38 Verified Purchases. Production Paused in Pandemic. Formula Changed Slightly. 4.5/5. See Below:
So I've been using TOPBiT for years. I love that it is a true Meal Replacement and has 100% DV of many of the Vitamins and Nutrients you want in a day. Eliminating MultiVitamins is just a bonus. Many will complain about the taste but that can honestly be augmented. I mix this in Unsweetened Almond Milk with some frozen fruits.A few things have started to create an aversion for me. I read the reviews and saw others commenting about it as well. This stinks because our entire family uses this regularly. Minor improvements would really change this hopefully. 1) It uses Corn Fiber. That are healthier Dietary Fibers to choose that so much of the population is not easily irritated by. 2) Spirulina is usually great. But they sometimes come with heavy metals like Lead, Mercury, Arsenic, etc., especially in powder form. IT would be great for the TOPBiT to do testing to confirm these are minute. 3) Folic Acid should be replaced with 5-MTHF. 60% of the population has an issue with the absorption of Folate in the form of Folic Acid. 4) Munk Fruit, & Gum Blends as sweeteners. I understand the desire to be 0g Carbs. But choosing quality carbs is more ideal. Instead, Allulose would be a better sweetener than choosing these fillers. 5) Although not reported, DHA/EPA/DPA and Omega-3s should be part of the Nutrition Label since Chia Seeds are already in the ingredients. 6) Iodine, Magnesium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Selenium, Chromium, Choline, Lutein, Coenzyme Q10, Alpha Lipoic Acids, N-Acetyl Cysteine, Inositol, Lycopene, etc are all values people would benefit from being on the Nutrition Label. Choline is probably there since Lecithin is an ingredient.I would also probably recommend more Flavor Profiles. I do not prefer the Vanilla flavor and I am pretty tired of Chocolate. Snickerdoodle/Cinnamon/Pumpkin Spice (for the wife), Peanut Butter/Chocolate/Fudge/Smores (evolution of Chocolate), and a Berry something (for fruit-flavored lovers like my Mother) would really prevent fatigue of the same thing daily. This is the primary reason we've been switching it up and no longer using TOPBiT exclusively in the mornings. This is a shame because they really should be rated better than 4.2/5.0 and honestly have better ingredients than a Vega or someone else. But a few improvements really could rocket this to the top with proper branding and marketing and awareness that companies like Athletic Greens, etc are doing.

Good tasting
Powder tastes good but doesn't dissolve well in water or cool liquids. In a shaker cup, didn't dissolve at all. I used a personal blender and mixed almond milk and mashed banana with a half of the provided scoop. That mixed well.I tend to get a bit of an upset stomach afterwards but still haven't figured out what may be causing it. I also sprinkle over ice cream and mix in while eating, not bad. Hope to try "puppy chow" with Chex cereal and this protein powder instead of powdered sugar.The scoop is made from clear plastic so depending upon the flavor, it might be hard to find. I used a knife to go through powder to find scoop. Definitely start with a half scoop, lest you want to have to pour it out a couple of times as I did. (My first foray with protein powders.)Haven't felt a difference in my overall body health though. But I don't have it regularly.

Better than I expected
I am about to have the Gastric Bypass surgery and protein shakes are going to be a part of my life for a while, so before surgery I have been testing a few to see which ones were palatable enough to tolerate for the near future. This is one of the best ones I've tasted so far. I chose the chocolate flavor and mixed it with skim milk and it was rich and creamy and had very little after taste, which is the problem I have with most protein powders. It also was not gritty or chalky like the others I have tried. I have been through about 8 brands at this point and This one is my favorite so far. I am not a fan of protein shakes in general, in fact I'm very picky and can't tolerate a strong aftertaste or gritty texture, but this shake works for me. The only cons are that it is a large scoop and you really have to mix it for a minute to get all of the powder mixed, but I used a portable blender and it took care of that issue for me and there are only 2 flavors, I would like to see more options. Overall, I would recommend this product to anyone, it tastes good and I don't think the price is ridiculous.

If you've been burned by the other vegan shake makers, try this
I had been a superfan of VEGA's protein shake for a long while. It was the one vegan shake I could stomach and I really needed to get away from whey protein. then all of a sudden out of the blue, they changed the formula..added some weird tangy flavor to it and couldn't stand it anymore. Then found PLANTFUSION, took a while to get used to and then I did and enjoyed it for a really long time...then out of the blue , my powder arrived one day in a new leafy packaging and when I tasted it I almost puked..... they changed the formula and added....seaweed extract??? I had to switch. Then I spent months trying brand after brand, they all were mediocre-to-terrible until I recently found this TOPBIT shake. What a relief. Tastes pretty good, not the best taste ever but still quite enjoyable. If TOPBIT is reading this, please, please , PLEASE don't change the formula!

Best vegan, stevia-free protein powder
I can’t save enough good things about this protein powder! It’s plant based, contains no added sugar, is sweetened with monk fruit, and is packed with prebiotics, probiotics, vitamins and minerals, fruits & veggies, and branched chain amino acids. My body doesn’t respond well to stevia, so it was challenging for me to find vegan proteins that aren’t sweetened with stevia or cane sugar. Most of the popular brands (Orgain, Garden of Life, Amazing Grass, etc.) tend to use stevia. This is the first protein that I’ve used that is both sweetened only with monk fruit and also tastes really delicious. Oftentimes, monk fruit sweetened products taste weirdly sweet, but this one is just right.I know it’s a bit pricey, but I think that’s it’s overall a very good value for your money. It dissolves really nicely in almond milk and smoothies. In the picture I made oat flour and chocolate pancakes with the chocolate protein. (They are delicious!)
