Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Firstly, in the 'nutrition facts' on the package, it states "1 serving = 1/4 cup", but on the 'directions' it states to use '2 scoops' or 1/2 cup (as an aside, I haven't dug through the entire bulk of the package, but as other comments have stated, no scoop is provided). So beware, because if you are counting on those stated Nutritional facts, and use a 1/2 cup measure in your beverage, you'll likely need to DOUBLE what the Nutrition Facts are stating that you're consuming. So unless the '1/4 cup' in the Nutrition Facts are actually a misprint and are truly for a 1/2 cup of mix, all told you'll be getting half of your saturated fat (10g) for the day, in addition to 50g of sugar/66g carbs. That's BEFORE adding your milk or alt milk! Another consideration regarding the disparity between the 1/4 cup and 1/2 cup fiasco is the price point. If I end up getting 34 smoothies out of the bag I'll be one happy camper. That comes to $.74 a serving. Which is great, since I add lots of other real fruit and unsweetened almond milk to my smoothie, making it more expensive, but certainly nowhere near a bubble tea shop's price. If I'm only getting 17 servings, then it's obviously double the price. Of course, I actually would get 33 servings, though, because I followed the 'directions' and used a half cup for my first smoothie...yum, boy was it smooth...haha, and overly sweet! Won't be doing that again. I made my second smoothie with 1/4 cup, and it was perfect. Just a much honeydew flavor, without having to drink a cup of water afterward. Additionally, although this mix does not contain 'milk' per se, it does contain SODIUM CASEINATE, which if you are deathly allergic to milk, as is my son, you know to watch out for casein, which is the main protein in cow's milk. Sodium Caseinate is a derivative of casein. ALSO something to consider if you are truly vegan, as it is an animal product. I'm not, but I saw a lot of questions about whether this powder contains milk, and on first glance at the ingredient list, it doesn't contain some parts of what makes up milk, but it does contain that derivative. Even with all of these items of concern, I know this is not a 'healthful' product. I use it for smoothies, but I consider it a treat/dessert, and I am aware of all of the chemicals. I'm not deluding myself, as the boba shops use the same type of products to make their smoothies. I simply wanted to re-create what they make in a much more economical way, due to the fact that I moved from southern California (with a boba shop on nearly every major intersection) to central Texas (where I now drive 30 minutes before encountering civilization and the nearest boba shop is right next door to an excellent pho restaurant, and they share eight parking spaces, and people park behind your car and you have to wait for them to move so that you can leave...ugh!) not to mention the gas prices right now! All in all, I'm very glad that I'm happy with this powder, because it's not a PRIME offering...phew! Didn't notice that either! I will likely order their Strawberry Cream version, as well. Hoping it's just as good. I dunno, though...I might look for an equally high rated Strawberry powder that is Prime, just in case. We'll see. The honeydew flavor came through plenty strong. To the reviewer who said they ADDED 3/4 of the BAG (!?!) before they tasted honeydew...what the heck? Maybe you had covid.??? I also like the fact that it is, in the least, assembled in the U.S.A. It certainly doesn't guarantee that the individual component ingredients aren't sourced elsewhere, but hey, I'm trying! TLDR: Watch the discrepancy between portion size and directions. No scoop included. Not truly vegan (if that's what you're looking for) and not exactly safe if you are milk protein allergic. Great taste all the same. Economically sound investment.
