Finding your taste is like goldilocks in the garden of life! (Reviews for all flavors except Vanilla)

I am writing this review as someone who has tried unflavored chocolate and vanilla flavored tea. First off, it's ridiculously cool. It will definitely give you more energy and will keep you full for an amazingly long time blah blah blah. There are enough reviews that talk about it, so let me go into the smallest of details. Something that might disgust people trying it for the first time is the texture; Say goodbye to dairy-based meal replacement shakes that reminded you of your Yoohoo childhood days! This material is thick. If you're not ready to drink it right away, I recommend adding more liquid to a scoop of powder. On first use I made my shake (two scoops of powder to the recommended liquid) and got in the car. When I got to my destination, I opened the lid of the shaker and found it almost frozen. My preferred intake now is 50% more liquid per scoop. This also brings me to another issue I'm used to: the way it picks up water is likely to result in a lumpy cocktail if you're just using a shaker unless you can shake vigorously all the time. like a blender until your hand falls off or the entire cocktail is gone. Like I said, I've adapted to that in the morning when I run out the door. Chewing your morning smoothie is like tensing your jaw muscles! It's not a very pleasant texture experience, but it's what I get when I take too many naps. For taste ratings! NOT FLAVOURED: Expect a bitter taste followed by an almost sour aftertaste. No matter how much fruit, almond butter, and even chocolate I tried mixing with it, it NEVER got rid of that completely awful taste. I might have had a bad batch but ended up throwing away an ENTIRE tube of powder after 10 failed attempts to make it palatable. You can't stuff your nose while drinking a cocktail. CHOCOLATE: Even though my first experience was so awful, I decided to return because I love the fact that this product is raw and vegan. The chocolate was a HUGE improvement but still had an undesirable aftertaste. Unlike unflavoured, I drank the whole bath! It's not chocolatey like most other meal replacement shakes, but it can still be satisfying and help you be super healthy. VANILLA SPIKE TEA: It took about a year from the end of the chocolate glass to the purchase of a mini-tube of tea. I kept looking at the tea but worried that without the strong masking taste of chocolate I would have this disgusting aftertaste. I bought a small can and mixed it with almond milk in a shaker. When I first reintroduced Garden of Life Meal Replacement, I had a slight aftertaste, but it didn't last! Three days later there was not the slightest hint of distant trouble. Not only that, it tastes insanely delicious. It's not too sweet, not as strong as chocolate and I look forward to my breakfast EVERY DAY. Since then I've signed up to Revain Subscribe and Save for regular big baths. In the mornings, when I have a little more time, I mix a scoop of vanilla spiced tea with extra unsweetened almond milk (vanilla or unflavored) and a whole banana. I can't even express how incredibly delicious this combination is. I even crave his salads for lunch. In fact, this is the healthiest dessert breakfast you can indulge in in the morning. Yes, it's worth it. Find the flavor you like! I recommend buying mini bathtubs to try out different offers before investing in something that might just end up being thrown away. And if you're new to this product, keep an open mind. The texture is difficult to customize, but it gives you the energy to feel like a superhero!
