Garden of LifeProtein Powder, Vegan Protein Powder, BCAA, Probiotics & Digestive Enzymes, Gluten & Lactose Free, Vanilla, 1.5 LBUSDA Organic

This is a great protein powder. The vanilla flavor is tasty - not too sweet, not too bland. I also appreciate that it has 5 grams of fiber per serving. The included digestive enzymes are a game changer - they really help with digestion. This product is a staple in my fitness routine now.

Love this protein! I use it everyday. I mix it with eggs and bananas to make pancakes it just add it to my water for a quick drink! The chocolate is my favorite the !

Best plant based protein powder I’ve found so far. Mikes best with water, easy on the stomach and tasty.

I’ve been using Garden of Life Raw Organic Protein for years now, and it remains a staple in my kitchen. I first discovered it through a sample at Whole Foods, and I was immediately impressed by the clean ingredients and great flavor—especially for a plant-based protein powder.As a vegetarian, I’ve found it hard to find protein powders that are both high-quality and easy on the stomach. This one delivers. It blends beautifully into my morning smoothies and adds a nice texture without being gritty. The flavor is mild and pleasant, which also makes it perfect for baking—I’ve used it in muffins and pancakes without any odd aftertaste.What I also love is the ingredient list. It's real, organic nutrition I can trust. I rotate between a few flavors from Garden of Life, but this one (Vanilla) is probably my most-used.I highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean, reliable plant-based protein powder. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or just looking to add more plant protein to your diet, this is a solid go-to.

Pretty yummy! Chocolate is chocolatey actually. I drink this by using a tall blender bottle, adding 6 ounces of Almond Breeze original almond milk (Garden of Life does recommend using almond milk) and I also add colostrum and creatine. One scoop of this blends very well with the other two powders I also use and it comes out sort of like a thinner smoothie which is fine with me! (I prefer using less liquid in order to concentrate the flavor more). For comparison. the Gold Standard plant protein was actually so gross and I had to get rid of it immediately. This brand also has their protein and greens which [chocolate flavor] tastes pretty good exactly the same way I drink this one. The difference is that the chocolate flavor for this protein shake tastes better (the other one is also good but takes more getting used to!), this one has 2 grams more of protein per serving, and overall this is very easy going down yay :) I chose this brand because I didn’t want any of the emulsifiers or other additives that are found in normal whey protein shake options. Although it may be pricier than other proteins for that reason I will continue to use it as this is the only one I've used so far that I am happy with the taste and texture as well as health benefits. FYI it DOES matter to use almond milk instead, maybe plant likes plant? Normal milk DEFINITIVELY does not taste as good although not terrible but DO NOT USE water its just not right tasting and doesn't mix as well! Hope this helps as I couldn't find some of the info I am giving and if I had a question someone else must too! :)

I am so disgusted and appalled by the findings of extremely HIGH AND DANGEROUS levels of heavy metals in the Garden of Life products. I literally clicked purchase on a canister of the chocolate raw protein powder yesterday...and I noticed an increase in 1 star reviews- I started reading and did some research and within an hour CANCELLED my order! I have been a dedicated consumer of Garden of Life products for 3 years. Having an autoimmune disease, I have gone to great lengths to eat as healthy and clean as possible and have used their powders as supplements in the morning and when traveling (nearly daily for 3 years)...and to think they could be contributing to my condition is leveling.What is worse is the original research findings, article and related links have nearly all been taken down or changed. This move to me completely puts Natural News (who originally reported the data) and Garden of Life's credibility in poor light. They are now reporting a "collaboration on stricter standards and practices.."..blah..blah. Praising them for their amazing "PR" move is wearisome. An agreement for better standards is great..if it even happens (which is now the only thing being reported even by the original "watch dog" who broke the research for the public)...but having been a part of similar "agreements" in various industries as a marketing and strategy partnership professional...it is actually quite laughable. They need to pull their products off shelves, do a recall for the ones out there with refunds, apologize and take true responsibility. Shame on them also for "not knowing their farmers" as well as they should.If this were another industry (auto, oil, airline, toy industry)..the mainstream media and public would be carrying pitchforks and torches...it baffles me how big and deep the cover-ups go in the food industry and Garden of Life should fall from grace because of this. Shame on Amazon as well for continuing to support and sell their products. If this were a child's toy covered in heavy metals- everyone would be crying for blood from this company. I am as disappointed as everyone else who loved their products..and I desperately didn't want to believe it..as I was drinking my protein shake yesterday and hitting "buy" on Amazon...and noticed this information. Thank you other reviewers for pointing this out.I hope Garden of Life gets sued.....and they lose marked business from this...they have lost me and I will do ALL I can to let others know not to buy their products.Thank you.
