Pretty good but not perfect
I’ve been looking for a low sugar, high protein plant based supplement for awhile. Most are gritty or way to sweet. I was intrigued with the ads for this so I bought a sample. Kinda disappointed on my first taste. It wasn’t chocolatey enough, and had a thin texture even when mixed with the recommended amount of water and blended in my vitamix. It was also way too sweet! I can’t understand why companies want to add sweeteners to their products, I’d rather do it myself. Take 2: I blend the powder with water but this time I add 1 tablespoon of heavy whipping cream to help make it fluffy (I know technically not plant based shake anymore but this is a trick I’ve learned helps thicken the shake). I also added 1-2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa and blended it in my vitamix. It came out sooo rich and thick. Texture was great, smooth. It was pretty tasty...except still way too sweet and with a funky aftertaste.
Pros: blends very nicely, not gritty
Cons: very sweet, funky aftertaste, flavors not rich, pricey
