Is there anything I can do about the texture of the protein?

If you're not loving the texture of your personalized protein powder, have no fear! When it comes to taste, flavor, and texture, we've truly seen it all...and we have solutions!

If you find your protein shake isn't sweet or flavorful enough, the most likely culprit is the amount and type of liquid that you're using. We recommend using ice cold milk or a plant-based milk like soymilk, and decreasing the amount used. You can mix a single serving of Gainful into as little as 4oz of milk in order to get the richest flavor.

If your personalized blend is vegan, the consistency can be a bit of a surprise. This is because plant-based proteins (like our organic brown rice protein and organic pea protein) are naturally insoluble in water. If you're having a lot of trouble with grainy vegan protein, we recommend making your protein shake with a different type of liquid (vanilla soymilk works great!) or adding it to a protein smoothie with fresh fruit, ice, peanut butter, and bananas.

If vegan is a preference rather than a dietary restriction, we can also get you started with a whey-protein based blend. We even have whey protein blends that contain no lactose. These whey-based protein powders dissolve completely in water and have a much more traditional "milkshake" taste.

Regardless, feel free to reach out to us at hello@gainful.com if you have any questions or concerns whatsoever about your personalized protein powder. Just know that we have a fix for virtually every issue related to taste & texture.
