I Tried Ballerina Farm’s Farmer Protein For 21 Days—The Results Surprised Me

Colostrum is popping up everywhere these days—from wellness TikTok to Instagram influencers—and everyone seems obsessed with upping their protein intake. Whether it’s to boost muscle recovery, support gut health, or get that extra glow, protein supplements have become the star of the wellness world.

And while colostrum itself is packed with benefits, it hasn’t always been the cutest addition to your pantry—until now. Enter Ballerina Farm's Farmer Protein, packed with both colostrum and protein in one cute (very large) package.

I put it to the test for 21 days, and I'm ready to share the results.

Meet Ballerina Farm: The Instagram-Perfect Homestead

Ballerina Farm was co-founded by Hannah Neeleman, a former professional ballerina and mom of eight, who—along with her husband Daniel—runs a family farm in the mountains of Utah. Hannah went from pirouetting on stage to living the dream of many Pinterest-lovers: raising their family on a picturesque farm, complete with homemade sourdough, adorable children, happy cows, and now, the addition of their own health supplements. Ballerina Farm has become a viral sensation on social media, especially for its aesthetic content and down-to-earth approach to modern homesteading.

They embody that perfect blend of farm-to-table simplicity and influencer-level branding, making many of their products instant bestsellers, including the latest—Farmer Protein.

What’s Inside Farmer Protein?

Ballerina Farm’s Farmer Protein isn’t just about looking cute on your countertop—it’s packed with high-quality ingredients. Here’s what’s in every serving:

Grass-Fed Whey Protein: Sourced from grass-fed cows, this protein is a clean, easily digestible source of essential amino acids that can help with muscle repair and overall health.

Bovine Colostrum: As the star ingredient, it’s packed with immune-boosting antibodies, growth factors, and nutrients that can support gut health and muscle recovery.

Each serving packs 24 grams of protein and 60 calories, making it easy to get a substantial protein boost with minimal extras. However, the serving size is quite large—about 31 grams of powder per serving—so if you’re like me, you might find that using half a serving most days is still enough to meet your protein needs.

Pricing and Servings

Farmer Protein is priced at $67 per bag and each bag contains 30 servings. That comes out to about $2.17 per serving, which is pretty reasonable considering the quality of the ingredients. And since I typically used half a serving at a time, I was essentially doubling the number of servings, which made it an even better deal.

How I Used It

The Maple Cinnamon and Chocolate flavors were the ones I tried, and honestly, I was impressed with both. The Maple Cinnamon flavor gave me major cozy fall vibes (hello, maple latte), while the Chocolate was indulgent without being overly sweet.

My favorite way to use Farmer Protein was in my morning coffee. Here's the trick: mix half a serving of the protein with your milk before you pour it into your coffee. If you try adding the powder directly to hot coffee, it’ll get clumpy. But when you blend it with milk first, it dissolves beautifully and turns your coffee into a creamy, protein-packed delight.

Beyond coffee, I also experimented with some protein-packed energy bites (similar to the ones pictured below) and pancakes using Farmer Protein, and both recipes turned out great. You can even just drink it with milk for a boost. The possibilities are endless, and it’s nice to have a versatile protein powder that fits into multiple meals.

One of the things I love most about Farmer Protein is that it’s truly family-friendly. The flavors are kid-approved, and it’s a sneaky way to get some extra protein and colostrum into your kids’ diets.

The Results

Let’s talk results. I’ve been consistent with my workout routine—three days a week of weightlifting and two days of cardio—so getting enough protein is crucial for muscle recovery. After using Farmer Protein for 21 days, I definitely noticed some positive changes. My muscles felt like they were recovering faster after workouts, but the main benefit was definitely in my digestion. Colostrum is known for its gut health benefits, and I found that my digestion was on point during the 21 days with no bloating or weird stomach issues.

Or, let me put it a little more bluntly: I had a gut health glow-up with spectacular bowel movements. Throughout my 21-day trial, I noticed that my digestion was incredibly smooth. And by that, I mean...regular. We're talking clockwork consistency with bathroom breaks, but not too many. Sorry if that's TMI, but this is important!

That's because colostrum is loaded with growth factors and immunoglobulins that support the lining of your gut, making it a powerhouse for digestive health. The benefits of taking colostrum often start in the gut, and I definitely felt like Farmer Protein was working its magic there. If you’re someone who deals with digestive issues, this protein could be a game-changer for you.

Final Verdict: Is Farmer Protein Worth It?

Yes, definitely. Ballerina Farm’s Farmer Protein is not just an adorable addition to your coffee station—it’s also affordable for the quality and quantity, family-friendly, versatile enough to use in everything from lattes to pancakes, and most importantly, it’s actually enjoyable to use.

If you’re looking to get on the colostrum trend like the wellness queens you see on social media, I’d say it’s time to stock up and get ready for a gut health glow-up.
