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!

So, this was very good. I made it hot with oat milk. I was using the VP Matcha Latte but someone had mentioned in another review that it tasted like vomit, and ya know what? Now thinking about it, it totally does! This regular Matcha one, taste much better. Little more effort to make, but worth it. Start to finish tool less than 10 min. It’s my treat at the end of the night and I enjoy the whole process. Cheers!

Flavor: Original. Purchased my VP Matcha Collagen yesterday morning, received it in the mail last night, and made my first Matcha Collagen "latte" this morning. I dissolved 1 scoop into 1/2 cup hot water, then added 1/2 cup hot almond milk & frothed it all together using my new Elementi mechanized whisk. I'm already LOVING this product and so thankful I purchased it. There is NO "protein powder taste" - the aroma, flavor, and appearance is all matcha. I'm very excited to make this a morning ritual - not only do you reap the benefits of matcha & get some caffeine in (about 1/2 the MG you get from a cup of coffee) but the collagen has amazing benefits.

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!

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.

I drink a lot of matcha and hojicha. I knew going into this I wasn't buying it for the quality of the matcha, but the fact that it's a collagen supplement. I barely taste the matcha at all with one scoop in 6-8oz of water, even less with milk as a latte. If you aren't a huge fan of matcha, you might like this for it's very subtle flavor. What I ended up doing was one scoop of this mixed with one scoop of my organic matcha from Costco ($20 for 300 servings!!!), so I could actually taste the matcha.To be honest, I didn't notice any difference from ingesting the collagen every day for the full month. I've been vegetarian for over a decade and run 4-6 miles a day, 7 days a week, and I hoped that I would have noticed something different. I wracked my brain trying to notice anything positive from it, but nothing felt different, good or bad. Runs didn't feel any different, hair, skin and nails all were the same.I also find the added caffeine too much. It is stronger than regular matcha. I often drink regular matcha in the afternoon with no problems falling asleep, but if I take this supplement after 2pm, I have trouble falling asleep at night.
