Tastes Great
I enjoy it every morning instead of coffee.

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.

Good Flavor, Mixes Well, It’s Expensive
As someone new to Keto, I’ve been testing various brands and products to find the ones that are “right for me.” When it comes to flavor, I’m simple — plain vanilla and maybe a bit of cinnamon and I’m good. I purchased Perfect Keto Vanilla as it was a match for the flavor profile I was looking for, and despite the somewhat negative reviews. So here’s my thoughts:1). The flavor is pretty good and somewhat creamy — it’s vanilla (as in artificial, not as in vanilla bean) — though it is sweetened. If you normally would use Monk Fruit, Erythritol, etc in your drink(s)…you don’t need it with this product.2). At the time of this review it’s $38.97 for 20 servings; that comes out to almost $2 per scoop. Compared to other brands, it’s expensive and won’t last you a month. Although flavor is good (see my first point), I don’t believe it’s worth $2 a scoop (there’s plenty of protein powders that are far cheaper and still taste great).Would I buy this again? Perhaps occasionally, though it’d be just as easy for me to look elsewhere. I’d see more value in this product if it were in the $20-$25 range (based on 20 servings) as I can’t imagine the cost to produce this is high. The markup is clearly due to it being a health product that is targeting a boosted craze around keto.—As a counter to some of the negative reviews based on the amount of product, it’s important to keep in mind that *all* supplement powders are sold by weight. You’re often not going to see the container full to the top for anything in the health food or supplement sectors (look at jugs of protein powder — they are rarely ever full, if even half). If you’re concerned about the amount of product, look at the servings and weigh the cost per serving against what you feel is acceptable.

Pretty Good
I ordered Cinnamon Toast flavor and first time I tried a scoop of this it tasted very salty. I was disappointed….I mixed the container real well and tried it again a few days later and really liked the flavor! Now have mixed feelings. It did dissolve really well and smells good. I’ll be trying it again-hoping it’ll go well on coffee.

Once opened said led warning – will never buy again

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