Review on 🌱 SB Organics Chocolate Pumpkin Seed & Milk Thistle Seed Vegan Protein Powder - 454g Canister, 13g Plant Based Protein Blend - Soy, Dairy, Sugar, Gluten Free by Kristen Pack

Revainrating 5 out of 5

50 calories, zero sugar, zero cholesterol, 0.5g fat! Great vegan protein powder.

I try to add pumpkin seeds to my diet at least once/twice a week. This is usually done by adding it to oatmeal or a mix. "Pumpkin seeds are rich in many antioxidants that protect our cells from disease-causing damage and reduce inflammation." (WebMD) There are many studies documenting the potential health benefits of pumpkin seeds, including heart health, blood sugar levels, blood pressure, cardiovascular health, testosterone maintenance and more. Milk thistle is said to have a detoxifying effect on the liver. It is also believed to have a positive effect on blood cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure (although research has yet to confirm these aspects). In addition, the second half is enthusiastic as a vegan. The taste of chocolate is average. Not the biggest, but not too shabby either. Much better in almond milk than just water. This gives the smoothie a nice chocolate flavor. The nutritional values paint a healthy picture: One serving, 21 grams, contains only 50 calories, with 0g cholesterol, 0g total sugars, 0.5g total fat (zero grams saturated and trans fats). .There are only 21 servings per container. I'm usually looking for a supply of at least 30 days a month. A 21-day supply for $39 seems a bit pricey. Overall, I like the vegan protein powder. It also contains no GMOs. In addition to the Vegan and Non-GMO badges, it has a USDA organic certification/badge. This organic aspect of the USDA is right up my alley. This shows the concern for the integrity and purity of the ingredients. The product is a proven vegan protein powder. In fact, the rating went up a bit because the other half put it in the blender with cashew almond milk, strawberries, and ice cream and made a delicious smoothie. She was holding out a glass to me as I was writing this review. Considering it's very hot today (95F) this smoothie was very refreshing and healthy. So it gets a rating of 4.5 to 4.75 stars with a high recommendation.

Pros
  • SIMPLY BETTER: We extract essential amino acids from expertly grown milk thistle and pumpkin seeds, then blend them with cocoa and some monk fruit for a delicious flavor.
Cons
  • Some bugs
