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.

I’ve been using Garden of Life protein powder for years now, and it continues to be a staple in my routine. This plant-based, vegan, and gluten-free formula checks all the boxes for clean nutrition — and it actually tastes great, which is rare for vegan protein!I use this in my morning smoothie almost every day. The texture blends well, and it doesn’t have that gritty or chalky aftertaste that some plant proteins do. I personally love both the chocolate and vanilla flavors — they’re flavorful without being overpowering or artificially sweet.The quality has stayed consistently high over time, and I love knowing I’m getting a product that’s organic and thoughtfully sourced. Plus, being able to subscribe and save makes it super convenient to stay stocked up.Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a reliable, clean, and tasty protein boost! This is one of those quality protein powders that's also priced well too compared to some of the other brands.

So first off, I’ve seen some people complain about the taste but tbh I personally like it 🤷🏻‍♀️ it’s gonna taste a little grainy because of the high protein but like any high protein supplement or food and it’s honestly not even that bad. It’s a great replacement to a chocolate shake, or if you’re craving a Wendy’s frosty or something. I’ve been drinking it with whole milk but I’m switching to almond milk soon. Tastes great with milk. I feel it does fill me up but more so to curb a craving for chocolate or anything sweet. I’ve noticed my headaches tend to ware off after I drink it, I’m assuming because of the vitamins. I bought this to help manage my weight and cravings. So far I like it, don’t be sure to go based off other people experiences, some people are very picky with tastes, I’m not lol. Try it yourself and be the judge! Only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because I can’t really see myself using this to replace a whole meal but more so to replace an unhealthy sweet craving. ALSO, you don’t need a fancy blender or a shake bottle to mix this, I use a frother! I pour my milk in a normal mug or cup, add powder and mix with frother, perfect and no clumps 👍🏼
