Not tested yet as I don’t know how to measure a serving. Please help.

I Had been using this product for several months and loved it. Then I worked for three months overseas at the beginning of 2023 – when I got back, I used the last of the old powder and then ordered a new batch. What happened to the chocolate flavor?! They changed it. It has a weird butterscotch taste and I’m not a fan. You can even smell it anywhere nearby – it’s strong. It would be different if they hadn’t already had a great flavor and no need to change it. As another reviewer said, I’m disappointed to have to search for a new brand now. I hope a company rep reads this and rethinks their formula. I’d love to purchase again.

Tastes good but a little chalky. Not bad though.

This does the trick! I work overnights and sometimes do not have the time for a meal. I just shake two scoops of this with water and my hunger disappears. The bonus is my energy level stays at peak.

Assuming everything is true about this product, it’s a great value and the taste is awesome. Admittedly, it has this taste that I found in another plant based protein meal replacement drink that’s a little different (the only way you can describe it) but I love it. I take 8ozs of skim milk, ice cubs to taste, tablespoon or 2 of peanut butter, and blend it in a nutribullet. It’s like having a shake for lunch every day. Great buy and will do so again.

I used to get the plain variety of this for my larger shakes but stopped for some reason. I wanted an alternative for a quick snack or breakfast with no hassle. This fits my needs and if I’m on the go I can put it in a container and add water where ever I am and it tastes decent chocolaty …some chocolate mixes taste a bit off but this is a tru chocolate flavor IMO.

What did they change? Been drinking this for years and always loved it. Now, it says “new and improved” on the label and now I can’t stand the smell or taste anymore. I guess I am going to have to change brands, which is a bummer because this has always been the best and most affordable shake. I don’t want to pay the price of other brands but it’s so off-putting now. Sigh…

Tried four ways. First with water, couldn’t stomach it. Mixed in with some blueberry naked juice just so I wouldn’t waste it and was mostly tolerable but had to dump the very last sip for fear it might push me over the edge to throwing it up. Next time tried with almond milk, which the packaging states is delicious. Not so much, but I also tried to stir it in a glass, not shake it. Does not mix well stirred and got big chunks when I went to drink it so was practically eating it. To me it is an off nutty flavor that I just don’t enjoy. So.. not to be wasteful, I decided to make a smoothie. I mixed my almond milk “shake” with a banana, some frozen blueberries and raspberries and the flavor of the powder still cut through, but was more tolerable. I can’t place my finger on it, and I’ve heard others say the flavor grew on them, but for now I’m going to use it as added nutrition to my fruit smoothies. May try again by shaking it with the almond milk since I know I can always throw that into a smoothie if I don’t enjoy it. I have 12 more shakes left to try.I can’t note if this makes me feel like I have more energy, or any other claim. This rating it for flavor only, but will update if I start to tolerate the taste better and if I somehow feel healthier. Ultimately, I was looking for a meal replacement shake, so this product has failed me so far. I want a shake I can mix with water so I don’t get added calories or need to make an extra effort to buy more almond milk, or whatever product I need to cut this with.

Edit: Okay so instead of 8oz, I do 16oz of oat milk + a whole scoop & this tastes amazing. Obviously if you “thin” anything out with more liquid you reduce the taste but it especially works well in this situation. No more intense aftertaste.The aftertaste is a little intense, definitely takes some getting used to. I mix it with some oat milk & I use half a scoop instead of a whole one. Just cause it definitely tastes organic & with a whole scoop the taste is just way too much.

I found this protein shake to be the perfect plant-based option with digestive enzymes and live probiotics. It’s Non-GMO Project Verified, a big plus! However, it could mix a bit smoother and offer more flavors for variety. Despite this, it’s a worthwhile protein shake.
