Organic Vegan Vanilla Chai Protein Powder, Garden of Life 22g Plant Based Protein & BCAAs, Organic Protein Powder with Probiotics & Enzymes, Non-GMO, Gluten-Free Lactose Free 1.2 LB

Has a slightly pumpkin spice flavor to it and very dry/fibrous. (my tastebuds are very sensitive these years, and that is what it tastes like). It works best added to sweet versus savory (sugar vs salt) items as the sort of sweet overtones may come through the latter.EDIT, this stuff tastes much better now, less pumpkin skin that you licked, and less gritty. Will still give it five stars. The jar got larger and comes one scoop over being half full (settles in shipping I believe). I bought two of the new formulation and was able to fit almost all of it into one jar (minus two scoops). I don't know if I like the new 'corncob' style scoop but at least it is seethrough so you can see if it's fully packed, I often have to use a finger to push a bottom gap full and rescoop to fill the scoop. Rest of unedited review below...I can tell that this packs a protein punch, adding it to okara allows me to make a 'porridge' that approaches the same protein content as meat, without the cholesterol. Very palatable and best in some sort of moist product to help hide the dry mealy-ess of the powder. The scoop seems a bit large, you do not have to add ALL of that to your smoothie or puree, just be aware of what a serving size is (one scoop). It does work well in sweet potato or tomato based soups, with spinach or avocado as well. It is well complimented by cinnamon, nutmeg, and stevia or raw sugar.With being a medical vegan and celiac, this supplement is gluten free and also helps boost my protein intake easily. Do make sure that you are eating a balanced diet, this can help you get the nutrients you need. Highly recommend. My doctor approved it, and it is helping me fill out my frame after a necessary catastrophic weightloss.

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! it has a good taste because it is unflavored and thus easy to mix in smoothies without a thick sickening sweet taste like other protein drinks. i wish it was cheaper but after going without it for 5 days, i know now that it is a staple in my health routine.i don't take it alone, i mix one scoop with 1/2 lbs. baby peeled carrots, water, and 2 scoops of YOUNGEVITY TANGY TANGERINE COLLOIDAL MINERALS and 1 scoop of YOUNGEVITY OSTEO FX and 2 tablespoons of KNOX UNFLAVORED POWDER GELATIN. I blend this in a NINJA BLENDER. after the gym each day i drink this! (can get all these products here on amazon). Then for heavy metal detox chelating I am using BIORAY NDF PLUS 20 drops 2x a day (taken separately not with this smoothie) (this must purchase from bioray not available on amazon). so in reading my review keep in mind it is not just GARDEN OF LIFE RAW PROTEIN POWDER that is responsible for my new found energy and strength, but it IS an integral part of it and without it i notice a difference.as to the scare tactic articles and fear mongering going on about this product having dangerous levels of heavy metal??????? i find it a little hard to believe that this product is as bad as the blogger said. Why? Because i currently am chelating (on my 3rd month) to help my hand and body tremors (caused from mercury and heavy metal poisoning from dental amalgams) and am getting a lot better and i use RAW protein now for several months. it seems to me that if this product did have dangerous levels of heavy metal that my chelating would not be going so well and that my tremors would be getting worse, since the cause of them IS HEAVY METAL.however, this is not the case: my tremors caused from heavy metal poisoning are getting better whilst on this RAW protein product.in any case, having been without RAW PROTEIN for the past 5 days (i ran out $ but ordered more today), i have noticed a total lack of strength and not feel as vigorous in my daily yoga and activities WITHOUT taking RAW PROTEIN. in fact my tremors seem more shaky without taking RAW protein powder!so there you have it! proof to me that my heavy metal symptoms are worse without RAW protein, and better while i am using it. certainly this would not be the case if this product was bad as they are saying.i live in the italian alps and also the US and i have no affiliation with Garden of Life. i just know that it is instrumental in me getting better and i don't feel well when i go without it for several days and i feel fantastic when i use it. and i have preexisting heavy metal poisoning, not silly comments like stomach aches or other symptoms that are cited in the comments on the Natural News website claimed to be caused by this product, i had the serious kind where your entire body has TREMORS, so bad you cannot hold a glass of water in your hand without dropping it.heavy metal symptoms are very extreme, tremors are one such sign typical of heavy metal poisoning. and thus far not one person has gotten tremors from this product.and one person (me) says my tremors actually are getting better while chelating and while taking this product.i would be more concerned with the poisonous water (tap water AND bottled water) in america!

I generally HATE HATE HATE protein mixes, bars, concoctions and solvents of any sort! But when I was recently told by my Dr. that my protein levels were far too low I went on a hunt for protein I can stomach (which usually means hold my nose and guzzle as fast as possible, then chase with something more tolerable). I was recommended this by a friend, and although skeptical, I didn't have much to lose, considering at that point I had purchased 8 different types of protein in a month, and couldn't stand one of them. Some were as expensive as 75+ a container! And tasted like drivel!!! Then I got RAW PROTEIN and mixed it up, I first tried it in just water and I must say, Not bad! I can drink it that way, and did for the first week. The protein powder itself has almost no smell, and when mixed has very little taste. It does have some taste but isn't unpleasant and is very faint, it is almost like a faint almondy taste or something hard to explain. I now like to add it to almond milk or soy milk (reg milk would be fine probably I am just intolerant) and I add one individual sized container of vanilla yogurt (any flavor would work, thats just my fav) and mix it up and its delish. I now have perfect levels of protein and my daily regimen doesn't involve gagging and eye watering to get there! Awesomeness!The only minor drawback, and I do mean MINOR for me is that it never fully disintegrates. That is why i like to add the yogurt, since the thicker consistency helps to coat the granules and make them unnoticeable. Its no big deal and definitely easily outweighed by the positives of this wonderful mix.
