Equip Foods Prime Protein Review: The Cleanest Label
Equip builds its beef isolate around a short ingredient list rather than extra add-ins. Here's what that gets you.
Our Take
Equip's Prime Protein is a 100% grass-fed beef isolate, 21g protein per serving, zero dairy and zero gluten. It's muscle-meat protein, not a bone broth or collagen product, which puts its amino acid profile closer to whey than to the glycine-heavy bone broth powders in this category.
The unflavored version keeps the ingredient list about as short as a beef protein powder gets. If you want a dairy-free, soy-free protein that still hits a full 20g+ per scoop, this is one of the most straightforward options available.
The Basics
21g protein per serving, zero dairy, zero gluten, unflavored. See our full beef protein guide for how beef isolate compares to bone broth protein and whey.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Equip Foods beef isolate the same thing as bone broth protein?
No. Equip Foods uses a muscle-meat beef protein isolate, which is closer in amino acid profile to whey or standard meat protein. Bone broth protein powders (like Paleovalley's) are made from simmered bone broth and carry collagen alongside protein, with a different amino acid mix that's lower in some essential amino acids but includes glycine and proline for joint and skin support.
Does Equip Foods taste like beef?
The unflavored version has a mild, slightly savory taste that's noticeably different from whey, some people notice it mixed into water, less so blended into a smoothie with other ingredients. If you're sensitive to that, blending it with fruit or nut butter helps.
Is beef isolate a good whey or plant-protein alternative?
Yes, specifically for people who are dairy-free, avoiding soy or pea protein, or eating carnivore or low-carb. It delivers a comparable protein-per-scoop to whey isolate without the dairy.
