Naturade Vegansmart Plant Based Vegan Protein Powder - All-in-One Nutritional Shake Protein Blend - Gluten Free & Non-GMO - Chocolate (15 Servings) 24.3 Oz

for the past 4 years, yes that is a 4. I have been searching for the perfect health shake supplement. I have tried close to 100 different ones. I am looking for more than just a protein shake, but alsoFor something that offers nutrients I just can't seem to get enough of on my own diet.( I have an autoimmune disease and it blocks my body's ability to absorb nutrients so this was a very personal quest for me) I wanted something with the following specifications:No soy- it is bad for skin and digestionNo whey- don't even get me started on how that chemical junk is madeNo artificialsNo metalicsNo gimmicks, lies or tricksYes to as natural as possibleYes to fair priceYes to great tasteYes to healthyHere is a run down on a few1.Warrior food- not bad but forgettable as the taste was bland2.Shakeology- the price is out of this world!!!! Also only the vegan is worth the health benefits. Taste I preferred vegan chocolate and vanilla.3.The whey from off the counter at your local store- processed crap, no other healthy ingredients and taste awful!4.Spirutein- nice try claiming 0 sugar when replaced with fake processed crap that makes your bowels explode. Some include soy and others whey.5.Herba life- soy protein so it looses so soon6.Arbonne- Avon calling, not a great ingredient list.7.Raw Fit- price and dang a lot of calories in a serving!8.Raw Meal- taste so so, ingredients could be made better.9. Hemp or pea- yuck!!!!!!!!10.peanutbutter powder- where are the rest of the nutrients????And many more. The control in the shake was how I prepared it. Each mix was made with 8oz unsweetened 30 calorie almond milk, 4oz cold water, one banana, one tbls of natural peanutbutter and ice to taste. Of all the shakes I have tried, Vegansmart is hands down the best!!!!It has the extra minerals/ nutrients because your body needs those also to function properly, it has protein, no soy! No whey! No BS. It is a very fair price and it taste awesome!!! Even with just almond milk it is not too bad!!Of the many I have tried, the many that have failed one way or another this one has risen to the top. Have energy, feel full longer, regular from a healthy fiber/carb balance, and easyily obtained for purchase. I highly recommend this product!!!

This is my first time trying the fruit based flavor. It was delicious; better blended with fruit and yogurt. I still prefer the chai flavor, however.

Last order was picture perfect as usual. Only problem currently is Naturade Vegan Smart Vanilla has been out of stock since last order. This product is required for sustainability.

THE GOOD:It tastes good in both flavors. I mean, actually good with no odd sweetener taste. Tastes a lot like cake batter and with a similar consistency. Compared to both Vega One and Raw Meal, Vega One is a stevia bomb (I passionately hate the taste of stevia) and Raw Meal doesn't taste bad but has a gritty texture. Filling and nutritionally complete. Price is fair per serving, Raw Meal is bit cheaper and Vega One is really, really proud of their stuff. All the normal good things that come with a vegan meal....good energy, satisfaction, good poops, no bloat, overall happy body, all that stuff. I usually drop in some frozen berries, quarter cup of oat flour for extra carbs, and some greens powder, a cup of almond milk and I'm on my way - good for 4 hours after that before I get hungry. Since it tastes good you aren't likely to tire of it soon.THE BAD:One serving size is two large scoops, and in a cup of liquid its pretty thick. Once you drink it, you feel a bit like you swallowed a tennis ball. It makes you FULL. And it sticks....an hour later you still feel full. It's almost uncomfortable at times and it takes it a while for your body to move it along. Not being hungry is good but it can be a bit of a brick in your belly. The container doesn't have a lot of servings, due to the large serving size.THE UGLY:The farts. Oh gawd, the farts. I went through three containers of the stuff, and I figured I just needed a week or so for my body to adjust. This was not the case. Being a vegan, I'm not exactly a stranger to farting. But this stuff brings forth the wind, and it comes knocking with a terrible vengeance. Not just in quantity, mind you, but blue-ribbon quality. It's ridiculous. It's a constant stream of gag-a-maggot indiscretions. I couldn't be in the same room with my family. Even the dog was ready to pack his bags, and he loves wretched stink. I had no idea that a perfectly nutritious meal could cause such insufferable winds of plague to be unleashed from one's body. Beware, you will NOT be popular if you are affected as I was. Vega One and Raw Meal do not perpetrate this vile crime against society when I consume it.

Absolutely love it. The taste, how it makes me feel. If I don't take it, something feels wrong about my day!

We have always bought the chocolate flavor, but can’t find it anywhere so we bought the only flavor we could find. Did not taste good
