Great tasting
I enjoy this product in my coffee. I order it every month, it doesn’t last the entire month and is expensive, so I may be looking for a substitute in the future.

Lower price – get 5 stars. Pricier than I would like.
Sometime in early December, I decided to give this concoction a try because I HATE protein powders, I hate protein shakes and I really hate protein bars. The idea I could put this in coffee was very appealing.The difference this makes for me is astounding. I put a scoop of this (scoop comes with) in my coffee with a little bit of heavy cream and I LOVE it. I stir it with a spoon. No need for a fancy messy blender thing. Not only does it taste good, but it gives me an extra boost of energy that coffee alone does not. I wake up wanting to make coffee so I can drink this. Taste: it is sweetened with Stevia. It has a slight bitter after taste. You could add Splenda to it to make it sweeter. But I’ve been trying to get away from sweeteners for a while and at this point, I am used to the Stevia aftertaste and can appreciate the sweetness. I assumed the main reason for the extra boost of energy was from the MCT oil. This item is so expensive, that instead of reordering (this container only has 20 scoops), I bought a cheaper MCT oil to mix in with heavy cream. What a mess that is. I hate the oil form. It’s messy, requires that you blend the oil into the cream or the oil will float (gross). This is so much better and so I reordered it and I write this as I use up my second container of keto collagen. Each scoop has 10g of protein; which is good for me as I struggle to get enough protein into my diet due to low appetite. The only reason I may not constantly re-order is because of price.Note that my husband, who does like protein powders, bars and shakes; does not find much difference when putting this into coffee. He doesn’t like it particularly, but drinks it fine. He would give it 2 to 3 stars because of taste and price. He sees no difference in his energy level after taking this. The boost is likely to vary person to person.What I do not like: THE PRICE COULD BE LOWER. I would be more likely to get this through Amazon subscription if the price was half of what it is. I do not need the ingredients to be “grass fed”. That’s a hint so you can lower the price point. On my last cup of coffee using this powder, I found a few white granules that while tasteless, were gross. At this price, please remove any collagen that did not powder. It could be fixed by sifting it before filling the containers in the factory.If interested, see my dieting background below:I started when I took a biochemistry class in college, and for a project I needed to research why Atkins did not work. Funny, no matter how much I searched, the evidence pointed at low cab making perfect sense. There are essential amino acids and essential fatty acids (this means that our body cannot make those, we must eat them). And yet, there are no essential carbohydrates, meaning that our body can make all the carbohydrates it needs. And so started my life of “dieting” using the low carb approach. At that time, when I was in my early 20s I lost 60 lbs doing low carb/Atkins. I kept it off for a few years. I had two kids and gained a bunch of weight. I am 39 years old now and my youngest is 5. I was still struggling with weight, even though I would cycle from standard American diet and low carb to control weight gain. Last summer (July 2017) I saw a doctor and under his guidance, I have been doing low carb again. This time around, they call it “ketogenic”. But it is essentially the same thing I did years ago. Under this doctor’s analysis we have been following my cholesterol, sugar and insulin levels and they are the best they have been in a decade. I will be turning 40 in 2018, and maybe because I now see my body as one intolerant to sugar, this time around, I see it as a lifestyle change instead of a diet. By the end of Dec 2017, I had lost 30 lbs.

Totally redeemed itself, that was a close one
I was very close to giving this one star and researching return options. Initially, I mistakenly bought this after watching a Keto Fonnect YouTube video where she used the Vanilla MCT powder in tea lattes. When I realized I had bought the collagen, I was actually pleased that it included MCT and saves me the hassle of carrying multiple products on my travels.I first used about 1/3 scoop in my coffee, holy wow! Stevia much? I hated it with an extreme passion. I wanted to force myself to like it because of the convenience, so next try I added salted butter hoping the salt would cover the stevia…it was okay, but still nowhere able to do a full scoop. It’s also important to note that traditionally, I am a black coffee drinker and can roll with oil or sometimes butter in it, but cream is a stretch and sweetener is a hard NO.After a few days, I remembered that I had tried some flavored stevia drops in coffee and couldn’t stand it, but used the same drops in other things and didn’t mind. I ventured out of my norm and added some heavy cream and this powder to my coffee…major improvement! The past 2 days have been pretty chilly and I’ve started drinking more tea throughout the day. I am now officially addicted to English Breakfast tea with a half to full scoop of this powder and occasionally a splash of heavy cream. Seriously, you have to give it a shot. If you have purchased this and don’t like it, I urge you to experiment. The tea is killer. I keep meaning to try it with chai, but I’m loving this combo so much, that I haven’t even strayed from it once.I don’t know if coffee brings out the overwhelming nature of stevia, or its just too far from my staple black coffee, but this is definitely better with cream if in coffee. For me, it makes the addition of cream more tolerable. I am currently following a ketogenic diet and getting enough fat in is a struggle…this powder is now helping me keep my macros in check.

Excellent

I love PK products and always return. But the new tubs are so wide, my tiny hands can barely get them open!!
