Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As a health enthusiast and athlete for many years, I've supplemented my diet with various types of protein powders. Due to a number of food intolerance recently, I transitioned from whey and isolate protein powders to plant based powders that were easily digestible, non-irritating to my GI and were sourced from minimally-processed natural ingredients. Even with all the options available on the market these days, there wasn't one product I absolutely loved enough to write a review until now. I purchased Aloha's vanilla protein powder after thoroughly researching the company and its business practices. It was important for me to know what I was buying, where it came from and how it is produced. The criteria I used in determining my purchase included whether the product was free of pesticides, if the manufacturing process retains its nutritional quality, the nutritional content, if it contained artificial flavors, heavy metals, etc. Overall, it was a question of quality over price. After a week of use, I am sincerely happy with my purchase and will be a repeat customer. Not only does the vanilla flavor tastes and mixes well (I blend it with coconut powder/milk and/or cashew milk due to my dairy/gluten intolerance), but it also hits the spot as a meal supplement. If I'm facing a hectic work day, I'll prep a smoothie in the morning for lunch and store in the fridge! I left one overnight and was very impressed to discover how well the purity, consistency, and taste held the next day. Although I workout seriously for health and leanness, I don't use this product as a post-workout fuel so I can't speak for it in that regard. I strongly recommend anyone looking for a protein powder to do research first. The reality is that quality varies among brands and within brands, even among the plant based powders. Still, you'll find a lot of the same ingredients and price among brands, it's just packaged and priced differently. Overall, I found Aloha's protein powder to be a great product and a huge upgrade from the products I've used in the past. Not only is it cost effective, it's versatile, and gets the job done for my personal nutritional needs. If you compare this product against others on a per unit basis, the price is pretty reasonable for what you get.
