Update 10/3/24: I was just on the Vitalura Labs website and it looks like the whey protein tiramisu is officially gone, but the vegan is still available for purchase! I know sometimes people are hesitant to try a plant-based protein powder but my experience has only been positive with Vitalura Labs. Like any plant-based option you need to add more liquid, but it mixes great to give you a smooth finish without a gritty texture. You can read my full review of their other plant-based protein powders to help you decide, but I promise you this tiramisu flavor is one you don’t want to miss.
As many of you may already know, I’m a big fan of Vitalura Labs supplements. The quality and flavors are unmatched and beat out anything currently on the market. As a Registered Dietitian, I’m sometimes hesitant to recommend supplementation and always encourage people to try and meet their nutrition needs through their diet. One brand of supplements that always delivers is Vitalura Labs.
Quick Reminders/Disclosures
The thoughts below are my own, I’m currently an affiliate of Vitalura Labs, and Vitalura Labs sent me the Tiramisu flavor to try (both in whey and plant-based). You can read some of my other reviews of their products (pre-workout, creatine and whey/plant-based protein powder) in previous blog posts.
Product breakdown
- Taste- Tiramisu. It actually tastes like drinking a tiramisu! That being said, I LOVE tiramisu and so do my friends and family who also tasted this delicious product. The consensus was overwhelmingly positive with everyone agreeing that it’s the best flavor Vitalura Labs has released! It’s also limited edition so if you’re even a bit curious, I highly recommend you purchase this flavor. My favorite way to drink this was shaken with Silk vanilla almond milk and creatine in my Vitalura Labs shaker bottle.
- Quality- this protein powder continues to meet the high standards we expect from Vitalura Labs. All of Vitalura Labs supplements are NSF certified so you know that their product doesn’t have hidden ingredients or missing ingredients. (New to supplementation and not sure why third-party testing matters? Read this post next). Just like their other flavors, this protein powder doesn’t have any weird after taste I’ve come to expect with stevia sweetened products.
- Nutrition- Ok, so there is a 20 calorie difference between the whey protein and the plant-based protein tiramisu flavor. But 20 calories is honestly not a big deal. The biggest difference I’d recommend people pay attention to is the difference in sodium. If you’re not on a sodium-restricted diet this probably won’t matter to you, but many people who follow restricted sodium diets would need to be aware that the plant-based is a high sodium food.
- Whey: In 1 scoop of powder, you get 120 calories, 0g saturated fat, 100mg sodium, <1g added sugar and 25g protein
- Plant-based: In 1 scoop of powder, you get 140 calories, 0.5g saturated fat, 400mg sodium, 0g added sugar and 25g protein
- Cost- $39.99 for a bag with 15 servings (that’s only ~$2.66/serving!)
Final thoughts
If you’re interested in trying Vitalura Labs new limited edition Tiramisu protein powder for yourself, here’s a link to purchase, use code SARAHMILLER for free shipping!
I would definitely recommend this product and would be doing you a disservice if I didn’t again point out that it’s a Limited Edition flavor! When will the flavor be gone? If only I knew! Instead I’m like everyone else and hoping to keep this flavor in stock in my pantry for as long as possible!
