Raw Protein & Greens Vanilla Protein Powder – 20g Plant Based Greens Powder, Probiotics & Enzymes, Post-Workout Recovery, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Non-GMO, 20 Servings

I have this on Subscribe & Save. It's soooo good!!! Easy to mix: I use either unsweetened or vanilla almond milk and have mixed it with lactose free 2% cow milk, too. great consistency, smooth, dissolves completely. add 1 scoop to 8 oz of milk... and I use a shaker... shake it up... and it's gone before I know it... and I want more. I use this because I do not get enough protein in my diet, so use it as a supplement. since starting to use this about 3 months ago, my health has greatly improved and I no longer am protein deficient. it is sealed under the lid with a paper seal, just tear that off, and it comes with a scoop I've noticed... this powder only needs 1 scoop, while other powders ... need 2... so.... I think it's much nicer than others I've tried...

I usually expect a protein supplement to suppress my appetite since it should produce a protein overload. Adequate amounts of protein are necessary to control appetite. Also fat will control appetite but that's a real long story and not relevant here unless you're making a smoothie and adding oil (fish oil healthiest, olive oil #2) Now I have medical issues and my nutritionist's advice is to eat 30 grams of protein in one meal. 30 grams of protein is 5 large eggs, 5 oz of skinless, boneless, defatted chicken, a 7-8 oz steak with the bone in... And for optimal healing I need to do this three times a day!! (don't be neglecting your veggies...) Who the heck can wrap their tummy around that much food? Three times a day???!! Now the nutritionists only recommend a diet like this if you are trying to heal from major trauma like significant surgeries. They only recommend this for about 4-8 weeks, it's not supposed to be permanent! There are...people (I call them ding dongs) who are trying to get 100 gms of protein every day apparently for the rest of their lives? No! No, no, no! You see, 30 gms of protein will initiate protein synthesis. Healing automatically requires your body replace damaged enzymes, cells, or tissues or muscle...all of which depend on active protein synthesis. So eating protein in one sitting (2 hours) will initiate protein synthesis. The effect lasts for about 24-48 hours but if you want to keep this running full steam...hence the forced feeding. But doctors will freak out over the vast quantities of animal protein (and therefore saturated fats too). Also any high protein diet like that is really, really bad for your kidneys, your heart, you better not have difficulties with digestion... If you are going to do this, please, please drink tons of water. A gallon a day makes most doctors sigh with relief if you must eat like this. It protects the kidneys... not sure about anything else... Meanwhile there is also the recommendation that a significant portion of your protein intake should come from vegetable sources. Well guess what tofu ranges anywhere from 5 gm (silken tofu) to 15 gm for about 3-4 oz. ( Not the firm tofu, the tofu bricks - the denser the better - mostly found in Asian grocery stores - convenient much?) And I'm not about to eat tofu 3x a day. Gah! How? The only solution I could think of was a protein supplement preferably from vegetable sources. Now some of you may have heard about the scandal about 30-40-ish years ago that protein supplements were contaminated. And not just PFA or whatever. Heavy metals... lead, cadmium. Enjoy retardation much? But wait! Modern products are just as contaminated! The only testing organization that tests for all of these types of contaminants that I'm aware of is Informed Choice. They test for well over 200 harmful and dubious substances. So toss organic, non-gmo, gluten-free (well unless it's been medically proven that the stuff is harmful to you..) out the window. Your best bet is the Informed Choice seal. I've been using Vega mostly because I don't tolerate many products. If there are ingredients where I'm sensitive, I'll just toss my cookies. But Vega does not submit to Informed Choice and I wasn't really happy with their "standards". So when I saw this product I instantly switched. Good news - I can hold it down Bad news - in the race to get the highest quality product, taste has been left far behind. Initial inspection of the product immediately fills you with doubt - Do not try to swish this into your favorite beverage and drink it. It doesn't dissolve well and drinking clumps of this...You will regret this, I promise. I made a smoothies with this with almond milk and the flavor and texture was much improved. Adding powdered cocoa, banana and for me stevia worked really well. It wasn't great but there was no gagging and I could drink the whole thing. The appetite suppressant effect was there in force. Effectively I felt so full I started to skip meals like lunch... and dinner... I found myself not snacking at all. To my surprise I was loosing weight and I didn't even notice it was happening until I put on this ancient jacket from the bygone days when I was a size or two smaller and the dang thing was loose on me. Uhh..this is great for weight loss, but I promise you this diet is not what my nutritionist wanted for healing...You are suppose to drink this in addition to balanced meals.... Drat, still working on getting enough food into the stomach...

I've tried a lot of protein powders over the years, and this one is by far my favorite. The vanilla flavor is smooth and actually enjoyable compared to many others that taste chalky or artificial. I also love that it's all natural and packed with greens-it feels like a smarter choice for my daily routine. It's surprisingly filling, blends easily, and works great whether I'm making a quick shake or adding it into recipes. I go through it so quickly that I ended up setting up a monthly subscription to make sure I never run out. Highly recommend if you're looking for a clean, tasty, and reliable protein powder.

I didnt realize how small the container was. Thats my fault for not checking. Im used to only seeing the large container for about 5 more dollars. So i just assumed it was the larger one at a better price. Ither than that I really love this formula. Im allergic to basically everything n this is the only one that doesnt upset my stomach or irritate my allergies. The taste is nice not thick at all but I use water so im not sure if the consistency would change if you use something else. Love how clean the Ingredients are. For me not to have any side effects from my really bad food allergies means alo, it means this is actually good stuff. The only downside is the price for the amount. The container is about 1/3 full wich makes no sence to put it in such a big container.

Love love this for plant forward-hard to get good ingredients with higher protein. Taste is also very good. I make with Ripple milk for more protein.

I had re-ordered this several times because it's vegetable protein and has greens. And the taste was decently palatable. However, I looked at the ingredient label recently and noticed that it contained stevia. Stevia is a plant-derived sugar substitute. Plant-derived? Good. Sugar substitute? Bad. All sugar substitutes (whether plant derived like stevia or synthetically made like Splenda/sucralose) are ARTIFICIAL in the sense that they aren't real sugar. They actually interact with the taste receptors on our tongue stronger than true sugar does, which makes our brain perceive artificial sweeteners as tasting even stronger than actual sugar does (in this case Stevia is perceived to taste 150-200 times sweeter than sugar). And while these sugar substitutes are touted as awesome because they are low-calorie or even zero calorie, there have potential harmful effects. More research has to be done, but there are recent studies suggesting that artificial sweeteners (whether plant-derived or synthetic) can negatively affect our blood glucose levels and insulin levels. Sadly because it has stevia I won't be using this as my protein powder anymore. I probably won't get diabetes from taking this, but I don't like artificial anything in my food and why risk metabolic dysregulation if I can avoid it. I've switched over to Amazing Grass Protein Superfood which also has a combination of Protein and Greens, but you have to use the ORIGINAL flavor, which is basically unflavored (all the flavored ones also had stevia). Doesn't have much of a taste, except for a mild earthy taste, but that's easily fixed by adding the powder to a smoothie like banana, strawberries, and nonfat greek yoghurt.

I like using this protein and greens powder and find it works well for me. It mixes easily and feels good as part of my routine. The taste isn’t for everyone, but I don’t mind it.

As someone who is plant based, protein powder is a staple of my diet. I put this powder in my smoothies and the flavor and texture are perfect! It also will not break your bank unlike other protein powders. I am a repeat customer of this brand and especially love the vanilla & greens flavor
