Review on Protein Powder Original Marshmallow Pounds by Kattie Steffens

My first complaint is that the packaging is a HUGE plastic container and comes half full. I don't have a shelf big enough to fit in there - you don't even need a size, and this huge thing only holds 20 servings! I understand that such products will settle a bit during transportation and storage, but it's still ridiculous. Right now we are facing a global pollution crisis as well as a recycling crisis in most US cities. Most cities don't know what to do with plastic, and it ends up in landfills (and in rivers, lakes, oceans, and microplastics end up in our bodies, lungs, brains, and our children). These brands need to reconsider plastic packaging - I would prefer plastic to cardboard packaging (other brands are switching to cardboard with no problem). But if you use plastic, at least use the right size bottles. It could have been half the size, avoided the huge box of Revain, and saved costs on both sides. Or preferably offer a 30 or 45 day supply in a smaller bottle and reduce repeat orders. We live in a new era where everyone needs to be smarter about packaging and waste. However, this is essentially a natural product with 15 grams of protein per serving. The balls are huge, I find it difficult to fit a whole ball into a smoothie, I usually use half a ball. But that's only 7.5 grams of protein - other protein powders I use have way more protein per smaller scoop. It has very few vitamins, mainly for protein. It's also not low carb or keto. It has a slightly grainy texture. They say it can be added to water and that's normal, but I don't like it. It goes well with coconut milk, breakfast cereals, smoothies or yoghurt. I wouldn't call it a marshmallow flavor but it has a fluffy sweet flavor that is addicting. I think the price is high for only 20 servings so minus one star for that. There is a star deduction for the packaging. One star off for not organic. Minus one star for low protein and minus one star for too many carbohydrates. But add a few stars for the taste and vegetarian formula, 3 stars.
