Review on ๐ŸŒฑ Jarrow Formulas Organic Plant Protein: Vanilla Spice, 16 Ounce - Powerful Plant-Based Protein Supplement! by Katie Gonzalez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Varied formula, too sweet

Love the idea of this product, using different types of plants for nutrients instead of the usual one - just use lots of it - so many formulas used. But then they went and made it painfully sweet. I didn't understand what to mix it with to reduce the sweetness while still taking the recommended amount of the product. I thought maybe I was just overly sensitive to the stevia powder, but not everyone found it too sweet. The best I've come up with is to use half the recommended amount and mix in a banana and some kind of nut or seed to give it an earthier texture. But it's a lot of work to use the powder and I'm still only getting half the amount. Anything else is great nutritionally, but if you can't stomach it, what's the point? Personally I would give this product one star because it sounded sickeningly sweet to me even after shaking/stirring the entire pack to see if there was an issue with stevia shifting to the top of the container during transit . I decided to give it an extra star just in case there was something odd about me. I didn't like it at all though and am currently using about 1/4 the recommended serving size with other unsweetened powders to try and get it over with. /protein powder, there are several, not sure if it's a quality control issue with stevia or focus groups saying they like it sweeter than real people wanting to use this healthy product.)

Pros
  • High score for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
