Vegansmart Naturade All-in-One Plant-Based Shake – Low Sugar Nutrition with Protein, Fiber, Vitamins & Minerals, Supports Balanced Energy & Wellness, Chocolate, Vegan - 24.34 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 also For 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 digestion No whey- don't even get me started on how that chemical junk is made No artificials No metalics No gimmicks, lies or tricks Yes to as natural as possible Yes to fair price Yes to great taste Yes to healthy Here is a run down on a few 1.Warrior food- not bad but forgettable as the taste was bland 2.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 soon 6.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!!!

Edit: Idk when I first posted this, but I still use this product basically daily! I learned to mix the 2 scoops with 12 oz of water (it's water soluable, so I was doing this the hard way for the first year or so), *then* add the almond milk to fill a 32 oz blender bottle. I now also add MCT oil to keep full for longer. I hope they never stop selling this! -----_----_---------------------------------------------------------- This product is amazing. It's my coffee and breakfast all-in-one in the morning. I dislike eating in the mornings, yet I'm a cranky person when I don't eat. So, this helps keep me full for a long time (about 3-4 hours) and not be monster in the morning. The serving size does require 2 scoops, and I know people comment on how it tastes in a limited amount of plant milk/water/etc. However, I put 12 oz of almond milk in a 32 oz blender bottle, add the 2 scoops, and top off with filtered water. I shake it vigorously for a few minutes, and it tastes almost like chocolate milk. When I'm running late, it takes about 1 minutes to throw the ingredients in the bottle, and head out the door. When I get to work, I just shake it then and drink it while checking my emails. I previously tried VegaOne, but something in there upsets my stomach for hours. So, I keep buying VeganSmart and add a little bit of leftover VegaOne to top it off. I also had a *really* difficult time getting all the "chunks" of powder broken up with VegaOne. I do not have that problem with VeganSmart -- it takes less time to shake and blend; sure, sometimes there's little chunks, so I just shake it up a little more. That said, I do think VegaOne's nutrient profile is a little better, but VeganSmart wins out due to taste, not upsetting my stomach, and more easily blending. However, we're all different, so see what works for you and your body, if you're able to. Maybe this upsets your stomach but VegaOne doesn't... If you want an easy way to compare different nutrients in plant-based powders, go to cronometer.com for free to see how they stack up - that's what I did. Overall, the taste is delicious, it's a solid breakfast, it's a fair price. Highly recommend

Bit too sweet for me...

This product tastes good.Its on sweeter side so if you don’t like too sweet it’s not for you ! It definitely has something which gives stomach issues .I am surprised that only few reviews talk about it .I would say try to avoid this product .You might end up wasting your money !1 star just for taste !
