Garden of Life Organic Vegan Protein Plant Based Powder - Vanilla - 18oz

I really wanted to like this as I love the brand’s supplements, but it was terrible. I’m okay with a little bit of that plant-based protein taste but this is so strong I can’t mask it with anything in my smoothies, and it leaves a very gritty texture despite many mix-ins blended in.

The one-star reviews are confusing to me. Anyone familiar with vegan protein shakes knows they're a little chalky. But this tastes totally fine. I do half soy milk, half OJ in a blender and it's delicious. There is some mild grittiness and chalkiness, but it's nothing that you can't easily get used to. I also appreciate that this brand offers a complete protein and other important nutritional elements.

It is just ridiculous to make and sell protein made of flaxseed that contains so much phytoestrogens (more than even mint) which are scientifically proven to influence hormonal balance in humans Especially given that most customers will likely be men

This product provides me with plenty amount of protein and energy needed for the day. friendly for diabetics type 2

Flavor is nice, texture is gritty.

Plant base protein powders does not mix well and leaves a gritty texture. I like the taste of this just not the texture. I like to blend it with yogurt and fruits almond butter and dairy free milk. Makes it better than just drinking it plain

This is a good protein powder. It doesn’t taste the best and you have to drink it soon after you mix it, but it’s really not that bad. The fact that it doesn’t make me sick, it has a lot of good stuff in it, and it’s helping me with my workout goals are more important.

This seems to provide a vegan, complete protein. It is fairly tasty (not too sweet) and dissolves well. It does leave a rough film on the inside of the glass if one does not drink it immediately after mixing; this takes a bit of time to clean and can get on other items in the kitchen sink while doing that. I believe the product is almost the same as the company's "Raw Organic", which costs more.

it is gritty and gross tasting

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's definitely a different taste if you are not use to organic which is not necessarily a bad thing just since getting use to it for sure but once you get over that is an excellent product with really good health benefits, great way to take your protein . If you have an issue with the taste I would mix it with your smoothies.

Agree with all the one star reviews, especially the one about using different blending methods. I have tried blender bottle shaker, mixing in my vitamix, using different proportions, different liquids, etc. feels like nothing I do will truly blend to a good consistency. It’s just terrible. Had such high hopes for this since it’s organic and there were rave reviews. Please, help me find a way to mix correctly! I don’t want to waste!! It’s been months and I still haven’t been able to bring myself to finish the product, it’s that bad

Yes, it does not taste the best, I will say that and you have to make sure to mix it well. But, it has all the amino acids in it, as well as a nice chunk of proteins, and plant based.

This protein powder is clean. I use it in a smoothie every day with different frozen organic fruit. If you want a surgery product this one is not for you. This is a healthy vegan alternative.

This stuff is nasty! It does not taste good. It is chalky and does not want to mix with cow or almond mix. Save your money! Zero stars if I could all the way around.

I just opened this and I was so shocked and disappointed to see how it’s only filled halfway. I guess I expected it to be filled closer to the top for $20

I’m guessing most of the negative reviews here are coming from people who drank the protein powder alone/mixed with a milk. I agree that it’s probably not the best that way. However, I had to give this stuff 5 stars and stick up for my favorite protein powder of all time because I don’t think it deserves a bad rep. I use this stuff in smoothies every day, it blends really well as long as you don’t use too much and any powder-y flavor is hidden by the fruit. So maybe it’s a 1 star standalone beverage, but it’s 5 stars as a smoothie additive. It has great macros and I don’t think it’s overpriced for what it is.

It’s grainy, and tastes like pennies and lawn clippings. It clings to every tastebud on your tongue, leaving a horrific metallic aftertaste.

I would not recommend this to anyone. Taste is a -5.

This has the most foul texture even when dissolved fully. It looks smooth but feels like thick gritty wet chalk

The calorie and protein ratio is great on this one and it’s an affordable option! Love that it includes probiotics in at as well. It’s my go to.
