Review on Nature's Way Alive! Ultra Shake Energizer, Vanilla Flavored, 1.2 Lbs - Soy Protein Isolate Supplement by Carmen Polk

I bought this from a local store when they were having a sale. It was still nearly twice the price. The seller said that chocolate tasted much better than vanilla, so I bought chocolate. First I tried mixing it with water. It doesn't blend as easily as they say. It had lumps and didn't taste very good. I did want to blend it into my green smoothies though, so I just put a large spoonful in the blender and it blends beautifully and the flavor actually complements the smoothie. I've heard people complain about constipation because of this. What most people don't realize is that with any protein supplement, you need to stay hydrated. I drink at least a gallon of water a day. I also eat a lot of high-fiber foods. If you eat low-nutrient foods and foods with preservatives, fast food, and similar foods, don't blame this drink for constipation. This is due to the lack of proper nutrition. It's a powerful source of nutrients, and while it contains fructose, there are worse sweeteners out there. Overall I would give this 5 stars barring the bad mix and taste so I'm a little lopsided on those two points. You may find that your urine can be light yellow when you go to the bathroom. It has to do with the B vitamins, I can't think of a better product to supplement your diet.
