Premium Plant-Based Protein Balanced Meal Replacement Shakes - Fermented Whole-Food, Organic Vegetables, Herbs, Super Fruits, Fiber, Omegas, Probiotics & Enzyme, Vegan-Friendly (Chocolate, 1.1lbs)

This is the second time that I have purchased this balanced meal powder. The first time I paid full price. I have been searching for a non gmo, decent tasting meal replacement for some time. I simply cant get my kid to eat a breakfast and hardly ever a lunch. She loves to drink her meals and this one is the best that I've found so far. It doesn't have that terrible gritty taste that so many do, and it doesn't taste chalky. Both times I have bought the vanilla because she likes to add fruit. I realize most people will be buying this for other reasons like weight loss, but it doesn't matter because the process is the same. Whether for weight loss, or for stability of meals this is a nice healthy , non gmo way to keep yourself healthy no matter what the end goal is. If you need more from it, add those fruits or more whey and get an even more filling type of meal.As I said the first time I paid full price, I was going to again but I was fortunate enough to buy this at a discount , or received it for free, and I would buy it again at full price. The discount I get does not influence my feedback or review. I only leave 5 star reviews when the product meets my expectations and I would refer to my closest loved ones and friends. This is my personal experience, feedback, and honest opinion of this product, whether it be good or bad. I do update product reviews if my opinion changes as I have had to do in the past.If this review has been helpful, please click YES, or if I've left anything out, feel free to ask. I rely heavily on reviews, photos and experiences when I make my decision to buy a product online and I will only leave a fair, HONEST, and unbiased review of each product. I would also love to know if I'm meeting those needs and answering any questions you may have in this review or if I need to add anything. Also, your feedback will help me to continue providing quality and helpful reviews.Thank you for reading!

I have really enjoyed this product! One thing I’ve learned is that you really can’t go off others reviews of the taste. Taste buds vary so much you’ll really have to try it for yourself. I think there are very picky people who expect this syuff to taste like ice cream. It doesn’t taste like vanilla at all to me. But I like it! I committed to drinking it every day for a week and ended up falling in love. I drink it with plain water. You drink this for the amazing ingredients not because you want gourmet flavor. If you have realistic expectations then you will be happy with this purchas!

Well, this is the first supplement shake I've tried and I'm not impressed.1) It smells like play-doh, that moldable childhood stuff in a plastic container, very hard to get past.2) The way the manufacturer lists ingredients should make you a little untrusting of the company. They list all of the beneficial ingredients on one side and then all the unhealthy stuff on another side: stevia, corn starch, silica, natural "flavors"... this should be criminal.3) It does taste alright in that false sweet way but it is chalky. Personally the smell overpowers the taste and I smelled it the rest of the day. I tried mixing it with cashew milk, bananas and strawberries but that didn't help.4) No discomforting side effects but I won't be buying again.

I love the idea of this product. But I'm not sure I'll purchase it again. I bought because I was looking for a meal replacement shake I could have for breakfast that would keep hunger at bay until lunch. This is not that shake. I'm ravenous two hours after I drink it. I had been drinking a different brand M.R. shake that I love and that not only energizes me but keeps me full until lunchtime comes, but unfortunately cannot drink it any longer because I have an intolerance to whey and it just makes me too uncomfortable. Fortunately this plant based protein seems to not have that same affect.The taste is earthy... I doesn't really taste vanilla at all. I have found the perfect blend for me, which is 9oz of unsweetened vanilla almond milk and a 1/2 cup frozen fruit (I have a cherry/pomegranate blend that I'm in love with). I tried it with water instead of the almond milk but it was still too earthy tasting for me. The milk was key.All in all, this is just too pricey for the amount that I get and the fact that it doesn't really keep hunger at bay. I may give it another go, to see if it's just a question of time for my body to get used to the new protein source. The jury is out still.

I tried the product a few different ways to come up with a better combination but all around just wasn't for me.
