USP Labs Modern Vanilla Protein




Taste


Vanilla - While Vanilla is a hit or miss flavor on the market USP labs did this one right. Easily one of my top vanilla protein powders that is available. They take a very simple flavor and give it that luscious and sweet aftertaste from a vanilla bean based coffee creamer. The taste is on point and super versatile. I have 0 complains with this because of how well it tastes straight up, mixed with other things, or even mixed with fruit, pb2, cocoa, cinnamon etc to customize a protein shake, baked goods, or protein pudding. Great job USP Labs.







Mixability


Modern Protein is on the thin side. Upon mixing it to your desire it will start to dissolve on its own. Even with a spoon mixed into a shake (as some others have noted) it dissolves in a heartbeat. Myself I got right into baking. This made protein baked goods rise to its peak, and make a great final product.


6oz of Almond milk and a few ice cubes make a good shake. Not very thick, but it left no clumps or residue left in the shaker after blended.







Formula







Per Scoop:
~3.5g Fat
~2g Carb
~23g Protein


USP Labs uses a triple isolate matrix containing MPI, WPI Hydrolized WPI. In the modern protein blend there are also forms of WPC and Casein. Compared to the Oxy Elite Protein there was a drop in the Rapid Burn Lipid Complex (MCT, Green Tea and Raspberry Ketones) while still keeping in the High Oleic Sunflower Oil. The Formula’s are a bit different overall but the Modern Protein contains a higher Isolate content. Due to the higher isolate content is also reasoning behind the Mixability and thinness of the powder.





Cost


On great IC Deals you can get it for as cheap as 20$ a tub. Besides that you will get it around 25$/2lb Tub. Which is very cost effective on the market for a protein powder. You will be hard pressed to find protein for cheaper then 10$ a pound for something that meets label claims or is spiked. USP Labs delivers a great tasting product. You get what you pay for, and it is worth every single penny.
