Review on 🌿 Organic Protein Superfood by Amazing Grass: Vegan Powder Shake, Complete All-in-One Nutrition, Natural Vanilla Flavor, 11 Servings (Previous Edition) by Erin Young

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A very healthy plant-based protein powder works great but doesn't taste the best.

I've been using Amazing Grass' alkalizing and detoxifying green superfood for a few months and decided to try their vanilla protein powder after getting a taste at our local organic/gourmet market when the Amazing Grass guys set up a tasting booth. I bought the canister in the store, I liked it and decided to buy more Revain because the price is better (currently). My opinion of this protein powder would be drastically different if I were drinking it for flavor and "filling". But like green superfood powders, I use this one because it's good for me and makes me feel good using it. So "flavor" is MUCH lower on my list of importance for this type of food. This isn't one of those bulky protein powders that bodybuilders use. Instead, it's just a good protein boost made from plant-based proteins (organic peas, quinoa, hemp, and chia) along with a small amount of greens added in an amount equivalent to 2 servings of fruit/veg. I use it to make smoothies as soon as I get home from a hard workout at the gym as it's important to get protein within an hour or so of a strenuous workout. My smoothies don't get interesting because of the high amount of added ingredients, as I also try to keep the calories low. I just use ice cream, some unsweetened organic almond milk, and a scoop of this protein powder. It's not tasty, but it tastes good enough to drink lightly. I regularly eat a lot of vegetables and fruit, but I love that this protein blend contains a lot of Green Food Complex in addition to protein. However, I thought I'd point out that if you like the pure vanilla flavor of protein drinks or smoothies, you might be surprised to see that the resulting smoothie has a pale green vanilla appearance (and taste) rather than a creamy-white one. have expected. The dry powder is mostly off-white, but the green color begins to show when it gets wet. One serving (1 scoop) contains 20 grams of complete protein, 4 grams of carbohydrates, and less than 1 gram of sugar. The label says it has 11 servings, but I rarely get more than 10 servings from a can. It's 100% USDA Organic, non-GMO, and gluten, dairy, and grain free.

Pros
