Clean Machine Clean Green Protein with Lentein, Vanilla Chai, 1.75 lbs, 20 Serving

This is a great product. You're getting a high level of quality and great taste too. Also, after I started taking it, I started feeling better. I have an autoimmune disease and suffer a lot of joint/muscle pain, inflammation and fatigue.... I love this product and will buy again. My only complaint is that the container is somewhat small as compared to other proteins you buy. For the price, I wish they gave a little more. Get this protein; you won't be disappointed.

So this is my first time trying protein after 20 years!!! I used them in my 20's when I was on Yo-Yo diets but lost 30lbs after going Plant Based 4 years ago and I never thought I'd buy more supplements again until I realized I just can't eat enough protein being low fat plant based to make the gains I want. So, the first week I just shook it in water along with the BCAA's and I didn't care for the taste. After I ran out of the BCAA's, I found out the taste of this was far better without it! It was the BCAA that made it bitter with an after taste. Since then, I started using a shaker with the ball in it by itself and now I thoroughly enjoy the taste and really look forward to my shakes 2x a day! I have one pre-workout, then I eat my Low Fat Plant Based lunch, then I drink another one before going home. Now my only complaint like others mentioned is the price tag! Unfortunately, I just cannot afford buying more until there is a coupon. It's not sustainability or feasible long term, especially using 2 scoops per day and there are many others out there now that taste better, but in my opinion and from the research, this one is the highest quality one but the price tag....so I deducted 1 star for that.

I don't do many reviews, but I felt compelled on this one. I was really excited to get this and try it out. Most of the reviews previous to mine were people reviewing the protein before they had even used it for an extended period of time. I wanted to wait until I had exhausted the entire container. First things first: The GoodThe protein is exactly what you would want from a plant based protein. I found it tasted like Vanilla Chai Tea (which wasn't too bad for me). Each scoop contains ~20G of protein which isn't too bad either. At times I have found protein powders to bloat me up a bit, and I didn't get that from this. Overall I felt that is was a great product and stood up to its claims so far.The BadUnfortunately I have to write this part, I was really hoping that I wouldn't find anything wrong and I could keep buying this as my main source of protein! The most obvious 'bad' about this product is its price point of ~$60. I didn't pay close attention to the amount that they give you but for 20 scoops of Protein, $60 is way too much. That is roughly $3 per scoop. There is no other protein (plant based or otherwise) that costs this much. If I were to use this as my main Protein, I would have to buy at least 2 containers just to get through a single month. I was really disappointed to get such a small container. IsoPure which, is on the high end of the protein suppliment market is about $1 per scoop and give you 25 Grams of protein. Now I know Isopure is whey base, and this is not, but even Vega Protein (a competitor of this product) give you 25 grams per scoop at a cost of $1.50 per scoop. So for over double the price, I just didn't find that I got double the benefits..which I was disappointed about. If this were $35 or so (bringing my cost per scoop down to normal ranges) I wouldn't mind using this for a longer period to continue my trial and see if I realize other benefits, but it is simply too cost prohibitive.Additionally, I found that everyday I used this protein, my bowel movements were hard as rocks...rather painful at times, and even more uncomfortable to write about. :) Each day during my trial that I substituted use of lentein with my regular IsoPure protein, everything was immediately back to normal. Go back to this protein, and back came the Rocks...I don't know what caused it but I know the only variable I had in my dieting was the use or non-use of this protein.Bottomline, if you want an expensive plant based protein look no further. But for the price, I can't personally see benefits that equal the hole in my wallet. I honestly wish I could, because I wanted to love this product. Unfortunately it falls into the 'average' category for me.

I was so excited to try this protein drink because of high quality protein of the lentein, but it tastes horrible. I tried it with water and I could not drink a full 12 oz glass. It took 30 minutes before the after taste went away. I'll try again with almond milk, but I pretty confident I will have the same result. I guess I'll stick to pea protein drinks. I wish I could find a vegan protein drink that actually tastes decent.

Taste: 5/5 It is smooth tasting, and not too sweet. NO BAD AFTERTASTE that many protein powders are culprits of.Mix-ability: 5/5 Doesn't clump, and can be easily mixed with a spoon if you don't have a shaker ball.Nutritional Profile: 5/5 It doesn't get better than this. This not only gives you a complete protein, but also gives you omega-3s and various vitamins and minerals.Price: 4/5 It's pice is competitive in the market with other brands attempting to do similar things. I hope a higher demand can lower cost.Only Criticism: Vanilla Chai is the only flavor. It tastes exactly like a chai tea, but I might want a standard vanilla or chocolate in the future.Final thoughts: There isn't a single company doing what these guys are doing in terms of Nutrition and Taste. This isn't just a good plant protein, this is a good protein period. I have many friends who still eat meat ect. but are now buying this instead of their conventional whey powders.Side Note: Your stool may occasionally turn dark green. Consider it a bonus.

Pros: Great (and effective) source of clean protein on the run or after a workout.Con: too sweet-need to lighten up on the stevia.

I like the most it’s clean, and not chalky. I don’t mind the green. As a vegan, I’m happy with this brand, and will order more. I will keep it in the fridge, for freshness. I’m not bloated, or gassy. I also use the BCAA, something I have been waiting for....because I was afraid to buy the other brand, so I just do without, then I discovered them on PETA website. I bought 4 containers of BCAA, because I live in Canada, and can’t get them there. So the other 3 is in my car. 2 unflavoured and 2 fruit punch. I feel I need to order more because I workout 5 days a week.... and you don’t get a lot in the containers.
