Vegansmart Naturade Plant Based Vegan Protein Powder - All-in-One Nutritional Shake Protein Blend - Gluten Free & Non-GMO - Wild Berries (15 Servings)

for the past 4 years, yes that is a 4. I have been searching for the perfect health shake supplement. I have tried close to 100 different ones. I am looking for more than just a protein shake, but alsoFor something that offers nutrients I just can't seem to get enough of on my own diet.( I have an autoimmune disease and it blocks my body's ability to absorb nutrients so this was a very personal quest for me) I wanted something with the following specifications:No soy- it is bad for skin and digestionNo whey- don't even get me started on how that chemical junk is madeNo artificialsNo metalicsNo gimmicks, lies or tricksYes to as natural as possibleYes to fair priceYes to great tasteYes to healthyHere is a run down on a few1.Warrior food- not bad but forgettable as the taste was bland2.Shakeology- the price is out of this world!!!! Also only the vegan is worth the health benefits. Taste I preferred vegan chocolate and vanilla.3.The whey from off the counter at your local store- processed crap, no other healthy ingredients and taste awful!4.Spirutein- nice try claiming 0 sugar when replaced with fake processed crap that makes your bowels explode. Some include soy and others whey.5.Herba life- soy protein so it looses so soon6.Arbonne- Avon calling, not a great ingredient list.7.Raw Fit- price and dang a lot of calories in a serving!8.Raw Meal- taste so so, ingredients could be made better.9. Hemp or pea- yuck!!!!!!!!10.peanutbutter powder- where are the rest of the nutrients????And many more. The control in the shake was how I prepared it. Each mix was made with 8oz unsweetened 30 calorie almond milk, 4oz cold water, one banana, one tbls of natural peanutbutter and ice to taste. Of all the shakes I have tried, Vegansmart is hands down the best!!!!It has the extra minerals/ nutrients because your body needs those also to function properly, it has protein, no soy! No whey! No BS. It is a very fair price and it taste awesome!!! Even with just almond milk it is not too bad!!Of the many I have tried, the many that have failed one way or another this one has risen to the top. Have energy, feel full longer, regular from a healthy fiber/carb balance, and easyily obtained for purchase. I highly recommend this product!!!

I recently started using this powder as a nutritional supplement. I know other reviews label it as a meal replacement - but I disagree with that. I use it as a part of my breakfast routine - combined with applesauce with chia seeds or yogurt with chia seeds, my Smart Gummy vitamins and Fiber Gummies, and some pecans or almonds. It's very low calorie - if I replaced a meal with it I would never hit my daily calorie needs. Other reviews refer to it as a protein shake - it is not that, either. It only has the standard amount of protein you are supposed to get in a general meal.Overall, this product has been fantastic, though. I am saving money on supplements and not having to remember to choke down large pills - hello, amino acids. This one of the most affordable nutritional shake blends I have ever tried, and I even like to half the prescribed amount to save more and stretch it out - or just to split it up into two shakes throughout the day. I hate most supplement or protein shake 'chocolate' flavors, so I usually go for vanilla. I don't know why I would ever order this in any other flavor! The chocolate may be great, but I adore the vanilla flavor. Sometimes I like to mix one scoop of VeganSmart All-In-One Vanilla with a tbsp of PB2 Premium Chocolate Powdered Peanut Butter - heaven. And as someone who is supposed to avoid dairy (although I never do) and someone who gets sick and blah feeling if I eat the wrong thing in the mornings, this is so gentle on my stomach. I don't even mind the added sweeteners.I was using Vega All-In-One - which was nice because I use Vega Protein & Greens as my protein shake - and I really liked it due to the higher fiber and the six servings of greens it provides. That one also has more Omega's... But it's expensive - and, while it isn't bad tasting, getting it with the protein & greens powder was proving to be duplicating too much of the same stuff for me. I looked at other vegan options - I am not vegetarian or vegan, I just try to avoid whey proteins due to taste and the fact that I consume too much dairy and need to avoid it. But I found this one that matched up with most of my supplements including Lysine (one of the worst pills to take!) and at the price, I couldn't say no. So glad I found this. If VeganSmart made a protein blend, as well, I'd probably get that. For now I'll stick with the Vega Protein & Greens, though.This is delicious. You can put it in a cute pink Blender Bottle with stacking cups for your later snacks or more powder for another shake (like I do, because fun containers make everything better), or just shake it up in one of those empty Vitamin Water bottles you have laying around (like my boyfriend does.) I highly recommend!

Great product. Taste great, and the protein gives you a boost

The texture of this shake is great, the nutrients are nice, and I feel full for hours after drinking, so that’s a plus if you’re looking for it! But, the vanilla flavored shake is pretty bad. I have a high tolerance for health food flavors, but this vanilla is just gross. I think it’s the vanilla itself that makes it wrong, because if I put some cocoa in it it tastes better, if I just add fruit, it does not. I really like the nutrients here, but will not buy vanilla again after I choke down the rest of this one. That said, the chai flavor is lovely! I can’t say it really tastes like chai, but it does taste good. It does not have the strange chemically sweet taste of the vanilla. Even if you don’t care for chai flavors, I’d recommend giving it a try. My husband “hates” chai, but loves this chai powder. Do yourself a favor and skip the vanilla, too sweet and tastes like stevia processed through toilet bowl cleaner with a nasty after taste.

Makes a good tasting morning smoothie with homemade almond milk, fresh fruit and almond butter. Good vegan nutrition/protein, not overly sweet or weird tasting. My family has been purchasing this for the last, gosh, 10 years?

Great taste, no chalkiness! Makes me feel great! Try it mixed with Fage Greek yogurt.

In my opinion the best one out there. I love the chocolate one better but it is usually unavailable
