I rated this five stars BUT would like to elaborate
I rated this five stars BUT would like to elaborate. First off, I have ordered this shake several times from Amazon and it's been between $25-35. This last time I went to order and it was $117!!! I sent a message since there is NO way anyone would pay that much for this shake and then continued to check Amazon for a price change. Once I saw the price was back to normal, I ordered it. I love like the flavor and the fact that it is not whey protein plus it dissolves quickly and is not chalky. I also buy their premade shakes from Sprouts. When I placed my order on 5/4/18 it was supposed to be 2 day prime but the estimated arrival date was not until 5/21/18! Then I get an email saying good news your item will arrive early on 5/16/18 and that was still over a week out. In the end it got there in less than a week. Perhaps this was just a glitch. However, aggravating none the less. Now to the final part of my review. I made my shake (I make it with 8 oz rice milk and 2 oz water) and immediately noticed a change in taste. And not for the better. It was a little more sweet. I dug my old container out of the recycle bin to compare ingredients and sure enough this "new formula" now has Maltodextrin. Why??? More sugar. There are already 2 sweeteners in it (cane sugar and stevia)!! No thanks. So, needless to say this purchase has been the least pleasant and seamless. And now I am not sure I will continue to buy this brand. The premade shakes do not have maltodextrin in them. At least the ones in my pantry do not. They may be changing that formula too. Hope this helps!
