Very impressed so far!

I’ve recently tried APE after being let down by my previous collagen provider, and I have to say, I’m very impressed so far. Delivery was fast & communication has been exceptional! The product itself is appealing from a packaging perspective, there’s no nasty smell or taste so can be easily added to drinks and the collagen content is really competitive. I’m going to try their bone broth next as it also has a higher protein/collagen content than most other brands on the market right now! Oh, and the free scoop was a lovely addition! Thank you

I’ve tried so many protein powders over…

I’ve tried so many protein powders over the years. All of them made me feel bloated and just not great at all. I am a big fan of using simple ingredients, so when I read about APE I thought I’d give it a go. I’m so glad I did. It is brilliant. I’ve been using it now for over 8 weeks and love it. I have it with collagen, milk, coffee and ice in the morning. I don’t like sweet (especially artificial tasting sweet which is really overpowering in a lot of other protein powders I’ve tried) - so this works perfectly for me. If you want to add sweetness - adding your own level of honey would work I’m sure. I’ve recommended this to numerous friends and colleagues who too were feeling bloated by their protein, and everybody that’s tried it gets on with it!
Well done!

Genuinely happy I found ape nutrition

I’ve recently switched to Ape Nutrition and I honestly couldn’t be happier with it!

I originally made the switch because I wanted a protein with cleaner, simpler ingredients and without all the added bad ingredients I found in other protein powders. I’ve also noticed a real improvement in my skin since making the switch, with my skin appearing much clearer, which has been a huge bonus for me.

I also love that the flavour isn’t overly sweet. I found a lot of other protein powders far too sweet because of all the added sweeteners, whereas Ape Nutrition tastes much more natural and is so much easier to enjoy every day.

It’s now my go to protein and one I’m genuinely happy to recommend to my clients too! I am excited to try some of their other products!

APE nutrition review

I discovered APE nutrition through a friend, after mentioning I wanted a protein powder that had protein in it - rather than fillers and other stuff. APE nutrition protein is just that. 3 ingredients, that you can pronounce, carefully sourced. I use it for my morning chia pudding or to give an extra boost of protein at my greek yogurt, and it mixes well, good flavour (I use the vanilla one) and no bloating. I recently purchased their collagen, liver beef capsules and beef sticks - and I am a big fan of them all. Minimal, and actual ingredients. Good quality, and transparent in the source. I can't recommend it enough.

I ordered the beef protein powder and…

I ordered the beef protein powder and have been very happy with the product. I’m lactose intolerant and wanted to find the cleanest way to increase protein while I go to the gym. I thought, considering Ape is a very healthy alternative, that it would taste awful but the maple salt and cocoa protein powder is incredible. I just add a banana and water to it, tastes like a chocolate drink. The communication was a little tricky but they turned it around. Thanks guys, trying the Lions Mane now!

Quality ingredients and taste!

Have always been able to trust APE with the quality of the product, especially when it comes to the ingredient lists. I have been using the collagen daily and recently gotten slightly addicted to the beef sticks. They are an amazing snack - taste, texture and convenient!

My new favourite protein powder

I’ve been using the cocoa and maple protein powder recently and have been really impressed with it. The ingredients are super clean, which can be surprisingly hard to find when it comes to protein powders on the market.

As someone who travels a lot, I love how convenient it is as an easy protein boost on the go. It’s perfect for throwing in my bag and having whenever I need something quick and simple.

What I love most is the taste. It isn’t overly sweet like so many protein powders can be, and has a much more natural, enjoyable flavour. It’s definitely become a new favourite in my routine!

I loooove this product!!

I loooove this product!!! Honestly, the best tasting protein out there because it doesn’t taste synthetic - it tastes real.
It was very easy to find my favourite combo because it blends well with other ingredients. My go to, is 300ml milk - however many scoops of protein you need, banana, peanut butter and ice ❤️.
It’s thick, creamy and so yummy!
I’ll be buying in bulk next time! 👌👌👌 Thank you at Ape Nutrition!! Smashed it!

Lovely clean nutrition!

I love that these guys do clean, decent nutritional products at a reasonable price.
Delivery has always been very quick and the products taste good. Protein powders dissolve really well. I’ve mixed with almond milk and yoghurt and no clumping!
Beef sticks are amazing for snacking!
Repeat buyer and always impressed!

True , organic source of nutrients the body needs

I started off using these because of there knowledge behind clean foods , supplements and how they work. Protein supplements these days are so mass produced and full of ingredients that are not very good for the body . I discovered ape last year and only started to buy there stuff this year I use there collagen and there raw cacao protein powder. The products are amazing . The protein powder taste so earthy and goes well with berries , raw honey and the collagen together that’s how I take mine mid day, or usually after my work out .
-
It’s made me now want to invest in more of the products they make because they have been really great at communicating when I needed a little help and guidance. Man or women - fuel your body with the right stuff , not the cheap ultra precessed stuff it’s not doing your body any favours especially the long run . Men are loosing their masculinity and women are loosing their confidence of being a women and the reason is bad nutrition and lack of knowledge behind what they need to put into their body!

combat sports athlete

As a combat sports athlete (BJJ & Judo), recovery between heavy sessions is everything and competition preparation. I've been using Ape Nutrition's Grass-Fed Beef Collagen and their Vanilla Beef Protein, and the quality is outstanding.

