Review on 🌱 Amazing Grass Organic Plant Protein Blend: Vegan Protein Powder with Beet Root - All-In-One Nutrition Shake | Original Flavor, 22 Servings by Janet Edwards

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality plant-based protein powder, mediocre taste, best mixed with other products

This "Original" Flavored Organic Plant-Based Protein Blend from Amazing Grass is about what I expected from the description here. I have used certain Amazing Grass Greens drinks extensively and have always loved their Greens products, their ingredients and the quality, but their plant protein products are new to me. The taste is "Original" and the label says "New name, more nutrients, better taste". The phrase "best taste" makes me laugh a little as I'm wondering how it tasted before... When I mix this powder with water I don't see any mixing issues in a shaker so it mixes easily in a blender. . The texture is a bit grainy, but that's normal with plant-based protein drinks. That original taste... I don't know how to describe it. The first word that comes to mind is bland. It's not a disgusting taste, but there's so little flavor that it gives an odd battery feel. It has a slightly green taste, but after drinking this "original" plant-based protein straight, I quickly decided that I should mix it up with other flavors, my morning shake/smoothie, whatever. how is it. Rather than Amazing Grass calling it the "Original" flavor, I think they should just call it "Unflavored" since some people look for it when they're mixing protein with other things and don't want a flavor conflict. one serving is 1 scoop (35g) and should yield 22 servings per container with 20g of protein per serving. The ingredients are simple and this protein powder contains many different types of proteins. Ingredients of "Protein Mix": - Pea Protein - Brown Rice Protein - Hemp Protein - Quinoa Protein All other ingredients are all kinds of powders from vegetables, fruits and vegetables. I've included a photo of the label on this jar listing all the ingredients. There is a scoop in the hopper, but powders tend to settle, so I just weigh out the amount of powder I want. You have to decide how much water to use, there is a recommended serving of 35g of powder which provides 20g of protein but I sometimes prefer a little less per serving when I want to spread the protein out throughout the day. I used a full 35 gram scoop with 12 ounces of water as recommended on the label and had no trouble mixing in the shaker. The powder is good and mixes well. The taste is ok, but it's better to consider it "no taste" than any taste. The blended protein drink has a slightly chalky texture, but not much and nothing unexpected in a plant-based protein powder. Amazing Grass also offers this product in multiple flavors, however, due to the aroma, you get fewer servings per container, 20 servings instead of 22 as in this jar. I tried the vanilla flavor of this Amazing Grass product and found that it had a slight vanilla flavor that was easy to drink. Overall, this plant-based protein blend has a neutral flavor that doesn't affect other flavors much when you mix it with other things. I found it easy to drink and my stomach tolerates it well. No complaints, although I think it would have been better marketed as "Unflavored".

Pros
  • This all-in-one organic protein shake is a convenient way to get the nutrients your body needs with an amazing taste and creamy texture, just the way you like it. Kidneys will love it.
