NAKED Shake - Peanut Butter Blueberry Protein Powder, Plant Based Protein with Mct Oil, Gluten-Free, Soy-Free, No Gmos Or Artificial Sweeteners - 30 Servings

I'm somewhat new to protein shakes so I gave Naked a chance. The Hot Cocoa was the 4th bottle I've purchased. The others are Chocolate Peanut Butter, Pumpkin Spice, and Chocolate Almond. Flavor: The Chocolate Peanut Butter is my favorite one. It's like having a milk shake for breakfast. The other 3 are all good as well but I'll probably stick with my favorite. The Hot Cocoa tastes like normal chocolate. I'm not sure what's different about this one. Mixability: I use a normal cup with a lid and shake shake shake. I'm usually left with little to no clumps. However, if there is a clump, at least it tastes good! I'm never grossed out by it. I have noticed that if I use a spoon rather than shaking, then it will be super clumpy. Content: I'm not vegan, but I don't eat meat and I have a dairy intolerance so I appreciate this being vegan. It never upsets my stomach. The calorie and protein amount suit my needs just fine. Also this uses actual sugar which is excellent! I hate artificial sweeteners and monk fruit tastes weird. But sugar? Perfect. My body already knows how to digest it, so I don't have to worry about introducing a new ingredient. Versatility: I've mostly had this shake as a breakfast replacement. It keeps me full until lunch or pairs well with a piece of fruit for a snack if I'm really hungry that day. I've added chia seeds (soaked overnight), ground flax, and hemp hearts for extra nutrition but Naked Shake is fine on its own without any mix ins. I've seen you can also use the powder in brownies or other baked goods but I have not tried that yet. Overall this brand is great and I keep coming back to it. It's just over a dollar a serving so I believe it's the best value compared to some of the others on the market.

Updated to add that I recently bought the pumpkin spice and this flavor is by far my favorite!! Not overpowering and makes a phenomenal pumpkin smoothie and iced pumpkin coffee! I really like this protein powder. My primary concern is the clean ingredients and amino acid profile but honestly the taste isn’t bad. I’ve had the chocolate, which is my favorite, I use the vanilla for my overnight oats, and the unflavored for smoothies. It’s pea protein, so it can be a bit gritty so I find using a ninja blender and some ice and water the best way to go with this. Post workout, I use two scoops of chocolate, 1/2 frozen banana, 2 TBS of PB powder, 1 TBS chia seeds, ice and water and it’s really good! I do find the vanilla flavor a little overpowering in general, so if you’re going to have vanilla, expect to taste only that even when mixed with other things like yogurt or berries in smoothies. If you are transitioning off of pre made shakes like “Atkins” or whatever, give yourself some time to adjust. These will be watery compared to those because you don’t have all the artificial junk making it “creamy” and it may not be as smooth textured as you’re used to but eventually you won’t even notice anymore.

I really appreciate the clean ingredient list in this protein powder. No weird fillers, no artificial sweeteners, and the protein sources are solid. It blends smoothly and works great in a shaker bottle, which is important when I’m in a rush. The chocolate peanut butter flavor is mild and pleasant, but I do wish it had a bit more richness. It’s not overly sweet, which I like, but the flavor leans more subtle and earthy than dessert-like. I’ve found it tastes best with almond milk or blended into smoothies with banana or cocoa powder for extra depth. Overall, this is a great choice if you want a clean, plant-based shake that doesn’t upset your stomach or spike your blood sugar. I just knocked off one star because I expected a little more flavor intensity from the chocolate and peanut butter combo.

THE shake you want if you want real ingredients, no stevia, no artificial sugars, and a large amount for good value. I drink it daily, and it is DELICIOUS. I’m excited to try new flavors, but strawberry banana is always safe for me!

Recently I started looking for a shake mix to use while traveling. To my delight Naked shake exists! I already loved their unflavored protein for daily smoothies, so it was the logical next step in our relationship. I read some reviews and it was obvious, get some. But shoot, what flavor? And there is no smaller sampler size? I don't know which one I want. $40 just to try one is a little steep. Happy to pay for samples I emailed them. Got the response: no samples for shake flavors. That's it. Nothing else. No, nice ot meet you thanks for asking. No, thats a good idea, I'll send you some. Or heres a link. Or coming soon. Nothing else, just no. So I read more reviews and picked a flavor that lots of folks seemed to like. The day came. My shake mix arrived at my door and I excited mixed up a scoop for a sample! Finally. UGH! Disgusting. I couldn't even finish one small shake. When it hit my taste buds I wanted to puke it up. It was nightmare inducing. I'm still recovering. It was one of those lifelong food events that you will never forget. Anytime I smell something like it now I have vivid memories and my stomach turns. So I guess now what? Can I just request a refund - nope. Can I get other samples - nope. Can I use this for something - nope, well maybe the container will make a good cat toy. I'm sad honestly. A little mad, but mostly sad. I want a Naked shake flavor. I want to progress our relationship, but I'm a little miffed now. Since I'm finishing my last 5lb of unflavored naked pea I'll look for some alternatives. I want to love it, but it doesn't love me back. Is this the end?

Love the flavor and it blends well. I can pronounce all the ingredients and that’s what matters most to me.

Vanilla flavor is really bland

Everyday my lunch is a protein shake. I have been utilizing naked nutrition protein for about 6 months. I find that it is a much cleaner form of protein, as opposed to whey or soy derivative products. Naked utilizes yellow peas as the source of protein. I personally enjoy the banana strawberry flavored protein powder from this company. As it is a vegan product, it is carefully manufactured, there are no artificial sweeteners or additives of any kind. The banana and strawberry flavor is derived from fruit without additional sweeteners added. Other than the yellow peas, coconut and the fruit juices, the only other ingredient is MCT oil. I like the fact that the pea protein is sourced in the United States and Canada. I feel that I'm getting a better quality product with an additional sense of confidence, (as opposed to products which come from Asia, which I am reluctant to consume). My personal recipe is 8 oz of fat free milk, two scoops of the protein powder, a small scoop of beet powder, a small scoop of blueberry powder, a tablespoon of powdered multivitamins, one large organic banana, and a half cup of fresh organic diced yellow peach. I blend this mixture for 10 seconds in my protein shake blender and voila, lunch is served. I personally find the flavor of the shake quite pleasing and enjoyable. There is no grit nor aftertaste from the protein powder as one would find with many competing products. There is also in my experience no constipation as a result of this protein powder. The product is low in sugar with only five grams per serving and a low 8 grams of carbohydrate as well. One more thing I would like to add, I have given my recipe for my daily lunch shake but this is one of the few protein powders on the market where one can honestly substitute water for milk and it is in fact still quite palatable. I prefer adding the fat free milk to my shake but it is not necessary in order to create a pleasant tasting high quality protein shake. Incidentally, I do not work with or for this company and I receive nothing for this positive review, I am simply a pleased consumer.
