Protein & Greens

I have this on Subscribe & Save. It's soooo good!!! Easy to mix: I use either unsweetened or vanilla almond milk and have mixed it with lactose free 2% cow milk, too. great consistency, smooth, dissolves completely. add 1 scoop to 8 oz of milk... and I use a shaker... shake it up... and it's gone before I know it... and I want more. I use this because I do not get enough protein in my diet, so use it as a supplement. since starting to use this about 3 months ago, my health has greatly improved and I no longer am protein deficient. it is sealed under the lid with a paper seal, just tear that off, and it comes with a scoop I've noticed... this powder only needs 1 scoop, while other powders ... need 2... so.... I think it's much nicer than others I've tried...

This is a great product that doesn't get enough credit. It's made from mostly organic sprouted whole foods and has a blend of organic vegetables to add nutrients. Because it has digestive enzymes and probiotics included, it digests very easily. I get that it might not be the ideal protein if your goal is to stack muscle. And it may not be the best tasting or dissolving compared to whey. But for me, on a weightloss journey where I want to make sure I get enough protein and micronutrients without a ton of calories, two scoops of this in a morning shake with non homogenized milk and raw cocoa powder has been spectacular for me.

I usually expect a protein supplement to suppress my appetite since it should produce a protein overload. Adequate amounts of protein are necessary to control appetite. Also fat will control appetite but that's a real long story and not relevant here unless you're making a smoothie and adding oil (fish oil healthiest, olive oil #2) Now I have medical issues and my nutritionist's advice is to eat 30 grams of protein in one meal. 30 grams of protein is 5 large eggs, 5 oz of skinless, boneless, defatted chicken, a 7-8 oz steak with the bone in... And for optimal healing I need to do this three times a day!! (don't be neglecting your veggies...) Who the heck can wrap their tummy around that much food? Three times a day???!! Now the nutritionists only recommend a diet like this if you are trying to heal from major trauma like significant surgeries. They only recommend this for about 4-8 weeks, it's not supposed to be permanent! There are...people (I call them ding dongs) who are trying to get 100 gms of protein every day apparently for the rest of their lives? No! No, no, no! You see, 30 gms of protein will initiate protein synthesis. Healing automatically requires your body replace damaged enzymes, cells, or tissues or muscle...all of which depend on active protein synthesis. So eating protein in one sitting (2 hours) will initiate protein synthesis. The effect lasts for about 24-48 hours but if you want to keep this running full steam...hence the forced feeding. But doctors will freak out over the vast quantities of animal protein (and therefore saturated fats too). Also any high protein diet like that is really, really bad for your kidneys, your heart, you better not have difficulties with digestion... If you are going to do this, please, please drink tons of water. A gallon a day makes most doctors sigh with relief if you must eat like this. It protects the kidneys... not sure about anything else... Meanwhile there is also the recommendation that a significant portion of your protein intake should come from vegetable sources. Well guess what tofu ranges anywhere from 5 gm (silken tofu) to 15 gm for about 3-4 oz. ( Not the firm tofu, the tofu bricks - the denser the better - mostly found in Asian grocery stores - convenient much?) And I'm not about to eat tofu 3x a day. Gah! How? The only solution I could think of was a protein supplement preferably from vegetable sources. Now some of you may have heard about the scandal about 30-40-ish years ago that protein supplements were contaminated. And not just PFA or whatever. Heavy metals... lead, cadmium. Enjoy retardation much? But wait! Modern products are just as contaminated! The only testing organization that tests for all of these types of contaminants that I'm aware of is Informed Choice. They test for well over 200 harmful and dubious substances. So toss organic, non-gmo, gluten-free (well unless it's been medically proven that the stuff is harmful to you..) out the window. Your best bet is the Informed Choice seal. I've been using Vega mostly because I don't tolerate many products. If there are ingredients where I'm sensitive, I'll just toss my cookies. But Vega does not submit to Informed Choice and I wasn't really happy with their "standards". So when I saw this product I instantly switched. Good news - I can hold it down Bad news - in the race to get the highest quality product, taste has been left far behind. Initial inspection of the product immediately fills you with doubt - Do not try to swish this into your favorite beverage and drink it. It doesn't dissolve well and drinking clumps of this...You will regret this, I promise. I made a smoothies with this with almond milk and the flavor and texture was much improved. Adding powdered cocoa, banana and for me stevia worked really well. It wasn't great but there was no gagging and I could drink the whole thing. The appetite suppressant effect was there in force. Effectively I felt so full I started to skip meals like lunch... and dinner... I found myself not snacking at all. To my surprise I was loosing weight and I didn't even notice it was happening until I put on this ancient jacket from the bygone days when I was a size or two smaller and the dang thing was loose on me. Uhh..this is great for weight loss, but I promise you this diet is not what my nutritionist wanted for healing...You are suppose to drink this in addition to balanced meals.... Drat, still working on getting enough food into the stomach...

I don’t usually buy this type of product, but with such a busy schedule I was eating processed crap food all the time and needed a healthy change. It’s been about 3 weeks now, and my first container is almost gone. Just ordered more. Taste: I think it tastes pretty good. The vanilla flavor is light, not overly sweet. I’m not a big fan of any sugar substitutes, but the stevia is just the right amount to not get that weird aftertaste. I did mix one batch too strong (not enough liquid and too much powder) had to add more liquid and then it was just fine. It is a bit grainy, but that doesn’t really bother me. Benefits: Look at the ingredients, lots of healthy stuff in there that I wouldn’t have had the time to shop for much less prep or cook. So yay for vitamins! Also, I’ve lost a bit of weight! Wasn’t really planning for that but it’s a welcomed side benefit.

I’ve been using this protein powder every morning for years in my morning coffee! I must say I love the vanilla taste. It is a bit gritty but that didn’t bother me at all I think this protein powder has been helping my hair grow and my skin look better! I’m not a good eater mainly because I don’t eat enough but what I do eat I try to eat healthy so maybe this powder fills in the cracks a bit! Good stuff! 👍

Awesome love this stuff

Product is great for whats in it! 10/10 , if you are allergic, plz check whats in it. The taste is only good in Coffee x Milk x Soy Milk x milk Tea not designed as a main taste for water, which most people complain about it. sometimes the powder doesn't dissolve fully, so ur drink starts turning into a Malt shake which adds into the hate of the taste people hate towards pulp like texture in their drinks, or water. it does contain calories, so if you are watching your weight, this will add a decent amount to the drinks you have. This powder is for labor working people that minimally stand up, not desk workload for a 9-5 job. Will buy again! does well when mixing other powders like collagen x Vita C.

For breakfast I mix a scoop of this protein powder with unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened dairy free yogurt, frozen berries and half a frozen banana. It keeps me going until lunch. A great way to increase my protein without added fat. It's not chalky and tastes great, even when I just use almond milk.

Il gusto lascia a desiderare.. ne ho provati di migliori. In ogni modo, non saprei come recensire questo prodotto. Non so davvero dire se abbia fatto è stia facendo alcuna differenza nei miei allenamenti. Non ho notato maggiore energia o incremento della massa muscolare. Non penso lo ricomprerò.

Great product, tastes good and isn’t chalky.
