Vital Proteins Beauty Collagen (Strawberry Lemon, Canister) - 120mg of Hyaluronic Acid and 15g of Collagen Per Serving

I'm 27 yrs old and I'm taking steps towards anti-aging and putting more effort into caring for my body. I exercise, drink water, and take vitamins but I realize that's not going to be enough as I age. I noticed smile lines, fine lines on my forehead, dullness, and dehydration appearing frequently. After changing my skincare routine, doing facial massages, and drinking this supplement for a few days I noticed a huge improvement both internally and externally. My joint pain disappeared, I feel hydrated throughout the day, my digestion has improved (seriously it'll detox you), and my skin looks more plump and supple. My fine lines are smoothing out too! This powder blends decently with little to zero clumps but I do recommend shaking your bottle before each drink, not a deal breaker compared to most collagen powders on the market. If you use water, it tastes like I added fresh fruit to it. I still add some water flavoring when I don't want that taste.

Strawberry Lemon Beauty Collagen : Large Wide Mouth Mason Jar with 2 part lid. Mix 1 Scoop with 1 Cup hot water. I use Keurig or Kettle. Add Juice of one Freshly Squeezed Lemon (Bonus : added Vitamin C) or you can Add 1 tsp to 1 Tbsp of Organic Lemon Juice (Whole Foods Not from Concentrate). I use a Manual Lemon Squeezer [ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SSYVGR4?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_J2E4T04S72GRG57NE1S2 ] Shake vigorously. Will completely dissolve and become frothy. Open carefully (this is why you need wide mouth Mason Jar with 2 part lid for shaking hot liquids). I use Ball Brand Quart Wide Mouth Canning Jars. [ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N4OI1ZF?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_1NEXST3RCCFVXWZBXHYE ] Add a bunch of ice and shake vigorously again. Stick a straw in and Enjoy. Super easy to drink. Thirst quenching. Refreshing. And even a bit satiating due to the Collagen Protein so makes an excellent mid morning or mid afternoon drink. Also excellent after work out or just running around. Perfect year round but even more perfect for Summer months! If you really need it sweeter and want something that tastes like Fresh Lemonade you can add liquid sweetener to taste from agave, maple syrup to stevia or for a smoother sweet flavor Lakanto sweetener [ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072P5SQMN?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_W2YD2V8DX6QJWZHRNZ3V ] if you are Keto or Sugar Free. I personally love it with just the juice of a Freshly squeezed Lemon. It’s perfect. I drink this once an day and also use 1 Scoop of the Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides (blue canister) Unflavored in my coffee or hot Matcha daily and/or added to a smoothie or shake sometimes. For these I use a battery powered hand frother [ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GMDOUHS?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_GCCVR7WKEQ39FHD0N52B ] or add directly to my almond milk when warming and frothing for a latte using an electric automatic small kettle frother [ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GQQZ64G?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_P2RNP3V2RQPV23J9E8NF ] and dissolves completely and is flavorless (opposed to Bulletproof which has a definite taste when added to plain coffees or teas, but works fine in smoothies and shakes undetected.

This product is smaller than the protein powder. It has 14 servings rather than 34. I mixed it up with an electric whisk and only had one clump of powder that didn’t mix in. It’s not gritty or anything. It smells absolutely amazing when you open the bottle. You can definitely smell the strawberry, But the flavor was actually fairly bland. I’ll still drink it and maybe possibly buy it again because I do like having different drink options that have protein in them.

Okay so at first when I made it, it looked more peachy color than strawberry. But after I tasted it, I love it. Besides who needs all the fake colorings. Also no fake sugars. I’m hypoglycemic and I have to watch how much sugar I use in anything I eat or drink. This doesn’t bother me at all.If you want it to dissolve really well. I put 4 Oz of water in the microwave for 20 sec. Then I poor in the powder and it dissolves immediately. It doesn’t even need to be that hot, lukewarm is good enough. I mix well and Then I add in remaining 4 Oz of room temperature water and throw in my ice and whah la! It’s really good. I was surprised after some of the reviews. If you prefer it super sweet you can always add your favorite sweetener. 🍓 🍋Now I don’t hesitate ti drink my collagen. I had the unflavored one and sometimes I would forget to add it to my coffee. This helps me drink it daily because I look forward to having something refreshing to drink without the fake sugars. And that’s hard for me to find with my hypoglycemia issue.

I got the Strawberry Lemonade for $21.59 before tax.First impressions disappoint because when I open the container it was about half full. I knew it wasn't going to be topped off but other photos and reviews people said it should have been about 2/3s full.Mixed a scoop into warm glass of water to help dissolve the powder before adding ice. It smells good but it's 100% a dirty pink looking color vs the pretty pink lemonade color of the add.Smell - smells like Strawberry Lemonade 🍓1st tast. It's got that undertone of wanting to be Strawberry Lemonade but it's not. It doesn't tast great but it's not horrible. Not something I want to sip on- more of a shoot it kinda tast and feel to it. Makes the water feel kinda slime-ish a little. Unsure how to describe it... over all its a shoot it kinda of drink not a sit and sip.I give a 3 star because presentation of lake of products for how big the bottle is and lake of color to what is advertised. Task 3 out of 5. It's ok not great.I will update when I finish the container to write if I feel or look any different.** Notes - got this product for skin hair nail and join support as it says so that is what I'm looking to see and feel if there is a difference***
