good. Flavors from other makers of Perfect Day whey seem to aim for exotic flavors -- nothing I'd want to eat day after day. Keep it simple. Even better would be to ditch the stevia and other sweeteners entirely.

First of all, thank you for making this product. There is ample research about the performance benefits specifically of whey protein, and I haven't been able to take that in years since I'm vegan. The delivery was prompt, the order process was very smooth and streamlined. The only issue I have is with the product itself. Both the free sample (berry flavor), and the chocolate flavored one didn't taste amazing. The berry tasted a bit like medicine, and the chocolate one tasted a bit more like coffee rather than chocolate. Other than that the product is great, and I'm already seeing gains. ;)

Order shipped out quickly and communication was great. I ordered the metal shaker bottle. It is surprisingly lightweight because it is a thin metal (which I don’t mind) but makes the rattling a bit louder. I gave this items four because the top is almost entirely plastic. This is disappointing because I am trying to steer clear of plastic for a lot of reasons, one being the taste they seem to absorb over time.

Taste and texture are good. Feels like high quality protein. I feel pretty good after using it.

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!

Love this company and the idea of vegan whey protein. I am vegan for ethical reasons but vegan (non-whey) protein powders can be gritty and not tasty. The chocolate and vanilla flavors are SO delicious! They dissolve super smoothly into water and are really easy to drink. However the mixed berry flavor is awful and tastes like cherry cough syrup. If you tried the mixed berry flavor and didn't like it, I would really recommend trying the other flavors. I only wish they came in bulk sizes because 15 servings is not too many servings especially if you are really trying to lead an active lifestyle.

The potential is there! You guys have done the work and this product is top of the line, an absolute game changer! Revolutionary! I love the science behind this product! This stuff is just as, if not more, water soluble than the animal derived whey I used to purchase years ago. Taste is great, smooth. Better tasting than any other vegan protein that I've tried... but I have a few suggestions for the product. 1. I don't care about taste, so I think there should be an unflavored option available. I'm consuming this product for nutrition, not pleasure. I'm not sipping on this for a half hour. I put the powder in the water, shake it up, and drink it all within a minute. I'm interested in this supplement for sports nutrition. 2. If there isn't going to be an unflavored option, I'd rather have real sugar than have stevia. The previous company I bought naturally flavored whey from originally had 4 grams of sucrose in a serving size. Eventually the formula changed, reducing to two grams of sucrose and adding stevia. Ever since they started adding stevia, my digestibility of their product went out the door. For the price I'm paying, I don't expect this product to cause any intestinal distress. Which leads me to my next point. 3. Get all of the gums and fillers out of there. I don't think there needs to be three gums, and sunflower oil creamer in there. All of these unnecessary additives are ruining the potential of the product. I'm trying to facilitate my best exercise recovery possible using this product. Fill that volume with additional protein, sugar, or enzymes. I noticed that there's erythritol in the mixed berry flavor, and for that reason I will not be trying that flavor. Useless additives make this is less appealing to people who struggle with a history of digestive issues 4. Price. I completely understand that it is not easy to produce this product, and a lot of work was put into its development. I'm not saying that you guys need to lower the price, but at least allow customers to buy the product in a larger size for a better deal. Paying $30 for 15 servings is going to put a ridiculous dent in my wallet since I'm having at least one serving daily. Bottom line: I want to buy it again, but I need to see improvements to the purity of this product to keep paying at the price that it sells for. I'm here for the protein. Please don't take offense to anything written here. I wrote these things based off of my honest opinion, because I want this company to succeed. Thus, I hope you take my suggestions into consideration.

As the other reviews have said, this is probably one of, if not the, most smooth vegan protein powders you can buy. If you can stomach the cost, it's the best vegan protein powder on the market in my opinion. Though personally, I am allergic to a lot of vegan protein powders (soy and pea) so I think I may be a bit biased. Vanilla is the best flavor out of the three. Chocolate is ok and Mixed Berry is truly horrendous. I could barely bring myself to finish the first bottle I mixed and I never made any more of it. None of the flavors were that great though: it's still protein powder of course.
