I subscribed to this program without doing the math per serving. It’s about double the cost to a comparable powder like the Transparent Labs Whey. The email campaign is brutal, I don’t need 13 email in 9 days, I just want to take my protein and be left alone. It just ended up being too irritating to continue using so I moved on.

High in protein, low in carbs and fat, a tad steep on price Really love the product. Highest in protein while staying low in carbs and fat which is great. The flavor boosts are a nice way to try different flavors without having to commit to a full size of one flavor. I'll likely continue to use Gainful. The only thing I'm not a big fan of is the pricing - it's a little steep for the amount of product you receive. Otherwise, Gainful is definitely helpful as part of my nutrition plan.

Their shipping time is horrendous Their shipping time is horrendous. They claim 4-7 business days. I will be at 9 business days since ordering (12 days total). I have requested a refund or discount and they offer absolutely nothing. I’ll have to buy another protein in the meantime just because they send their items via snail mail.

Obsessed with their hydration product I ordered the lemon lime hydration product and it's my new favorite way to hydrate. I wasn't drinking enough water throughout my day, because frankly, I think water alone is boring. The lemon line flavoring was super good and I've probably doubled my daily water intake since purchasing from Gainful. Highly recommend!

I love the ability to customize the size of the flavor boosts. I love the ability to customize the flavors. I get sick of having to stick to a whole canister of one flavor so the flavors boosts are genius. The unflavored powder also allows me to sneak protein into a lot of other foods. I tend to use 2 flavor boosts per shake but I also use about 1.5-2 scoops of protein. Maybe creating an XL flavor boost with double the powder could be an idea for those of us that go big with our shakes! Or little cannisters with their own scoop.