Knowing their products are 100% grass-fed and completely free from hormones and antibiotics means a lot when you care about what goes into your body. The Vanilla Beef Protein tastes great, mixes easily, and is super gentle on the stomach compared to standard whey. The collagen has been an essential part of my daily routine for joint and tendon health.

Fantastic products, clean ingredients, and a brilliant team behind the brand. Highly recommend! 5/5 🏅

Quality APE Nutrition Products

The APE nutrition line of products are fantastic. Carefully selected and sourced ingredients offering really benefits to the users.

Iv been using the optimised male capsules for some time now and can honestly feel the difference.

Now onto the new beef sticks which are a real treat. Pure and tasty snack with excellent macros and taste. The kids love them too.

Tastes really bad

I really, really wanted to love the protein powder. I got the vanilla and maple one and unfortunately the taste is bad. I am NOT a sweet tooth person, so it's nothing to do with it lacking sugar, that's exactly why I got it. It just has a very strange, muddy, cardboardy flavour that's hard to explain. Even with just one small scoop and a pretty decent amount of honey, it's still very hard to mask, and makes my fruity smoothie taste quite gross to be honest. I know people's taste buds are different, but I'm really suspicious of people saying it's delicious and creamy just with water or yoghurt. I feel a little duped and disappointed. I could barely afford it anyway, but stretched because of the great reviews and I needed something good for my skin. Now I honestly think the whole thing will go in the bin. I just can't make it work.

Hi Lucy,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're really sorry to hear that our Protein wasn't the right fit for you, We completely understand why you'd feel disappointed, particularly after stretching your budget to try something new.

One thing we would say is that our Protein is intentionally very different from many protein powders on the market. We don't use artificial flavourings, sweeteners or ingredients designed to completely mask the natural taste of the beef protein. Instead, we've chosen to keep the formulation as clean and natural as possible. Many customers appreciate this approach, while others understandably find it's simply not to their liking.

If you haven't already, you might find the protein works better in recipes rather than fruit-based smoothies. Many customers enjoy using it in pancakes, brownies or mixed into porridge, where the flavour becomes much subtle.

We'd really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you directly. As this review doesn't include your contact details, we're unable to reach out ourselves. If you could email us at customersupport@apenutrition.co.uk, we'd love to learn a little more about your experience and see if there's anything we can do to help.
Thank you again for your honest feedback. We genuinely value every review we receive, whether positive or negative, as it helps us continue to improve and support our customers as best we can.

Avoid!

Ordered the beef protein via amazon, as it had good reviews, I have been consuming organic whey, unflavoured, so my taste buds are not used to sweetness and such, so i thought I'd get on ok seeing as I like beef also, well, upon opening the package it smelt like vomit? I decided to try with water and was almost sick from the smell and the taste, tried again with oat milk and honey, the after taste is unbearable, reluctantly tried again with hot water and a straw just so I'm not wasting £60, and even my children left the kitchen because they couldn't stand the smell? Not sure if i have had a bad batch or just differing taste buds because i wouldn't describe it as "earthy" "completely unflavoured in shakes" or "almost caramel like" at all, its like vomit.

Hi Rebecca,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We're genuinely sorry to hear that our Beef Protein wasn't what you were expecting. From what you've described, it certainly sounds as though you've made every effort to try the product in different ways, and we completely understand how disappointing that must have been.

Our Unflavoured Beef Protein is intentionally made with minimal ingredients and contains no artificial sweeteners, flavours or masking agents. As a result, it has a much more natural flavour profile than many conventional protein powders. While many customers describe it as mild or neutral when mixed into smoothies or recipes, taste is incredibly subjective, and we fully appreciate that it won't suit everyone's palate.

Some customers find they enjoy our protein used in recipes such as pancakes, brownies or other baked goods, where the flavour becomes more subtle. You may also find that a different flavour protein from our range is better suited to your taste. Our Cacao & Maple Beef Protein is our best-selling flavour, offering a richer chocolate taste with a subtle natural sweetness from maple syrup.

Although we're incredibly proud of the product and receive a great deal of positive feedback from customers who have made it part of their daily routine, we completely respect that everyone's preferences are different.

We'd really like the opportunity to make this right. As we don't have an order reference, full name or contact details, we're unfortunately unable to get in touch with you directly. We encourage you to contact our customer service team at customersupport@apenutrition.co.uk, and we'd be more than happy to discuss your experience and see how we can help.

Thank you again for your feedback. We hope to hear from you soon.

Perfect taste and macros

Just started on the cacao and maple beef protein, and have to rave about it here.

Taste is perfect for me. Not overly sweet, just a rich dark chocolate flavour when paired with high quality cows milk or nut milk. Almost slightly coffee tasting which is far better than fake whey tastes.

220cal for 40g protein (i double the serving suggestion) and when paired with cows milk thats 425cal for 52g protein. Amazing as a twice a day meal replacement.

Been kind on my guts so far and the only thing I add to it is psyllium husk or chia seeds for added fibre.

I won't get bored of this stuff and I'm cleanly hitting my goal of 1800cal with 150g protein daily.

Expensive, but it's most of my meals a day, and cheap stuff really isnt worth the bother
