Vegan Protein Powder - Raw Organic Meal Replacement Shakes - Chocolate - Pea Protein, Greens and Probiotics for Women and Men, Plant Based Dairy Free All in One Shake, 14 Servings

Nice one

I found out late that it has stevia.

I just received this today, and was very excited to try it right away. I'm glad it arrived when it did because I had not eaten lunch yet and was in the mist of cleaning and doing my hair. So I decided to go head and have it as a snack until I was ready to eat. Anyway when I open the container I was a little disappointed that it was not full. If you look at the pic I took this is the amount that was in there when I opened it. This is why I'm giving it four stars. The taste wasn't bad, but I only had vanilla almond milk at the time to try it with. I would not recommend using this it makes it have a very sweet weird taste, plus you want to stay away from added sugar anyway. But I was not ready to try it with water yet. But I will try it again with the original unsweetened almond milk which I really think it will taste great. Overall so far I like it and have tried a lot of other shakes but this one is at the top, solely because its ingredients are all natural. The taste isnt the best but you can't expect it to be that tasteful without sugar. Also I used my smaller blender bottle to mix it, and it mixes very easily. I also read reviews about it getting very thick after a few mins so I drunk it fast. **UPDATE** It's been about two weeks or almost two weeks since I brought this. And I'm glad I did, I have actually gotten use to the taste (in fact I actually crave this stuff now) and its really good. The taste reminds me of a thick chocolate milk shake. It was never as bad as most people made it seem, so I guess I prepared myself for the worst which i think made it not taste so bad. I'm trying to eat bigger meals during the day and smaller meals at night. So I usually am drinking this for dinner. It says to use 8oz of water or almond milk/ rice milk and one scoop of the raw meal for a snack. And 16oz of liquid and two scoops of raw meal for a meal but I usually use my 12oz blender bottle just because I drink it faster this way. So I use 12oz of liquid (almond milk plain) and 11/2 scoops of raw meal. This last all night for me and I give myself a 12hr period of no eating and I'm still satisfied until its time for breakfast the next morning. I havent tried putting in any extra yet, cause i havent had the time to. So im glad it still taste great without having to add extras saves me alot of time, i just shake, gulp it down and go. I really believe this is one of the best meal replacements on the market today, I have tried many and never like the taste or didnt feel completely satisfied from them. And the best part is your getting so much nutrition from it. Please buy and try it your self. I'm excited to try the vanilla spiced chia next. Oh and l still haven't tried it with just water and I don't think I ever will. And I have given it fives stars now just because I love it so much and will continue to buy.

Me llegó un advertencia de buscarles antes de evaluarlos, como si lo fuera a hacer mal y en realidad el producto que tienen es espectacular. No así la experiencia de compra. Me mandaron un mail en automático sin el número de guía. Pedí un bote adicional y aún no me responden.

I am in the middle of a 21-day fitness routine that heavily advertises shakes as part of the program. I'm am *not* a fan of drinking my calories, because I find that generally unsatisfying. I am treated for several medical conditions, and choosing a shake that won't exacerbate them is crucial. I needed a dairy-free product with minimal sugar. I also needed as much protein as feasible. I bought this shake after reading the nutritional information, ingredients, and a few reviews. I also ordered a shaker bottle to go with it. Then I waited excitedly for them to arrive...until I started reading some of the negative reviews. When my jar arrived, I checked the expiration date (trying to avoid rancid or expired product) and found it was 22 months out. I used one scoop and 12 oz. of water. Then I remembered someone had said it got too thick quickly, and added some extra water. Big mistake. It was like drinking chocolate water. I should have added more powder, but that didn't occur to me. It was not the least bit sweet (not like Ensure shakes I have tried) and was a bit gritty. As I got to the bottom, I found that a lot of the powder had fallen out of the suspension, leaving a chewy mess for my last few gulps. In the past week, however, I have learned several tricks. First, use only 12 ounces of very cold water. Shake well, and add 3 or 4 ice cubes. This helps keep the shake cool, and also provides a little more liquid to thin out the end of the shake. Secondly, shake early, shake often. It falls out of suspension very quickly, and is tastiest when well-blended. A single "snack" scoop keeps me full from 8:00am until lunch at 11:30 or noon. I drink lots of extra water during the day. My digestive system seems to be adjusting nicely, and I haven't had any issues. And I've been able to remove dairy from my diet, which has made a big difference. I will definitely be buying this again.

The short version: After reading the reviews, I was prepared for the taste. It really does taste like lightly chocolate flavored liquid dirt with a chemical sweetener aftertaste. Not horrible, but not pleasant. If the taste gets to you, try mixing it with Silk Dark Chocolate Almond Milk. Much better price than Shakeology Vegan chocolate. The long version: I am an overweight but relatively healthy woman and I wanted to make a small change to help reduce my calorie intake. Instead of constantly getting Jimmy John's or some other lunch while I'm at work, I decided to go to a meal replacement shake 4 days a week. I have a severe milk allergy so I did research comparing only vegan options and in the end I decided to give Garden of Life a try. I read the reviews about the gritty texture and dubious taste and from a past experience with another brand I knew what to expect. It is exactly what the reviews tell you it is. It's gritty, there's a sandy texture that doesn't go away, there's a chemical stevia aftertaste, and it thickens the longer you let it sit. I have the snack size version (1 scoop with 8 oz water mixed in a blender whisk bottle) and 1cup broccoli 'slaw' salad with vinegrette at lunch and it keeps me fairly full until about 3:30 when I have a light 100 cal snack. Overall I've been pretty impressed that it keeps me as full as it does. I've done this for about two weeks now and I feel pretty good except I still think the drink tastes like dirt. Today I had some chocolate almond milk in the fridge and decided to give that a try. It's delicious! There's still a somewhat gritty texture and it does thicken up the almond milk a little, but overall it's a much better texture and the flavor is downright decadent. It also adds 100 calories and a whopping 17g sugar though, so if you're counting make sure to account for that. If you're looking for a vegan meal shake and you're put off by shakeology's pyramid scam, give this a try.

I use coconut water and mix it with my ninja smoothie blender to make sure it’s mixed well. The coconut water gives it a wonderful refreshing taste compared to water. Has so many good healthy ingredients with many great benefits. The taste really isn’t bad at all, it’s chocolate flavor is bold and I would never guess theres so many greens in it. This was my life saver after my dental implant procedure!
